Berete karty?

When to use

Use this question when you are at the checkout and want to know if you can pay using a credit or debit card.

How it works

This is a question using the verb 'brát' (to take) in the present tense. 'Karty' is the plural of 'karta' (card) in the accusative case.

• Berete: you take/accept (formal 'vy' form)
• karty: cards (accusative plural of 'karta')

Register and Formality

The verb 'Berete' uses the second-person plural form, which also serves as the polite formal 'vy' address. This is polite and appropriate for addressing shop staff, making it the standard way to ask this question in a commercial setting.

Grammar Notes

The verb 'brát' (to take) is used here in the sense of 'to accept'. 'Karty' is the accusative plural of 'karta' (card), as it is the direct object of the verb.

Cultural Note

While card payments are common, it's always good to ask, especially in smaller shops or markets, as cash might still be preferred or required.

Notes

Ask if credit or debit cards are accepted for payment.
