"Co znamená to slovo?"

Translation: What does that word mean?

[Paul378887]

Why can't this be translated as "What does THIS word mean"? I thought "to" could mean "this" or "that".

[ValaCZE]

No, "to" means the or that. "This" is toto/tohle.

[DejanaU.]

Why didn't they accept "What does mean that word"?

[svrsheque]

because is messed up the word order. wait. i have been here before.

[Milan_Fornusek]

Why not "What means the word?"

[BoneheadBass]

That's just incorrect in current, everyday English, You might find it in a book or play set in a long-ago time, or possibly in a poem or song.
