spať 30 सेकंड में

  • To sleep: The basic act of resting the body and mind, typically during the night.
  • Used in everyday conversations about rest, tiredness, and daily routines.
  • Key verb for beginners (A1 level) to express fundamental needs.
  • Forms include present (spím, spíš, spí...), past (spal, spala...) and infinitive (spať).
The Slovak verb "spať" is a fundamental word that means "to sleep" in English. It describes the state of resting the body and mind, typically during the night, characterized by unconsciousness and reduced sensory activity. This is a verb that is used in everyday conversations by people of all ages and backgrounds in Slovakia. It's one of the first verbs learners encounter because sleeping is a universal human activity. You'll hear it when people talk about their daily routines, their well-being, or their plans. For example, someone might say they are tired and need to sleep, or that they slept well last night. It can also be used metaphorically, though less commonly at the A1 level, to describe a state of inactivity or unawareness, but for beginners, focusing on the literal meaning of sleeping is key. The concept of sleep is essential for life, and thus, the word "spať" is deeply ingrained in the Slovak language and culture. It's a word you'll use constantly once you start communicating in Slovak, from simple greetings to more complex discussions about health and lifestyle. Think about how often you talk about sleep in your native language; the same applies to Slovak. People discuss how much sleep they got, if they had trouble sleeping, or what they plan to do after waking up. This word is as basic and necessary as words for eating, drinking, or walking. Its simplicity and universality make it a cornerstone for building your Slovak vocabulary and understanding basic sentence structures. The act of sleeping is a fundamental part of human existence, and the word "spať" captures this essential activity in the Slovak language. It's a verb that connects everyone, regardless of their age or social status, through a shared human experience. Mastering "spať" is a significant step for any beginner learning Slovak.
Basic Meaning
To be in a state of sleep; to rest.
Everyday Use
Used when talking about sleeping, rest, or tiredness.
CEFR Level
A1 - This is a fundamental verb for beginners.

Chcem ísť spať.

I want to go to sleep.

Dobre sa mi spalo.

I slept well.
Using "spať" in sentences is straightforward, especially at the A1 level. It often appears with modal verbs like "chcieť" (to want) or "musieť" (to have to), or as part of statements about one's condition or past experiences. The infinitive form "spať" is used after modal verbs. For instance, "Chcem spať" means "I want to sleep." Similarly, "Musím spať" translates to "I have to sleep." When talking about the act of sleeping itself, you will often use it in the present tense. "On spí" means "He is sleeping." "Ona spí" means "She is sleeping." "My spíme" means "We are sleeping." "Vy spíte" means "You (plural/formal) are sleeping." "Oni spia" means "They are sleeping." The present tense conjugations are crucial for describing ongoing actions.

Deti teraz spia.

The children are sleeping now.
The past tense is also very common. For example, to say "I slept," you would use "spal som" if you are male, or "spala som" if you are female. The past tense form agrees with the gender of the subject. "On spal dobre" means "He slept well." "Ona spala dlho" means "She slept for a long time." For plural subjects, it becomes "spali sme" (we slept), "spali ste" (you slept), and "spali" (they slept).

Včera som spal málo.

Yesterday I slept little.
You will also hear it in phrases related to feeling tired: "Som unavený a chcem spať." (I am tired and want to sleep.) or "Potrebujem spať." (I need to sleep.) Understanding the conjugation of "spať" in different tenses and with different subjects is key to using it correctly. Remember that the infinitive "spať" is used after auxiliary verbs like "chcieť" (want), "môcť" (can/be able to), "musieť" (must/have to), and "ísť" (to go, in the sense of going to do something). For example, "Idem spať" means "I am going to sleep." This is a very common construction.
Infinitive Use
Used after modal verbs (chcieť, musieť, etc.) and 'ísť' (to go to).
Present Tense
spím (I sleep), spíš (you sleep), spí (he/she/it sleeps), spíme (we sleep), spíte (you plural/formal sleep), spia (they sleep).
Past Tense
Masculine: spal som, spal si, spal, spali sme, spali ste, spali. Feminine: spala som, spala si, spala, spali sme, spali ste, spali. Neuter: spalo.
You will hear the word "spať" and its various forms constantly in everyday Slovak conversation. It's a word used in nearly every context related to rest, health, and daily life. Imagine walking into a Slovak household; a common question might be, "Dobre si spal?" (Did you sleep well?) or "Potrebuješ spať?" (Do you need to sleep?). In a hotel, the reception might ask, "Ako ste spali?" (How did you sleep?). When talking about children, parents frequently say, "Deti už musia spať." (The children must sleep now.) or "Dnes večer si dobre pospi." (Sleep well tonight - a more informal imperative form derived from 'spať'). On public transport, if someone looks tired, you might hear a sympathetic comment like, "Vyzeráš unavene, asi potrebuješ spať." (You look tired, you probably need to sleep.). In a doctor's office, a common question regarding well-being is about sleep patterns: "Ako často spíte?" (How often do you sleep?) or "Máte problémy so spánkom?" (Do you have problems with sleep? - note 'spánok' is the noun for sleep).

