Questions & Answers about Výpis z účtu je v internetovém bankovnictví.
What does each word in Výpis z účtu je v internetovém bankovnictví mean?
A word-by-word breakdown is:
- výpis = statement, extract, printout, listing
- z = from, out of
- účtu = of the account / from the account
- je = is
- v = in
- internetovém = internet / online (in the required case form)
- bankovnictví = banking
So literally, it is something like:
- The statement from the account is in online banking.
In natural English, this would often be The bank statement is in online banking or You can find the account statement in online banking.
Why is it z účtu and not z účet?
Because the preposition z requires the genitive case in this meaning.
The basic dictionary form is:
- účet = account
But after z, it changes to:
- z účtu = from the account / of the account
This is very common in Czech:
- z domu = from the house
- z práce = from work
- z účtu = from the account
So účtu is simply the genitive singular form of účet.
What exactly does výpis z účtu mean?
Výpis z účtu is a fixed and very common banking expression meaning:
- bank statement
- literally statement/extract from the account
You will also see related expressions such as:
- bankovní výpis = bank statement
- výpis z bankovního účtu = statement from a bank account
So in practice, výpis z účtu is the normal way to say account statement or bank statement.
Why is it v internetovém bankovnictví?
Because v meaning in usually requires the locative case when talking about location.
The base phrase is:
- internetové bankovnictví = online banking / internet banking
After v, it becomes:
- v internetovém bankovnictví = in online banking
So both words are in the correct form for the locative:
- internetové → internetovém
- bankovnictví stays bankovnictví in this case
Why does internetové change to internetovém?
Because adjectives in Czech must agree with the noun they describe in:
- gender
- number
- case
Here the noun is:
- bankovnictví = banking
This noun is neuter singular, and after v it is in the locative singular.
So the adjective must also be neuter singular locative:
- nominative: internetové bankovnictví
- locative: v internetovém bankovnictví
That is why you see internetovém.
Why does bankovnictví not change after v?
It actually is in the locative, but for this noun the locative form looks the same as the nominative.
So:
- nominative: bankovnictví
- locative: v bankovnictví
This happens with many neuter nouns ending in -í.
The case changes grammatically, even if the word does not visibly change.
Is internetové bankovnictví the normal Czech term for online banking?
Yes. Internetové bankovnictví is a standard and natural term for online banking or internet banking.
You may also hear:
- online bankovnictví = online banking
- mobilní bankovnictví = mobile banking
But internetové bankovnictví is very normal and clear.
Why is there no word for the in this sentence?
Because Czech has no articles like English a/an/the.
So:
- výpis can mean a statement or the statement
- účet can mean an account or the account
You understand whether it is definite or indefinite from the context.
That is why Výpis z účtu je v internetovém bankovnictví has no separate word for the.
Can the word order be different?
Yes. Czech word order is more flexible than English word order.
The given sentence:
- Výpis z účtu je v internetovém bankovnictví.
is perfectly normal. But depending on emphasis, Czech could also use:
- V internetovém bankovnictví je výpis z účtu.
This version emphasizes where the statement is.
Very roughly:
- Výpis z účtu je v internetovém bankovnictví. = The bank statement is in online banking.
- V internetovém bankovnictví je výpis z účtu. = In online banking, there is the bank statement.
Both are grammatical; the difference is mainly focus and style.
Is je always necessary here?
In this sentence, yes.
Je is the 3rd person singular of být = to be.
- je = is
Czech often omits to be in some informal contexts, especially in headlines or notes, but in a normal full sentence like this, je is standard and expected:
- Výpis z účtu je v internetovém bankovnictví.
Without je, the sentence would sound incomplete in ordinary prose.
Could v be translated as on here, like English on online banking?
No, Czech uses v here because the idea is inside the online banking system/interface.
So:
- v internetovém bankovnictví = in online banking
English sometimes uses different prepositions depending on style, but in Czech v is the natural choice here.
A useful comparison:
- na internetu = on the internet
- v internetovém bankovnictví = in online banking
So Czech treats these as different kinds of places.
How do you pronounce the difficult words in this sentence?
A simple pronunciation guide:
- Výpis ≈ VEE-pees
- z účtu ≈ z OOCH-too
- je ≈ ye
- v internetovém ≈ f in-ter-ne-to-VEM
- bankovnictví ≈ ban-kov-nit-STVEE
A few useful notes:
- ý is a long ee sound
- ú is a long oo sound
- č sounds like ch in chair
- v is often pronounced more like f before a voiceless consonant, so v internetovém may sound close to f internetovém
Is this sentence something a bank website might actually say?
Yes, it is understandable and natural, especially in interface text or support language.
A bank might also phrase it in slightly different ways, such as:
Výpis z účtu najdete v internetovém bankovnictví.
= You can find the bank statement in online banking.Výpis je dostupný v internetovém bankovnictví.
= The statement is available in online banking.
But your original sentence is perfectly fine and idiomatic.
