Czech[edit]
Alternative forms[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Inherited from Old Czech z, ze, from Proto-Slavic *jьz, from Proto-Indo-European *h₁eǵʰs.
Pronunciation[edit]
Preposition[edit]
z [+genitive]
- from
- Toto víno pochází z Francie. ― This wine comes from France.
- out of
- Pět z deseti doktorů doporučuje tuto zubní pastu. ― Five out of ten doctors recommend this toothpaste.
Usage notes[edit]
- The more usual form is z, while ze is used before words starting with s, z and certain consonant clusters.
- In certain contexts (in the meaning "out of the surface" or "down from the surface") the preposition s, which normally requires instrumental case, can be used synonymously requiring the genitive case. This use of the preposition s is dated though and is mainly seen in older literature.
- spadnout z/s kopce ― to fall down the hill
- sundat něco ze/se skříně ― to take something off the cupboard

- Pochodzę z Francji. ― I come from France.
- Pochodzę ze Szwecji. ― I come from Sweden.
