Abstract: Words ending with the suffix -ost are very common in the Czech business language. In German, the corresponding words are words derived using several different suffixes, created by implicit derivation without suffixes, or composed words. These are namely words indicating share, frequency or intensity. Moreover, the Czech negation ne- is expressed in various ways in its German equivalents. This variety of equivalents to Czech words derived using the suffix -ost is very rich, so it is advisable to make students of translating courses familiar with it. The students tend to create these words mostly using the suffixes -heit or -keit.
