Ringing church bells is amazing. My grandfather used to ring church bells and I would go with him as a kid. When stopping the bell he would be pulled up in the tower of the church. It was awesome.
When I saw the number 9801, I recognized it as a perfect square. 99 x 99 = 9801 What? There's no lesson at the end to teach us how to say the word, "Bell" in Czech or something like it? (Granted, I still wish the lesson was at the start, and that the word would get used a few times during the video, so we would actually learn it from the reinforced usage. I never remember the words because they are at the end and not used.)
Of course, reinforcing the language lesson throughout the video could require him to pick out the word before filming the overall video, whereas he can pick a word much later the way it's done now. But I do think it would work better to present it earlier, use the word in the video a few times, followed by the English word for it, and many of us would pick up a few words in a few weeks.
The only issue here is that the basic noun is ZVON, but, because of Czech grammar, Janek would be using tons of different forms of the word, which would only confuse everyone.
@@Beckford4000 True, it's also used as a verb, because the noun is the root meaning of the word ring, which is zvonit, so the word ring practically doesn't exist in Czech. You can make a bell bell (=ring a bell, rozezvonit zvon), bell on a bell (=ring a bell, zvonit na zvon) or even say the phone's ringing/belling (telefon zvoní). Also different variants of the word bell may be confusing, because if you say zvon, you always mean these big(ish) cast iron bells, but for a doorbell or an elevator bell you say zvonek (little bell). And for these little miniatures that you ring during Christmas (or whenever else) you use zvoneček ("the littlest bell"). I kind of pity foreigners who are trying to learn Czech, I personally would give up right away. Legend has it that Czech is the second most difficult language to learn, right after Chinese. :D
I've been ringing bells for 15 years, it's an amazing feeling. Our 2 bells are much smaller, 1000kg and 1600kg, but that's still really big, they survived the war - the smaller is from 1550, the bigger 1603 I think. Then there's the bell Zikmund in the St. Vitus cathedral, which weighs over 16 tons and it has the most wonderful sound.
Because of you guys, I am visiting Prague in December, and I wanted to ask if you could create an updated video of new pubs and bars that I absolutely must see in Prague.
Pre covid, I had a trip to Prague planned and that is why I started watching your videos still haven't made it yet. But while you now have a video memorializing bells, I've not seen a video about Jewish Prague or the impact of the Holocaust on Prague. If you get a chance, I'd be interested.
Love it! ❤ I wish I would have known about the Prague lenses when I was last there a couple of years ago. Sounds like I need to go back and ring the bell!
4:24 "Touch the bell to feel it. Let it 'recharge' you" If that word spreads, I guess tourists will naturally start polishing that bell (like they do with part of the statue of St. John Nepomuk on the Charles Bridge) 😛
So this is Untitled Goose Game in real life? Just kidding, during the war we had similar cases in Poland, and people hid the bells by burying them to avoid the melting.
Hi Janek, hi Honza, hope you are well, I've been watching your videos everyday for the last month or two because next year on the summer term I'm going to study in Prague I wanted to know if you could recommend me where to live in the city if I'm going to study at VSE, the university offers me acomodation at Praha 3, Praha 7 and Praha-Kunratice. Love your videos, Greetings from Chile
@@frantisekbroz thanks!! Given those descriptions I would love to stay in Kunitrace, but unfortunately is way further to the university than the other 2 districts
Hello, I leave this comment as an idea for a video. This Sunday my plane leaves for Prague and what is most difficult for me is choosing what type of clothes to wear, since I do not know exactly the climate of the country and I am personally used to the heat of Spain. So if you could talk about the different climates, surely many people would appreciate it. Otherwise, the video is excellent as always and your channel helped me in preparing for this trip so thank you very much and keep it up.
Hi, it's warm here. 20 to 35 degrees Celsius. Since it's summer. But, it can happen that it will be cloudy and rainy during the day. It can happen that storms come and Prague is screwed. Rivers overflow their banks and you have to drive boats. So I recommend taking shorts, a raincoat and a life ring.
Hey. Love your videos. Could i ask a question you might be able to do a video about. On pedestrian walkings over the street the light turn really fast. Can you still cross if it's red after you started to walk? And on were you have the white lines to walk but no light who has the right of way? Cars or people ?
Hello, When you step in street when there is Green, you can still finish even if there is red. Lights deciding when you can enter crosswalk, so you dont need to run ;). Pedestrian have right of way but he must not endanger car ( car need to have enough time to safly stop) BUT be aware of Trams. Trams have right over peaople.
Jedná se o počet zabavených zvonů v Protektorátu Čechy a Morava. Jinak v Říši (včetně českého poraničí alias Sudet) bylo zrekvírováno cca 44tis. zvonů a na obsazených územích cca. 33tis. zvonů.

