@@DreamPrague I guess it’s something like “Now we’re talking!” Where you previously weren’t satisfied, now you are.

Samozřejmě. Příklad věty: "Ta jízda Audinou je jiný kafe než tou starou Škodovkou." For "apples and oranges" we use "jabka a hrušky" and the expression "sčítat jabka a hrušky" is especially used when somebody gets unreliable results from nonrelevant data.
Exactly - "jiný kafe" means something better. Like if you talk about something crap and you trying to compare it with something real good. So the better is "jiný kafe".
@@karelzidek5102 We use "plantat hrušky s jabkama" :-D - most of the time someone talks some nonsense about something ... "je to jiný kafe" could be easily translated to english, with respect to daily usage, like "Oh yes, that is much better (huge difference)" BUT it can be used in negative context as well, like "A new teacher, you will see, to je jiné kafe" - meaning the new teacher is really harsh or teaches completely different (not good or bad, just different) ... and we are getting back - to je jiný kafe means "it is something really different" like "sto a jedna" :-D
"To je jiné kafé" se používá v jiném významu. Není to čistě o tom, že je něco jiného, ale je to spíše vyjádření kladného ohodnocení v porovnání s předchozí horší situací/věcí (něco jako "to předchozí bylo nanic, ale tohle je fakt super"). Důležitý je ten prvek porovnání a spokojenosti se současnou variantou. Řekl bych, že to má blízko k "this is way better then previous one". Mimochodem, podobný význam má i české sousloví "To si dám líbit".
Máte pravdu, že nejčastěji se to používá v tom smyslu, že něco bylo špatný a teď je to dobré nebo o poznání lepší. Ale dá se to použit i tak, že je to prostě jiné a nemusí tam být zlepšení. Ale je to opravdu velice málo.
To jsem v životě neslyšel, to se v normální češtině nepoužívá, ale když jsem hledal, dočetl jsem se, že to je zřejmě kalk německého idiomu "Gabelfrühstück". Takže se to asi používá jen mezi germanofilními či austrofilními hogo fogo hipstry.
We don't say "bordel" about a person like - "Ona je bordel" - she is a mess. But you can say "Ona je bordelářka" - meaning that she makes a lot of mess - not cleaning her room, she's not organized etc. Or you say it about your pets - "Moje kočka je hrozný bordelář" - because cats spread out litter everywhere, knock off things etc. But you don't say it about someone's looks. She's a mess could be "vypadá hrozně" - when someone's having a bad day, the person is sick, no time to make yourself beautiful in the morning and therefore they look terrible.... or "bože, ta má dneska ránu" - oh god, she looks terrible today (bad choice of dress, makeup, bad haircut) - this saying might be mean in some situations, but you can say it to your friend when he's wearing a funny costume for example.
I always understood the phrase " She is a mess" on a mental health level, not physical looks level. Something like she has had a breakdown, she is a mess". I might be wrong though

Bordel - yeah, literally means brothel. It can be a physical mess (“Kids, I want you to clean up that ‘bordel’ in your room right now!”), an organizational mess or chaos in general (“There is a complete ‘bordel’ in the government.”) or any kind of hype (classic example - a DJ at a party shouting at the crowd:”udělejte bordel!” meaning “make some noise!”)

Poslední kapka - last drop - is also a shortened version of a whole idea, like the "last straw" that breaks camel's neck. Here you have the last drop that falls in a chalice, and it overflows.
“To je jiné kafe” is used as a reaction to situation improvement and you usually express it with excitement....English version would be something like “Now we’re talking...!”, or “That’s what I’m talking about...”
I like these two (try to figure it out :-D ) - Čumí na to, jak tele na nová vrata. (He stares on it like the calf (stares) on a new door.) Or the second one - Čumí jak čerstvě vyoraná myš. (He stares like newly plowed mouse.) :-D Both of them have similar meaning (but slightly different).
"Last drop" that fills up the challice of patience to the breaking point and is poured over...all frustration or anger desolve the patience that push someone to action... =)

