뜻
Checking body heat using a thermometer.
문화적 배경
Slovaks traditionally measure temperature in the armpit (v pazuche). Using the mouth is considered 'American style' and is less common in hospitals. The '37.2' rule: Many Slovaks believe that 37.2°C is a significant temperature that requires rest, whereas in other cultures this is considered normal. There is a strong preference for old-fashioned glass thermometers over digital ones among the older generation, who find digital ones 'unreliable'. School health checks: It is common for schools to send children home immediately if 'meranie teploty' shows anything above 37.0°C.
Use 'si'
Always add 'si' if you are measuring your own temperature: 'Meriam si teplotu.'
No 'brať'!
Never say 'brať teplotu'. It is the most common mistake for English speakers.

The Armpit Rule
If you are in a Slovak hospital, expect the thermometer to go under your arm.

10 질문Yes, you can say 'merať teplotu v izbe', but usually we say 'teplomer ukazuje...' (the thermometer shows...).
No, it is neutral. It is used by everyone from toddlers to surgeons.
'Merať' is the act of doing it; 'zmerať' is the completed act of having done it.
You say 'Mám horúčku' (high fever) or 'Mám teplotu' (mild fever).
No, 'merať' takes a direct object in the accusative: 'merať teplotu'.
