意味
Asking for a translation.
文化的背景
Slovaks appreciate any effort to speak their language. Using this phrase often triggers a 'mini-lesson' where the native speaker will repeat the word several times to help you with pronunciation. In the capital, people are used to foreigners and might answer in English immediately. You can insist on the Slovak word by saying 'Nie, po slovensky prosím!' In villages, people might use dialect words. If you ask 'Ako sa povie...?', they might give you a word that isn't in your textbook, which is a great way to learn local culture. In formal settings, using 'Ako sa povie' is perfectly fine, but adding 'Prosím vás' (I ask you) at the beginning is highly recommended for politeness.
Use your hands!
If you don't know the English word either, point at the object and say 'Ako sa povie tomuto?'
Don't forget the 'sa'
Saying 'Ako povie' sounds like 'How will he say', which is confusing.

よくある質問
4 問No, for names use 'Ako sa voláš?' (What is your name?) or 'Ako sa volá ten človek?' (What is that person called?).
Use 'povie' for a specific word/translation. Use 'hovorí' for general proverbs like 'Ako sa hovorí, trpezlivosť ruže prináša'.
It is neutral. You can use it with anyone. To make it more formal, add 'Prosím vás' at the beginning.
'Sa' is the direct reflexive (itself), while 'si' is the indirect reflexive (to itself). In this passive construction, 'sa' is the only correct choice.
