The name of the country combines the element „Tschecho-“ (Czecho-) with „Slowakei“ (Slovakia). This means that the name linguistically refers to the two parts of this historical state.
In der Tschechoslowakei lebten Menschen mit tschechischer und slowakischer Muttersprache.
People with Czech and Slovak native languages lived in Czechoslovakia.
„Die Tschechoslowakei“ (Czechoslovakia) is now mainly used in historical accounts, biographies, and reports about the period before 1993. The expression refers to a state from the past and therefore often occurs with information about earlier periods of people's lives.
Der Schriftsteller wurde noch in der Tschechoslowakei geboren.
The writer was born in Czechoslovakia.
Common expressions include „in der Tschechoslowakei leben“ (to live in Czechoslovakia), „aus der Tschechoslowakei stammen“ (to come from Czechoslovakia), and „die Auflösung der Tschechoslowakei“ (the dissolution of Czechoslovakia). For locations, the preposition „in“ (in) with the dative is especially common.
Viele Familien stammten aus der Tschechoslowakei und wanderten später nach Deutschland aus.
Many families came from Czechoslovakia and later emigrated to Germany.
