víc

Víč is a Czech adverb meaning "more" or "to a greater extent." It is used in comparisons (víc než) and in fixed phrases such as "čím víc" (the more) and "víc a víc" (more and more). It can modify adjectives, adverbs, or verbs in everyday speech, for example: "Mám víc času," meaning I have more time; "Chci víc peněz" meaning I want more money.

Spelling and style: "víc" is the colloquial variant of the standard form "více." In formal writing, the preferred form is usually "více," while "víc" appears frequently in spoken Czech and informal texts. Some dictionaries and style guides note the distinction of register, with "více" favored in official or formal contexts.

Etymology and usage notes: Both "víc" and "více" originate from the same Slavic root meaning "more." They are not interchangeable in all contexts, but most sentences expressing degree or comparison can be formed with either form depending on tone and audience. The phrase "víc než" is common in everyday Czech, and "víc a víc" is widely understood as "more and more." The choice between forms can signal formality, with "více" often preferred in formal writing and "víc" in casual speech.
