Questions & Answers about Ano, to je můj pes.

How do I pronounce "Ano, to je můj pes"?

"Ano" sounds like "AH-noh," "to" sounds like "toh," "je" like "yeh," "můj" roughly like "mooy," and "pes" like "pes."

What does "to" mean in this sentence?

"To" literally means "it" or "that," and it's used as a demonstrative pronoun here. In Czech, it's very common to introduce or point out something with "to je..." meaning "that is..."

Why do I see "můj" sometimes and "moje" other times?

They both mean "my," but "můj" is the masculine form used with masculine nouns like "pes." On the other hand, "moje" is typically used with feminine or neuter nouns (e.g., "moje kočka" for "my cat" which is feminine in Czech).

Is "pes" always masculine?

Yes, "pes" (dog) is a masculine noun in Czech. Even if the dog is female in reality, "pes" remains grammatically masculine. If you need to specify a female dog, you might see "fena," but in general conversation, "pes" applies to any dog.