Dobré ráno! Dúfam, že ste dobre spali.

Good morning! I hope you slept well.
Even in casual social settings, when planning activities, someone might say, "Poďme domov, už je neskoro, musíme ísť spať." (Let's go home, it's late, we have to go to sleep.). News reports or weather forecasts might mention optimal times for rest, indirectly referencing the need to "spať." Conversations about health and fitness invariably touch upon the importance of adequate sleep. For instance, "Pre zdravie je dôležité pravidelne spať." (For health, it is important to sleep regularly.).

Dnes v noci budem spať u starých rodičov.

Tonight I will sleep at my grandparents' place.
In schools, teachers might tell young children, "Deti, teraz si oddýchnite a choďte spať." (Children, now rest and go to sleep.). The word is fundamental and ubiquitous. You'll hear it from family members, friends, colleagues, service providers, and even in public announcements. It's a word that is as common as asking someone if they are hungry or thirsty.
Home & Family
Discussions about children's bedtime, asking about a partner's sleep.
Hotels & Travel
Staff asking guests about their sleep experience.
Health & Wellness
Discussions about sleep quality, fatigue, and the importance of rest.
Social Gatherings
Planning to go home to sleep, commenting on being tired.
For beginners learning Slovak, the most common mistake with "spať" often revolves around conjugation, particularly the difference between the infinitive and the conjugated forms, and gender agreement in the past tense.

Mistake: Chcem spal.

Incorrect: I want slept.
This is incorrect because after the modal verb "chcieť" (to want), the infinitive form "spať" is required. The correct sentence is "Chcem spať." (I want to sleep.). Similarly, using the infinitive when a conjugated form is needed is a common pitfall. For example, saying "My spať." instead of "My spíme." (We are sleeping.).

Mistake: Deti spať.

Incorrect: Children sleep (infinitive).
The correct form here is "Deti spia." (The children are sleeping.). Another area of confusion is the past tense conjugation, especially the gender agreement. A male speaker saying "Spala som" (I slept) when they should say "Spal som" is a common error. The past tense forms "spal" (m), "spala" (f), "spalo" (n), and "spali" (plural) must agree with the subject's gender and number.

Mistake: Ona spal.

Incorrect: She slept (masculine form used).
The correct sentence for "She slept" is "Ona spala."
Infinitive vs. Conjugation
Using the infinitive "spať" when a conjugated present tense form (spím, spíš, spí, spíme, spíte, spia) is required, and vice versa.
Past Tense Gender Agreement
Incorrectly using the masculine past tense form "spal" for a female subject, or other gender/number mismatches.
Overuse of Infinitive
Using "spať" after auxiliary verbs like "chcieť" or "musieť" when the context requires a different verb or structure, or incorrectly assuming "spať" can stand alone in all contexts.
While "spať" is the primary verb for "to sleep," Slovak has related words and phrases that convey nuances of rest and slumber. The most direct related word is the noun "spánok," which means "sleep" itself. You'll often hear "Mať dobrý spánok" (to have good sleep) or "Potrebujem spánok" (I need sleep).
spať (verb) vs. spánok (noun)
spať is the action of sleeping, while spánok is the state or noun form of sleep. Example: "Rád spím." (I like to sleep.) vs. "Potrebujem kvalitný spánok." (I need quality sleep.)
For a more informal or affectionate way to say "sleep" or "nap," especially to children, you might hear "pospať si." This implies a short, pleasant sleep or nap. For example, "Choď si pospať na chvíľu." (Go and have a little nap for a while.).
spať vs. pospať si
spať is the general verb for sleeping. pospať si implies a shorter, more relaxed, or lighter sleep, often a nap. Example: "Musím spať celú noc." (I have to sleep the whole night.) vs. "Dám si krátky pospať si." (I will take a short nap.)
When someone is very tired and wants to go to bed, they might say "Potrebujem si oddýchnuť." (I need to rest.), which is a broader term but often implies the intention to sleep.
spať vs. oddýchnuť si
spať is specifically about sleeping. oddýchnuť si means to rest, relax, or take a break, which might or might not involve sleeping. Example: "Večer idem spať." (I am going to sleep in the evening.) vs. "Po práci si potrebujem oddýchnuť." (After work, I need to rest/relax.)
In the context of deep, undisturbed sleep, you might hear "mať hlboký spánok" (to have deep sleep). There isn't a single verb that perfectly captures "to nap" as distinctly as "to sleep" with "spať," so "pospať si" or simply "spať krátko" (to sleep briefly) are common.

Dnes idem spať skôr.

Today I am going to sleep earlier.

Potrebujem si pospať.

I need to take a nap.
Related Noun
spánok (noun) - sleep.
Informal/Nap
pospať si - to have a short, pleasant sleep or nap.
General Rest
oddýchnuť si - to rest, to relax (can include sleeping but not exclusively).
