Does it handle all seven Czech cases?

Yes. DeepL applies correct case endings to nouns, adjectives, pronouns, and numerals. This includes tricky patterns like masculine animate vs inanimate distinctions in accusative and genitive.

How well does it handle Czech from Slovak?

Very well. Czech and Slovak are closely related and largely mutually intelligible. DeepL correctly maps vocabulary and grammar differences — Slovak 'krásny' → Czech 'krásný' (beautiful).

Does it produce correct diacritics?

Always. Czech háčky (ˇ) and čárky (´) are produced correctly on all characters. These are not optional accents — they're integral to Czech spelling.

Is the output formal or informal Czech?

Standard written Czech (spisovná čeština). The output avoids colloquial Czech (obecná čeština) which is common in speech but inappropriate for most written contexts.

Translation tips

Seven cases — endings change constantly

Czech nouns, adjectives, and pronouns decline through seven cases: nominative, genitive, dative, accusative, vocative, locative, instrumental. 'Praha' (Prague) becomes 'Prahy', 'Praze', 'Prahou' depending on grammatical function. DeepL applies correct endings throughout.

Háčky and čárky are not decorative

Czech diacritics change pronunciation and meaning: 'š' ≠ 's', 'ž' ≠ 'z', 'č' ≠ 'c'. The háček (ˇ) softens consonants, the čárka (´) lengthens vowels. 'Být' (to be) vs 'byt' (apartment) — one diacritic, different word.

Word order is flexible but meaningful

Czech has free word order thanks to its case system, but order signals emphasis. 'Petr viděl Marii' and 'Marii viděl Petr' both mean 'Petr saw Marie' — but the second emphasizes Petr. DeepL preserves natural Czech word order patterns.

Ř — the sound only Czechs can make

Czech has 'ř' — a raised alveolar trill found in no other language. Words like 'Dvořák', 'řeka' (river), 'tři' (three) use it constantly. While translation doesn't involve pronunciation, correct use of ř in written text is essential.

Did you know? Czech has a word — 'strč prst skrz krk' (stick a finger through the throat) — that contains no vowels at all. The consonants l and r function as syllable nuclei in Czech, making vowelless words common.
