Paul-- putting "there" at the end is often the thing to do, but there are other, sometime better alternatives. In any event, the word order proposed (...I saw there...) is perfectly correct English. IMHO, these frequent discussions about the word order in the English version are helpful only if they illuminate something about the Czech sentence. Here I can see no nuance that is missed by the alternative word order, but obviously I am Czech-deaf.
I do not thing it is intentionally excluded, feel free to report as missing using the appropriate button.
It's always "ve" when the next word starts with 2 consonants or with "v" or "f"
And the second consonant is not l, r or ř, unless the first consonant is t, d, s or z ( as in tři) in which case it is ve.
I know this is petty of me, but it would be very helpful - and sensible, in order to grasp more intuitively how the language works - if the male voice did not say sentences that a female voice should be saying, and vice-versa.
I would prefer if the male voice didn't say anything at all, given how it sometimes messes up vowel lengths etc. But we have to put up with it for now. I can try disabling the male voice for this exercise, see if it works.
There is ni gender information in the sentences. Tak the voices as narrators who readsnsentemces said or written by someone else. Like when listening to an audio book.
