    Zdar,

    it means: A mole farted through the turf, having first devoured a handful of seeds.

    Note, however, that some of the words are used in a non-standard way to make the tongue twister more twisting.
    Normally you would say:

    "Krtek si uprdl skrz drn, když předtím zhltl hrst zrn."

    Depends on what form your worship is going to take.
    If it's interesting enough, I can send you a sound file with my very own noble voice pronouncing it.

    I can't offer a worship, but I would really be very, very, very appreciated if you (or other person) could post a sound file with this phrase Prd krt skrz drn, zprv zhlt hrst zrn (7). I'm dying of curiosity of hearing it Prd krt skrz drn, zprv zhlt hrst zrn (8).

    I've recorded it but the file size is far greater than allowed by this site for attachments.

    Ahoj,

    Winpoje, děkuji vám tak velmi moc pěkně!

    You should have a User deity status from now!

    Now we're going to bulit a Svatého Winpoj Chrám (or something like that).

    Really amazing... probably now your throat is hurting a lot.

    You, Czechs, should do some conquests of "non-vowel phrases" in the Karlův most or in front of Pražský hrad for the tourists. But, after that, no one would learn Czech again in the world Prd krt skrz drn, zprv zhlt hrst zrn (13)

    Ahoj,

    But is there a really phrase, something that we could hear in a everyday conversation, without vowels?

    At least Strč prst skrz krk is a little possible to be heard, perhaps bulimics or some kind of examination perhaps.

    Awesome sound file. My wife's brother (Australian) just married a Czeck girl in Brno and I went there for the wedding and loved it. Love the language and spent all my 4 weeks there trying to learn terms and count to ten etc. Now I'm trying to learn more for my next trip. Hearing pronunciation like that is pretty scary though. I couldn't repeat that if my life depended on it.

    Don't be scared, Glug. Bear in mind these are tongue twisters. You'll hardly hear so many consecutive consonant clusters in everyday language. The key is to understand that "l" and "r" in Czech can function like vowels (they are syllabic). It can be learnt with some practice. You might want to please your new relatives by starting with "Brno" - just two syllables: br-no.

    . It can be learnt with some practice. You might want to please your new relatives by starting with "Brno" - just two syllables: br-no.

    A doubt, the pronunciation of Bratr/Bratra and Petr/Petra, for example, could be heared as the same? I have some difficulty with these final r's so I usually some a to it.

    So, my pronunciation of these words, in phrase like these tend to be the same.

    The pronunciation of "bratr" is clearly distinct from that of "bratra".

    Hi, links on Youtube are forbidden, but I'll respond you.

    If you switch from Brazilian Portuguese to Portuguese Portuguese , then you'll speak almost the same kind of language. The vowels in Portuguese Portuguese are there only in the written text, but they are not pronounced, except the stess bearing one. My favourite until now is rçpçã.
