| INTRODUCTION |
| In this lesson we’re going to continue with counting from 11 to 100. |
| GRAMMAR POINT |
| Let’s just quickly review 0-10. |
| 0 nula |
| 1 jeden |
| jedna if the thing you count is feminine |
| next we have: |
| 2 dva for masculine words and |
| dvě for feminine |
| 3 tři |
| 4 čtyři |
| 5 pět |
| 6 šest |
| 7 sedm |
| 8 osm |
| 9 devět |
| 10 deset |
| ・ |
| Now let’s continue with 11 to 20. |
| 11 jedenáct |
| (slow) je-de-náct |
| jedenáct |
| This word may sound very difficult when you first hear it, but in reality it is very simple. |
| The second part of the word -náct can be translated into English as “teen”. You will discover this part in the counters 11-19. |
| Here are the other numbers that follow. |
| 12 dvanáct |
| (slow) dva-náct |
| dvanáct |
| 13 třináct |
| (slow) tři-náct |
| třináct |
| 14 čtrnáct |
| (slow) čtr-náct |
| čtrnáct |
| 15 patnáct |
| (slow) pat-náct |
| patnáct |
| 16 šestnáct |
| (slow) šest-náct |
| šestnáct |
| 17 sedm-náct |
| (slow) sedm-náct |
| sedmnáct |
| 18 osmnáct |
| (slow) osm-náct |
| osmnáct |
| 19 devatenáct |
| (slow) de-va-te-náct |
| devatenáct |
| 20 dvacet |
| (slow) dva-cet |
| dva-cet |
| You probably noticed that the number twelve sounds different. |
| Dvacet is composed from two other words. The first one is dva which means “two” |
| (slow) Dva. |
| Dva. |
| The second word is cet. You will see that this part is in the counters from 20 to 40. From 50 to 90, there is another part of the word - sát. |
| Let’s count from ten to ten until one hundred, so we can see the similarities. |
| 10 deset |
| (slow) de-set |
| deset |
| 20 dvacet |
| (slow) dva-cet |
| dvacet |
| 30 třicet |
| (slow) tři-cet |
| třicet |
| 40 čtyřicet |
| (slow) čty-ři-cet |
| čtyřicet |
| 50 padesát |
| (slow) pa-de-sát |
| padesát |
| 60 šedesát |
| (slow) še-de-sát |
| šedesát |
| 70 sedmdesát |
| (slow) se-dm-de-sát |
| sedmdesát |
| 80 osmdesát |
| (slow) osm-de-sát |
| osmdesát |
| 90 devadesát |
| (slow) de-va-de-sát |
| devadesát |
| Finally, we have sto, which is “one hundred.” |
| 100 sto |
| (slow) sto |
| sto |
| ・ |
| Now that we learned the tens, let’s learn counting the numbers that are in between. |
| 21 sounds like this: dvacet jedna. |
| Dvacet means “twenty”. |
| (slow) Dva-cet. |
| Dvacet. |
| Next we have jedna which means “one”. |
| The whole number dvacet jedna is literally translated as “twenty one”. |
| Let’s make some sentences using the numbers now. |
| ・ |
| Here is the first one: |
| “I am twenty-one years old.” |
| Je mi dvacet jedna let. |
| Let’s break it down: |
| (slow) Je. |
| Once again: |
| Je. |
| Je is a present form of the verb that means “to be.” |
| The next word, mi, means “to me”. |
| (slow) Mi. |
| Mi. |
| The word dvacet jedna means “twenty-one”. |
| (slow) Dva-cet jed-na. |
| Dvacet jedna. |
| The last word let means “years”. |
| (slow) Let. |
| Let. |
| Altogether, we have: |
| Je mi dvacet jedna let. |
| ・ |
| Let’s try making the Czech word for “fifty–three.” “Fifty” is padesát and “three” is tři. Putting them together, we have padesát tři or “fifty-three.” |
| Let’s break it down: |
| (slow) Pa-de-sát tři. |
| And once more: |
| Padesát tři. |
| ・ |
| Let’s use padesát tři to say “I have fifty-three euros”: |
| Mám padesát tři euro. |
| Let’s break that down: |
| (slow) Mám pa-de-sát tři eu-ro. |
| And at a natural speed: |
| Mám padesát tři euro. |
| Mám is translated as “I have”. |
| We just learned that padesát tři means “fifty-three.” |
| (slow) Pa-de-sát tři. |
| Padesát tři. |
| The next word, euro, means “euro” |
| (slow) euro |
| euro |
| The whole sentence, then, is |
| Mám padesát tři euro. |
