뜻
Possessive phrase for a family member.
문화적 배경
The term 'sestra' is universally used for nurses. Patients often call them 'sestřičko' (little sister) as a sign of affection and respect. Siblings often have a strong bond. It's common for adult sisters to spend a lot of time together, often helping with each other's children. The informal 'ségra' shows the heavy influence of German on the Czech language during the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In the Catholic Church, which has a historical presence in Czechia, 'sestra' is used for nuns, often with the prefix 'řeholní' (religious).
Use 'ségra' with friends
If you want to sound like a local, use 'ségra' when talking to people your own age.
Watch the gender!
Never say 'můj sestra'. It's a very obvious mistake that marks you as a beginner.
