8.7 – poprvé, podruhé… – for the first time, the second time…

University life is a time of firsts: oftentimes living alone, being in a new city, meeting new friends, learning new subjects, etc. Here are a few useful ones:

poprvé

for the first time

podruhé

for the second time

potřetí

for the third time

počtvrté

for the fourth time

popáté

for the fifth time

As you can see, these are formed by combining po the ordinal number (which is incidentally in the neuter singular form, though you don’t need to worry about that beyond learning the terms above).

Finally, if you ever want to say “Every time I…”, use pokaždé, když...
