معنی
Expressing surprise or seeking confirmation.
زمینه فرهنگی
Czechs often use 'Opravdu?' as a way to bridge gaps in conversation. It's a sign of 'active listening' (aktivní naslouchání). In Slovakia, the equivalent is 'Naozaj?'. While 'Opravdu' is understood, 'Naozaj' is the native Slovak form. In intellectual circles, 'Opravdu' is often replaced by 'Vskutku' to sound more sophisticated and deliberate. Younger Czechs might find 'Opravdu?' slightly formal and prefer 'Fakt?' or 'Vážně?'.
The Eyebrow Raise
In Czechia, 'Opravdu?' is often accompanied by a slight raise of the eyebrows. This non-verbal cue makes you sound much more native.
Don't Overuse
If you say 'Opravdu?' after every single sentence your partner says, you might start to sound like a broken record or like you don't believe anything they say.
