文化背景
The 'Slovník cudzích slov' is a cultural icon. Owning one suggests a level of education and curiosity about the world. Linguists at the Ľudovít Štúr Institute actively monitor 'cudzie slová' to decide if they should be officially 'Slovakized' in spelling (e.g., 'smartphone' -> 'smartfón'). In Bratislava's corporate world, using English 'cudzie slová' (like 'meeting', 'deadline', 'feedback') is so common it's often called 'Slovenglish'. Many 'cudzie slová' from German (Germanizmy) are now considered 'old-fashioned' or dialectal, used mostly by the older generation in villages.
Spotting them
If a Slovak word ends in -cia (like informácia), it is almost certainly a 'cudzie slovo' from Latin.
Declension
Don't forget that 'cudzie' is a soft adjective. Its endings might differ from 'pekný'.
