Questions & Answers about V jiném městě je hezký park.

Why is it V jiném městě and not v jiný město?

This is because Czech requires the locative case after the preposition v (in). The noun město (city/town) changes to městě in the locative. The adjective jiný (other) also needs to agree in case, number, and gender with město, so it becomes jiném in the locative singular.

How do I know that hezký is the correct form of the adjective?

Park is a masculine inanimate noun (in Czech grammar terms), so the adjective must be masculine as well. The base adjective hezký already corresponds to the masculine singular nominative form, matching park.

Why is the word order V jiném městě je hezký park instead of Hezký park je v jiném městě?

Both word orders are grammatically correct in Czech. The sentence V jiném městě je hezký park places emphasis on where the park is, whereas Hezký park je v jiném městě places emphasis more on the park itself. Word order in Czech is relatively flexible, but the placement of words can subtly change what is emphasized.

Can I use další instead of jiném, as in V dalším městě je hezký park?

Yes, but další means "another" in the sense of "next" or "additional," while jiný emphasizes a "different" town. The sentence V dalším městě je hezký park suggests that you're talking about a town following a previous one in a sequence, while V jiném městě je hezký park highlights that the town is simply different from the one previously mentioned.

Is there any special pronunciation tip for words like jiném?

Be sure to pronounce every consonant distinctly. The sequence "jn" in jiném can be tricky for English speakers. Practice saying yi-nem (with a short "i" sound) smoothly. Czech vowels are generally short and clear, so focus on pronouncing the "e" in jiném crisply.
