THIS WEEK’S TOPIC: OVOCE/FRUIT

THE TRANSCRIPT/HANDOUT IS DOWN BELOW

Learning the Colours in Czech

Jaké je ovoce? (What is the fruit like?)

Jakou má barvu? (What colour does it have?)

  • Bílé – White

  • Červené – Red

  • Ovoce je hnědé. (The fruit is brown.)

Interactive Learning: Questions and Patterns

I’ll ask questions in Czech and provide answers. Focus on the colours and the corresponding fruits:

  • Jaké ovoce je oranžové? (What fruit is orange?)
    Oranžový je pomeraňč. (Orange is the orange.)
  • Oranžová je mandarinka a meruňka. (Orange is the tangerine and apricot.)
  • Jaké ovoce je červené? (What fruit is red?)
    Červený je meloun. (Red is the watermelon.)
  • Červená je jahoda. (Red is the strawberry.)
  • Červené je granátové jablko. (Red is the pomegranate.)
  • Jaké ovoce je zelené? (What fruit is green?)
    Zelená je hruška. (Green is the pear.)
  • Zelené je jablko a kiwi. (Green is the apple and kiwi.)
  • Jaké ovoce je fialové? (What fruit is violet?)
    Borůvky jsou fialové. (Blueberries are violet.)
  • Švestky jsou fialové. (Plums are violet.)
  • Ostružiny jsou tmavě fialové nebo černé. (Blackberries are dark violet or black.)
  • Jaké ovoce je černé? (What fruit is black?)
    Černý je rybíz. (Black is the currant.)
  • Může být také červený a bílý. (It can also be red and white.)

The endings change based on the gender of the noun they modify:

  • TEN POMERANČ (the orange) is masculine, so you say ORANŽOVÝ.
  • MERUŇKA (apricot) is feminine, so you say ORANŽOVÁ MERUŇKA.
  • JABLKO (apple) is neutral, so you say ZELENÉ JABLKO.

Learning in context rather than isolating vocabulary will be more beneficial.

I am a tutor of Czech for foreigners, creator and storyteller. Let me guide you through the fascinating jungle which is called "CZECH LANGUAGE". No worries as I have the best navigation & first aid kit thanks to years and years of teaching and creating unique and effective teaching materials. Renča is an author of multiple courses, eg. 3-month group course of Czech with RENČA (different levels), e-books "How to improve your spoken Czech aka TABOO GAME" and "Hra na tabu (pro děti)" which help people with fluency and enhancing Czech vocabulary in an effective way (learning while playing).
