It depends on what do you mean... if "guys" like "people, folks" it's for example

"Lidi vy jste skvělí", colloquial is "Lidi vy ste skvělý" B)

and if "guys" like "boys" it's:
"Kluci/Hoši vy jste/ste skvělí/skvělý" and so on...

 

[stersita]

Lidi vy ste skvělý B)

 

[Royal-Galliano]

Lidi vy ste skvělý B)

Perfectamente! B)

I would like to know tongue twisters in their languages and I can't say this one fluently

Hehe here's a very "milanese/lombard slang" translation (If a foreigner was to say it in Milan, they'd all be very impressed )

"Bella lì, raga!"

Pronounciation (as usual, apostrophe after the stressed syllable

Bell'-ah lee, rah'-gah!

It literally means "beautiful there, guys" and if I remember well aussie slang, down under they'd translate it as "Bewdy, mob!"

^ I'm SO saying that when I go to Italy.. To impress the beautiful italianos B)

Haha use it only in Lombardy, though...in Rome or Naples they wouldn't like it as much...you know, in every region there's a different dialect and different slang too...i.e., in Florence they'd translate "Bella lì!" (as a sign of appreciation, right like aussie "bewdy", french "génial", russian "kruto" and so on) with "Ganzo!" (gun'-dzoh) while a roman alternative and funny version could be "Evvai cor tango!" (ehv-vye' korr tahn'-go), a neapolitan one maybe "Si' bell' cumpà!" (seeb-bell' koom-pah') and a sicilian one "Mi', chi billizza!" (mee, keeb bill-ee'-tsah), and so on...

p.s.
To other italian tFSers: please correct my lousy dialectical translations if needed!

Galliano I went to a restaurant where a friend works and there where some czech guys and my friend didn't know english so I had to talk to them and they were really nice and we had a good conversation and then when they had to go I remembered what you wrote so I told them "Lidi vy ste skvělý" and I must've pronounced wrongly cause they looked at me like and then I said "I mean you guys are cool" and they just went "oh ok" and laughed Talk about embarassing yourself

Sorry Stersie, but it's 100% true! I'm gonna post a link, where you can syntetize the sound, wait a minute! I know, Czech is too complicated for foreigns...

Plus I don't understand a word in czech so..

Oh did you know, where I live we pronounce the word pronunciación wrongly

Honestly, pronunciation of that b*tch is not so great as well!
