"Potřebujeme kávu."

Translation: We need coffee.

[AlexusD90]

Is Potrebujeme read like potshebeyeme? R like sh, not rzh?

[VladaFu]

It is read with ř, the voiced or voiceless alveolar raised trill (or flap) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental,_alveolar_and_postalveolar_trills#Raised_alveolar_non-sonorant_trill https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiceless_alveolar_trill#Voiceless_alveolar_raised_non-sonorant_trill

In this position it should be the voiceless form.

The audio is quite correct here.

So it is sort of like like "rž" if you wish, but voiceless, the vocal cords do not vibrate. It is not like voiceless š (sh if you wish) because the tongue position is different (more forward).

How do i know it is "We need coffee." Instead of "They need coffee."
?

[VladaFu]

They need coffee is: Potřebují kávu. or Potřebujou kávu.

[RomanaHart2]

Potřebujeme=we need
Potřebují (í at the end of the word, long pronouciation)=they need
Potřebuji (i, short pronouciation)= I need.

Why is "we need a coffee" incorrect as another translation option.

[VladaFu]

I am not a native but it sounds like we need one single cup of coffee for us all to me.

[RomanaHart2]

It also could mean we need some coffee to buy for our kitchen.

I do not think so, the article would not belong there.
