A1 Idiom ニュートラル

Mít pravdu

To be right

意味

Literally 'to have truth'.

🌍

文化的背景

The phrase 'Pravda vítězí' (Truth prevails) is the national motto. It appears on the flag of the President of the Czech Republic. Jan Hus, a key figure in Czech history, emphasized truth as a moral imperative, which deeply influenced the language. Czechs often use 'Máš pravdu' to avoid conflict, even if they don't fully agree, as a way to end a circular argument. In Czech political talk shows, 'Máte pravdu v tom, že...' is a common way for politicians to partially agree before attacking.

⚠️

The 'To Be' Trap

Never say 'Jsem pravda'. It's the #1 mistake for English speakers. Stick to 'Mám'.

🎯

Softening Disagreement

If you want to say someone is wrong politely, say 'Myslím, že nemáte úplně pravdu' (I think you aren't entirely right).

Yes, but 'To je správně' is more common for technical facts.

Only after the verb 'mít'. In 'To je pravda', it ends with 'a'.

Měla jsi pravdu.

Nemít pravdu or mýlit se (to be mistaken).

It depends on the verb 'mít'. 'Máš' is informal, 'Máte' is formal.
