"Kateřina někam jde?"

Translation: Is Kateřina going somewhere?

[mattvick]

Could this also be translated as "Does Katerina go anywhere?"

[liborio151972]

"Does Katerina go anywhere? (at all)" = Chodí Kateřina někam (vůbec)? With the habitual aspect version of to go (chodit)

[deliajebeleanu]

"Does Kateřina go somewhere?" Why does it have to be Present Continuous?

[ion1122]

Some Czech verbs can be translated using either simple present or present contnuous. But Czech verbs of motion are different. There are usually different verbs for the continuous vs. the habitual.

[DobarDan3]

Maybe that should be in the tips...

[Richard209991]

Using only these three Czech words in this sentence, please list other (if any) possibilities to express the same meaning "Is Katerina going somewhere?"

[AgnusOinas]

• Jde Kateřina někam?
• Jde někam Kateřina?
• Kateřina někam jde? ("declarative question")

[Mario_Mezzofanti]

Ok... again, what is the diference? What is emphasized in each one?
