"Kde ses naučila tak dobře řídit?"

Translation: Where did you learn to drive so well?

[tompw89]

Is "ses" short for "se jsi"?

[onetimeowl]

Close. It's "jsi se" (because of word order rules.)

[katrinkadee]

How would you say, "Where did you learn how to drive so well?"

[VladaFu]

The same. In some sentences you can use the more literal equivalent "jak řídit": "Kde ses naučila jak řídit auto?", but it is better without the "jak".

[katrinkadee]

Does your question mean "Where did you learn to drive a car?" Does the "tak" imply "so well"?

[VladaFu]

The question does mean that.

tak - so

jak - how

dobře - well

tak dobře - so well

[katrinkadee]

Is this a proper construction: Kde ses naučila jak řídit tak dobře?

[VladaFu]

No, it sounds really strange. Just skip the jak.

[renata34699]

Why not: where have you learnt to drive so well

[VladaFu]

This does not look like a sentence for the present perfect tense. We are asking where something in the past happened.

[BoneheadBass]

That was my initial thought, too, and it feels somewhat better. But then I found the "have" versions among the alts, and didn't see your comment until after I'd posted. I don't think they're awful, but I don't think they're ideal, either. if you feel those versions are too far off, I will remove them.

[VladaFu]

I am not really in the position to judge this.

[BoneheadBass]

The EN natives on the team agree that the "have learned" versions really aren't good translations in this context. I have removed them.
