| Cultural Insight |
| Jennifer: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight. |
| Martin: Adjectives can definitely enrich your tongue and help you better describe what you want to express. If you really insist on an adjective, you can use the word velmi, as for example velmi mladý “very young”. Or opravdu - opravdu dobrý meaning "really good”). |
