Live and learn, as they say. Recently learned a new word and I'm in a hurry to share it with you.

Maybe someone didn't know, but the word "coward" in Czech sounds like "sráč". Interestingly, in Russian "srach" is either when it's dirty at home, or a synonym for the word "quarrel". Well, I've also heard that srach is such a person who talks too much.

But recently I heard a word and didn't understand - what is this at all? Meet:

SRALBOTKA

Sralbotka is such a soft Czech word for coward. Like you can call your children this when they're afraid to do something.

Example:

• Hey, Slavik, let's go chat up those girls?

• No, I have to work tomorrow.

• Well, you, Slavik, are such a sralbotka

Well, and to reinforce the image of sralbotka, I asked Czech friends to say who among sralbotkas comes to their mind first. The answer was this:

In general, learn Czech together with Fedyan!
