💡

Smile

Slovaks appreciate a smile with a greeting.

💡

Drop the pronoun

You don't need to say 'Ja' every time. 'Som študent' is perfectly natural.

💡

The 'ne-' Rule

Always check for 'ne-' on your verb. If it's missing, you aren't negating the action.

💡

When in doubt, use Vy

It is always safer to be formal than informal.

Review Summary

  • Ahoj (inf) / Dobrý deň (form)
  • Som (I am), Si (You are), Ste (You are formal)
  • Áno / Nie
  • Ty (friends), Vy (strangers/seniors)

자주 하는 실수

You should not use informal 'Ahoj' with authority figures or elders. Always use 'Dobrý deň' in formal settings.

Wrong: Ahoj, pán učiteľ.
정답: Dobrý deň, pán učiteľ.

In Slovak, you often drop the pronoun 'Ja' (I) because the verb form 'som' already indicates the person.

Wrong: Ja som som.
정답: Som.

You mixed formal 'Ste' with informal 'ty'. Use 'Si' with 'ty' and 'Ste' with 'vy'.

Wrong: Ste ty Peter?
정답: Si ty Peter?
