Questions & Answers about Pro moje zdraví je důležitá hlavně zelenina a ovoce.
Why is pro used in pro moje zdraví, and what case is zdraví in?
Pro in Czech normally means “for (the benefit of)” and it always governs the accusative case.
- Preposition: pro = for
- Noun: zdraví = health (neuter)
So pro moje zdraví literally means “for my health”, with zdraví in the accusative.
For neuter nouns like zdraví, the nominative and accusative singular look the same (zdraví), so you can’t see the case difference from the form; you know it is accusative only because of the preposition pro.
Other, similar options with slightly different nuance:
- kvůli zdraví – “because of / for the sake of health” (often when health is the reason for some action)
- na zdraví – “to (our) health” (toast), or “for health” in some fixed phrases
What is the difference between moje and mé in pro moje zdraví? Could I say pro mé zdraví?
Both moje zdraví and mé zdraví mean “my health”. The difference is mostly style, not meaning.
- moje – the long form, more neutral/colloquial, very common in speech.
- mé – the short form, a bit more formal or literary; you see it more often in writing.
For a neuter singular noun like zdraví, both are correct:
- pro moje zdraví
- pro mé zdraví
Both will sound natural; a textbook or formal article might slightly prefer mé, but in everyday speech moje is extremely common.
