Significado
Asking for a repeat of an action.
Contexto cultural
In Czech pubs, the 'Ještě jednou' culture is very strong. Waiters often don't ask if you want another beer; they just look for a nod or the phrase 'Ještě jednou'. Czech students are taught to be very polite with teachers. Using 'Ještě jednou, prosím' is seen as a sign of respect and active listening. At the end of a concert, the audience will clap rhythmically and chant 'Ještě jednou!' to bring the artist back for an encore. Czech parents use the phrase to discipline children, often saying 'Ještě jednou a uvidíš!' (One more time and you'll see!), implying a threat of punishment.
The 'Prosím' Rule
Always add 'prosím' at the end. Without it, 'Ještě jednou' can sound like a command rather than a request.
Pub Etiquette
If the pub is loud, just hold up one finger and mouth the words 'Ještě jednou'. The waiter will understand immediately.

Don't say 'Jeden víc'
English speakers often say 'one more' as 'jeden víc'. This is grammatically incorrect in Czech for repetition.

If you are at a Czech theater, don't shout 'Encore!'. Shout 'Ještě jednou!' or 'Opakovat!'

Perguntas frequentes

'Ještě jednou' is 'one more time' (immediate), while 'Znovu' is 'again' (can be later or starting over).
You say 'Ještě dvakrát'.
Rarely. In formal writing, 'Opět' or 'Znovu' are preferred.
Perfect usage! 'Pardon, ještě jednou to číslo?'
No, that is just 'Byl jednou jeden...'. Adding 'ještě' changes the meaning to repetition.
