Bedeutung
Pointing out the location of an object.
Kultureller Hintergrund
In Czech shops, it is common to place money on a small plastic tray (mistička) rather than handing it directly to the person. When you do this, you can say 'Tady je to' or 'Prosím'. When visiting a Czech home, the host will often show you around using 'Tady je...'. 'Tady je to' is used specifically when they show you the one thing you asked for, like the bathroom or a glass of water. Waiters in Prague often use 'Prosím' (Please) as a shorthand for 'Here you go'. Using 'Tady je to' is slightly more descriptive and helpful for tourists. Czechs value brevity. If you say 'Tady je to' and nothing else, it is not considered rude; it is seen as efficient communication.
The 'Prosím' trick
If you forget 'Tady je to' while handing something over, just say 'Prosím'. It is the universal Czech 'politeness' word and works perfectly as 'Here you go'.
