Before 1918, the Czech lands were provinces of Austria, which, together with Hungary, constituted the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Records written before 1918 may be in German, Latin, or Czech. Czech records often contain German and Latin words. See the [[German Word List|German Genealogical Word List]] and the [[Latin Genealogical Word List|Latin Genealogical Word List]].

=== Variant Forms of Words ===


In Czech, the forms of most words will vary according to how they are used in a sentence. ''Who, whose, whom'', or ''marry, marries, married'' are examples of words in English with variant forms. In Czech, any word may have different forms, depending on how it is used. This word list gives the standard form of each Czech word.

So ''Černý'' may be spelled ''Tscherny''. Or, German names can be spelled in Czech phonetics, so ''Schmidt'' may be spelled ''Šmid''. Surnames can also be translated into the language of the text. Smith, for example could be translated as ''Schmidt'' (German), ''Kovař'' (Czech), ''Kovács'' (Hungarian), or ''Faber'' (Latin).

==Numbers==
 
In some genealogical records, numbers are spelled out. This is especially true with dates. The following list gives the cardinal (1, 2, 3) and the ordinal (1st, 2nd, 3rd) versions of each number. In actual usage, days of the month are written in ordinal form with a possessive grammatical ending. In the following list, the ordinal number in its standard form is given first, followed by the possessive form (in some cases only the possessive ending is listed):

==Date and Time==
 
To understand Czech dates, use the following lists as well as the preceding “Numbers” section. In Czech records, dates are occasionally spelled out. Dates are usually given with possessive grammatical endings:
 
*''dvacátého osmého srpna, jeden tisíc osm set'' ''padesát dva''
*[on the twenty-eighth of August, one thousand eight hundred fifty and two]  28 August 1852
 
===Months of the Year===
 
Czech dates are always given in day-month-year order. Months are often abbreviated using a Roman numeral.
 
For example, 25 February 1848 could be written as:<br>    25. února 1848<br>    25. 2. 1848<br>    25. II. 1848
 
The months listed below are shown in their standard form and in the possessive form used in writing dates:

In some genealogical records, numbers are spelled out. This is especially true with dates. The following list gives the cardinal (1, 2, 3) and the ordinal (1st, 2nd, 3rd) versions of each number. In actual usage, days of the month are written in ordinal form with a possessive grammatical ending. In the following list, the ordinal number in its standard form is given first, followed by the possessive form (in some cases only the possessive ending is listed):
 
'''pátý'''&nbsp; -&nbsp;the fifth&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;'''pátého'''&nbsp; - on the fifth (of the month)
 
'''Cardinal&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Ordinal'''

== Date and Time  ==
 
To understand Czech dates, use the following lists as well as the preceding “Numbers” section. In Czech records, dates are occasionally spelled out. Dates are usually given with possessive grammatical endings:
 
*''dvacátého osmého srpna, jeden tisíc osm set'' ''padesát dva''
*[on the twenty-eighth of August, one thousand eight hundred fifty and two]&nbsp; 28 August 1852
 
=== Months of the Year  ===
 
Czech dates are always given in day-month-year order. Months are often abbreviated using a Roman numeral.
 
&nbsp;For example, 25 February 1848 could be written as:<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 25. února 1848<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 25. 2. 1848<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 25. II. 1848

Introduction[edit | edit source]

The Czech Republic Genealogical Word List contains Czech words and their English translations for many words that are found in documents used to research Czech ancestors. Click here for the PDF version of the Czech Genealogical Word List.

If the word (or some form of it) you are looking for is not on this list, please consult a Czech-English dictionary. See the Additional Resources section below.

Czech is a Slavic language derived from the West Slavic language family. Czech is related to Slovak and Polish and is used in the genealogical sources throughout the Czech Republic. Czech is the language of the Czech Republic and was the official language in the Czech lands of Bohemia, Moravia, and Silesia in the former Czechoslovakia. In addition, the Czech language may be found in the records of Czech communities in the United States, Canada, and other areas settled by Czechs.

Before 1918, the Czech lands were provinces of Austria, which, together with Hungary, constituted the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Records written before 1918 may be in German, Latin, or Czech. Czech records often contain German and Latin words. See the German Genealogical Word List and the Latin Genealogical Word List.

Language Characteristics[edit | edit source]

Variant Forms of Words[edit | edit source]

In Czech, the forms of most words will vary according to how they are used in a sentence. Who, whose, whom, or marry, marries, married  are examples of words in English with variant forms. In Czech, any word may have different forms, depending on how it is used. This word list gives the standard form of each Czech word. The endings of Czech words in a document often differ from what you find in this list.

