Hráč dostal sto bodů.

A word-for-word breakdown is:

• hráč = player
• dostal = got / received
• sto = one hundred
• bodů = points

So the whole sentence means something like The player got one hundred points or The player received 100 points. In many contexts, natural English might also be The player scored 100 points.

Dostal is the past-tense form of the verb dostat.

It tells you several things at once:

• past tense: something happened
• masculine singular: it agrees with hráč, which is a masculine noun
• 3rd person: he got / the player got

A useful thing for English speakers: in Czech, 3rd-person past tense does not need a separate word like has or did here. So dostal by itself can mean he got.

Compare:

• dostal jsem = I got
• dostal jsi = you got
• dostal = he got

Hráč is in the nominative singular because it is the subject of the sentence — the person doing or experiencing the action.

Here, the subject is the player, so nominative is the expected case.

Also, hráč is a masculine animate noun, which matters because Czech verbs in the past tense agree with gender and number. That is why the verb is dostal.

Because after numerals like pět (five) and higher, Czech usually uses the counted noun in the genitive plural.

So:

• jeden bod = one point
• dva body = two points
• tři body = three points
• čtyři body = four points
• pět bodů = five points
• sto bodů = one hundred points

So bodů is the correct form after sto.

No. The Czech noun is bod, which means point, dot, or sometimes mark/item depending on context.

Its plural nominative is body, which can look funny to English speakers because it resembles English bodies, but it has nothing to do with the English noun body.

So in this sentence:

• bodů = of points / points after a higher number

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

So hráč can mean:

• a player
• the player

Which one is meant depends on the context. In an isolated sentence, English usually chooses whichever sounds most natural in context.

Because dostat is a perfective verb. It presents the action as a completed whole: the player successfully received the points.

That fits a sentence about one finished event.

Compare:

• dostal sto bodů = he got 100 points / he received 100 points
  → one completed event
• dostával sto bodů = he was getting 100 points / he used to get 100 points
  → repeated, ongoing, or habitual action

This perfective/imperfective contrast is very important in Czech.

The whole phrase sto bodů is the direct object, so it functions in the accusative.

But with numerals, Czech works a little differently internally:

• sto is the numeral
• bodů appears in the genitive plural because it follows a higher number

So from a learner’s point of view, it is useful to think:

• the whole phrase = object of the verb
• the noun after sto = genitive plural

That is why bodů is not in the ordinary accusative plural form.

Yes. Czech word order is more flexible than English because case endings show grammatical roles.

The neutral order here is:

• Hráč dostal sto bodů.

But other orders are possible for emphasis:

• Sto bodů dostal hráč.
  = emphasizes 100 points
• Dostal hráč sto bodů?
  = Did the player get 100 points?

So word order often affects focus, emphasis, or style, not just basic grammar.

A simple pronunciation guide:

• hráč ≈ hraach
  
  • á is long
  • č sounds like ch in church
• dostal ≈ DOS-tal
• sto ≈ sto
• bodů ≈ BO-doo
  • ů is a long oo sound

Czech stress is usually on the first syllable of each word:

• HRÁČ
• DOS-tal
• STO
• BO-dů

Yes. The past-tense verb changes to agree with gender and number.

Examples:

• Hráčka dostala sto bodů. = The female player got 100 points.
• Hráči dostali sto bodů. = The players got 100 points.

So the ending of the past-tense verb is an important clue:

• dostal = masculine singular
• dostala = feminine singular
• dostali = plural masculine animate

Literally, dostal means got or received.

But in English, if you are talking about a game, test, or competition, a very natural translation may be:

• The player scored 100 points.

So the best English translation depends on the situation:

• got 100 points = very close to the Czech wording
• received 100 points = more formal/literal
• scored 100 points = often the most natural in context
