You'll often come across the word rok, which means year. This is a common noun you'll use when talking about dates, ages, or how long something takes.
For example, if you want to say 'one year,' you'd say jeden rok. When you are talking about 'last year' or 'next year,' you will also use rok.
You'll also see this word in phrases related to time, so it's a good one to remember early on. It's a foundational word for expressing duration and temporal concepts in Slovak.
When you're talking about a specific year, like 'in 2023', you'll often use 'v roku' (in the year). For example, 'v roku 2023' means 'in the year 2023'.
However, when you're just counting years, like 'two years', you'll use 'roky' for 2, 3, or 4 years (e.g., 'dva roky' - two years). For five years or more, you'll use 'rokov' (e.g., 'päť rokov' - five years).
So, pay attention to the context to pick the right form!
