A4.2.5 definice

    1. Prostředí : setting


    1. zároveň : at the same time


    1. vzít : to take. Notice that this word is used all over in Czech fairy tales with the meaning of taking a bride.

    1. vůz : a car, a wagon, but vozy is plural

    1. povinnost : responsibility, duty. Note that there is a difference between the two, but I don’t really remember what that difference is.

    1. výběr : a choice. This is one of those words that looks a little bit strange and you just have to memorize.


    1. šance : a chance. Ugh. Duh. But that problem I have is more of knowing which pád it is.

    1. dávka : a dose, a burst. Maybe just...think of the dove representing the Holy Ghost at Christ’s baptism bursting in suddenly. Maybe that is a really stupid mnemonic device. Well. Aren’t they all.


    1. omezení : limitations. This is kind of a false looking cognate. It looks like mezi. But perhaps that is not the right cognate.

    1. zdejší : local. For some reason, this always seems like it should mean, “current.” I guess I am mixing it up with nynější. Not the same. Zde. Like, here. In this place. As opposed to nyní, now. Okay. I can remember that.
