معنی
Informal word for television.
زمینه فرهنگی
The 'Večerníček' is a cultural icon. Every evening, children watch this short program on 'telka'. It's so famous that the character has statues and is known by every generation. During Christmas, 'telka' is dominated by 'rozprávky' (fairy tales). It is a national tradition to watch 'Popoluška' (Cinderella) while eating potato salad. Slovaks and Czechs share a very similar media space. Many Slovaks watch Czech channels on their 'telka' and vice versa, leading to a high level of mutual intelligibility. In rural areas, 'telka' was historically the main source of connection to the capital, Bratislava. This gave the device a status of 'the window to the world'.
The 'V' Rule
Always use 'v telke' for programs. If you say 'na telke', people will look for a cat or a vase on top of your television.
Gender Matters
Telka is feminine. Use feminine adjectives: 'dobrá telka', 'veľká telka'.
