Dveře is a plural-only noun in Czech (you say 'dveře jsou', not a singular form). It is used for ordinary doors and entrances; common phrases include 'u dveří' (at the door) and descriptions like 'dveře jsou zavřené/otevřené' (doors are closed/open). Pronunciation of ř is unique to Czech and sounds roughly like a rolled r combined with zh.
