This article is devoted to female diminutives in English Translations of Czech texts. The research for this article was conducted using the Czech corpora (korpus.cz) where the author created a query to analyze two texts originally written in Czech. The author briefly describes the struggle of translating Czech diminutives to English, as these two languages have quite different stylistic forms. The subject of the analysis is female Czech diminutives in the texts Druhé město by Michal Ajvaz and Válka s mloky by Karel Čapek and the measure of equivalence used when translating said diminutives to English
