Cultural Background

Name days (svátek) are celebrated by almost everyone. It is common to receive flowers or small gifts. The phrase 'Všetko najlepšie' is the direct Slovak equivalent and is used in exactly the same way. Polish uses 'Wszystkiego najlepszego', which is a cognate and shares the same meaning and usage. Russian uses 'Всего наилучшего' (Vsego nailuchshego), which is very similar in structure and meaning.
