Breakdown of Co se týče nouzového převozu, je pojistný limit vysoký?
Questions & Answers about Co se týče nouzového převozu, je pojistný limit vysoký?
What is co se týče? Is it a fixed expression?
Yes. Co se týče is a very common fixed expression meaning as for, regarding, with regard to, or when it comes to.
You can think of it as an introductory phrase that sets the topic:
In this sentence, it introduces the topic nouzového převozu.
A very literal breakdown is something like what concerns / as far as ... is concerned, but in real use it is best learned as a whole phrase.
Why is it nouzového převozu and not nouzový převoz?
Because co se týče is followed by the genitive case.
So:
- nominative: nouzový převoz
- genitive: nouzového převozu
Both words change because the adjective must agree with the noun:
- nouzový → nouzového
- převoz → převozu
This is one of the main things learners need to remember with co se týče: it normally takes the genitive.
What exactly does převoz mean here?
Převoz means transport, transfer, or conveyance from one place to another.
In medical or insurance contexts, nouzový převoz usually suggests something like:
- emergency transport
- emergency transfer
- transport to a hospital
- medical evacuation, depending on context
So it is not just any general movement; it often sounds a bit official or practical, especially in healthcare, travel, or insurance language.
Why is there a comma after nouzového převozu?
Because Co se týče nouzového převozu is an introductory topic phrase, and Czech normally separates that kind of phrase with a comma.
So the sentence is structured like this:
- Co se týče nouzového převozu, = topic frame
- je pojistný limit vysoký? = main question
This is similar to English punctuation in sentences like:
- As for emergency transport, is the insurance limit high?
How is this a question? Why doesn’t Czech need something like English do?
Czech does not use do/does to form questions.
A yes/no question is usually made by:
- intonation
- question mark in writing
- often putting the finite verb early in the sentence
Here the main clause is:
- je pojistný limit vysoký?
That is literally structured like:
- is the insurance limit high?
So Czech can simply use the verb je without any extra helper verb.
What does pojistný limit mean? Is it the same as pojistka?
Not exactly.
- pojistný limit = insurance limit, coverage limit, the maximum amount covered
- pojistka = insurance policy or sometimes insurance in everyday speech
So pojistný limit is a specific insurance term, not the whole policy itself.
In this sentence, the question is about the size of the coverage cap, not whether insurance exists.
Why is it vysoký?
Because vysoký agrees with limit, which is:
- masculine inanimate
- singular
- nominative
So the predicate adjective also appears as:
- vysoký
Compare:
- limit je vysoký = the limit is high
- částka je vysoká = the amount is high
- krytí je vysoké = the coverage is high
The ending changes to match the noun.
Is vysoký limit natural Czech? It feels like high limit in English.
Yes, it is natural.
Czech uses vysoký with things like:
- vysoký plat = a high salary
- vysoká cena = a high price
- vysoký limit = a high limit
So this works the same way as English high in many financial or numerical contexts.
Could this sentence be phrased in a simpler or more everyday way?
Yes. The original sentence is correct and fairly natural, especially in formal or semi-formal contexts. But there are other ways to say it.

So co se týče is good to know, but not the only option.
How do you pronounce the trickiest parts of this sentence?
A few useful notes:
- co = roughly tso
- týče:
- ý is a long ee sound
- č sounds like ch in church
- převozu:
- ř is the famous Czech sound, something like a mix of r and zh
- learners often approximate it at first; that is normal
- pojistný:
- stress is on the first syllable, as in almost all Czech words: PO-jist-ný
- nouzového:
- Czech stress is also on the first syllable: NOU-zo-vé-ho
Very roughly, the whole sentence sounds like:
Tso se TEE-cheh NOU-zo-veh-ho PRZHE-vo-zu, yeh PO-yist-nee LIM-it VI-so-kee?
That is only an approximation, but it can help at the beginning.
