"Kateřina and Matěj announced that they are getting married in the summer."

Translation: Kateřina a Matěj oznámili, že se v létě berou.

[Praha2017]

Why can't I say "... že se budou brát ..." instead of "... že se berou" ... ?

[VladaFu]

they are going to get married

they will marry

[renata34699]

Chápu že se zde učíme časy. Ale v češtině -berou se dnes a v létě se budou brát. Není to trochu matoucí pro cizince?

[VladaFu]

Ne.

They are getting married today. They will get married in summer.

[eznkovRena]

Správně! They will get married in the summer. Proč je potom jako správný překlad nahoře - announced, that they are getting married - to je -berou se. Ale až v létě - tedy se budou brát -will get married, jak jste sám přeložil.

[VladaFu]

To jedno. They are getting married in summer. They will get married today. Berou se v létě. Budou se brát dnes.

[JamesTWils]

Why must the "se" come before the "berou" in the second clause?

[endless_sleeper]

se has to be the second word.

[zQqmrCsK]

Is "... že se berou v létě" not acceptable?

[AgnusOinas]

That's definitely correct and accepted, provided the rest of the sentence is correct, too.

Also note that we would say "...že se berou v létě" if it was already known that they'd be getting married and now the new information is when.
