Hello everybody, My name is Jana and I live in Prague, the Czech Republic. I should probably introduce myself a bit – I love music, online stuff, technology, ice hockey, beer, friends, having fun, and definitely meeting new people and learning new things! - I am not coming here often now. In case I won't reply, this is probably the reason. Also, I've already found so many awesome friends here. I suggest to everyone, keep looking and talking with the world. You'll find great people who you share your passion for languages, as well. I am sure about that. - Have a nice day!

    I am not a native speaker, but this is how I feel it: "Even" in the first sentence puts more stress on "to know" which implies you want to emphasize "I don't know". "Even" in the second one stresses "here" (the exact location) that means you are saying "I am not sure why I am exactly here on this particular place". Am I wrong?

    Dan, thank you. I just wanted to be sure. I would not use "sth" in a regular text, but speaking with friends is one of the occasions when using it is acceptable for me. So I will keep using it like that. 

    "Phrasal verb" might be sort of unnatural for English native speakers. I presume you are right about the terminology, and it was probably created by native speakers of some language where "phrasal verbs" are not used. :) In Czech we don't have such thing, and it's good to call it somehow. This system of phrases containing more than one word, having a different meaning and treated as one word is not familiar to us.

    Hi!

    I have to confess that sometimes I use "sth" as I saw it in online dictionaries (f.e. "be on top of sth" etc.). I don't use it in regular texts (neither formal or informal), but I use it as a shortening when chatting with friends, and it's for the same reason why people use "lol", "rofl"... Pure laziness. :)

    Is using sth really so faulty? If yes, I will try to avoid it! :)

    Dopis

    Važená paní..., (*1)

    jmenuji se.... a jsem šéfredaktorem časopisu ... v .... v . Děkan naší fakulty mne požádal (*2), abych Vám nabídl (*3) stát se členem vědecké rady našeho časopisu.


    Členem vědecké rady časopisu muže být obvykle pouze kandidát s titulem habilitovaného doktora. Proto mám pro Vás jiný návrh. Hledám kontaktní osobu pro autory a recenzenty v České republice a na Slovensku. Popis našeho časopisu si můžete přečíst na na naší webové stránce ........... Publikujeme texty o multikulturalismu, hudbě, výtvarném umění a literatuře. Sháníme osobu, která bude vyhledávat texty talentovaných autorů v České republice a na Slovensku právě v těchto oborech.

    Také byste měli hledat recenzentů těchto textů, požádat autory k opravu svých článků. – this sentence doesn't make to me. Might be better to say something like: "Také byste oslovoval recenzenty a žádal autory o opravu jejich článků."

    Zásady pro vyhodnocování a formulování recenzí a článků si můžete přečíst na naší webove stránce.

    Odpovězte prosím v případě zájmu o spolupráci.

    Srdečně zdravím

    *1 – feminime form is "Vážená paní <surname here>" for a married woman, but "Vážená slečno <surname here> for unmarried.

    *2 – could be "mě požádal", but insted of "mě" is also possible to use "mne" that is more formal. 

    *3  – "nabídl" is a masculine (if a writer is a man), "nabídla" feminime (writer is a woman).

    Drunk man introduced himself in a bomb threat Czech man tried to perform a joke, unfortunately for him this one did not go so well. While others were busy with New Year’s Eve celebrations, the main actor of our story tried to perform something he though would be funny. But it was not. Drunk young man called a police, and reported a bomb located in Ralsko military area. After doing this, he did not hang out the call but kept talking with a police officer. „He used his own real name during the call, thus policemen were able to track him down soon and found him in a near restaurant.”, said a Police spokeswoman. The perpetrator pleaded his guilty on the spot and told there was no bomb at the place he had specified. The man wasn’t so creative as Soviet Army had been settled in the Ralsko military area until 1991, and the place is relatively known for occurrence of an unexploded ammo, including bombshells. Findings of Soviet ammunition have been always made there on daily basis, although it’s not such common nowadays as it was in the past. How the perpetrator is going to be sanctioned is not clear yet.
