Could you please add a tips section for adverbs and conjunctions? Without any reference or grammatical tips, this is pure guesswork and therefore frustrating.

where is the d' on the czech keyboard? (as in bud')

[VladaFu]

It is not a separate character on the standard PC or typewriter keyboard. You press the háček ˇ first and then d. Háček is located on the same key as the English = and +.

[imaldastar]

is it acceptable to put "bud'" before "je?"
"Tamhleten muž buď je František nebo Matěj."

[endless_sleeper]

No. Second position rule for 'je.'

Difference between ANEBO and NEBO?

[VladaFu]

Anebo is used for some emphasis. Both are translated as OR. It is best to study the examples in the dictionaries but there is little real difference, just some speakers' preference when to use one or the other.

When do I use "bud ... nebo", and when "ani" ?

[AgnusOinas]

"ani" is always negative:

• Nechce ani jíst. -- He does not even want to eat.
• Nechce jíst ani pít. -- He wants neither to drink nor to eat.
• Chce buď jíst, nebo pít. -- He either wants to drink or to eat.

Are there alternatives for "tamhleten" for "that" in this sentence? Thanks.

Ten, Tamten, Onen

[Jennifer799022]

Doesn't "ten" mean "the"?
I am totally confused.

[AgnusOinas]

There is no (direct equivalent of) "the" in Czech. Sometimes, the English "the" (if it can be replaced by "that" without changing the meaning) can be expressed by "ten". And many times, "the" corresponds to nothing in Czech.
