خلفية ثقافية
Slovaks often use 'nemám čas' as a soft way to avoid social commitments without being confrontational. It is rarely questioned. In the capital, 'mať čas' is often squeezed into tight windows between work and social life. 'Rýchla káva' (quick coffee) is a common compromise. Hospitality is paramount. If you say you 'have time' to visit, expect to be offered food and drinks for several hours. Time management is increasingly Westernized. 'Máte čas?' is often followed by a calendar invite.
Always use 'na'
If you want to say what you have time for, always use 'na' + the object. 'Mám čas na teba' (I have time for you).
Clock Confusion
Never ask 'Máš čas?' if you just want to know if you're late for the bus. People will think you want to chat.
