PEAZIT Aha card
Go straight to resources ↓Czech: listed words after L
In Czech roots, membership in a listed word family determines y/ý. Slyšet has y, but slíbit has í. Similar-looking beginnings do not make words related.
| Example | Reasoning |
|---|---|
| slyšet → neslyšný | The meaning concerns hearing; a related word retains y. |
| slíbit → slib | This is a promise, not hearing. Write i/í. |
One worked example
- slyšet → neslyšnýThe meaning concerns hearing; a related word retains y.
