Fun fact about Czech: Czech nouns are declensed (declined?) according to some sample words that are declensed (declined?) in a specific way.
i.e. For example, the word “tráva” (grass) is declensed (declined?) the same way as “žena” (woman).
However, the sample word “stavení” (building) is declensed (declined?) in singular like this:
1. (nom.) stavení
2. (gen.) stavení
3. (dat.) stavení
4. (acc.) stavení
5. (voc.) Stavení!
6. (loc.) stavení
7. (inst.) stavením
For comparison, here is the declension for the “žena” mentioned above:
1. (nom.) žena
2. (gen.) ženy
3. (dat.) ženě
4. (acc.) ženu
5. (voc.) Ženo!
6. (loc.) ženě
7. (inst.) ženou

In Turkish, there is a “Ğ” letter and it is called “soft G”.
I'm not kidding. Everyone calls it in that way.
Because while reading a word that letter in it, you are reading it like passing it.

Fun Fact: There are no Turkish words starting with “Ğ”.Similar fun fact: there are no Russian words starting with “ь” or “ъ”; they exist to palataliize the consonant that occurs before it (when there is no vowel sound) or indicate that it should not be palatalized, respectively.

They can't occur at the beginning, but they are important in the middle and at the end.

In many Proto-Indo-European languages (including English), the words “stallion”, “mare” and “foal” are all different roots. But Czech adds one more thing: “mare” and “cricket” share the same root.

The Czech word for “jigsaw puzzle” is “puzzle”. But just look…
1. Official English pronunciation: /'pʌzəl/
2. My English pronunciation: /pʌzl/
3. Russian pronunciation: /pazl/
4. Czech pronunciation: /'putslɛ/
1 and 2 are really similar (so are 2 and 3), 1 and 3 are just similar… but 4 only shares two sounds with all the other ones.
Note: I have to use /these/ instead of four-angled brackets because it won't display them!
Another note: and it won't display the correct name for those brackets, too!

By the way, I once saw that “phone case” (as in “briefcase”, “suitcase”…) has been translated into Russian as “телефонный случай” (“phone case”, but as in “in this case, you should…”).

There used to be a vocative case in Russian, but they removed it, because the word in it was always the same as in the nominative case.
