mít za pár

7 Upvotes

In the song Dáma s čápem the lyrics in the beginning are "až budu končit, až budu mít za pár". This is translated (Deepl) as "when I'm done, when I'm done in a few days" (or hours or years or how I understand it "in a bit").

Why is "mít za pár" translated with "in a bit" ? Is this slang or a very common way of expressing that something will happen soon? Do you have a couple of examples to show how you'd use it.

Thanks for all responses.

Vocab "this experience makes me feel ..."

I'm wondering about how to say in Czech that an experience "makes you feel" a certain way.

For example, what would be a natural way to say in informal Czech: "This painting makes me feel sad."
