"No, I have not sold the apartment yet."

Translation: Ne, ten byt jsem ještě neprodala.

Any users having trouble with UŽ and JEŠTĚ: If you know how to use the Spanish YA and TODAVÍA in positive and negative contexts, use the similarity to Czech as a shortcut. The route is just too convoluted from English.

[Adrian198829]

Thanks a lot for this! Spanish is my mother tongue and sometimes I find Czech closer to Spanish, such as před would be the same as hace (před týdnem/hace una semana). Actually, this už/ještě thing would be valid for Portuguese (já e ainda), Italian (gia e ancora) and French (dejá et encore). With před is more complicated because the word order is different, but Spanish and Portuguese are the same in this regard :)

My question is about word order: "Ne, neprodala jsem ještě ten byt" was my response, and I am not sure what is wrong with it.

thank you!

[IngridSche7]

Why is "už jsem neprodala" wrong?

[igamenir]

"už" would translate as "already"

[BoneheadBass]

I had a similar problem with using "už" when it should have been "ješte."

VladaFu gave me a great explanation, which you can find here:

I haven't fully digested it myself, but there's a lot of useful information there!

[IngridSche7]

Thank you both for your help - on second thought I found that I had only mixed up the two words (I should have known already) - after a long day I just start making stupid mistakes...

[BoneheadBass]

You're quite welcome. But look the bright side... if you're only making stupid mistakes at the end of a long day, you're way ahead of me! :-)

I have Cenicera's question about word order

[VladaFu]

What question? I said I have added that option.