Hi Jen, a great vlog! "Now you are talking" is probably 'jiny kafe.' Or "that's the ticket!" also works. Typically it means a vast improvement from the past. "Vetrelec" means an intruder, so 'vetrit se' is to get somewhere you don't belong. In that sense, your friends' guesses were incorrect, but I like the way they think!
Tam jde hlavně o tu slovní hříčku dvou zvukově podobných slov znamenajících něco naprosto jiného, podobně jako u hodinek a holínek. Na podobné bázi je založen i ten text, že "Člověk by neměl používat cizí termity, když je nezná suterénně nebo není v dobré konvici, protože je zde veliké rizoto, že to skončí fiatem. Každý se tváří jako suvenýr, ale vrátí se mu to jako buzerant."
There's actually one more thing that may be interesting - not sure if that's common in other languages. Czechs like to use short citations of popular czech movies as idioms. E.g. in utter disgust you can say "Velebnosti, du blejt!" (reference to Slunce, seno, erotika). Or if someone's (unsuccessfully) looking for something and you want to banter him/her you can say "Nasli moji radcove, nasli?" (reference to Pysna princezna). Or if someone's too ambitious but not skillful you call him "Hujer" who was a hyperbolized character of such 'qualities' in "Marecku, podejte mi pero!" movie which also produced the legendary sentence "Jsem si dovolil... par svesticek... ze sve zahradky..." which is also used a lot (giving a present, jokingly saying something like - now I expect some favor). There are many such examples. That's of course only used between native speakers as you usually need to know the context of the sentence in the movie.

I think that posledni kapka is a call back to us saying "pohár trpelivosti pretekl" (the cup of [one's] patience has spilled over). The same way it is the ls straw that breaks the camel's back, it is the last drop that overfills the cup of patience and it spills. Hence the proverbial last drop.

Thanks for funny couple of minutes, Jen and her collaborators! I adore that you all are willing to be playful and not scared to mess it up. Comments have already addressed all things I would have regarding meanings, so only thing to say is - Těším se na další video :).
Bordel is not really used for people as in "someone is a bordel". But it can be used metaphorically to describe an ill-organized event or situation or something disfunctional. Like when for example an institutionis led in a chaotic way, you say "je to bordel". If you want to use it to describe a messy person, you can say "má v tom bordel".
Thank you for posting this. The lady ive been chatting with over there has not been very helpful with the idioms or "sayings" like I have.

Hi there (again), I have a little correction for You. no.4 - "Snídaně na vidličku" - It means, when You wake up later and it´s too late for breakfast and too soon for lunch. So You take something to eat larger than breakfast, but smaller than lunch. Something like scrambled eggs, or something similar when fork is needed. no.3 - "To je jiný kafe" - It means that something is different in the positive sense of the word. It could be taken as: "It´s a higher level". So I have another idiom for You: "Přejdi k jádru pudla..."(CZ), "Go to the core of a poodle..." (EN)
You dont need to wake up late for "Snídani na vidličku". Přesně to znamená co jsi psal po tom, vejce,fazole,slanina atd... , prostě cokoliv co je "na vidličku", takovej rohlík s marmoškou na vidličku není ;).
Cool video, thanks! A few comments, or rather my opinion on a few things I believe you did not get exactly right. I may not be right but that's the way I understand them: "to je jiný kafe" usually means "this new thing is extraordinary compared to the previous thing(s)". Such as if you use normal car for years and then get to ride a Ferrari. With "extraordinary" in any direction - better, worse, different, confusing, etc. "snídaně na vidličku" means fresh cooked breakfast but usually if it means something special. If you get scrambled eggs for breakfast in a hotel, you may call it "snídaně na vidličku" and nobody would object but usually that's just called breakfast. But when your husband prepares cooked breakfast for you as a surprise, perhaps even serves it to your bed, then you will describe it to your friends as "udělal mi snídani na vidličku" in a sense that you got special treatment for breakfast that day. "padají trakaře" means any kind of very unpleasant weather - rain, wind, snow, hailstorm, any combination of these. Historically, "trakaře" was a word for large snowflakes (made of multiple snowflakes stuck together) and was only used for snowing but nobody uses it that way today. Also, "půjdu tam i kdyby trakaře padaly" means "I will go there no matter what" and then it refers to any kind of obstruction that may come in your way, not just weather. "je to bordel" means "state way below my standard", i.e. both physical and metaphorical. If you visit badly organized company, you may describe it "mají tam bordel" even if the place is perfectly clean, just because their organization is bad (and you had very unpleasant experience with it).
"To je bordel" we use to express we watch a mess. Which is not just messy room but also disorder like corruption in politics or non functional services.
"snídaně na vidličku" znamena doslova "jídlo (snídaně) která se musí jíst vidličkou = velké jídlo" , "pije jako duha" pochází z toho, že duha se utváří mezi dvěma zdroji vody (rybnik, řeka atd) a znamená to doslova "vysoká spotřeba" (vody v případě duhy, piva u čechů)

