This list of the 1000 most common words is the result of a statistical analysis which we performed on a large number of Czech-language texts such as news articles and other texts available on the internet.
Czech is an inflected language which means that word endings change to indicate grammatical cases when those words are used in a sentence. This required us to convert the words to their uninflected dictionary form before counting their occurrences in the texts and sorting them by decreasing order of frequency.
Czech is a Slavic language, so most Czech vocabulary words originate from Slavic roots but there are also some loanwords from other languages, in particular Latin and German.
In Czech, as in most languages, the most frequently-used words are generally shorter than the less frequently-used words. This phenomenon, which is apparent in this vocabulary list, is called the brevity law and is also known as Zipf's law of abbreviation because it was originally formulated by the linguist George Kingsley Zipf.
s[preposition](with)The Czech language doesn’t use definite and indefinite articles. The highest ranking term in this list is a preposition (see this guide to Czech prepositions).
