when do you use triko versus tričko? I keep getting this wrong.

Hi, can somebody clarify why it is "a tricko" and not "the tricko"?


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/BoneheadBass

The course almost always uses a demonstrative pronoun when "the" is meant, and without a demonstrative pronoun, the translation is usually "a/an." Since there is no demonstrative here, "a" is used in the English translation.

This is what we have been accepting on the English side for at least 6 months:

Who wants [the/a] [pink/rose] [t-shirt/tee shirt]?

IMO the definite article is a marginal translation here, but in it went anyway. Of course, neither "a tricko" nor "the tricko" is acceptable on any side of this exercise.

Our new speaker for the course pronounces "kdo" as "kdu". Is this usual?

I can hear "kdo".

Even in the English word "go" there is a Czech "u" sound at the end like in "dlouhe", so I will be alert for this in future. He pronounced a later sentence with "kdo" more like what I expected.
