odctvrtvrstvit
That's a Czech verb, meaning "to remove a quarter of something."
No, I'm not really sure I can pronounce that either.

Does that verb really need to be had?

What is the something of which you're trying to take the quarter from? If that makes sense...

Yep, that's it. I'm sticking with Russian...then again, I remember the second day of my first section of Russian Dr. Collopy wrote something like "poshlu" up on the board and we were all petrified because we couldn't make sense between the ш, л, and the и. Especially in cursive.

Course, now it's all second-nature. But yah...no Czech for me. You've successfully scared me away!!

Oh lord, Russian cursive was nearly the death of me. It has permanently altered my handwriting, and I go through phases of writing half in Cyrillic and half in Latin letters. Ack.

I suppose it's from anything. Like say, a chunk of kolbasa or something...

Don't be afraid of Czech! It's lovely and fun, and there are wonderful things to read.

Well, we offer no Czech here sadly so I suppose that one will have to wait until graduate school.

Maybe I'll start studying Czech when I go to Moscow.