@@nargalda773 Máte zvláštní představy o tom, co je duha. S vodou to sice souvisí, ale pouze s tou, která je obsažena ve vzduchu (kapky), nesouvisí s žádným potokem ani rybníkem. Duha je dokonce ve skutečnosti, přísně vzato, pro každého pozorovatele v jiném místě. Je to totiž z pohledu pozorovatele "geometrické místo bodů", v nichž se paprsky bílého (slunečního) světla lomí a dopadají právě do jeho oka. Proto má i daný tvar - oblouk - ten splňuje (matematicky) příslušné podmínky. Jinému pozorovateli dopadají do oka samozřejmě jiné paprsky, k jejichž lomu došlo v jiných bodech, takže každý vidí vlastně "svou" duhu. Lom nastává při přechodu mezi opticky řidším a hustším prostředím (vzduch a kapky vody). Přitom každá barva má jiný úhel lomu, proto se bílé (složené) světlo rozloží na jednotlivé (jednoduché) barevné složky. Z toho všeho je jasné, že k duze nejde "dojít".
Probably one of the best episodes! Finding my self rewatching again and again. This is humorous, colorful and not least that whimsy girl in green is totally awesome ! :)
U nás se "trakaře" používají zásadně ve spojitosti se sněhem (velká chumelenice, místo vloček padají hrudky sněhu). In where I live, the "wheelbarrows" idiom is mostly used to describe heavy snowing (like so heavy that clumps of snow are falling instead of flakes).
#3 is used in a "Now we're talking" or "Now we're getting somewhere" meaning as well. Like you are offered a really low wage and you express your disappointment, so you get another better offer, you say "To je jiná káva!" #4 is generally a hot breakfast, not necessarily a brunch. Like ham'n'eggs or scrambled eggs. Basically a food you need to use a fork to eat. #7 is not referring to any colors. It just means to drink a lot. #9 "To je bordel!" is pretty much in general something which does not work in a logicla (expected) way. like you ge a notification from the post office, that you were not at home when they tried to deliver you a package, so you go, as instructed, to the post office and they say they do not have it there. This is the time to use it. Bordel is used as stronger word for any mess. Like a teenager's room. #12 Yes, similar to the camel's back, the last drop which caused to overfill a glass.
To je jiny kafe, means more like, if you taste, or just experience something you might not like very much, and then there a change to something you do like! For me it would be for example bitting a coffee flavored chocolate, showing my dislike to others (might not even say anything) and someone would offer a bar of kinder chocolate... I would shine and smile and say "jee Jen dekuju, to je jiny kafe..." And i would chew and shine and smile... :)
"Padaji trakare", at least as I know it, is related to snowfall, not rainfall. "Leje jako z konve" is what we'd say in our mountain region for heavy rain. Funny video though.

