Czech

Etymology

From Old Czech smědý (where m changed into n probably because of the resemblance with hnědý (brown)), from Proto-Slavic *smědъ, whose origin is ambiguous. It might come from Proto-Indo-European *směh₁- (to dirty).[1]

Adjective

      „Žofie ví jen to, že ten chlap sice mluvil velice dobře česky, ale trochu ráčkoval a jinak byl prý podivně snědý.“
      Snědý?“
      „Ano tak to vypověděla, jakoby prý byl odněkud z východu.“
      "Žofie only knows that the dude spoke Czech very well but mispronounced slightly ‚r‘ and also was strangely dark-skinned."
      "Dark-skinned?"
      "Yes, that's what she said, as if he was somewhere from the east."
