"Starají se o ni ty ženy."

Translation: The women are taking care of her.

[Drakunia]

Why the subject, 'ty ženy', is at the end of the sentence? Would it be correct to say 'ty ženy staraji se o ni'?

[VladaFu]

Because "ty ženy" is stressed, it is the new information that the sentence brings. It is them who take care of her.

Ty ženy staraji se o ni. is acceptd. The meaning is different though. We stress o ni. It is her of whom the women take care. She is the new information brought by the sentence.

I find the word order very difficult like that. To me it would be much more natural would as it were: "Ty ženy se starají o ni." Would that be correct too and which word order would a Czech person use?

[VladaFu]

It is possible, but much less natural. You use it when you are stressing they are taking care of HER and not of someone else.

Já tam slyším: Starají se o MĚ ty ženy.

Sounds fine to me.

Při poslechovém cvičení slyším NĚ (želva to již říká správně), v diskusi skutečně nelze spustit zvuk.

[VladaFu]

U nás je to slyšet správně. S tím, že nejde spustit zvuk, se můžete obrátit na samotné Duolingo, ale asi o tom už vědí. Tak mne to rozčiluje. Včera nefungovaly odkazy do dizkuzí, dneska už diskuze neotevřu na Firefoxu vůbec.

[Translingual]

I still find myself completely unable to hear the difference between "ně" and "ni"... this is frustrating.
