GENEALOGICAL WORD LIST

Czech
This list contains Czech words with their English translations. The words included here are those that you are likely to find in genealogical sources. If the word (or some form of it) that you are looking for is not on this list, please consult a Czech-English dictionary. (See the "Additional Resources" section.) Czech is a Slavic language derived from the West Slavic language family. Czech is related to Slovak and Polish and is used in the genealogical sources throughout the Czech Republic. Czech is the language of the Czech Republic and was the official language in the Czech lands of Bohemia, Moravia, and Silesia in the former Czechoslovakia. In addition, the Czech language may be found in the records of Czech communities in the United States, Canada, and other areas settled by Czechs. Before 1918, the Czech lands were provinces of Austria, which, together with Hungary, constituted the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Records written before 1918 may be in German, Latin, or Czech. Czech records often contain German and Latin words. See the German Genealogical Word List (34067) and the Latin Genealogical Word List (34077). Gender. Czech words for persons, places, and things (nouns) are classified as masculine, feminine, or neuter. Adjectives used to describe the singular and plural forms of Czech words must have the proper masculine, feminine, or neuter endings: star mu old man sta mui old men star ena old woman star eny old women star msto old city star msta old cities This word list gives only the singular masculine form of adjectives. Thus, star, star, star, and sta (all forms of old) are listed as star. The endings of past tense verbs also change, depending on the gender and number of the subject: narodil se narodila se narodilo se narodili(y) se he was born she was born it (the child) was born they were born

This word list gives only the narodil se (he was born) form of the past tense verb. You can conclude that narodila se means she was born, etc. Plurals. Plural forms of Czech words usually change the singular word: Words ending in -a change to -y: ena wife eny wives Words ending in -o change to -a: msto city msta cities Words ending in -e and - do not change: ulice street ulice streets Words ending in a consonant add -y. A few words add -i, -ov, or -e to form the plural: list page listy pages mu husband mui husbands The plural form may change the basic word: dt child bratr brother zmek palace dti children brati brothers zmky palaces

LANGUAGE CHARACTERISTICS
Variant Forms of Words In Czech, the forms of most words will vary according to how they are used in a sentence. Who, whose, whom, or marry, marries, married are examples of words in English with variant forms. In Czech, any word may have different forms, depending on how it is used. This word list gives the standard form of each Czech word. The endings of Czech words in a document often differ from what you find in this list. Surnames will have the added ending -ov or - if the person referred to is female: Surname Novk Pleva Novotn + female ending Novkov Plevov Novotn

Grammatical Use. The endings of Czech words can also vary, depending on the grammatical use of the words. Czech grammar requires a different ending for a word used as a subject, a possessive, an object, or with a preposition. Czech words fall into several classes, each with its own set of grammatical endings. Certain possessive endings give the meaning of to a word. C Nouns change the endings to show possession. Nouns ending with a consonant add -a or -e: bratr brother bratra of brother mu husband mue of husband Nouns ending with -a add -y: sestra sister sestry of sister Nouns ending with -o add -a: msto city msta of city Plural masculine nouns change to -: mui husband mu of husbands Plural feminine or neuter nouns drop the last vowel: eny wife en of wives C Adjectives change the endings to show possession. Adjectives ending in - change to -ho: narozen born narozenho of the born Adjectives ending in - change to -: ktn baptized ktn of the baptized Adjectives ending in - change to -ho: neznm unknown neznmho of the unknown Adjectives ending in - change to -ho: prvn first prvnho of the first Plural adjectives ending in - or - add -ch: zemel deceased zemelch of the deceased erbovn heraldic erbovnch of the heraldic These examples show some endings in context: Syn zemelho Josefa Novka a Anny Plevov means son of the deceased Josef Novk and of Anna Plevov (Pleva). Manelstv mezi Karlem Vclavem Havlem a Barborou Mari Kozrovou means marriage between Karel Vclav Havel and Barbora Marie Kozrov (Kozr).

Alphabetical Order Written Czech uses several letters in addition to the 26 letters used in the English alphabet: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , . The letter combination ch is also considered a single letter and is alphabetized after h. Letters q, w, and x are used only in words of foreign origin. Czech dictionaries and indexes use the following alphabetical order: a, b c, d, e,, f g h ch i, j k l m n, o, p (q) r, s, t, u,, v (w) ( x) y, z, This word list follows the standard English alphabetical order. However, when you work with alphabetized Czech records, use the Czech alphabetical order.

Spelling
Spelling rules were not standardized in earlier centuries. In Czech, the following spelling variations are common: i, y, and j used interchangeably s and z used interchangeably w used for v rz used for sz used for cz used for Czech is a phonetic language, which means words are pronounced as they are written.
