Questions & Answers about Řešení je správné.
How do I pronounce Řešení je správné?
Roughly: RZHE-she-nee yeh SPRAAV-nay.
A few important details:
- Ř is a special Czech sound with no exact English equivalent. A good learner approximation is something between r and zh (the s in measure).
- š sounds like English sh.
- j in Czech sounds like English y, so je is pronounced yeh.
- é and í are long vowels.
- Czech stress is usually on the first syllable of the word:
- ŘEšení
- správné
So even though í and é are long, the stress still stays at the beginning.
What is řešení grammatically?
Řešení is a noun, and in this sentence it means solution.
More specifically, it is a verbal noun related to the verb řešit, meaning to solve or to deal with. So řešení is literally something like solving / solution, depending on context.
In this sentence, it functions as the subject:
- Řešení = the solution
- je správné = is correct
Why is there je in the sentence?
Je is the 3rd person singular present tense of být (to be), so it means is.
So:
- Řešení = solution
- je = is
- správné = correct
Unlike in some languages, Czech normally does use the present tense of to be in sentences like this.
Why is it správné and not správný or správná?
Because správné has to agree with řešení.
In Czech, adjectives agree with the noun in:
- gender
- number
- case
Řešení is neuter singular nominative, so the adjective must also be neuter singular nominative:
- masculine: správný
- feminine: správná
- neuter: správné
That is why the sentence is:
Řešení je správné.
What gender is řešení?
Is řešení singular or plural here?
Here it is singular.
A learner might wonder because some Czech noun forms look the same in singular and plural. In fact, řešení can have the same form in both nominative singular and nominative plural.
What tells you it is singular here is the verb:
- je = is (singular)
If it were plural, you would expect:
- Řešení jsou správná. = The solutions are correct.
Can I leave out je?
Can the word order change?
Yes, Czech word order is fairly flexible, but the neutral, most straightforward order here is:
Řešení je správné.
Other word orders are possible for emphasis or contrast, for example:
- Správné je řešení.
- Správné řešení to je.
These sound more marked or stylistic. For a basic neutral statement, Řešení je správné is the best choice.
Does Czech have articles here, like the or a?
No. Czech does not have articles like English a or the.
So řešení can mean:
- a solution
- the solution
Which one is intended depends on context.
In this sentence, English often translates it as The solution is correct or A solution is correct, depending on the situation.
Do the accents and special letters matter in this sentence?
Yes, very much.
In Řešení je správné, the diacritics are part of correct spelling and pronunciation:
- Ř is different from R
- š is different from s
- í and é show long vowels
So you should write:
- Řešení je správné.
not:
- Reseni je spravne.
People may still understand the version without diacritics in informal typing, but it is not proper standard spelling.
