Lesson Transcript

áct, devatenáct and dvacet. But for dvanáct, třináct, šestnáct,sedmnáct and osmnáct, you just have to add náct to the units.
Let’s not stop at 20! Counting from ten to one hundred is super easy! Now I'll give you the tens:
Ahoj, já jsem Veronika. Hi everybody! I am Veronika.
Welcome to CzechClass101.com’s “Česky za 3 minuty”. The fastest, easiest, and most fun way to learn Czech.
In the last lesson, you learned the numbers from one to ten.
Do you remember them?
Here, I'll tell you again:
Jedna, dva, tři, čtyři, pět, šest, sedm, osm, devět, deset!!
And now let’s continue from eleven.
Jedenáct.
[slowly] Jedenáct.
Dvanáct.
[slowly] Dvanáct.
Třináct.
[slowly] Třináct.
Čtrnáct.
[slowly] Čtrnáct.
Patnáct.
[slowly] Patnáct.
Šestnáct.
[slowly] Šestnáct.
Sedmnáct.
[slowly] Sedmnáct.
Osmnáct.
[slowly] Osmnáct.
Devatenáct.
[slowly] Devatenáct.
And finally we have:
Dvacet.
[slowly] Dvacet.
Okay, now repeat after me. I'll say the numbers and give you time to repeat each one.
11. jedenáct
12. dvanáct
13. třináct
14. čtrnáct
15. patnáct
16. šestnáct
17. sedmnáct
18. osmnáct
19. devatenáct
20. dvacet
These numbers may seem harder to remember, but you really just have to memorize jedenáct, čtrnáct, patn
třicet (30)
čtyřicet (40)
padesát (50)
šedesát (60)
sedmdesát (70)
osmdesát (80)
devadesát (90)
sto (100)
While you have to memorize a few of these numbers, there are a couple of tricks that will make memorizing them incredibly easy! In order to build třicet, which means "thirty", you just add “cet” to the word for “three”, which is “tři", and you get třicet. The same goes for čtyřicet [slowly]
třicet, čtyřicet.
To build sedmdesát meaning “seventy”, you just add “desát” to sedm, “seven”. The same goes for osmdesát, meaning “eighty”.
sedmdesát, osmdesát.
So now you only have to remember padesát, šedesát, devadesát and sto.
The last thing to learn in this lesson is how to form compound numbers above twenty. This is also super easy!
Take the tens and simply add the numbers you learned in the previous lesson.
Let’s try it out.
How would you say "fifty-six" in Czech? Let’s take it step-by-step. "Fifty" is padesát, and "six" is šest.. so “fifty-six” is padesát šest.
[slowly] Padesát šest.
Padesát šest! It’s done! Isn’t that easy?
Let’s make another number, for instance, "ninety-eight."
Take "ninety", devadesát, and add "eight", osm!
Devadesát osm!
Now it’s time for Veronika’s Insights.
If you are talking about time in Czech, you can use the numbers we have learned in this lesson.
For example, if you want to say “We will meet at 16:30”, you can simply say Setkáme se v šestnáct třicet.
Setkáme se means “we will meet”.
Let’s try another one: “We will meet at 19:45”, Setkáme se v devatenáct čtyřicet pět.
So now you know how to make an appointment in Czech!
After only two lessons, you are now able to count to one hundred in Czech!
In the next lesson we are going to put your number knowledge to use! Do you have all the skills you need to go shopping in the Czech Republic? If not, I'll be waiting for you in our next Česky za 3 minuty lesson.
Ahoj příště!
