When to use

This is a direct question to ask for guidance on which path to take, especially when you're at a junction or unsure of the best way forward.

Grammar and Structure

'Kudy' is an interrogative adverb meaning 'which way' or 'how'. 'Mám jít' means 'should I go', using the verb 'mít' (to have) in a modal sense to express obligation or advice, followed by the infinitive 'jít' (to go).

How it works

The phrase breaks down into these functional parts:

• Kudy: which way; interrogative adverb of manner
• mám: I have; first-person singular of 'mít' (to have), used here as 'I should'
• jít: to go; imperfective infinitive verb

Natural Replies

Notes

Ask for directions when faced with multiple route options.
