Contexte culturel
The 'Správy' at 7 PM on TV is a sacred time for many families. Don't call a Slovak grandmother during this time! Slovaks often use 'diakritika' in formal messages but skip it in quick 'nové správy' to friends. A 'nová správa' in a Slovak office is often expected to be thorough and follow a specific template. Slovak news portals often use 'Mimoriadna správa' (Breaking News) instead of 'Nová správa' for urgent events.
