Let's break down each question and learn how to use them in different situations.
 
=== Jak se jmenuješ? - What is your name? ===
 
When asking for someone's name in Czech, the phrase "Jak se jmenuješ?" is commonly used. Here's an example dialogue:
 
Person A: Ahoj, jak se jmenuješ?
Person B: Ahoj, jmenuji se Markéta.
 
Translation:
Person A: Hi, what is your name?
Person B: Hi, my name is Markéta.
 
To practice, let's look at a table with different names and their pronunciations:
 
{| class="wikitable"
! Czech !! Pronunciation !! English
|-

|-
| Tereza || [ˈtɛrɛza] || Teresa
|-

Person A: Kolik je ti let?
Person B: Je mi dvacet pět let.
 
Translation:
Person A: How old are you?
Person B: I am twenty-five years old.
 
To practice, let's look at a table with different numbers and their pronunciations:
 
{| class="wikitable"

|-
| dvacet || [ˈdvacɛt] || twenty
|-

Now that you know how to ask for personal information, let's learn how to give your own personal information in Czech. Here are some phrases you can use to share your personal information:

=== Jaký je tvůj národnost? - What is your nationality? ===
* Je mi/ Mi je... let/ roků - I am... years old.
* Jsem české/americké národnosti. - I am Czech/American.


It's important to note that you can use the phrases above for both formal and informal situations, but it's always better to start with the formal version (using 'vy') until you are given permission to use the informal (using 'ty').
To ask someone about their nationality in Czech, you can use the phrase "Jaký je tvůj národnost?" Here's an example dialogue:


It's also customary for Czech people to shake hands when greeting and saying goodbye, regardless of the formality of the situation.  
Person A: Jaký je tvůj národnost?
Person B: Jsem Čech/Češka.


To summarize, to ask for someone's personal information - use "Jak se jmenujete?" (formal) or "Jak se jmenuješ?" (informal) for the name. Use "Kolik je vám/je ti let?" (formal/informal) to ask someone's age, and "Které jste jazykové národnosti?" (formal) if you want to know someone's nationality. To give your own personal information use "Jmenuji se..." to share your name, "Je mi/ Mi je... let/ roků" to share your age and "Jsem české/americké národnosti" to share your nationality.
Translation:
Person A: What is your nationality?
Person B: I am Czech.

== Cultural Insights ==
 
Asking for and giving personal information is an important part of Czech culture. When meeting someone for the first time, it is common to exchange names and ask basic questions about each other's background. Czech people value personal relationships and are often interested in getting to know new people on a deeper level. It is also common to address people using their first names, as Czech society has a relatively informal approach to social interactions.
 
In terms of age, Czech people tend to be more private about their age compared to some other cultures. Asking someone about their age, especially if they are older, can be considered impolite or intrusive. However, younger generations are becoming more open to discussing their age, especially in informal settings.
 
When it comes to nationality, the Czech Republic is a multinational country with a diverse population. Czech people are generally proud of their national identity and heritage. However, it is important to approach discussions about nationality with sensitivity, as some individuals may have complex ethnic backgrounds or identify with multiple nationalities.
