THIS WEEK’S TOPIC: DOUBLE NEGATIVE IN CZECH

THE TRANSCRIPT/HANDOUT IS DOWN BELOW

Yesterday’s Recap: The Essential Words
In our previous session, we explored critical words such as NIKDO (no one), NIKDE (nowhere), and NIC (nothing). If you missed it, I highly recommend revisiting that episode to build a solid foundation for today’s lesson.

The Importance of Double Negatives
When you want to use the expressions from yesterday’s episode in a sentence, remember this rule: the verb must always be in its negative form, regardless of tense.

Let’s dive into some examples to see this in action:

• „Kdy jsi byla v Austrálii?“ (When were you in Australia?)
  „Nikdy jsem v Austrálii nebyla.“ (I have never been to Australia.)
• „Kdo přišel domů?“ (Who came home?)
  „Nikdo nepřišel.“ (No one came.)
• You can find more examples in today’s episode & the handout down below.

Visual Learning
For those who are visual learners, I encourage you to download a handout from today’s episode. Post it somewhere visible—eg. your fridge—to ensure you’re frequently reminded of how these sentences function.
