معنی
Used to apologize or get attention.
زمینه فرهنگی
The 'vykání' system is central. Using 'Promiňte' is a sign of respect for the social hierarchy. The language is very similar to Czech, and 'Prepáčte' is the Slovak equivalent. Polish also uses formal address. 'Przepraszam' is the equivalent and is used in almost identical situations. In the broader region, formal address is a sign of education and good manners.
The 'ň' sound
The 'ň' is a unique Czech sound. Practice saying 'canyon' and focus on the 'ny' sound.
Vykání
Always use the 'te' ending for strangers. It is the golden rule of Czech politeness.
