Be careful when using the word 'handy'.
The main meaning is 'skillful' or 'dexterous' (šikovný, zručný)
For example:
"She's very handy with a pair of scissors."
"He doesn't seem to be very handy round the house, does he?"
The main meaning is 'skillful' or 'dexterous' (šikovný, zručný)
For example:
"He doesn't seem to be very handy round the house, does he?"
Therefore you should not say
"Ask John - he's very handy."
Instead you can say:"Ask John - he's very good with his hands."
"Ask John - he can fix/mend/repair anything."
"Ask John - he's good at repairs/practical jobs like that."
"Ask John - he can fix/mend/repair anything."
"Ask John - he's good at repairs/practical jobs like that."
