뜻
The act of corresponding by paper.
문화적 배경
The 'Vianočná pošta' program allows children to send letters to '999 99 Ježiško'. Every child who provides a return address receives a small gift and a letter back. Official communication with the state often requires a 'doporučený list do vlastných rúk' (registered letter into own hands), which is a very formal and legally binding way of delivering documents. Many famous Slovak poets, like Andrej Sládkovič, wrote famous 'listy' (letters) that are now part of the national heritage, often expressing romantic or patriotic feelings. In villages, the arrival of the 'poštár' (mailman) with a 'list' is still a social event, often involving a short chat about the news.
Aspect Matters
Use 'písať' when you are in the middle of writing, and 'napísať' when you want to say you finished it.
Don't say 'na list'
Remember, you write the letter, not 'on' the letter. 'Píšem list' is correct.

Formal Openings

Handwriting
Handwriting is still taught strictly in Slovak schools, so a handwritten letter is expected to be neat.
