==Introduction==


==Czech Genealogical Word List==
The '''Czech Genealogical Word List''' contains Czech words and their English translations for many words that are found in documents used to research Czech ancestors. Click [[Media:WLCzech.pdf|here]] for the PDF version of the Czech Genealogical Word List.  
===Czech===
 
This list contains Czech words with their English translations. The words included here are those that you are likely to find in genealogical sources. If the word (or some form of it) that you are looking for is not on this list, please consult a Czech-English dictionary. (See the "Additional Resources" section.) 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.''

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.

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.

In genealogical sources surnames may also be spelled in the language of the the text. In German text, Czech surnames may be spelled according to German phonetics. 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).

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:

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):

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:


=== Variant Forms of Words ===
*''dvacátého osmého srpna, jeden tisíc osm set'' ''padesát dva''
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''&nbsp; 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.
*[on the twenty-eighth of August, one thousand eight hundred fifty and two]  28 August 1852


'''''Surnames.''''' Surnames will have the added ending ''-ová'' or ''-á''&nbsp; if the person referred to is female:
===Months of the Year===


'''''Gender.'''''&nbsp; 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:
Czech dates are always given in day-month-year order. Months are often abbreviated using a Roman numeral.  


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.'' <br>
For example, 25 February 1848 could be written as:<br>    25. února 1848<br>     25. 2. 1848<br>    25. II. 1848


The endings of past tense verbs also change, depending on the gender of the subject.&nbsp;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.
The months listed below are shown in their standard form and in the possessive form used in writing dates:


'''''Plurals.&nbsp;'''''Plural forms of Czech words usually change the singular word:

* ''ulice'' street&nbsp; ''ulice'' streets
==General Word List==


Words ending in a consonant add ''-y.''&nbsp; A few words add ''-i, -ové,''or ''-e'' to form the plural:
This general word list includes words commonly seen in genealogical sources. Numbers, months, and days of the week are listed both here and in separate sections that follow this list. In this list, optional versions of Czech words or variable endings (such as some plural or feminine endings) are given in parentheses. Some Czech phrases and their translations are listed [in brackets] under the most significant Czech word, not the first word, of the phrase. Words in parentheses in the English column clarify the definition.


* ''list'' page &nbsp; ''listy''&nbsp; pages

'''''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''&nbsp; or -''e'':<br>


* ''bratr'' brother&nbsp; ''bratra'' of brother

'''''''''Alphabetical Order'''
{{CompactTOC8|name=Words starting with|center=no|side=yes|w=}}


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:
====I====

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


* ''i'', ''y,''and ''j'' used interchangeably
{{CompactTOC8|name=Words starting with|center=no|side=yes|w=}}
* ''s'' and ''z'' used interchangeably
* ''w'' used for ''v''
* ''rz'' used for&nbsp;''ř''<br>
* ''sz'' used for ''š''
* ''cz'' used for č


Czech is a phonetic language, which means words are pronounced as they are written.

=== Numbers ===
====S====
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)
'''S, Š'''
