Linguistics

Czech is a beautiful, but tricky language. Jazykovědma aneb Kaleidoskop češtiny (The Linguist-Witch, or a Kaleidoscope of Czech) offers a mix of stories and curiosities that prove our language is never boring. You'll discover what gingerbread has in common with pepper, why Jan is called Honza and Josef is called Pepa, where the saying “proti gustu žádný dišputát” (there's no accounting for taste) comes from, or why a ředitel (director) řídí (directs), and not ředí (dilutes). This playful guide combines humour, linguistic curiosity, and history, revealing that there's a story hidden behind every word.
