dámy

Dámy is a Czech word that translates to "ladies" or "women" in English. It is the feminine plural form of the noun "dáma," meaning lady. The term is commonly used in social contexts to refer to women, often in a polite or respectful manner. It can be used when addressing a group of women, referring to them collectively, or in phrases like "pánové a dámy," which means "gentlemen and ladies." The word "dáma" itself carries connotations of elegance, refinement, and good manners, similar to the English word "lady."

In a broader sense, "dámy" can also refer to the female players in the game of checkers, known as "dáma" in Czech. The game itself is played on a checkered board, and the objective is to capture all of the opponent's pieces, called "dámy," by jumping over them. The rules of checkers are largely universal, though minor variations may exist. The use of "dámy" in this context is a direct translation of the game's terminology.
