معنی
An informal question about someone's current activity.
زمینه فرهنگی
Slovaks often answer 'Čo robíš?' with 'Ale, nič' (Oh, nothing) even if they are busy. it's a form of modesty. The transition from 'vykanie' (formal) to 'tykanie' (informal) is a big deal. Don't use 'Čo robíš?' until you've been invited to 'tykať'. In rural areas, 'Čo robíš?' almost always implies physical work or chores. On social media, 'Čo robkáš?' is a cute, diminutive version used by girls or couples.
The 'Ty' Rule
Always remember that 'robíš' implies 'ty'. If you aren't on 'tykanie' terms, you'll sound like a teenager talking to an adult.
Tone Matters
A rising intonation makes it a friendly question. A flat or falling intonation can make it sound like a demand or an accusation.
