Questions & Answers about Moje sestra chce psát v novinách o svobodě.

Why is it moje sestra and not má sestra? Are both correct?

Both moje sestra and má sestra are correct and mean the same thing: my sister.

• moje is the full form of the possessive pronoun.
• má is a shorter, slightly more formal or stylistic variant.

For feminine singular nouns in the nominative (like sestra), you can generally use either:

• moje sestra
• má sestra

In everyday speech, moje sestra is more common and neutral. má sestra can sound a bit more literary or emphatic, but it's not wrong.

Why is there no separate word for to in “wants to write”, like in English “wants to write”?

Czech does not use a separate word like English to before infinitive verbs.

The structure is simply:

• chtít (to want) + infinitive

So:

• chce psát = wants to write
  (chce = she wants, psát = to write)

You never add anything between chce and psát. A construction like chce to psát would be wrong in this sense.

Why is the verb psát used here instead of napsat?
