frezien Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 So why is her last name different? Her last name is the same. It's czech grammar that makes it seemingly different. If Dominik Hašek was a woman, his name would be exactly the same as the name of his daughter: Dominika Hašková. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frezien Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 You mean Nolnová. :) Actually, it should be Nolanová. Czech grammar is quite difficult :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobody Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 Actually, it should be Nolanová. Czech grammar is quite difficult :-) So what - keep the a's but get rid of the e's? Or does it have to do with that little squiggle thing over the s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frezien Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 So what - keep the a's but get rid of the e's? Or does it have to do with that little squiggle thing over the s? It's much more complicated. If you keep, get rid of or change certain letter depends on the number and the order and the type of consonants and vowels in the last name. For example Hašek or Zedek get rid of "e" and change to Hašková or Zedková, but sometimes "e" stays: Kadlec -> Kadlecová, Bureš -> Burešová. Sometimes another letter is added in the feminine gender, for example Dítě -> Dítětová. And sometimes it remains unchanged, usually when the last name ends with "i", for example Krejčí -> Krejčí. In addition, there are some other exceptions :-) That little squiggle thing over the "s" makes from "s" the letter "š", which is pronounced differently. "Š" is pronounced like "sh" in the word "shining". Similarly, "c" is pronounced like "ts" in "pets", but "č" sounds like "cz" in "czech" or "ch" in "check".
