Mít čas

To have time

意思

Being available or not busy.

🌍

文化背景

The 'Chata' culture: On Friday afternoons, many Czechs 'nemají čas' because they are leaving for their country cottages. This is a sacred time. Asking 'Máš čas na jedno?' is the ultimate social invitation. It's rarely just one beer; it's an invitation for a long talk. In Czech offices, saying 'nemám čas' is not necessarily rude; it's seen as being direct about one's workload. Czechs generally value punctuality, but once a social event starts, they 'mají čas'—they don't like to rush the experience.

🎯

The 'Na' Rule

Always use 'na' + accusative for the thing you have time for. 'Mám čas na tebe' (I have time for you).

⚠️

Avoid 'Jsem volný'

Unless you are looking for a date or just got out of jail, stick to 'Mám čas'.
