THE YEARS BE GOOD TO U—You're looking so fine, CSA, nobody would even guess you are 154 today! Just think it all started in Jakub Mottl's tavern on a chilly night. Oh what the warmth of firelight, a little grog and thoughts of fraternalism caused.
I found this surfing on the internet....
CZECH FUN PHRASE—Czech is a Slavic language that dates back to the 11th century. It belongs to the "synthetic" language group, which means that unlike English and other "analytical" languages, different grammatical aspects are expressed in one word by changing the structure of that word - adding an ending or prefix, modifying the core of the word, etc. In analytical languages such as English, the same is achieved by using separate auxiliary verbs, pronouns or adjectives while the actual word remains unchanged. In Czech, one word is often sufficient to express what English can only achieve by using multiple words.
Examples:
In this example, the English verb "go" does not change and needs 1 - 3 "assistant" words (the pronoun and the auxiliary "will", "not" or "do"), whereas in Czech, the verb acts like an all-in-one package:
I go - jdu
I will go - pujdu
you go - jdes
we go - jdeme
