Inkaso je v obchodních podmínkách.

• Inkaso = the subject of the sentence
• je = the verb, from být (to be)
• v obchodních podmínkách = a prepositional phrase meaning where something is

So the structure is basically:

subject + is + location

Je is the 3rd person singular present form of být (to be).

Because inkaso is grammatically singular, Czech uses je:

• inkaso je = the collection/payment is
• compare:
  • podmínky jsou = the conditions are (plural)

So je agrees with the singular subject inkaso.

Because the preposition v usually requires the locative case when it means in or inside a place/text/document/context.

The dictionary form is:

• obchodní podmínky = terms and conditions

But after v, it changes to the locative plural:

• v obchodních podmínkách

So this is a normal case change required by the preposition.

The dictionary form is:

• obchodní podmínky

Breakdown:

• obchodní = commercial / business / trade
• podmínky = conditions / terms

Together, obchodní podmínky is the standard phrase for terms and conditions or business terms.

In the sentence, both words change form because they are in the locative plural after v.

Because adjectives in Czech must agree with the noun they describe.

Here, podmínkách is:

• plural
• locative
• feminine noun in meaning, but in adjective agreement what matters is the full case/number pattern

So the adjective also changes:

• obchodní podmínky → nominative plural
• v obchodních podmínkách → locative plural

So obchodní becomes obchodních to match podmínkách.

Because podmínky is the nominative plural form, but after v you need the locative plural.

The noun is:

• singular: podmínka
• plural: podmínky

After v, plural becomes:

• v podmínkách

So:

• obchodní podmínky = terms and conditions
• v obchodních podmínkách = in the terms and conditions

This is a very common Czech pattern with location or context after v.

Here inkaso is in the nominative singular, because it is the subject of the sentence.

The sentence is saying what or where inkaso is, so inkaso stays in the basic subject form.

Also, inkaso is a neuter noun, which is typical for many Czech nouns ending in -o.

No. Czech does not have articles like a or the.

So Inkaso je v obchodních podmínkách can mean something like:

• The collection/payment is in the terms and conditions
• or just Collection/payment is in the terms and conditions

Which one sounds best in English depends on context, but Czech itself does not mark that distinction with an article.

Yes. Czech word order is fairly flexible.

The neutral order here is:

• Inkaso je v obchodních podmínkách.

But you could also say:

• V obchodních podmínkách je inkaso.

This shifts the focus a bit. The second version emphasizes where it is.

Even though word order can change, the case endings still show the grammar roles, so the meaning usually remains clear.

Here v means in.

It is used not only for physical places, but also for things like:

• documents
• rules
• lists
• texts
• categories

So v obchodních podmínkách means in the terms and conditions, not necessarily physically inside something, but inside the text/document.

A rough pronunciation guide is:

• obchodních ≈ OB-khod-nyeekh
• podmínkách ≈ pod-MEEN-kaakh

A few useful notes:

• ch is one sound, like the ch in Scottish loch or German Bach
• í is a long ee
• á is a long aa
• stress in Czech is normally on the first syllable of each word:
  • OBchodních
  • podmínkách

Yes, it is a complete and natural sentence.

It is short and matter-of-fact, the kind of sentence you might see in:

• customer service communication
• payment instructions
• legal/business text
• website information

Czech often uses short, compact sentences like this, especially in formal or practical contexts.
