معنی
Asking if someone wants to eat.
زمینه فرهنگی
It is common for Czech hosts to ask 'Máte hlad?' multiple times. Even if you say no, they might bring out a plate of 'chlebíčky' (open-faced sandwiches) anyway. In Moravia, food is often accompanied by wine or slivovitz. Asking if someone is hungry is often the first step in a long evening of hospitality. The lunch hour is sacred. If a colleague asks 'Máte hlad?', they are likely inviting you to join the daily 'polední menu' (lunch menu) at a local pub. The 'Hunger Wall' on Petřín Hill is a physical monument to the concept of 'hlad', built to provide relief during a 14th-century famine.
The Negative is More Polite
Asking 'Nemáte hlad?' (Don't you have hunger?) is a very Czech way to be extra polite and less direct.
Avoid 'Jste'
Never say 'Jste hladoví?' unless you are a doctor or in a very formal, dramatic play.