Surnames

Surnames will have the added ending -ová or -á if the person referred to is female:

Surname
Novák
Pleva
Novotný

+ female ending
Nováková
Plevová
Novotná

Gender

Czech words for persons, places, and things (nouns) are classified as masculine, feminine, or neuter. Adjectives used to describe the singular and plural forms of Czech words must have the proper masculine, feminine, or neuter endings:

starý muž
stará žena
staré město

old man
old woman
old city

staří muži
staré ženy
stará města

old men
old women
old cities

This word list gives only the singular masculine form of adjectives. Thus, starý, stará, staré, and staří (all forms of “old”) are listed here as starý.

The endings of past tense verbs also change, depending on the gender and number of the subject:

narodil se
narodila se
narodilo se
narodili(y) se

he was born
she was born
it (the child) was born
they were born

This word list gives only the narodil se (“he was born”) form of the past tense verb. You can conclude that narodila se means “she was born,” etc.

Plurals

Plural forms of Czech words usually change the singular word:

Words ending in -a change to -y:
žena woman / wife   ženy women / wives

Words ending in -o change to -a:
město city   města cities

Words ending in -e and -í do not change:
ulice street   ulice streets

Words ending in a consonant add -y. A few words add -i, -ové, or -e to form the plural:

list
muž

page
man

listy
muži

pages
men

The plural form may change the basic word:

dítě
bratr
zámek

child
brother
palace

děti
bratři
zámky

children
brothers
palaces

Grammatical Use

The endings of Czech words can also vary, depending on the grammatical use of the words. Czech grammar requires a different ending for a word used as a subject, a possessive, an object, or with a preposition. Czech words fall into several classes, each with its own set of grammatical endings. Certain possessive endings give the meaning “of” to a word.

  • Nouns change the endings to show possession.

Nouns ending with a consonant add -a or -e:

bratr
muž

brother
man

bratra
muže

of brother
of man

Nouns ending with -a add -y:
sestra sister   sestry of sister

Nouns ending with -o add -a:
město city   města of city

Plural masculine nouns change to -ů:
muži husbands   mužů of husbands

Plural feminine or neuter nouns drop the last vowel:
ženy wife   žen of wives

  • Adjectives change the endings to show possession.

Adjectives ending in -ý change to -ého:
narozený born   narozeného of the born

Adjectives ending in -á change to -é:
křtěná baptized   křtěné of the baptized

Adjectives ending in -é change to -ého:
neznámé unknown   neznámého of the unknown

Adjectives ending in -í change to -ího:
první first   prvního of the first

Plural adjectives ending in -ý or -í add -ch:

zemřelý
erbovní

deceased
heraldic

zemřelých
erbovních

of the deceased
of the heraldic

These examples show some endings in context:

Syn zemřelého Josefa Nováka a Anny Plevové means “son of the deceased Josef Novák and of Anna Plevová (Pleva).”

Manželství mezi Karlem Václavem Havlem a Barborou Marií Kozárovou means “marriage between Karel Václav Havel and Barbora Marie Kozárová (Kozár).”

Alphabetical Order[edit | edit source]

Written Czech uses several letters in addition to the 26 letters used in the English alphabet: á, č, ď, é, ě, í, ň, ó, ř, š, ť, ,ú, ů, ý, ž. The letter combination ch is also considered a single letter and is alphabetized after h. Letters q, w, and x are used only in words of foreign origin. Czech dictionaries and indexes use the following alphabetical order:

a,á  b  c,č  d,ď  e,é,ě  f  g  h  ch  i,í  j  k  l  m  n,ň  o,ó  p  (q)  r,ř  s,š  t,ť  u,ú,ů  v  (w)  (x)  y,ý  z,ž 

This word list follows the standard English alphabetical order. However, when you work with alphabetized Czech records, use the Czech alphabetical order.

Spelling[edit | edit source]

Spelling rules were not standardized in earlier centuries. In Czech, the following spelling variations are common:

i, y and j used interchangeably
s and z used interchangeably
w used for v
rz used for ř
sz used for š
cz used for č

In Czech words are pronounced as they are written.

Additional Resources[edit | edit source]

This word list includes the words most commonly found in genealogical sources. For further help, use a Czech-English dictionary. Several are available at the Family History Library in the European collection. The call numbers begin with 491.86321. The following dictionary is helpful when you do genealogical research and is available through most bookstores which carry Czech books:

  • Fronek, Josef. Anglicko-český, česko-anglický slovník. (English-Czech, Czech-English dictionary). Praha: Leda, 2003, c1998. (FHL book 491.86321)

The following dictionary is also available on microfilm and microfiche for use in Family History Centers:

  • Cheshire, Harold T. Česko-anglický slovník. (Czech-English Dictionary). Praha: J. Otto, 1935. (FHL book 491.86321 C424c; film 1181683 item 1-2; fiche 6001286-6001287).

Additional dictionaries are listed in the Subject section of the FamilySearch Catalog under CZECH LANGUAGE—DICTIONARIES or in the Locality section under CZECH REPUBLIC—LANGUAGE AND LANGUAGES. These include other dictionaries and language helps, such as Czech grammar books.

You could also use an online translator such as Google translate.
