뜻
Taking time off from work.
문화적 배경
Slovaks love their 'chaty' (cottages). Taking a vacation often means going to a mountain cabin with no Wi-Fi. It is common to take a 'predĺžený víkend' (long weekend) by taking a vacation day on Friday. The 'celozávodná dovolenka' still exists in some large factories like Volkswagen Slovakia. Croatia is the 'Slovak Sea'. If someone takes a vacation in summer, they are likely going there.
The 'Si' Rule
Always include 'si'. It marks the action as personal. Without it, you sound like a robot.
Aspect Matters
Use 'zobrať' for a specific plan and 'brať' for general habits.

5 질문Yes, they are 100% interchangeable, but 'zobrať si' is slightly more frequent in spoken Slovak.
Usually, yes. If it's not, you specify 'neplatená dovolenka'.
Use 'Som na dovolenke'.
No, for that use 'PN' or 'voľno kvôli chorobe'.
It is 'dovolenky', but we usually use the singular when talking about a specific block of time off.
