Questions & Answers about Oni milují vidět hezkou zahradu.

Why do we say Oni milují instead of something like Oni mají rádi?

In Czech, milovat is a stronger form of “to love,” while mít rád is closer to “to like.” Both are correct, but milovat emphasizes a deeper love or a strong liking for something.

Why is vidět used in the infinitive form here?

Czech often places an infinitive after verbs expressing desire or preference. Milovat belongs to this category, so it is followed by the infinitive vidět (“to see”).

Why is it hezkou zahradu instead of hezká zahrada?

The phrase hezkou zahradu is in the accusative singular form, which reflects the direct object (the thing being loved to be seen). Feminine nouns ending in -a typically become -u in the accusative singular, and adjectives like hezká adjust to hezkou to match the case and gender.

Do we need the pronoun Oni at the start of the sentence?

In Czech, pronouns are often dropped unless needed for emphasis or clarity. You could simply say Milují vidět hezkou zahradu, and it would still be understood as “They love to see a beautiful garden.” Oni is used when you want to emphasize who you’re talking about or distinguish from someone else.

Is there a difference in meaning if we say Oni rádi vidí hezkou zahradu instead?

Using rádi vidí shifts the meaning slightly to “They like seeing a beautiful garden.” It sounds more neutral in terms of intensity than milují vidět, which implies a stronger love or passion for the experience of seeing the garden.
