معنی
Don't celebrate too early.
زمینه فرهنگی
Czechs are known for their 'grounded' nature. This proverb is a key part of the national identity, reflecting a preference for certainty over hope. Slovaks use the exact same proverb ('Nekrič hop, kým nepreskočíš'). The cultural meaning is identical due to shared history. The 'jump' metaphor is common across Slavic nations, reflecting a shared history of navigating difficult terrain on foot. In the age of social media, this proverb is often used as a hashtag (#nekrichop) when people post about 'work in progress' projects.
The 'Short' Version
In casual conversation, you can just say 'Nekřič hop!' and everyone will know exactly what you mean.
Don't forget the 'NE'
Saying 'dokud přeskočíš' sounds like you are waiting for the jump to happen before you *start* shouting, which is logically confusing in Czech.
