MORE:

D, T, N in front of i/í and ě are pronounced as Ď, Ť, Ň (example: děti is pronounced ďeťi)

writting Ď, Ť, Ň in front of i/í, y/ý, ě is forbidden

Mě is pronounced mně

Both are used in written text and there are ridiculously complicated rules for which one should be used where

Y/ý has to be written after hard consonants and D, T, N when you want to pronounce them normally

I/í has to be written after soft consonants

The rules for writing i/í and y/ý after ambivalent consonants are complicated and have successfully traumatized generations of czechs

Ě pronounced as je can be written only after B, P, V, but can be also written as bje, pje, vje and which one is it has again complicated rules

I would give you some other tips, but most shortcuts work only if you’re already fluent

Czech grammar has only two constants:

Everything has ridiculously complicated rules

ALL of those rules have exceptions that you just have to remember

Storytime

So...it's time to introduce you to the wicked ways of my weirdness, to show you what it's like to be me, starting from the beginning...

Right now I'm in my first semester at Charles university, Prague. I've been living in the Czech republic for a few months now, I chose to move there right after finishing high school in my home country. I spent years preparing for my life abroad, studying the Czech language, taking care of all the formalities that are necessary to move to a new country, most of it by myself, getting to know the country that I consider my home and I wish to live in for the rest of my life.

Why all this? What made me take such an unexpected choice, leaving behind everything I knew, saying goodbye to my friends and family and to the life I could have had in my home country?

As you could probably guess from my username and the content on my blog, the answer is simple:

Jan Palach

Yes. That Jan Palach. The student who on 16th January 1969 set himself on fire in protest of the apathy and resignation of the Czechoslovak people following the soviet occupation of Czechoslovakia. A guy who's been dead for over half a century.

I first heard about him during a time when I was struggling a lot with my mental health. His story gave me strength and hope, what he did reminded me that there are things worth fighting for, things worth living for. I know this sounds kinda paradoxical given that he died because of what he did but that's the point - he was willing to sacrifice his life because he wanted others to live in a better world. He didn't kill himself because he hated life, on the contrary he loved it.

I found something that gave me joy, something I liked doing - reading and watching everything I could find about him. I spent a lot of time researching him and loved every new detail I found out. I started researching him out of admiration for his act and became more and more intrigued by his personality, his interests, the things he believed in...I look up to him a lot. It's incredible how much this helped me getting better mentally and eventually healing from the worst of my mental issues. I started looking forward to the future again, especially after visiting the Czech Republic for the first time.

I came to Prague to pay my respects to Jan Palach, to visit the places where he lived, to say thank you...and fell in love with the city and Czech culture overall more than I expected. I met amazing people and had some of the best experiences of my life, and soon after I realised that moving to Czechia was the right thing to do. That I would regret it for the rest of my life if I didn't go through with it, that if I stayed in my home country I would never be as happy as I am now.

Two years later I finally packed my things and went on my way...as soon as I left the airport on my arrival I felt that I'd made the right choice and everything that happened since then only confirmed that feeling. Even the bad things. It's not always easy but it feels right, in a way that's hard to convey by words. I sometimes think about how crazy this all is but I'm so glad it happened. I'm thankful for everything I have now, my friends, my hobbies, my new home. I love it every day more. And I don't care how weird it is that all this started because of a guy who died more than half a century ago. Was it only a coincidence that I watched the news that day when they talked about him? Is there more to it? Who knows? Is it relevant? I don't think so.

I hope he'd be happy to know that he saved me and how much he means to me. If I could, I'd thank him for everything.

I started this blog to share my feelings and my journey as an expat in Czechia. You'll find memes, stories of a foreigner's life in Prague and of course a lot of history-related things. I'm happy to answer all your questions and tell you more. I hope to make new friends and find people with whom I can talk about my interests. I'm glad to be here and I love you all, I'm proud of y'all for being here too <3

this post took me waaayyyy too long to write and maybe I'll edit it again sometime in the future, if you read all of this I'm genuinely impressed, please tell me your thoughts in the comments or send an ask if you want to :)

I went to Czech Republic with my mother. 💓

I think the scenery I saw will be useful in my future songs. 💐☺︎

stumbled upon a post mentioning you using czech for viktor's native language and since i do know czech, ill throw at you a little headcannon of mine where Viktor uses the petname 'Zlato' for Jayce, as a little bit of a pun since it means 'gold' in czech an he is the golden boy of Piltover after all (it can be used platonically as well but mostly while expressing gratitude or appreciation and not towards a person significantly older than you)

maybe you're already aware of it since its a one of the most used petnames, either way have a great day im now on my way to check out some of your work :))

I did not know that one!! I had Googled Czech terms of endearment, and found some decent lists. I use lásko a lot, but the main pet name I went with is sluníčko, mainly just because I really enjoy playing with the sun/moon dynamic in my writing of JayVik. I don’t know if this is a common pet name or not in Czech, but I figured since this is Runeterra and I’m just using Czech as a stand in, hopefully I could play with the language a little (but I do try to be mindful of what is and isn’t polite, don’t wanna give my Czech-speaking readers whiplash, haha!)

I do love the pun of Zlato though, it would be a cute way to work it in. Like, Jayce dislikes Golden Boy when it’s slapped on him by Piltover, but Zlato from Viktor? It’s just different, it feels like Viktor truly means it. Might work it into some stories in the future, maybe divorce era? Could have an extra layer then, if Viktor is mocking him or being sarcastic.

Anyhoo, appreciate the Czech tip, and I hope you enjoy my fics!

Občas si uvědomím jak je čeština krásný jazyk.

Když byli naši ještě spolu, říkali si navzájem brouku/broučku a oba mi dodnes říkají beru (beruško).
