意思
Water at a low temperature.
文化背景
The tradition of 'otužování' (winter swimming) is a national sport. The most famous event is the Alfred Nikodém Memorial on Christmas Day in the Vltava river. There is a traditional belief that drinking very cold water with ice can cause a sore throat ('angína'). You will often see people drinking water at room temperature. Czechia is famous for its spas (Karlovy Vary, Mariánské Lázně). Some springs are 'studené' (cold) and used for drinking cures, while others are thermal. The Wim Hof method has exploded in popularity in Czechia, leading to a surge in 'studená sprcha' (cold shower) challenges on social media.
Ordering in Prague
If you want free tap water, ask for 'kohoutkovou vodu'. If you just say 'studenou vodu', they might bring you expensive bottled water.
Gender Agreement
Always check the ending. 'Studený' is for beer (pivo is neuter, but wait—pivo is neuter, so it's 'studené pivo'). 'Studený' is for 'čaj' (masculine).
