معنی
Used to ask for a translation or word.
زمینه فرهنگی
Slovaks appreciate when foreigners try to speak their language. Using 'Ako sa to povie?' is often a great conversation starter and will likely result in a friendly mini-lesson. In many Slavic cultures, the reflexive passive is the default for impersonal questions. It sounds more polite and less demanding than 'How do you say...'. In Slovak schools, students are taught to be very precise with terminology. Asking 'Ako sa to povie?' shows you value this precision. In the capital, many people speak English, but using this phrase shows you are not just another tourist and are making an effort to integrate.
Add 'po slovensky'
Always add 'po slovensky' at the end if you want to be 100% clear you are asking for the Slovak translation.
Don't forget 'sa'
Without 'sa', the sentence is grammatically incomplete and sounds very 'Tarzan-like'.
