Questions & Answers about Můj kamarád spí v parku.

Why do we use můj here, not moje?
In Czech, můj is the masculine singular possessive pronoun and moje is mostly used for feminine or neuter nouns. Since kamarád (“friend”) is a masculine noun, we need můj.
Is kamarád always masculine?
Yes, kamarád is the masculine form of “friend,” whereas kamarádka is the feminine form. If your friend is male, you use kamarád.
Why does spí look the same for “he” and “she”?
In Czech, the present-tense verb form generally does not change to show gender. Spí is the third-person singular form for “he sleeps,” “she sleeps,” or “it sleeps.” The subject and context tell you who is sleeping.
Why do we say v parku and not v park?
After the preposition v (“in”), you usually need the locative case to denote location. For words like park, the locative singular form is parku.
Can we change the word order?
Yes. You can say V parku spí můj kamarád, but the emphasis slightly changes. The basic word order in Czech is subject–verb–object/place, but it is flexible depending on what you want to highlight.
