MF DNES Praha - Borovice, smrček nebo jedlička? Pražané mají v poslední době jasno; nehledí tolik na peníze, raději si připlatí a koupí si k Vánocům jedličku. Jejich cena se pohybuje v Praze od 160 do 350 korun za metr.
Buying a Christmas tree is a time for decisions. We worry not only about the size but also the kind. Czech use these three species for their trees in this order of desirability and price.
- smrk - spruce
- borovice - pine
- jedle - fir
In the context of Christmas, they are more often referred to lovingly (and to reflect their small size) by their respective diminutives: smrček, borovička, jedlička. (Incidentally, borovička is also a Czech brand of alcohol).
