"špatná ulice"

Translation: bad street

[Seattle_Scott]

Does this also mean wrong street, or just bad street? Like, you’re on the wrong street, or that’s the wrong street. ?

[VladaFu]

It does.

[Jane16487]

I'm still a little confused. This means wrong street, like you are on the wrong street. And, it means bad street per the translation. Does "bad street" refer to it being a street in a bad neighborhood, or does it refer to a street that needs to be repaired? Thanks

[Zesul]

Does ulice have a retroflex l? :O

[VladaFu]

No, Czech l is a normal lateral approximant, not the retroflex one.

[MattCK79]

Is 'špatná' used to mean both 'bad' or 'wrong' depending on context?

[VladaFu]

yes

[hvczech]

in my opinion bad road is also correct

[endless_sleeper]

Your opinion is wrong.

[hvczech]

Hm, please explain.

[SzymonRuci]

ulice means street, like in a city, while road is cesta

[endless_sleeper]

'Road' is actually closer to silnice = 'paved road used for motorized traffic.'

[damofoluis]

ulice immeadiately reminded me of utca in hungarian! what a coincidence!

[endless_sleeper]

Wow, good point! I looked into it and utca is actually of Slavic origin. I haven't realised that before, but that doesn't surprise me, my knowledge of Hungarian is limited to pronouncing 'Kéleti pályaudvar' without stammering (too much) O:)

[SzymonRuci]

well in polish it's "ulica" hah (singular: ulica; plural: ulice)
