Nikola měla svátek!!
This is belated. I meant to post it yesterday, but either I forgot to, or I was too busy teaching, I can't remember. Anyway, yesterday (November 20th) was my dear Nikola's name day. Every Czech name has a day in the year in which you are supposed to celebrate the people you know whose name is on that day. So, "štast´ný svátek Nikolko." And here's a good story about her too: just the other day I was eating a sandwich, and a little piece of bread fell off from my crust onto the plate, and Niky laughed like it was one of the funniest things she had ever seen. How can you not love her?
By the way, my name day (Bohumil) is October 3rd (your birthday Ty!). If you want to know how my Czech name becomes "Bohumil", follow closely:
By the way, my name day (Bohumil) is October 3rd (your birthday Ty!). If you want to know how my Czech name becomes "Bohumil", follow closely:
- my name is "Jeffrey"
- from the Olde English "Geoffrey"
- which itself comes from the German "Gottfried"
- "Gottfried" means literally in German "friend of God"
- "friend of God," in Czech, is translated as...
- "Bohumil" (or more literally, "he knew God" -- I think)
