Okay!
Relax
Welcome to SoundCzech - our
Czech language series in which you
can learn Czech phrases and idioms
through song lyrics.
In today’s edition, we’ll refer to a
song by the popular Czech rock
group, Chinaski. The song is
Tabáček, is from its 2005 album
“Music Bar.” The word to look out
for is pohoda, which translates as
contentment or peace.
There are few words that are as uni-
versally ušed by Czechs in everyday
conversation as the word pohoda. The
word means something like well-
being, contentment or composure, and
has become a reál all-rounder in the
world of Czech words, perhaps best
compared to the English word okay.
If you want to say you are fine or
doing okay, then you’d say — Jsem v
pohodě — which literally translates to
“I am in contentment.” Je to v pohodě
— or even just — V pohodě — is a
phrase that is excessively ušed in col-
loquial Czech to express agreement or
to say that something is fine by you.
Managing something without any
trouble is zvládnout něco v pohodě.
Jarní pohoda is pleasant spring
weather, and if someone’s composure
is cool, they are called a pohodář — a
laid back or calm person, the kind that
Chinaski may be describing in its
song.
Even though the banďs song sub-
ject might háve taken the — po-
hodářství — or coolness a bit too far
enjoying contentment, leisure and to-
bacco, as well as an extended lecture
of the newspaper in his reclining chair,
followed by the realization that he
might be relaxed to the point of being
a lazy, no-good person.