"To je bordel" could be used also for non-physical mess, it could be used for example when kids playing loud, basically in unpleasant and disorganised situations or places, no to the people directly. Also i thing it was quite unfortunate, to try translate "vetřít" as "to rub", it is completely different meaning in this time. "Vetřít" could have this meaning like "vetřít mast" - "to rub ointment", but with "se" meaning is more like "to intrude". Of course I understand, that wouldn't be to much funny.
"To je jiné kafe" means "it is whole new level" "Snídaně na vidličku" is something like english breakfast, or brunch. Some food you eat from plate with a fork. It is not an idiom :) "Je tu bordel" doesnt exatly means just brothel :) bordel means a mess (and also brothel). You can not say "bordel" about a person.
"Pít jako duha" nemusí být zdaleka jen o alkoholu nebo o rozmanitosti nápojů. Je to i o dehydratovaném člověku, který se konečně dostane k pitné vodě a najednou jí vypije velké množství.
Bordel can be used metaphorically but not not to describe a person. It's when either confusion, miscommunication or incompetence causes anything from a minor inconvenience to a mass death toll. A shop's website says they're open till seven, you get there at six, and they're already closed? "No to je bordel, tyvole!" There's a plane crash but no firefighters or paramedics can get there because they're changing the oil in every vehicle at once? "No to je bordel, tyvole!" It's very versatile, you see.
"Snídaně na vidličku" is a direct translation from Viennese German "Gabelfrühstuck". It dates back to Austro-Hungarian times (pre-1918) and means a hot breakfast, ie, very early in the morning you might have a quick bite and then mid-morning you would have the full works, sausages or a goulash or something. Brunch nowadays would be just about it.
"Poslední kapka - The last drop" is very connected to another czech idiom "pohár přetekl - The cup has overflowed", what actually means "It's enough!". Like you have a cup of patience and because of the last drop of something what is happening or sb. is doing and you can't stand it, it has overflowed.
Hi Jen, the Old Quibbler at your service! This time it was really funny - but thought provoking too! ;) So just briefly: "Jiné kafe" - has two meanings: "It was far tougher then expected", or "It is something totally different form what I have thought it would be" - depends on context. It can also express contentment. "Snídaně na vidličku" - I would not call it an idiom - it is rather idiomatic name for food type, but you are right - it is hot breakfest. Hot enough for not to touch it by bare hands. "Vetřít se někam" - does not neccesarily mean to ruin party, but rather just to sneek in somewhere uninvited (anywhere - not only party). But girls made pretty funny guesses - i realy liked it! :D "Dámská jízda in 22 tram" would be really something I would prefer to watch from safe distance...! :D "Pít jako duha" - they say that in a past people thought that rainbow draws water from water sources like lakes or ponds - but theory about drinking all colours of alcohol sounds far more amusing to me! :D "Padají trakaře" - has one even more expressive version: "Venku padají ho*na s háčkama." ("Outside rain sh*ts with hooks!")... My apology for nasty vocabulary...! ;) "Je to bordel" - it means: "It is a mess." - literally as physical disorder in house, warehouse, papers, system etc. - but also in metaphysical way like: "Má bordel v hlavě." ("His mind is real mess."). But it also means: "It is a ruckus!" - for noisy places like factories or inside of loud machines like tanks or big trucks. It never relates to person - only to place or condition of certain place (Mind is also place for a mess...) - but if you want to say that someone is messy you call him/her "bordelář/-ka". Say hi for me to poor Honza...! :D "Chodit kolem horké kaše." - just as you say: "Beat around the bush", but Czech idiom refers to something you avoid for some time 'cos it is too hot yet (even explosive) and you want to wait some time for the right moment - literally you wait till it cools down enough to touch it. ;) "Poslední kapka" - is abbreviation of saying: "Poslední kapka, která kápne do džbánu až přeteče." ("Just last drop that falls into a jug to overflow.") - same like the one with camel - just less violent. ;) I hope it helps a little bit - and keep up the good work! Can not wait for your next video! :D Bye Jen!
Amazing content! Vetřít se - often used as Vetřít se do přízně (někomu) - being a gold-digger, say just nice things to other person to get his(her) attention, do favors for free, but in the end expect some benefit from this behavior (free party tickets, discounts etc. or just be with popular person to shine on his/her side as benefit). But it´s also used as Vetřít se na párty. Sneak into party. Pije jako duha - ages ago people thought, that sky is drinking water from the lakes through rainbow and then returns the water as rain. We use this sentence, when somebody drinks too fast or a lot. More usual context is drinking a lot. Padají trakaře - never heard it like this. I know for example: Posekám zahradu, i kdyby trakaře padaly. It´s like "no matter what" meaning too. It can be related to weather (in most) cases or not. To je bordel - usually used for three things, one is material, second is description of situation, third is pointing at brothel :D. 1) Lot of toys, food etc. on the ground. Parent is angry: Co je to tady za bordel?/To je ale bordel, ukliďte to. 2)The second meaning is used for chaotic situations, for example politics, where you want to be more expressive than just with "chaos". Poslední kapka - missing whole sentence. To byla/je/bude poslední kapka. Explanation is absolutelly correct :)

Exactly - "jiný kafe" means something better. Like if you talk about something crap and you trying to compare it with something real good. So the better is "jiný kafe".
@@karelzidek5102 We use "plantat hrušky s jabkama" :-D - most of the time someone talks some nonsense about something ...
"je to jiný kafe" could be easily translated to english, with respect to daily usage, like "Oh yes, that is much better (huge difference)" BUT it can be used in negative context as well, like "A new teacher, you will see, to je jiné kafe" - meaning the new teacher is really harsh or teaches completely different (not good or bad, just different) ... and we are getting back - to je jiný kafe means "it is something really different" like "sto a jedna" :-D
Mako has amazing pronunciation and very good guesses.
"To je jiné kafé" se používá v jiném významu. Není to čistě o tom, že je něco jiného, ale je to spíše vyjádření kladného ohodnocení v porovnání s předchozí horší situací/věcí (něco jako "to předchozí bylo nanic, ale tohle je fakt super"). Důležitý je ten prvek porovnání a spokojenosti se současnou variantou. Řekl bych, že to má blízko k "this is way better then previous one". Mimochodem, podobný význam má i české sousloví "To si dám líbit".
Tak to si dam taky libit :)
Máte pravdu, že nejčastěji se to používá v tom smyslu, že něco bylo špatný a teď je to dobré nebo o poznání lepší. Ale dá se to použit i tak, že je to prostě jiné a nemusí tam být zlepšení. Ale je to opravdu velice málo.
I think that English speakers might use "Now we're cooking with fire." At least that's the idiom I've seen and heard used in a similar situation.
I could be also translated as "Now we're talking!"

