Dobre vedieť

Good to know

Bedeutung

Acknowledging useful information.

🌍

Kultureller Hintergrund

Slovaks value practical information. Saying 'Dobre vedieť' shows you are a 'rozumný' (sensible) person who appreciates useful facts. In many Slavic cultures, there is a distinction between 'knowing' (vedieť) and 'knowing someone/being familiar' (poznať). 'Dobre vedieť' only uses the former. The TV show 'Dobre vedieť!' has made this phrase a household name, often associated with fun facts and science. In meetings, 'Dobre vedieť' is a polite way to signal you've noted a point without necessarily agreeing or disagreeing yet.

💡

The 'Aha' Factor

Adding 'Aha' before 'dobre vedieť' makes you sound much more like a native speaker who just had a realization.

⚠️

Watch the Adverb

Avoid saying 'Dobré vedieť'. Even though 'dobré' is 'good', the phrase requires the adverb 'dobre'.
