Lesson Transcript

INTRODUCTION
If you go to a Czech pharmacy or hospital, you should tell them about any allergies you may have.
GRAMMAR POINT
In Czech, “I’m allergic to this product” is:
Jsem alergický na tenhle produkt.
Let’s break it down:
(slow) Jsem a-ler-gic-ký na ten-hle pro-dukt.
Once more:
Jsem alergický na tenhle produkt.
The first word jsem is form of the verb that means “to be”.
(slow) Jsem.
Jsem.
The second word, alergický means “allergic”.
(slow) A-ler-gic-ký.
Alergický.
The next word is na and means “on” or “for”.
(slow) Na.
Na.
Then we have tenhle, which is the masculine form of “this”.
And the last word is produkt, which means “product” in English.
(slow) Pro-dukt.
Produkt.
Let’s hear the expression again:
Jsem alergický na tenhle produkt.
It means “I’m allergic to this product.” You can point at the product at the same time.
・
If you have a gluten allergy, for example, you will want to say “I’m allergic to gluten.” In Czech, this is..
Jsem alergický na lepek.
It has the word lepek meaning “gluten” in English.
(slow) Le-pek.
Lepek.
Let’s hear the whole sentence again:
(slow) Jsem a-ler-gic-ký na le-pek.
Jsem alergický na lepek.
It means “I’m allergic to gluten.”
・
Using the same pattern, you can also say “I’m allergic to milk.” In Czech “milk” is mléko.
(slow) Mlé-ko.
Mléko.
You just replace the word for “gluten” with the word mléko meaning “milk”.
To say “I’m allergic to milk.”, you can say.. Jsem alergický na mléko.
Let’s hear it one more time slowly:
(slow) Jsem a-ler-gic-ký na mlé-ko.
Jsem alergický na mléko.
