"Где этот осел" is quite rude in Russian :)


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/AlexusD90

Де є той осел? That is more similiar than Russian one.

Gdzie jest ten osioł? Not that similar. ;)

Now I need to find out when to use that sentence in my life.


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/AgnusOinas

Since "osel" can also mean "moron", you can easily use it when you're looking for a "friend" ;)

nominative case/accusative case. You should read the Tips and notes or any other resource about grammatical cases (in general and in Czech).

Why "Where is this donkey" is wrong?


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/AgnusOinas
  • "ten" means "that" (sometimes just "the" is enough)
  • "tento" and "tenhle" mean "this"

Think it should be ass or donkey, not arse... :)

The system only has 'donkey' and 'ass'. Nothing else

Then there must be a bug in here - when you get it wrong, the system gives 'Where is the arse' as the correction. Arse is fairly vulgar British English for zadek!

osel

not sure what else we can do

Tak to prosím zadej Kačenko ten=the\that

Však to tak je. To arse si vymýšlí samo Duolingo, jako automatický ekvivalent každého ass, asi jim to přijde nějak užitečné.

I know! It's just so funny to read the answer haha


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/Jimmy302921

I'll never need this word but kozel is used fairly frequently.


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/dsjanta

Well, "osel" is quite often used as an insult for people, so even if you do not use it yourself, it is good to know it, in case someone calls you that. :)

How do I know when "ten" means "the" and when "that"?
