Tento program je samozřejmě nový.

Tento means this and is the more explicit form.

In real Czech, ten is very common in speech and can often sound like that or even just a kind of definite marker, depending on context. But tento is clearer and more precise for this.

So:

• tento program = this program
• ten program = often that program, but in everyday speech it can also overlap with this program depending on the situation

For a learner, tento is a very safe, clear choice when you want to say this.

Here tento is:

• masculine
• singular
• nominative

It has to match program, which is a masculine singular noun and is the subject of the sentence.

Czech demonstratives and adjectives agree with the noun they describe, so the form changes depending on:

• gender
• number
• case

Here the matching pair is:

• tento program

Program is a masculine inanimate noun.

That matters because words connected to it must agree with it. In this sentence, both tento and nový match program in:

• gender: masculine
• number: singular
• case: nominative

That is why you get:

• tento program
• nový program / program je nový

If the noun were feminine or neuter, the forms would change:

• tato kniha je nová = this book is new
• toto auto je nové = this car is new

Because it agrees with program, which is masculine singular nominative.

The adjective nový is the masculine singular nominative form of new. Czech adjectives change their endings to match the noun.

Compare:

• nový program = new program
• nová kniha = new book
• nové auto = new car

So in Tento program je samozřejmě nový, the ending -ý shows that the adjective matches a masculine singular noun.

Je is the 3rd person singular of být = to be, so it means is.

In normal Czech sentences like this one, you usually keep it:

• Tento program je nový. = This program is new.

Unlike some other Slavic languages, Czech does not normally drop the present tense of to be in standard everyday sentences.

So:

• Tento program nový. is not standard Czech.

Samozřejmě usually means:

• of course
• naturally
• obviously

In this sentence, it adds the speaker’s attitude: the speaker treats the statement as something expected or obvious.

So:

• Tento program je samozřejmě nový. = This program is of course new.

A useful thing to know is that samozřejmě can sound a little stronger than a plain factual statement. It suggests: as you would expect, naturally, or that goes without saying.

Because Czech word order is flexible, and adverbs like samozřejmě can move around.

The version here is very natural and neutral:

• Tento program je samozřejmě nový.

But you could also hear:

• Samozřejmě je tento program nový.
• Tento program je nový, samozřejmě.

These versions are all possible, but they shift emphasis slightly.

Very roughly:

• Tento program je samozřejmě nový. = neutral
• Samozřejmě je tento program nový. = stronger emphasis on of course
• Tento program je nový, samozřejmě. = of course feels like an added comment

So the middle position is common because it sounds smooth and natural.

Because Czech has no articles.

English needs:

• a program
• the program

Czech does not. The noun appears without an article, and the meaning is understood from context.

So:

• program can mean a program or the program
• tento program makes it specific: this program

This is one of the big differences between English and Czech.

A few important points:

• Czech stress is usually on the first syllable, so stress SA in samozřejmě
• ř is the famous Czech sound that is difficult for many learners
• mě is pronounced roughly like m-nye

A rough learner-friendly approximation is something like:

• SA-mo-zh-rzhei-mnye

But that is only approximate.

The hardest part is ř. If you cannot say it yet, many learners temporarily use something between zh and r. Native speakers will usually still understand you.

So the main pronunciation goals are:

1. stress the first syllable
2. do not ignore the ř
3. pronounce mě roughly like mnye

Yes. Program can mean several things, just like English program or programme.

Depending on context, it can mean:

• a computer program
• a schedule or agenda
• a plan
• a TV or radio programme
• a program in the general sense

So the exact meaning depends on context. In many modern contexts, especially without further information, people may think of a computer program, but the word itself is broader.

Yes.

• Program je samozřejmě nový.

This means The program is of course new or A program is of course new, depending on context.

Without tento, the sentence is less specific by itself. The listener has to get the reference from the situation or previous conversation.

With tento:

• Tento program je samozřejmě nový.

you clearly point to this particular program.

So adding tento makes the reference more explicit.

It is mostly neutral standard Czech.

• program
• je
• samozřejmě
• nový

are all normal standard words.

The only thing to note is that tento can sound a bit more explicit or slightly more formal than plain ten, especially in everyday spoken Czech. But it is still completely normal and correct.

So overall, the sentence sounds like good standard Czech, not strange or overly formal.
