Significado
Indicating the desire to ask something.
Contexto cultural
In Slovakia, asking questions in class is encouraged but should be done at appropriate times. The phrase is identical in Czech, reflecting the close linguistic bond. Polish uses 'Mam pytanie', which is a cognate and functions exactly the same way. Russian uses 'У меня есть вопрос' (At me there is a question), which is a slightly different structure but serves the same purpose.
Keep it short
Don't add too much after 'Mám otázku'. Let the other person respond first.
Tone matters
Use a friendly, rising intonation to sound polite.
