Czech phrase/word of the day.



We all remember:
Ahoj = Hello [Pronounced like “Ahoy, Matey” (without the “Matey”), but with accent on the first syllable. (The Czech always accent the first syllable, so keep that in mind.)]
Prosím = Please (Prounounced “pro-seem” – remember which syllable gets accented. Oh, and roll your “r”)

Our new phrase:

Kde je nákupni centrum? = Where’s a shopping mall? (Pronounced “gde ye na-kup-nyee tsen-trum”, of course. I mean, that is so obvious!)
I think I have a few sisters who would find this a key phrase in Prague. (And I bet they are trying to memorize it as we speak!)
