(093***) Smajlíkům je 35 let

Jak často používáte smajlíky? Znáte někoho, kdo smajlíky nepoužívá vůbec? A k čemu smajlíky vůbec jsou?

Loni oslavily smajlíky (někdo říká “smajlíci”*) neboli emotikony 35 let. Vše nejlepší k třicátým pátým narozeninám! 🙂 Jak vznikly? Kdo je vymyslel? Autorem je americký profesor Scott Fahlman. Poslal svým kolegům zprávu. Nešlo ale o vážnou zprávu. Šlo o vtip. A protože chtěl, aby kolegové vtip pochopili, přidal dvojtečku : a závorku ) – tedy úsměv.

Myslím si, že dnes používá smajlíky každý – tedy až na moje prarodiče, kteří ani smsky ani emaily nepíší. Komunikace obecně probíhá víc a víc na internetu. A na internetu neslyšíme intonaci hlasu člověka, se kterým mluvíme. Umíte si představit život bez smajlíků?

Pokud si chcete přečíst a poslechnout pokročilou verzi o smajlíkách, mrkněte na rozhlas.cz

Vaše Eliška

*Poznámka pod čarou pro pokročilé
Já osobně dávám přednost slovu “smajlíky”, protože v češtině v množném čísle rozlišujeme, zda je daná věc/postava,… živá nebo neživá. Takže např. máme dvojice

ucho & množné číslo: uši (na hlavě)/ucha (hrnce)

průvodce & množné číslo: průvodci (=člověk), průvodce (= kniha)

oko & množné číslo: oči (nad nosem), oka (na silonkách)

business, mother, polyglote

I am slowczech founder and from my experience I know two things: beginners can understand words with time. And enjoyable input is vital for natural language acquisition. Many give up Czech due to old methods, irrelevant vocabulary or overwhelming grammar. Let’s change that and make learning Czech exciting and effective.
