You should tell this to the hungarian course guys :x
It is a fun course though, haha

What's the main difference in Czech between good and nice?
I always get wrong answers because in cases like above, I believe "Short sentences are nice" is a much better sounding translation. What am I missing?

[ion1122]

dobré = good. Translate it that way. That is what is missing.

[Akietsu]

In singular, would this be ‘Ta kratká věca je dobrá’ (The short sentence is good)?

[JanLyko]

Except for a typo ("věta"), yes.

[Ceeciliiaa]

Ok, so with this I understand that 'malé' is just for describing people? like in 'Jsem malá žena'?

[JulianaFer788726]

But malé is "small" and not "short", right? Maybe you can say 'malá a krátká žena'

[Jamie08MD]

You're both right and not. :-) I'll give you a few examples.

"malý" means small; or short (when referring to people's height)

"krátký" means short, but it refers to lenght (ie. short in lenght [distance] or lasting for a short period of time).

For example: Malá žena má krátké nohy. (A small woman has short legs.) Film byl krátký. (A movie was short.) Potřebuju krátký kabel. (I need a short cable.) Malé věci jsou hezké. (Small things are pretty.) Ten strom je malý. (The tree is small.)

[Carrie533002]

My answer was "krátké věty jsou dobré" and the system said, I had a typo. I guess it’s because I didn’t use a capital K?

[VladaFu]

I doubt so, capital letters differences should be ignored. But hard to say without seeing the actual message.

[Yukohn]

Why "Brief sentences are good" is not accepted?

[AgnusOinas]

A more accurate translation of "brief sentences" is "stručné věty", but we might add "brief" here as the meaning is pretty close.

[snikta]

is vety masculine inanimate?

[BoneheadBass]

Věta is feminine.

[YanVoit]
