A1 Expression カジュアル

Ako sa voláš?

What is your name?

意味

The standard informal question to ask someone's name.

🌍

文化的背景

The transition from 'Vykanie' (formal) to 'Tykanie' (informal) is a big deal. Usually, the older person or the person of higher social status must propose it. Slovaks are very proud of their 'Meniny' (Name Days). If you know someone's name, you can look up their Name Day and wish them well. In formal introductions, it is common to state your title (Ing., Mgr., Dr.) along with your name, but never when using 'Ako sa voláš?'. Nicknames are very common. If a girl says her name is 'Katarína', her friends will likely call her 'Katka'.

💡

The 'Sa' Rule

Always keep 'sa' in the second position. If you add 'Ahoj' at the start, 'sa' still stays right after 'Ako'.

⚠️

Age Matters

If the person looks older than 30 and you are a student, use 'Ako sa voláte?' to be safe.