Taky jsem to videla poprve...
Divné, to jste nikdy nepřipravili svému protějšku báječnou snídani do postele s příborem? To je to na vidličku ...
Já znám jenom oběd na lžičku - většinou v práci, když ani není čas si vzít celý příbor. Většinou je to otázka pětiminutového jídla
To jsem v životě neslyšel, to se v normální češtině nepoužívá, ale když jsem hledal, dočetl jsem se, že to je zřejmě kalk německého idiomu "Gabelfrühstück". Takže se to asi používá jen mezi germanofilními či austrofilními hogo fogo hipstry.

Mako je skvělá :D a líbí se mi, s jakým gustem a důrazem vyslovovala slovo "bordel" :D
Na ni by se dalo krásně demonstrovat deduktivní myšlení.
We don't say "bordel" about a person like - "Ona je bordel" - she is a mess. But you can say "Ona je bordelářka" - meaning that she makes a lot of mess - not cleaning her room, she's not organized etc. Or you say it about your pets - "Moje kočka je hrozný bordelář" - because cats spread out litter everywhere, knock off things etc. But you don't say it about someone's looks. She's a mess could be "vypadá hrozně" - when someone's having a bad day, the person is sick, no time to make yourself beautiful in the morning and therefore they look terrible.... or "bože, ta má dneska ránu" - oh god, she looks terrible today (bad choice of dress, makeup, bad haircut) - this saying might be mean in some situations, but you can say it to your friend when he's wearing a funny costume for example.
You can also use "bordel" to describe a messy state of affairs. For example, the current czech government.
What about „mám v tom bordel“... means „I am confused“ 😉
Bordel is harsher than "mess". It changes with context, but on average it matches the intensity of "garbage" when used negatively.
I always understood the phrase " She is a mess" on a mental health level, not physical looks level. Something like she has had a breakdown, she is a mess". I might be wrong though
I'd say 'mess' should be the primary translation for 'bordel'. It's used often, especially with kids and we don't usually picture a brothel :D

Poslední kapka - last drop - is also a shortened version of a whole idea, like the "last straw" that breaks camel's neck. Here you have the last drop that falls in a chalice, and it overflows.
Yes, we say 'pohár trpělivosti přetekl' = 'Cup of patience overflowed'.
I think that a good translation of “vetřít se” would be “to sneak in”
“To je jiné kafe” is used as a reaction to situation improvement and you usually express it with excitement....English version would be something like “Now we’re talking...!”, or “That’s what I’m talking about...”

Hi Jen, a great vlog! "Now you are talking" is probably 'jiny kafe.' Or "that's the ticket!" also works. Typically it means a vast improvement from the past. "Vetrelec" means an intruder, so 'vetrit se' is to get somewhere you don't belong. In that sense, your friends' guesses were incorrect, but I like the way they think!
Apples and oranges is like "jeden o voze, druhej o koze"
One talks about Cart/trolley, second/ other one about goat...
Tam jde hlavně o tu slovní hříčku dvou zvukově podobných slov znamenajících něco naprosto jiného, podobně jako u hodinek a holínek. Na podobné bázi je založen i ten text, že "Člověk by neměl používat cizí termity, když je nezná suterénně nebo není v dobré konvici, protože je zde veliké rizoto, že to skončí fiatem. Každý se tváří jako suvenýr, ale vrátí se mu to jako buzerant."
Toto bych s Apples and oranges nespojoval. To je spíše "Jablka a hrušky".
There's actually one more thing that may be interesting - not sure if that's common in other languages. Czechs like to use short citations of popular czech movies as idioms. E.g. in utter disgust you can say "Velebnosti, du blejt!" (reference to Slunce, seno, erotika). Or if someone's (unsuccessfully) looking for something and you want to banter him/her you can say "Nasli moji radcove, nasli?" (reference to Pysna princezna). Or if someone's too ambitious but not skillful you call him "Hujer" who was a hyperbolized character of such 'qualities' in "Marecku, podejte mi pero!" movie which also produced the legendary sentence "Jsem si dovolil... par svesticek... ze sve zahradky..." which is also used a lot (giving a present, jokingly saying something like - now I expect some favor). There are many such examples. That's of course only used between native speakers as you usually need to know the context of the sentence in the movie.

"Snídaně na vidličku" znamená přesně to, co to popisuje. Tedy takovou snídani, co se jí vidličkou. Omeleta, párky apod.
Bordel is not really used for people as in "someone is a bordel". But it can be used metaphorically to describe an ill-organized event or situation or something disfunctional. Like when for example an institutionis led in a chaotic way, you say "je to bordel". If you want to use it to describe a messy person, you can say "má v tom bordel".

