The Locative of Topic with O
There is one construction you need before you can hold any real conversation in Czech: how to say what something is about. The answer is the preposition o plus the locative case. Talk about a film, a book about history, think about it — all of them use o + locative. This is the everyday Czech "about," and because the locative case appears almost exclusively after a preposition, o is one of the words that brings the case to life. The locative answers o kom? o čem? (about whom? about what?).


Google Translate:

o hlavě
about the Head

o srdci
about the Heart

o krvi
about blood

o kom
about whom

o čem
about what

Yes, that is correct.
It is also possible to use the standalone "ó" as an interjection expressing an exclamation. For example: *ó* (oh) – how beautiful; *ó* (oh) – my God; *ó* (oh) – look how clever he is...

Např. ó to je krása, ó můj bože, ó podívejte jak je chytrý.....
