We love hearing your feedback & thoughts on the video's, so don't hesitate to comment down below! Which fact was your absolute favourite?

[spaggy]

I'm Czech, but I've never heard of an ugly sweater day in the Czech Republic. I don't even know anyone who celebrates it. No, there's really no such holiday here. Maybe just a few people, but only as a recession. I even had to Google it to find out if such a holiday even exists.

[dariuszklimczyk]

Czesi to fajni ludzie, mają wielki wkład w rozwój cywilizacji. Jaroslaw Hasek był Czechem. Napisał genialną książkę, która każdemu normalnemu człowiekowi pokazuje jak się powinien zachowywać.Gdyby wszyscy na całym świecie przeczytali Przygody Dobrego Wojaka Szwejka i zrozumieli, to świat byłby piękniejszy. Pozdrawiam Braci Czechów z Polski.

[vladapolacek]

alright lets say it...There is no "ugly sweater day in Czech Republic"

[dudoklasovity]

Ugly sweater contest is American thing. No one in Prague does that, perhaps employees of some multinational global corporate companies that are in Prague do that, but it's not a Czech thing to do it's imported.

[JO]

I'm Czech, but I've never heard of an ugly sweater day in the Czech Republic...

[kushin]

Why is Trdelnik stuck with us? We never have anything to do with that thing. The only ones who say it's a traditional Czech delicacy are tourist traps

[palacinkasmarmeladou]

The pronunciation of Czech names in this video was painful to listen to. If I wouldn't see the captions I had no idea what you are saying

[Garbatko]

I am Czech.... so, for people Who like nature, we have a great navigation system in forrestr for walkway and longer trips. I did not meet such a good system anywhere

[karolinakartist]

We don't breed Lipizzaner horses in Kladruby nad Labem. We breed "Starokladrubský bělouš" (white coat) in Kladruby and "Starokladrubský vraník" (black coat version) in Slatiňany. Lipizzaner was only one of the breeds, that were used to revive Starokladrubský vraník, because it was nearly extinct (or sold out to other countries) in 1930s. This breed is our national origin, and part of UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1995.

you forgot the fact that Contact lenses are a Czech invention, invented by Otto Wichterle (27th October 1913 Prostějov - 18th August 1998 Stražisko) and he created the first version on a device which he made using Merkur (it is a Czech metal building toy kit, which has been sold since the mid-twenties of the 20th century

[TristanFaransa]

May we know why you consider bizarre those 48 facts?
"The South Moravian region is famous for its wine", hey, wow, that's so bizarre, isn't it?
Yes, the Czech transportation system in the CZ is very efficient, is that really bizarre?
May we also know why all this make Czech Republic the strangest country in Europe?
About the ugly t-shirt... I guess you were joking.

[vyehzbv]

Too much info on Prague, the capital. But Czechia is not about Prague that much.

[nikkimannbooks]

Czech person here: Nope, there is no Ugly Sweater Day... It's a hilarious idea, though 😁😁😁

[kmartyCZ]

"Macocha" isn't pronounced the way as in video (if it would, it would have name "Makoša". Which isn't). The closer pronunciation is rather "matsocha" (where "ch" digraph doesn't have english equivalent. The closest is "ch" in scottish "loch" or "j" in "jalapeño". There's no "k" in resulted sound).
EDIT: Generaly "c" is _never_ pronounced as "k" in Czech (so "Olomouc", in video pronounced as "Olomouk", is prononounced rather as "Olomouts". For english speaker, simply replace any occuring "c" (except "ch" which is considered as one letter and has different pronunciation) as "ts", it will be much closer to correct pronunciation.
EDIT2: "Trdelnik" is not Czech thing, it is simply a tourist trap.
EDIT3: "Dačice" is pronounced as "Datshitseh" (funny, I know). I guess here strikes flexion of slavic language, because the city is "Dačice" but if you want to say "from Dačice", it is "z Dačic".
Number 18 - never heard of it.
Number 27 - correct pronunciation of "Lednice-Valtice" is rather "Lednitseh-Valtitseh" (where "n" in "Lednice" sounds like "ny" in english "canyon" and similarly softened is also "t" in "Valtice"). If it would be written as pronounced in video, it would be "Ledniči-Valtiči".
Number 39 - "Karel Čapek" should be pronounced more like "Karel Tshapek" or "Karel Czapek". Pronunciation in video would fit for "Karel Kapek"
Number 40 - I'm czech, but this I've ever seen just in YT videos, never IRL.
Number 46 - "Kamenický Šenov" ("kamenitskeeh shenov") is in video pronounced as "kamenitchkeeh seniov" (luckily for any curious visitor it is also written in video, because otherwise it wouldn't ever find it based on how it is pronounced).
Number 48 - "Mikuláš". Generaly "š" is always pronounced more like "sh" in english.

It maybe looks like "you did it only wrong", but no. Overall it was quite good, just the pronunciation is ... tricky.

2. 0:41 The Czech flag does not symbolise the historical coat of arms. The historical colours of the Czech kingdoms are red and white, the bicolour on the war banner and the white lion on the red coat of arms. These colours have been used since the 13th century, as far back as the Roman Empire and later the Austria-Hungary Empire, until the creation of Czechoslovakia in 1918, part of which war Transcarpathian (today part of Ukraine).

The newly formed Poland and Austria also had red and white (previously mostly part of the Czech Kingdom). This created the need for a new flag, the blue wedge symbolizing Slovakia (today it is an independent state).

10. 2:34 The "trdelník" is not traditional, it is Hungarian and has been sold in Prague for the last 10-15 years at most. Traditional is "koláč" thin round cake with with poppy seeds, curd cheese and fruit jam. Or "chlebíček" with potato salad, egg, ham and cucumber. In English, that would be described as open sandwich.

14. 3:32 Fun fact: The "dollar" derives its name from the "tolar", which was the historical currency of the Czech kingdoms since 1520.

18. 4:37 There is no such holiday and no one wears knitted sweaters at Christmas.

[milosheckalkoholec]

Well, even if i dont mind the pronunciation of czech words, there is a lot of mistakes.
6) Havel wasnt even in Prague on 17. 11. 1989. He got more involved in the aftermath of that. 10) Trdelnik is not czech traditional pastry. 18) There is no tradition "Ugly Sweater Day". Only in the 80 we all wore ugly sweaters and we all hated it. 21) Lipizzaner horses are breeded in Kladruby, however they are not cariage pulling horses. Those are Kladruber Horses. 22) I dont think its possible to test this acustic properties due to trafic. Probably better mention would be "Kolonáda" in Kroměříž and its unique acustic properties. 38) and 45) could be in one spot. 47) "Silonky" was a czech invention. And a photo of "silonky" would be usefull.
These are the ones i picked, maybe there are more. And sorry for my mistakes in english.

[lolcz]

My Czech brain is getting stroke from the pronunciations of these czech words 🤯🤯🤯

[stefun]

this video will offend many czech people. Wrong pronunciation and inaccurate facts but bizzare fact 49 - we like to complain :D

[MiladaKaiser]

Czech people obviously do not like exaggeration and mispronouncing of their places.
