"Another missile was launched by North Korea today."

Translation: Dnes byla Severní Koreou odpálena další střela.

Word order ''Dnes byla další střela odpálena Severní Koreou'' should be accepted, please.

The word order in your sentence sounds a bit wrong to my ears, tbh.

Why not: Severní Korea dnes odpálila další střelu

[VladaFu]

It is active, the sentence being translated is passive.

What about "Dnes byla další střela Severní Koreou opálena"?

[AgnusOinas]

It's weird to stress "odpálena" like that. Possible things to stress: "today", "North Korea", and most likely "missile".

Also, it's "odpálena" with "od-", "opálena" would mean the missile got singed.

in this sentence, is "byla" second position the most important ? like other auxiliary words like "jsem" ? thanks (I was wrong!)

[VladaFu]

There are no clitics here. They would go even before byla. (Včera jsem byla v Severní Koreji.)

The stressed parts are generally first and last, last being most often the focus. The second position is unstressed.

I see ...thank you !
