Badminton hrajeme na badmintonovém kurtu s badmintonovou sítí.

Hrajeme is the 1st person plural present tense of hrát (to play).

So it means we play or we are playing, depending on context.

Czech often does not use the subject pronoun my (we) because the verb ending already shows who the subject is:

• hraju / hraji = I play
• hraješ = you play
• hrajeme = we play

So Badminton hrajeme... already includes the idea of we.

Czech has no articles like English a/an/the.

So:

• badminton can mean badminton
• na badmintonovém kurtu can mean on a badminton court or on the badminton court
• s badmintonovou sítí can mean with a badminton net or with the badminton net

You understand whether it is definite or indefinite from the context, not from an article.

Yes, Hrajeme badminton na badmintonovém kurtu s badmintonovou sítí is also correct.

Starting with Badminton puts extra focus on the sport itself. It is a kind of topicalization:

• Badminton hrajeme... = As for badminton, we play it...
• Hrajeme badminton... = a more neutral We play badminton...

Czech word order is more flexible than English because the case endings show how words relate to each other.

With places like courts, playgrounds, fields, and surfaces, Czech often uses na.

So:

• na kurtu = on / at the court
• na hřišti = on / at the playing field
• na stadionu = at the stadium

Using v would usually sound wrong here. For this kind of sporting location, na is the normal preposition.

Because after na meaning in/on/at a location, Czech uses the locative case.

Here:

• kurt = base form (nominative)
• na kurtu = locative singular

The adjective must match the noun in gender, number, and case:

• badmintonový kurt = a badminton court
• na badmintonovém kurtu = on a badminton court

So:

• badmintonovém = masculine singular locative
• kurtu = masculine singular locative

Badmintonový is an adjective meaning badminton-related or for badminton.

It is made from the noun badminton plus the adjective-forming ending -ový:

• badminton → badmintonový

Examples:

• badmintonový kurt = badminton court
• badmintonová síť = badminton net
• badmintonový míček = badminton shuttlecock

This is very common in Czech: a noun becomes an adjective to describe what something is used for or related to.

Because the preposition s here means with, and that requires the instrumental case.

Base forms:

• badmintonová síť = badminton net

After s:

• s badmintonovou sítí = with a badminton net

Changes:

• badmintonová → badmintonovou
• síť → sítí

The adjective and noun both switch to the instrumental singular feminine form.

Often yes, but not always.

In this sentence, s means with:

• s badmintonovou sítí = with a badminton net

But s/se can also mean together with a person:

• s kamarádem = with a friend

And in some contexts, especially in motion expressions, it can mean something more like from/off:

• spadl se schodů = he fell down the stairs

So the meaning depends on context, but here it is the straightforward with.

It may feel unusual, but it follows a common pattern for some feminine soft nouns.

The noun is:

• síť = net

Its instrumental singular is:

• sítí

So:

• se sítí / s sítí = with a net

This is worth memorizing as part of the noun’s declension pattern. Many Czech nouns change quite a lot depending on case.

It is repetitive, but it is grammatically fine and very clear.

The sentence uses:

• Badminton = the sport
• badmintonovém kurtu = badminton court
• badmintonovou sítí = badminton net

In real speech or writing, a native speaker might shorten it if the context is obvious:

• Badminton hrajeme na kurtu se sítí.
• Hrajeme badminton na kurtu se sítí.

But the fuller version is useful for learners because it clearly shows the related vocabulary.

It can mean either, depending on context.

Czech present tense often covers both:

• We play badminton... (general/habitual)
• We are playing badminton... (right now)

If you need to make the right now meaning especially clear, Czech often adds an adverb like:

• teď = now
• právě = right now

For example:

• Teď hrajeme badminton na badmintonovém kurtu.

Because badminton itself is already the object of hrajeme.

In Badminton hrajeme..., the noun Badminton is placed first for emphasis, but it still functions as the direct object:

• Hrajeme badminton = We play badminton
• Badminton hrajeme = Badminton, we play

Czech does not need an extra pronoun like it here.

Yes, kurt is a normal Czech word, especially in sports contexts. It is a borrowing, like many sports terms in many languages.

It means court, especially for sports such as:

• tennis
• badminton
• squash

So:

• tenisový kurt = tennis court
• badmintonový kurt = badminton court

Yes. Czech word order is flexible, and different versions can shift emphasis.

For example:

• Hrajeme badminton na badmintonovém kurtu s badmintonovou sítí.
  Neutral word order.

• Badminton hrajeme na badmintonovém kurtu s badmintonovou sítí.
  Emphasis on badminton.

• Na badmintonovém kurtu hrajeme badminton s badmintonovou sítí.
  Emphasis on the place.

Not every order sounds equally natural in every context, but several are grammatically possible.

A few useful pronunciation points:

• Czech stress is almost always on the first syllable of the word.
• badmintonovém is stressed at the beginning: BAD-min-to-no-vém
• badmintonovou is also stressed at the beginning: BAD-min-to-no-vou

Also:

• ou in badmintonovou is a diphthong, roughly like oh-oo said together.
• é in -vém is a long vowel.
• í in sítí is also long.

You do not need perfect pronunciation at first, but vowel length can matter in Czech, so it is good to notice it.
