"S pečeným kuřetem mi zelí nechutná."

[DeniseSchl5]

Is sauerkraut with chicken a different dish than chicken with sauerkraut?

[VladaFu]

I think so. Depends what is the main part.

[bright_flash]

Why is zelí translated as sauerkraut here? Isn't zelí cabbage in general and kysané zelí sauerkraut specifically?

[kacenka9]

well, we accept both and yet I bet you anything the speaker was actually talking about a kind of cabbage preparation that is somewhere between the two. 'Zelí' is a common side to many Czech meals. it is a cooked cabbage with vinegar and sugar and can be prepared from raw cabbage or can be prepared from sauerkraut. Go figure.

[igamenir]

Is "with" commonly used in english in this context? I'd prefer "to" here, since it's a side dish.

[ion1122]

Yes, it must be "with" here. You cannot say: "I don't like roast chicken to sauerkraut" or "I don't like sauerkraut to roast chicken".

[walkinwolk]

When the narrator says “mi” in all instances of using the dative case, it always sounds like “me” or the “i” like a cross between “i” and “e”. Is this normal in czech?

[endless_sleeper]

I have no idea what you mean by that. A cross between 'i' and 'e', but in what language?

Checked the audio for this sentence, sounds fine to my ears. The 'i' in 'mi' should be ɪ: a near-close front unrounded vowel.
