"Co koupíte mně?"

Translation: What are you going to buy me?

[dsarkarati]

Is this sentence "Co koupíte mně?" the same as "Co mi koupíte?"

[endless_sleeper]

Yep. The only difference is in emphasis: MNĚ vs KOUPÍTE.

so I do not get it ...although "koupite" unless wrong is a present 2 pers. plur. verb form, why translated in future ? thanks

[VladaFu]

It is a perfective verb. Their forms that morphologically look like present forms are in the future tense. So koupíte is the future tense.

[QlIKbokf]

understood ! Thank you !

[AgnusOinas]

In order to get the present tense, you need to find the imperfective counterpart. In case of "koupit", it's "kupovat". Thus, the present tense "what are you buying?" as well as "what do you buy?" is "co kupujete?"

[QlIKbokf]

thank you very much!

Is the audio correct? I would expect "mně" to be stressed instead of "koupíte".

[AgnusOinas]

You're right that "mně" could be stressed more. The text-to-speech notoriously has problems with question melody. But on the other hand, this particular one doesn't sound too unnatural. Word stress in speech generally isn't very strong in Czech.
