Mít prázdnou kapsu

To have an empty pocket

معنی

Having no money.

🌍

زمینه فرهنگی

Czechs often value 'frugality' (šetrnost). Admitting you have an empty pocket is not always seen as a failure, but often as a temporary state that everyone experiences. In many Central European cultures, it is common to split the bill ('platit zvlášť'). If you have an empty pocket, you are expected to say so before the meal starts. There is a specific subculture of 'chudí studenti' (poor students) who take pride in finding the cheapest beer and food because they always have 'empty pockets'. In a traditional pub, if you have an empty pocket, you might 'pít na sekeru' (drink on the axe), which means drinking on credit, though this is becoming rare.

💡

The Accusative Rule

Remember that 'mít' always triggers the accusative. If you forget the ending, just say 'nemám peníze' (I don't have money).

⚠️

Don't use with 'jsem'

Saying 'Jsem prázdná kapsa' sounds like you are literally a piece of clothing. Always use 'mám'.

No, it's not rude. It's a very common, slightly informal way to talk about money.

Yes! Even if you have a card, if there's no money on the account, you can say you have an empty pocket.

We usually don't use it in plural for one person. If a group is broke, they say 'Máme prázdné kapsy'.

No, it's too informal for professional settings. Use 'nemáme rozpočet' (we don't have a budget).

You can say 'Mám plnou kapsu', but it's less common than the negative version.

Not usually. It usually means you spent all your money or don't have any.

'Být švorc' is more slang. 'Mít prázdnou kapsu' is a bit more 'polite' informal.

Because it's the feminine accusative case required by the verb 'mít'.
