Jdeme kolem tržních stánků.

Jdeme is the 1st person plural form of jít, which means to go or to walk.

So jdeme means:

• we go
• we are going
• we’re walking

In this sentence, it most naturally suggests movement that is happening now: we are walking / going.

Czech often omits subject pronouns when they are clear from the verb form.

• jdeme already tells you the subject is we
• so my jdeme is possible, but usually unnecessary

You would add my only for emphasis, contrast, or clarity.

For example:

• Jdeme kolem tržních stánků. = We’re walking past the market stalls.
• My jdeme kolem tržních stánků. = We’re the ones walking past the market stalls. / We are walking past the market stalls.

Kolem usually means around, past, or by.

In this sentence, the most natural meaning is:

• past
• or by

So the idea is that we are going/walking past the market stalls.

Depending on context, kolem can sometimes feel like around the area of something, but with movement like this, English often uses past.

Because kolem requires the genitive case.

So the noun phrase after kolem has to be in the genitive:

• stánky = stalls (nominative plural)
• stánků = of stalls / stalls after a genitive-taking word

And the adjective must match the noun:

• tržní stánky = market stalls (nominative plural)
• tržních stánků = market stalls after kolem (genitive plural)

So:

• kolem tržních stánků = past the market stalls

The dictionary forms are:

• tržní = market / related to a market
• stánek = stall, booth, stand

Their nominative plural form would be:

• tržní stánky = market stalls

In the sentence, they change to genitive plural because of kolem:

• tržních stánků

Because adjectives in Czech must agree with the nouns they describe in:

• gender
• number
• case

Here, stánků is:

• plural
• genitive

So the adjective must also be plural genitive:

• tržní → tržních

This is standard adjective agreement.

Because stánek is a noun, and after kolem it has to be in the genitive plural.

Its forms are:

• stánek = nominative singular
• stánky = nominative plural
• stánků = genitive plural

So in this sentence:

• not kolem tržní stánky
• but kolem tržních stánků

because kolem triggers the genitive.

Grammatically, jdeme is present tense.

In English, it can be translated in slightly different ways depending on context:

• We are going
• We’re walking
• sometimes We’re going to go is possible in a future-looking context, but not the most direct reading here

In this sentence by itself, the most natural interpretation is present ongoing movement: We are walking past the market stalls.

This is a very common question.

Czech often distinguishes between:

• jít = going in one direction, right now, on a particular occasion
• chodit = going/walking habitually, repeatedly, or in various directions

So:

• Jdeme kolem tržních stánků. = We’re walking past the market stalls (right now).
• Chodíme kolem tržních stánků. = We regularly walk past the market stalls.

So jít is the correct choice for a specific movement happening now.

Yes. Czech word order is more flexible than English word order.

The neutral order here is:

• Jdeme kolem tržních stánků.

But you could also hear:

• Kolem tržních stánků jdeme.

That would sound more marked and would usually put extra emphasis on kolem tržních stánků.

Czech word order often changes to reflect:

• what is already known
• what is being emphasized
• what is new information

So the original sentence is the most neutral and natural basic version.

A rough pronunciation guide is:

Jdeme kolem tržních stánků
≈ YDE-me KO-lem TRZH-neekh STAAN-koo

A few useful notes:

• j in Czech is pronounced like English y in yes
• ř is a special Czech sound; learners often approximate it at first with something between r and zh
• í and á are long vowels
• ů is also a long oo sound

You do not need a perfect ř immediately to be understood, but it is worth practicing over time.

Not always exactly, but here it works very well as market.

Tržní is an adjective meaning something like:

• market-related
• of a market
• sometimes trade/market in other contexts

So tržní stánky means market stalls.

In other contexts, tržní can appear in expressions like:

• tržní ekonomika = market economy
• tržní cena = market price

So it is a broad adjective connected with the idea of a market.

The most natural translations are:

• We’re walking past the market stalls.
• We’re going past the market stalls.
• We’re walking by the market stalls.

If you translate more literally, you might get We are going around the market stalls, but in normal English that may sound less natural unless the wider context specifically means movement around them. In most situations, past is the best choice.
