This is the 13th most frequent Czech word.


The Czech word "už" means "already" or "no longer," depending on context.


Here, 'už' implies 'already' and denotes that the action has been completed before the present moment.

Už jsem to viděl.

I have already seen it.


In this case, 'už' conveys 'anymore', indicating a change from a previous state to the current condition.

Už nejsem dítě.

I am not a child anymore.


Here, 'už' communicates the urgency or the appropriateness of an action at the present moment.

Už je čas jít.

It is time to go already.
