| POST |
| John: Listen again to Libor's post. |
| Karin: Dneska máme výročí. Díky za všechno miláčku. |
| John: "We have an anniversary today. Thank you for everything, darling." |
| Karin: (SLOW) Dneska máme výročí. Díky za všechno miláčku. (Regular) Dneska máme výročí. Díky za všechno miláčku. |
| John: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "We have an anniversary today." |
| Karin: Dneska máme výročí. |
| John: The first word means "today," second is the verb "to have" in the first person plural form, and the last word means "anniversary." Listen again- "We have an anniversary today." is... |
| Karin: (SLOW) Dneska máme výročí. (REGULAR) Dneska máme výročí. |
| John: Then comes the phrase - "Thanks for everything, darling.." |
| Karin: Díky za všechno miláčku. |
| John: The first word in this expression stands for the English "thanks." It is a noun. This word is used in informal spoken language. Formal Czech prefers to use the verb, corresponding to the English "to thank," which is |
| Karin: děkovat. |
| John: Listen again- "Thanks for everything, darling." is... |
| Karin: (SLOW) Díky za všechno miláčku. (REGULAR) Díky za všechno miláčku. |
| John: All together, "We have an anniversary today. Thank you for everything, darling." |
| Karin: Dneska máme výročí. Díky za všechno miláčku. |
