What is the difference between czech,czech republic,czechoslovakia and czechoslovak?

Question

Are these 4 names of 1 country situated in Europe or they are different. Please let me know.

Answer 1

Hi,
I'm from Slovakia, so I'll explain:
Czechoslovakia used to be a country - federation of two republics Czech and Slovak, existing as one independent state.

However, on January 1, 1993, Czechoslovakia split into the Czech Republic and Slovak Republic (or Slovakia). So there are now two independent states (both are still in Central Europe btw.)

So, please, do not say "he is from Czechoslovakia", as it does not exist any more ;).

Answer 2

Czech is the noun and adjective related to the country named Czech Republic.
Until 1992, the countries which are now the Czech Republic and Slovakia were united in one country called Czechoslovakia. Csechoslovak is the noun and adjective used to describe people and things originating from Czechslovakia.

Answer 3

Czech: adjective like English, French, Danish, German
Czech Republic: name of a country

Slovak: adjective, see above
Slovakia: name of a neighboring country of the Czech Republic

Czechoslovak: adjective, see above
Czechoslovakia: formerly a republic and a country. The country no longer exists, it split up in 1993 into the two seperate countries mentioned above.
