معنی
Literally 'to have fear'.
زمینه فرهنگی
Czechs often use 'mít strach' as a form of social bonding, sharing worries about politics or the economy as a way to relate to others. There is a shared cultural trope of the 'fearful but brave' soldier (like Švejk), who admits fear but continues anyway. Many Czech fairy tales involve a protagonist who 'doesn't know what fear is' (neví, co je strach) and must go on a quest to learn it. Czech parents are very vocal with 'Neměj strach', reflecting a culture that prioritizes emotional reassurance for children.
The 'Z' Rule
Always remember: Fear of a THING = Z + Genitive. Mám strach z pavouka.
No 'Jsem'
Never say 'Jsem strach'. It makes you sound like you are the personification of fear itself!
