Jdeme přes park.

Jdeme is the 1st person plural form of the verb jít (to go).

So:

• jdu = I go / I’m going
• jdeš = you go / you’re going
• jde = he/she/it goes
• jdeme = we go / we’re going
• jdete = you plural / formal go
• jdou = they go

Because the sentence means we are going, Czech uses jdeme.

In Czech, subject pronouns are often left out because the verb ending already shows who is doing the action.

Here, -me in jdeme tells you it means we. So my jdeme is possible, but usually unnecessary unless you want emphasis or contrast.

For example:

• Jdeme přes park. = We’re going through the park.
• My jdeme přes park, oni jdou kolem. = We’re going through the park, they’re going around.

Přes usually means across, over, or through, depending on context.

In Jdeme přes park, it means that the movement goes across/through the park, not just toward it or inside it.

Compare:

• do parku = into the park
• v parku = in the park
• přes park = across / through the park

So přes focuses on movement from one side to the other, or movement passing through an area.

Because přes takes the accusative case, and park is the accusative singular form here.

The noun park is a masculine inanimate noun. For many masculine inanimate nouns, the nominative and accusative singular look the same.

So:

• nominative: park
• accusative: park

That is why you see přes park.

Other cases would look different:

• v parku = in the park
• parkem = by the park / through the park only in some instrumental uses, but not after přes

Yes, in standard Czech, přes is used with the accusative case.

Examples:

• přes most = across the bridge
• přes ulici = across the street
• přes město = through/across the city
• přes park = through the park

So when you learn přes, it is a good idea to learn it together with the rule přes + accusative.

Yes, you can, but it is not exactly the same in tone or usage.

• přes park is very common and neutral for across/through the park
• skrz park also means through the park, but it can sound a bit more like passing through the inside of something, and in some situations it feels slightly more colloquial or more strongly focused on going right through

In many everyday situations, přes park is the more natural choice.

Yes. Czech present tense often covers both the simple present and the present continuous meanings that English separates.

So jdeme can mean:

• we go
• we are going

In this sentence, the natural English translation is usually we’re going through the park, but Czech does not need a separate progressive form like English does.

The dictionary form is jít, which means to go.

This verb is a bit irregular, so its forms are worth memorizing:

• jdu
• jdeš
• jde
• jdeme
• jdete
• jdou

Czech has several verbs related to movement, and jít specifically refers to going on foot in a single direction.

Yes, Czech word order is quite flexible. Jdeme přes park is the most neutral and natural order here.

You could also say:

• Přes park jdeme.
• Přes park jdeme my.

But these alternatives usually add emphasis, contrast, or a different information focus.

For example:

• Přes park jdeme, ne kolem řeky. = We’re going through the park, not along the river.

So the basic word order is natural, but Czech can move words around more freely than English.

A simple learner-friendly pronunciation guide would be:

YD-eh-meh prshes park

A few important points:

• j in Czech sounds like English y in yes
• e is like e in met, but cleaner and shorter
• ř in přes is a special Czech sound; learners often approximate it at first with something between r and zh, or even just a careful r until they improve
• á, é, í etc. are long vowels, but here přes has é? No — it is přes with short e
• r in Czech is trilled or tapped, not like English r

So:

• Jdeme ≈ YD-eh-meh
• přes ≈ difficult prshes
• park ≈ park with a rolled/tapped r

Czech distinguishes motion verbs more than English does.

Jít means to go on foot in one direction. That makes it the right verb in a sentence like this if the people are walking through the park.

Compare:

• jít / chodit = go on foot
• jet / jezdit = go by vehicle
• běžet = run
• nést / vést etc. = carry / lead

So if you are walking through the park, Jdeme přes park is exactly the expected choice.

Not quite.

• Jdeme přes park usually means we are going through the park now or we’re heading through the park
• Chodíme přes park usually means we go through the park regularly / habitually

This is a common Czech contrast:

• jít = one specific movement, one direction
• chodit = repeated, habitual, or multi-directional movement on foot

So if you mean a current action happening now, jdeme is the better choice.
