Did you know?
- While žádný problém is used for apologies, Czechs often use the word prosím as a universal response to 'thank you', which literally means 'I pray' or 'please'.
- While žádný problém is a direct translation of 'no problem', older generations of Czechs may find it a modern anglicism and prefer traditional phrases.
- If you are in a very informal setting, you might hear someone respond to an apology with just Není co (literally 'there is nothing to'), which is a shorthand for 'there is nothing to apologize for'.