Hi there (again), I have a little correction for You.
no.4 - "Snídaně na vidličku" - It means, when You wake up later and it´s too late for breakfast and too soon for lunch. So You take something to eat larger than breakfast, but smaller than lunch. Something like scrambled eggs, or something similar when fork is needed.
no.3 - "To je jiný kafe" - It means that something is different in the positive sense of the word. It could be taken as: "It´s a higher level".
So I have another idiom for You: "Přejdi k jádru pudla..."(CZ), "Go to the core of a poodle..." (EN)
You dont need to wake up late for "Snídani na vidličku". Přesně to znamená co jsi psal po tom, vejce,fazole,slanina atd... , prostě cokoliv co je "na vidličku", takovej rohlík s marmoškou na vidličku není ;).
Ještě zjistit 'kde je zakopaný pes' :)
Cool video, thanks!
A few comments, or rather my opinion on a few things I believe you did not get exactly right. I may not be right but that's the way I understand them:
"to je jiný kafe" usually means "this new thing is extraordinary compared to the previous thing(s)". Such as if you use normal car for years and then get to ride a Ferrari. With "extraordinary" in any direction - better, worse, different, confusing, etc.
"snídaně na vidličku" means fresh cooked breakfast but usually if it means something special. If you get scrambled eggs for breakfast in a hotel, you may call it "snídaně na vidličku" and nobody would object but usually that's just called breakfast. But when your husband prepares cooked breakfast for you as a surprise, perhaps even serves it to your bed, then you will describe it to your friends as "udělal mi snídani na vidličku" in a sense that you got special treatment for breakfast that day.
"padají trakaře" means any kind of very unpleasant weather - rain, wind, snow, hailstorm, any combination of these. Historically, "trakaře" was a word for large snowflakes (made of multiple snowflakes stuck together) and was only used for snowing but nobody uses it that way today. Also, "půjdu tam i kdyby trakaře padaly" means "I will go there no matter what" and then it refers to any kind of obstruction that may come in your way, not just weather.
"je to bordel" means "state way below my standard", i.e. both physical and metaphorical. If you visit badly organized company, you may describe it "mají tam bordel" even if the place is perfectly clean, just because their organization is bad (and you had very unpleasant experience with it).
you´re missing ´it is one´(to je jedno), or ´don´t be a swan´ (nebuť labuť) :D:D:D:D:D
grammarnazi vsuvka: nebuď se píše s "ď"
Proper czenglish idiom for "Nebuď labuť" is "Don't wake up a swan".
“Pije jako duha” we are using when we want say that someone having problem with alcohol :D
"To je bordel" we use to express we watch a mess. Which is not just messy room but also disorder like corruption in politics or non functional services.

