Czech

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): [ˈzdaːlɪ]

Etymology 1

Inherited from Old Czech vzdáľu, from vz + dále.

Adverb

zdáli

  1. from far away, from afar
    Synonym: zdaleka
    Antonym: zblízka
Usage notes
  • These words under the See also come originally from the Old Czech preposition "vz" that used to govern accusative ("vz tu dáľu"). Today, it became "z" which is a Czech preposition that governs genitive, so all these words sound a little weird and incorrect (as the genitive would sound "z té dále"). The adverb "zdáli" is the only one commonly used today. The other ones are rare or archaic.
