co jsme spolu fotili a z jsem vazne zajimava zenska a posledni veta co prej jako s tim johnem, at mu povim vic...a koncilo to ''jsm na blizku, oufam, ze s brzo uvidime'
I understand what "pry" is, but cannot get the exact meaning of the phrase. Or this is "přat" (to wish)?

and what about (the) John
In my view, it means "what kind of affair she has with some John" or "what is she about to do with (some person called) John", depending on the context and on the fact who actually John is.:-)
In this case (without knowing the context) I suggest neutral form: "and what about (the) John".

what are you up to with John
the meaning of the Czech phrase is "what comes next" "what going to happen"?
Note from asker:
| And "at' mu povim vic" tu bude I'll never tell him stuff like that any more, right? |

Vladimir Suda (X)
: no the meaning is much more general than what this translation would suggest

"co prý jako"
"prej" is the spoken version of "prý", so if you undertand "prý".....
Note from asker:
| I do understand "prej". Cetl jsem dobreho vojaka Svejka :-) Nemuzu chytit smysl cele vety. |
| DobrYYho vojaaka :-) |
