Lesson 11– Numbers 0-10

Hello everyone,

     it's been almost a month since my last lesson so my remorses started doing their work and here I am writing, baby!

      I've figured out that nobody would continue learning if I started talking about all the cases back and forward, forward back, upside down, downside up. Therefore I decided to start BUT I'm not going to dedicate next seven lessons to cases only. There will probably be (if I get around to do it = when I feel not so lazy as usual) a few vocabulary, different grammar (the important parts for beginners), and conversational lessons and me chattering about latest news that nobody cares about. Seems like a lot of fun, huh?

      Today's lesson is very special. People usually learn this when they're in kindergartens but we were too awesome to do it. Wait, there's no point in doing an epic intro for this topic because I've already named the post after it. Phhhhhhhit.

Čísla od 0 do 10

0    nula ['noo-lah]

1    jedna ['ye-dnah]

2    dva ['dvah]

3    tři ['trzi]

4    čtyři ['tchtee-rzie]

5    pět ['pyet]

6    šest ['shest]

7    sedm ['seh-dm]

8    osm ['oa-sm]

9    devět ['de-vyet]

10  deset ['deh-set]

     Nula is declined according to žena paradigm. Jedna and dva have masculine, neuter, and feminine forms:

Jeden stůl. Jedna židle. Jedno kolo.
Dva stoly. Dvě židle. Dvě kola.

      So science, such knowledge, huh?
     And every numeral can be declined.

VOCABULARY:
Calm down, it's just three words.

číslo, n. (čísla; prdg. město) ['tchee:sloh] number; noun
od ['odd] from, since; prep.
do ['doh] to; prep.

PS: This is my first post from my new bedroom! Yay!

Prdg. ŽENA (škola) – Declension

Žena

      SINGULAR                                                     PLURAL

1) (nominative)    žena                                     1) ženy

2) (genitive)         ženy                                     2) žen

3) (dative)            ženě (škole)                         3) ženám

4) (accusative)     ženu                                     4) ženy

5) (vocative)        ženo                                     5) ženy

6) (locative)         ženě (škole)                         6) ženách

7) (instrumental) ženou                                    7) ženami

Škola represents another forms of singular dative and locative cases because some nouns declined according to žena sounded weird with the suffix -ě so it was replaced with the suffix -e. In my dictionary, nouns declined according to the paradigm škola (declined the same way as žena except for the two endings) are assigned the paradigm škola.

Sometimes I'm so mad that I cannot even write...

But today I laughed so hard that I couldn't write. I just thought I'd share my today's typos with you.

The first one:
(2 hours ago) Him: Hi! :)
(now) Me: I wish ppl would stop sending me messages when I'm hot online. -_-
                 Nooooo, I meant "NOT ONLINE"...

The second one:
Him: How did you change your name on fb? I want dat too!
Me: Gimme your assword and I'll do it for ya 3:-) :D
        Urrrrrrgh, you know what I meant -_-

That's all. I know, the most pointless article you've ever seen but I found it funny two hours ago... And felt guilty for not posting so long.

Why Run

Not everyone is a runner as talented as Forest Gump but why not run? There are plenty of health benefits of running but I'm not going to brag about losing weight, making you live longer and those we all know. I found some interesting facts on the Internet (such a reliable source, I know). I'll make a list. No, I'm not obsessed with making lists...pfff.

1. Strenghtening your joints and bones 

Yes. The myth about how running destroys your knees is not truth (under normal conditions). If you already have "knee issues" you can reduce damage done to your knees by not running on asphalt or concrete surfaces. In case you're overweight, you should lose some kilos in order not to cause some injury to your knee. (Try swimming.) Running strenghtens your ankles, knees and other joints used while running. Dot.

2. Goodbye to depression, anxiety and stress

It was scientifically proven that any type of exercising reduces stress and fills your brain (especially the part called nucleus accumbens, I guess) with endocannabinoids (one type of hormones that make you feel happy). Runners also report that while running they think clearer and find solutions easily and sleep better. As any substance that makes us happier even these hormones can be addictive. Once you experience the feeling of relaxation during running, you won't want to stop and you will not regret it. 

3. Reducing the risk of cancer and preventing other diseases

Read more here.

4. Boosting your metabolism 

And so on. 

There are lots of articles on health benefits of running so go through them. 

What made me write this is that I have many, many, many tips for you. 

How to make yourself run and keep running

If you don't enjoy running itself or struggle to run (due to an illness), you might find the following list useful. Again, I'm not obsessed with making lists.

Get an app for runners.

It's much better and cheaper than buying special equipment for runners. I prefer Sports Tracker because there's enough information, I like the design and I don't have any problems finding satellites. You can watch your progress, you have a training diary included, you can share your results on their website: www.sports-tracker.com. And it's free.

Tell your friends

Tell them to download the app and run with you; you can compete. You won't be able to stop because once you tell you friends to start running with you, they won't let you stop. If you have the "red face" issue and don't want anyone to see you while running, this is the best way to run "with" someone. 

Take your dog with you

I'm sure it will be happy to get some fresh air more than three times a day when walking it. In addition, dogs are always active so if you want to stop to catch your breath, it will keep you moving which is good for you (usually). If you have a dog, a male dog, walk him before you run– I'm sure you don't want to stop at every tree, grass, pole, or person you meet. Also, you should watch it constantly since they really like to cross your way (my own experience... ouch). 

Choose wisely where you'll go running

I know– nobody likes to be watched when running (especially those with the "red face" issue– don't worry, most people have it, even I do, but I turn blue and purple because I like these colours ^^ And have struggles getting oxigen into my lungs.). However, if you live near a forest, where a wild boar can appear, watch out and take a telephone with you. In Sweden, you can go running literally anywhere. 

Well, that's probably all I wanted to say. My main goal wasn't to give you these advices, I want to make people do sports because lately I've seen so many obese children and overweight adults... Everything gets extreme...

Love & peace
