"Co děláš, zatímco já dělám?"

Translation: What do you do while I work?

I’ve never heard anybody say “delat” for “to work”...

[Filomena.Prvni]

Ale ano, v ČJ namísto "pracovat" můžeme použít i "dělat". Je to celkem běžné. Ta věta je moc povedená. Taková hra se slovíčky.

In the course, "dělat" very often is translated with the meaning of "to work." I THINK it was described in another discussion as (sort of) colloquial but often used.

[EinatAdar]

Is there a reason why while I am working is not accepted? Is it because of the aspect (non perfective)?

[onetimeowl]

Oh, hmm, good question. I'm following this discussion. Aspect is the thing I most struggle with with Czech.

[LetitiateT]

"What are you doing while I am working" is accepted.

[RickSchare]

Am I correct in assuming that both verbs are the same but different conjugation? Thx

[BoneheadBass]

Yes. Dělat is the infinitive; the first form is second second person singular, and the last is first person singular.