What an amazing memory to have from your childhood. ❤
@@NoNameNomad.... That is certainly true!🙏🏻
I showed my dad the feature and he’s smiling on both cheeks! Thanks Janek for the video it is such an awesome Project!
Greetings from Innsbruck 🔔🔥
Innsbruck is such a special place.
And the czech word at the end is bell - zvon, bell - zvon
The pronunciation is pretty straightforward: Zvaughn. The only difference is that instead of long "augh" part you say it in short way
Thank you.

That end is fantastic, with all that vibration
Can't wait to visit Prague on Sunday 🎉 hopefully I we get a chance to ring the Bell.

I'm ringing bells in 12th century church - bells are also from 16th century - 800kg and 200kg (I still consider 800kg as "big bell").
im planning a visit to Czech Republic just to ring this bell for a video for my channel
Beautiful project with a great spirit! Thanks for sharing and greetings from Berlin!
beautifull bell and the sound is incredible.

Short video, amazing job.
Congratulations, loved the reason why it was made.
it is amazing i never knew u could come and ring it i know where im planning a holiday
Thumbs up to the bell makers !! Good job .
No wayyyyyy I heard it, that's how I found this video
Your videos just get better and better and now some episodes look like some of the hollywood tv shows.
Love it! ❤
I wish I would have known about the Prague lenses when I was last there a couple of years ago.
Sounds like I need to go back and ring the bell!
'you can ring my bell' good song 🙂
Otherwise, great Video. Big fan of you two guys. Keep it up!!!

That's really cool. Such a neat experience, and such an interesting story.
That is the Zvon 9801 Casted by Grassmayr bell foundry in Innsbruck,Austria.
So this is Untitled Goose Game in real life?
Just kidding, during the war we had similar cases in Poland, and people hid the bells by burying them to avoid the melting.
I was expecting the Sen fortress opening cutscene when it rang TBH
What a great story again
The first bell of awakening was rung
You forgot to tell Czech word at the end! I was looking for learning something new 😃

@@frioja8127 this Is why Kunratice is village tho
@@frantisekbroz good point 😅
it's a very big bell 🙀
I think that I donated for that bell.
Ah, just the other week I was sat at one of the bars right in front of this bell! Looked very interesting!
Finally a positive episode!
Enough of your negative comparisons....
how beautiful video!!! this video format is spectacular!!! 🤩👏🙌💖✨
Thanks for sharing this. What a beautiful way to remember such a horrible part of history.
to go underneath is insane.
The view of the trains in the background is amazing. Can anyone confirm if that’s the Prague metro or what.
Just one of many tram routes
Amazing.

@@Kalkincz Thank you so much!
Did Honza get a chance to ring it too?
The person in the bell is gonna go deaf!
Basically the bell sound in this video always had background music or other noise behind, that sux... 👎
Where can I see this, anyone know it's current location. I'm currently in Prague and would like to visit.
What happened to our Word at the end?
I heard they want to locate the bell to another place on an island in Prague some time, is this right?
Hey, where’s my Czech word at the end of the video? 😉
yeah more bridge or sea bridge sir
How are the ears of the person in the bell? 😮 Can they hear anything still?
Is there an elevator to get to the Bell?
It's on ground level, on a raft on the river.
@@MarvinCZ That doesn't answer his question. Is there an elevator?
@@schwuzi If that doesn't answer the question, than he (or you) is beyond help.
@@MarvinCZ yes or no?
@@schwuzi Why would there be an elevator on the flat barge? *How* would there be an elevator on the flat barge? Of course there isn't an elevator.
核磁共振
Czy liczba 9801 dotyczy tylko dzwonów w Czechach czy wszystkich w Europie, które spotkał ten sam los?
Jedná se o počet zabavených zvonů v Protektorátu Čechy a Morava. Jinak v Říši (včetně českého poraničí alias Sudet) bylo zrekvírováno cca 44tis. zvonů a na obsazených územích cca. 33tis. zvonů.
cool
Hey! No Czech word to end the video? :-(
Čurak. A very harsh slur. Not used on family members. And in the clubs.
How many years will it stand, before it will turn back in cannons?
哎哎哎！！！！！！哎哎哎！！！！！！
My argentinian grandpa, who used to be a train conductor, once told me similar story.
👍👍🍰🕳️
...The Czech word for bell is: zvonek 😁
Almost 😀. It is ZVON.
Zvonek applies to the little one, like on the bicycle or the doorbell 😉.
@@zuzanadoskocilova111 thanks for the correction... I was just a little bit sad that the Czech word was left out this time 🙂
Chuchle ma zvonek!
Literally still commenting this, go away.....
Fun fact: Czech version of this video is not in English. :)
Why do that to your ears. I hate bells, good riddance.
If you hate bells, then I guess you also hate churches and bell towers?. There are reasons why bells exists.
Take off work. Spend thousands on airfare and hotels. Avoid all scams within the city. And I get to ring a bell for my troubles. Wow. What a place.
Because all the scams happening within the city, they should rename the city "podvod" or "podvodník"
