Kde je nejbližší lékárna?
When to use
Ask this when you need to find a place to buy medication or other pharmacy items, for example, if you are feeling unwell or need a specific product.
How it works
This is a common question structure for asking about location. 'Kde je' means 'Where is', followed by an adjective and a noun.
- Kde je: Where is (question word + 3rd person singular of 'být' - to be)
- nejbližší: Nearest (superlative adjective)
- lékárna: Pharmacy (feminine noun in the nominative case)
Superlative Adjective Agreement
'Nejbližší' is the superlative adjective 'nearest'. It is a soft adjective, which means it ends in '-í' in the nominative singular for all genders. It agrees with the feminine noun 'lékárna' (pharmacy).
Fixed First-Syllable Stress
Like most Czech words, 'Kde', 'nejbližší', and 'lékárna' all have stress on their first syllable. For example, in 'nejbližší', the stress falls on 'nej-'.
Notes
Use this phrase to ask for the location of the nearest pharmacy.
