Preguntas frecuentes
10 preguntasIt is masculine inanimate. 'Vítr' is the noun, and 'silný' is the adjective.
You can, and people will understand you, but it sounds like a child speaking. 'Silný' is much better.
The opposite is 'slabý vítr' (weak wind) or 'bezvětří' (no wind).
You can say 'Je větrno' or 'Fouká vítr'.
Not necessarily. A storm (bouřka) usually involves rain and lightning. 'Silný vítr' is just about the air speed.
This is a common feature in Czech called the 'mobile vowel'. It helps with pronunciation in different cases.
Only metaphorically, e.g., 'silný vítr konkurence' (strong wind of competition).
Usually anything above 40-50 km/h in a standard weather report.
No, for breath use 'dech'.
Not a direct one, but 'fujavec' is an informal word for a cold, windy mess.
