Schránky

Schránky is a Czech and Slovak word that translates to "boxes," "casings," "shells," or "mailboxes" in English, depending on the context. The term can refer to a variety of physical containers or protective coverings. In a literal sense, it might describe a container for storing items, akin to a toolbox or a jewelry box. It can also refer to the outer covering of something, such as the shell of a nut or the casing of an electronic device.

More specifically, "schránky" can denote mailboxes, the receptacles used for receiving postal mail. In this sense, it is a common term used in both Czech and Slovak Republics for the mailboxes found on houses or apartment buildings. Furthermore, the word can be used metaphorically to describe a person's physical body, implying it is a vessel or casing for the spirit or mind. The specific meaning of "schránky" is therefore heavily reliant on the surrounding words and the overall situation in which it is used.
