Questions & Answers about Máme dost času.

What does máme mean here, and what verb is it from?

• mám = I have
• máš = you have
• má = he/she/it has
• máme = we have

Why isn’t the subject my (we) written?

Because Czech often drops subject pronouns when they are not needed.

The ending of the verb already tells you who the subject is:

• máme clearly means we have

So My máme dost času. is possible, but it usually sounds emphatic, like:

• We have enough time.
  (maybe unlike someone else)

In a neutral sentence, Czech normally just says:

• Máme dost času.
