Její tvář je červená.

Její is the Czech possessive pronoun meaning her.

In Její tvář je červená, it modifies tvář (face) and means her face.

A useful thing to know is that Czech possessive words often agree with the noun being possessed, not with the owner in the same way English works. Here:

• tvář is feminine singular
• so the possessive form is její

In this sentence, její is in the nominative feminine singular form to match tvář.

Yes. Tvář is the subject of the sentence.

The sentence structure is:

• Její tvář = her face → subject
• je = is
• červená = red

Because tvář is the subject, it is in the nominative case.

A helpful vocabulary note: tvář is a feminine noun in Czech.

Because the adjective must agree with the noun it describes.

Here, červená describes tvář, and tvář is:

• feminine
• singular
• nominative

So the adjective also takes the feminine singular nominative form:

• masculine: červený
• feminine: červená
• neuter: červené

This agreement happens even though červená comes after je. In Czech, predicate adjectives still agree with the subject.

In standard Czech, you normally must include the present-tense form of být (to be) in a sentence like this.

So:

• Její tvář je červená. = correct
• Její tvář červená. = not standard Czech

Je is the 3rd person singular present form of být, so it means is.

The basic neutral order here is:

• Její tvář je červená.

That is the most natural word order for a simple statement.

But Czech word order is more flexible than English, and other orders are possible for emphasis or style, for example:

• Červená je její tvář.
• Je červená její tvář.

These are less neutral and would usually sound literary, contrastive, or context-dependent.

So for learners, the safest default is:

• subject + je + adjective

Because Czech does not have articles like English a/an/the.

So tvář can mean:

• a face
• the face
• simply face

The exact meaning depends on context.

In Její tvář je červená, English naturally uses her face, but Czech does this without any article.

A simple learner-friendly pronunciation guide would be:

• její ≈ yeh-YEE
• tvář ≈ tvaarzh
• je ≈ ye
• červená ≈ CHER-veh-naa

A few important sound notes:

• j in Czech is pronounced like English y in yes
• č sounds like ch in church
• ř is a special Czech sound with no exact English equivalent; learners often approximate it at first
• á is a long vowel, so it is held a bit longer than a

So the whole sentence sounds roughly like:

yeh-YEE tvaarzh ye CHER-veh-naa

Yes, both can mean face, but they are not always identical in tone or usage.

• tvář often has a slightly more literary, expressive, or descriptive feel
• obličej is also very common and often feels more neutral in everyday speech

So Její tvář je červená is perfectly normal, but you may also hear:

• Její obličej je červený.

Notice something important there: obličej is masculine, so the adjective changes to červený, not červená.

That makes this a useful comparison:

• ta tvář → feminine → červená
• ten obličej → masculine → červený

It can mean both, depending on context.

Literally, červená means red. But when describing a face, Czech—like English—can use red to mean:

• flushed
• reddened
• blushing
• red from embarrassment, heat, anger, cold, etc.

So even though the word itself means red, the natural interpretation with face is often something like her face is red/flushed.

Yes, they matter.

In Czech, accent marks are not optional decoration—they are part of the spelling and usually show vowel length or a different sound.

For example:

• její
• tvář
• červená

The long vowels here are important:

• í
• á

If you leave them out, the word may become incorrect or at least look careless/nonstandard.

Also note:

• č is a different letter from c
• ř is a different letter from r

So it is important to write the sentence correctly as:

Její tvář je červená.

Usually it describes a current state, not a permanent characteristic.

With a sentence like Její tvář je červená, the normal interpretation is that her face is red right now—for example because she is embarrassed, hot, angry, or has been running.

Czech uses the same structure for both fairly stable descriptions and temporary states, so context tells you which is meant.

In most everyday situations, this sentence would be understood as a temporary condition.