😃 úžasný pohled na svět, děkuji dámy za váš smysl pro humor a pohled z jiného úhlu.
Jako vždy perfektní video.
Děkuji Jane :)
"snídaně na vidličku" znamena doslova "jídlo (snídaně) která se musí jíst vidličkou = velké jídlo" , "pije jako duha" pochází z toho, že duha se utváří mezi dvěma zdroji vody (rybnik, řeka atd) a znamená to doslova "vysoká spotřeba" (vody v případě duhy, piva u čechů)
duha se neutváří mezi dvěma zdroji vody, ale odrazem slunečních paprsků v kapkách vody
@@petrmachcz zacatek a konec oblouku je ve vodě, a driv se myslelo, ze ta duha tu vodu pije (nasává), angličani maj na konci duhy trpaslika se zlatem, proto to neznaj
@@nargalda773 Je mi líto, ale ne, začátek ani konec duhy není ve vodě. Vzniká odrazem slunečních paprsků v kapkách vody. Klidně i na pouští, když tam bude pršet.
@@nargalda773 Máte zvláštní představy o tom, co je duha. S vodou to sice souvisí, ale pouze s tou, která je obsažena ve vzduchu (kapky), nesouvisí s žádným potokem ani rybníkem. Duha je dokonce ve skutečnosti, přísně vzato, pro každého pozorovatele v jiném místě. Je to totiž z pohledu pozorovatele "geometrické místo bodů", v nichž se paprsky bílého (slunečního) světla lomí a dopadají právě do jeho oka. Proto má i daný tvar - oblouk - ten splňuje (matematicky) příslušné podmínky. Jinému pozorovateli dopadají do oka samozřejmě jiné paprsky, k jejichž lomu došlo v jiných bodech, takže každý vidí vlastně "svou" duhu. Lom nastává při přechodu mezi opticky řidším a hustším prostředím (vzduch a kapky vody). Přitom každá barva má jiný úhel lomu, proto se bílé (složené) světlo rozloží na jednotlivé (jednoduché) barevné složky.
Z toho všeho je jasné, že k duze nejde "dojít".
@@standabernatik007 ja VÍM jak funguje duha, ale o tom se tady NIKDO nebaví..
Probably one of the best episodes! Finding my self rewatching again and again. This is humorous, colorful and not least that whimsy girl in green is totally awesome ! :)
Já často také říkám "mám bordel v hlavě", takže bordel se podle mě dá využít v hodně kontextech, jinak skvělé video jako vždy.
U nás se "trakaře" používají zásadně ve spojitosti se sněhem (velká chumelenice, místo vloček padají hrudky sněhu).
In where I live, the "wheelbarrows" idiom is mostly used to describe heavy snowing (like so heavy that clumps of snow are falling instead of flakes).
No nečekal jsem, že se od Američanky naučím nový český idiom, ale "snídaně na vidličku" jsem fakt v životě neslyšel. :)
Řekl bych, že každé video od této dámy je poučné i pro nás. :) Někdy se trefí, někdy ale věci nevykládá úplně nejlíp.
#3 is used in a "Now we're talking" or "Now we're getting somewhere" meaning as well. Like you are offered a really low wage and you express your disappointment, so you get another better offer, you say "To je jiná káva!"
#4 is generally a hot breakfast, not necessarily a brunch. Like ham'n'eggs or scrambled eggs. Basically a food you need to use a fork to eat.
#7 is not referring to any colors. It just means to drink a lot.
#9 "To je bordel!" is pretty much in general something which does not work in a logicla (expected) way. like you ge a notification from the post office, that you were not at home when they tried to deliver you a package, so you go, as instructed, to the post office and they say they do not have it there. This is the time to use it. Bordel is used as stronger word for any mess. Like a teenager's room.
#12 Yes, similar to the camel's back, the last drop which caused to overfill a glass.
To je jiny kafe, means more like, if you taste, or just experience something you might not like very much, and then there a change to something you do like!
For me it would be for example bitting a coffee flavored chocolate, showing my dislike to others (might not even say anything) and someone would offer a bar of kinder chocolate... I would shine and smile and say "jee Jen dekuju, to je jiny kafe..." And i would chew and shine and smile... :)
"Padaji trakare", at least as I know it, is related to snowfall, not rainfall. "Leje jako z konve" is what we'd say in our mountain region for heavy rain. Funny video though.
"To je bordel" could be used also for non-physical mess, it could be used for example when kids playing loud, basically in unpleasant and disorganised situations or places, no to the people directly. Also i thing it was quite unfortunate, to try translate "vetřít" as "to rub", it is completely different meaning in this time. "Vetřít" could have this meaning like "vetřít mast" - "to rub ointment", but with "se" meaning is more like "to intrude". Of course I understand, that wouldn't be to much funny.
Your friend in grey sweater has an amazing Czech pronunciation! She should really learn to speak Czech :D
"To je jiné kafe" means "it is whole new level"
"Snídaně na vidličku" is something like english breakfast, or brunch. Some food you eat from plate with a fork. It is not an idiom :)
"Je tu bordel" doesnt exatly means just brothel :) bordel means a mess (and also brothel). You can not say "bordel" about a person.
It’s been a real treat. Funny, entertaining, kind and very clever. THX !
"Pít jako duha" nemusí být zdaleka jen o alkoholu nebo o rozmanitosti nápojů. Je to i o dehydratovaném člověku, který se konečně dostane k pitné vodě a najednou jí vypije velké množství.
Ci o dehydratovane prirode, rostline ap.
Bodejď, jináč by "chlastal jako duha"😂
So basically, drinking like there was no tomorrow
Bordel can be used metaphorically but not not to describe a person. It's when either confusion, miscommunication or incompetence causes anything from a minor inconvenience to a mass death toll. A shop's website says they're open till seven, you get there at six, and they're already closed? "No to je bordel, tyvole!" There's a plane crash but no firefighters or paramedics can get there because they're changing the oil in every vehicle at once? "No to je bordel, tyvole!" It's very versatile, you see.
