المعنى
Asking for permission to enter
خلفية ثقافية
Knocking is non-negotiable. Even if you see the person through a glass door, you must knock and wait for a signal before saying 'Môžem vojsť?'. The response 'Ďalej!' is very common. It literally means 'Further!', but in this context, it means 'Come in!'. In apartment buildings, you usually don't say 'Môžem vojsť?' at the main building entrance, only at the individual apartment door. If the door is wide open, you should still stand at the threshold and say 'Môžem?' to catch the person's eye.
The 'Môžem?' Shortcut
In 90% of casual situations, you can just say 'Môžem?' while knocking. It's faster and very natural.
Don't forget the 'ť'
Make sure to pronounce the soft 'ť' at the end of 'vojsť'. If you say 'vojs', it sounds incomplete.

Wait for the answer
Slovaks take the 'permission' part seriously. Don't open the door fully until you hear a response.
Use with 'Prepáčte'
If you are interrupting a meeting, always start with 'Prepáčte, môžem vojsť?' to soften the intrusion.
