The Czech definite article

The definite article is what we call the word 'the' in English. The English definite article 'the' does not exist in Czech. Unlike English, a noun on its own can be considered definite without the need for a specific word to show this.

Examples

přítel

the friend

muž

the man

noc

the night

matka

the mother

sestra

the sister

Step 4 : The definite article in Czech

The definite article is what we call the word the in English. The definite article is used with nouns in English (the book, the chair, the door etc.). Using the nouns kniha, židle and dveře (book, chair, door) which you learned in Step 3, learn how to use each noun with the definite article. This is easy in Czech, because in Czech, there is no definite article. So the word kniha can mean book or the book, the word židle can mean chair or the chair and the word dveře can mean door or the door. You can scroll to the top of this page to see a short lesson about the definite article in Czech including useful examples. Once you have learned to use the definite article with the Czech nouns kniha, židle and dveře, you're ready to move on to Step 5 (the plural in Czech).