You forgot to mention the most important Czech idiom: "Jít na jedno" :-D
Nebo na dvě. První a poslední.
@@janbazant3428 Tři české lži:
1) Jdeme na jedno
2) Tak ještě jedno a už fakt jdem dom
3) Už nikdy nebudu pít ;-)
It's the most common Czech lie! ;-)
Už jsi opravdu jedna z nás. Jak člověk pochopí tohle, pochopí i Českou mentalitu = "you're one of us" ;)
Hodinky a holinky (oboji se natahuji)
"Snídaně na vidličku" is a direct translation from Viennese German "Gabelfrühstuck". It dates back to Austro-Hungarian times (pre-1918) and means a hot breakfast, ie, very early in the morning you might have a quick bite and then mid-morning you would have the full works, sausages or a goulash or something. Brunch nowadays would be just about it.
"To je jiný kafe" znamená trochu něco jiného. Znamená to, že něco je lepší, větší, krásnější prostě kvalitativně lepší, než to, co bylo předtím.
"Poslední kapka - The last drop" is very connected to another czech idiom "pohár přetekl - The cup has overflowed", what actually means "It's enough!". Like you have a cup of patience and because of the last drop of something what is happening or sb. is doing and you can't stand it, it has overflowed.
Tak to byla poslení kapka :)
Hi Jen, the Old Quibbler at your service! This time it was really funny - but thought provoking too! ;) So just briefly:
"Jiné kafe" - has two meanings: "It was far tougher then expected", or "It is something totally different form what I have thought it would be" - depends on context. It can also express contentment.
"Snídaně na vidličku" - I would not call it an idiom - it is rather idiomatic name for food type, but you are right - it is hot breakfest. Hot enough for not to touch it by bare hands.
"Vetřít se někam" - does not neccesarily mean to ruin party, but rather just to sneek in somewhere uninvited (anywhere - not only party). But girls made pretty funny guesses - i realy liked it! :D
"Dámská jízda in 22 tram" would be really something I would prefer to watch from safe distance...! :D
"Pít jako duha" - they say that in a past people thought that rainbow draws water from water sources like lakes or ponds - but theory about drinking all colours of alcohol sounds far more amusing to me! :D
"Padají trakaře" - has one even more expressive version: "Venku padají ho*na s háčkama." ("Outside rain sh*ts with hooks!")... My apology for nasty vocabulary...! ;)
"Je to bordel" - it means: "It is a mess." - literally as physical disorder in house, warehouse, papers, system etc. - but also in metaphysical way like: "Má bordel v hlavě." ("His mind is real mess."). But it also means: "It is a ruckus!" - for noisy places like factories or inside of loud machines like tanks or big trucks. It never relates to person - only to place or condition of certain place (Mind is also place for a mess...) - but if you want to say that someone is messy you call him/her "bordelář/-ka". Say hi for me to poor Honza...! :D
"Chodit kolem horké kaše." - just as you say: "Beat around the bush", but Czech idiom refers to something you avoid for some time 'cos it is too hot yet (even explosive) and you want to wait some time for the right moment - literally you wait till it cools down enough to touch it. ;)
"Poslední kapka" - is abbreviation of saying: "Poslední kapka, která kápne do džbánu až přeteče." ("Just last drop that falls into a jug to overflow.") - same like the one with camel - just less violent. ;)
I hope it helps a little bit - and keep up the good work! Can not wait for your next video! :D Bye Jen!
Nicely put.
Mako is smaaart... Snidani na vidlicku jsem nikdy neslysel. Where did you get it???
Amazing content!
Vetřít se - often used as Vetřít se do přízně (někomu) - being a gold-digger, say just nice things to other person to get his(her) attention, do favors for free, but in the end expect some benefit from this behavior (free party tickets, discounts etc. or just be with popular person to shine on his/her side as benefit). But it´s also used as Vetřít se na párty. Sneak into party.
Pije jako duha - ages ago people thought, that sky is drinking water from the lakes through rainbow and then returns the water as rain. We use this sentence, when somebody drinks too fast or a lot. More usual context is drinking a lot.
Padají trakaře - never heard it like this. I know for example: Posekám zahradu, i kdyby trakaře padaly. It´s like "no matter what" meaning too. It can be related to weather (in most) cases or not.
To je bordel - usually used for three things, one is material, second is description of situation, third is pointing at brothel :D. 1) Lot of toys, food etc. on the ground. Parent is angry: Co je to tady za bordel?/To je ale bordel, ukliďte to. 2)The second meaning is used for chaotic situations, for example politics, where you want to be more expressive than just with "chaos".
Poslední kapka - missing whole sentence. To byla/je/bude poslední kapka. Explanation is absolutelly correct :)
No holky s Vámi je teda sranda. Tohle téma je nekonečné a čeština musí být asi fakt těžká "džizda" (jízda).
a proto svatou válku za ČEŠTINU ! Trošku nám upadá, nejen gramatyyyyka...
jizzda. :D Sorry, musela jsem.
jo jo, džízda mě dostala :-)
výslovnost "džizda" je prekérní :-)))
Když se objevila Mako, musel jsem to přetočit a pustit si co vlastně říká. Její vzhled silně odvrátil mou pozornost...
Krásná žena.
A chytrá. jedno dvě rčení jsem sám nikdy neslyšel 😅
