Is there another translation of the verb "pozadat" in czech other than pozadat koho o ...(asking someone to marry)? Thanks
An ordinary "požádat o něco" is just an ordinary generic "ask for something". It is a synonym of "poprosit o něco".
požádal o auto - poprosil o auto - he asked for a car
There are also imperfective žádat and prosit.
(Po)žádat is better or even necessary for a formal request or proposal. (Po)prosit is better for asking family members, friends and similar.
