4.7 – Describing Clothes – Patterns
We’ve already gotten some practice with describing the color of clothes, now let’s talk about patterns.
kostkovaný – checkered/plaid |
pruhovaný/proužkovaný – striped |
puntíkovaný – polka-dotted |
květinový vzor – flower pattern |
In fact, if you want to be really specific (right!?!?), then you can specify the colors using our combined adjectives:
červeno-černá kostkovaná košile – checkered/plaid |
zelené pruhované tričko – green striped shirt |
růžová puntíkovaná sukně s kapsami – pink and white polka-dotted with pockets |
Květovaná halenka / Halenka s květinovým vzorem. A blouse with a floral pattern. |
Note – being able to describe clothes in this much detail in terms of patterns is totally not necessary, as a beginning student, but is good practice and you can use this as a reference as you become more advanced with the language.
