Basic Phrases In Slovak Language
These basic conversation words and phrases should give you overview of Slovak language and help you on your trips to Slovakia. Please, visit Text to Speech or Speech Synthesis or Human Speech Synthesis pages for the pronunciation of Slovak language words or phrases (it is best to input characters with Slovak keyboard, as sounds will be distorted otherwise - see instructions for installing).
While most young Slovaks now learn English in schools, many older people speak only Slovak and as a second language, German or Russian. As Slovakia is not yet overrun by tourists, people are usually very willing to offer assistance, even if their foreign language skills are moderate. Like in many other countries, learning even a few basic words of Slovak will excite the locals and is a worthwhile investment even for short-term visitors.
Restaurants in tourist areas offer menus in English or German but in many smaller towns menus are only available in Slovak.

How do you say "heart" in Slovak?
Steve wrote on 07.05.2008 at 16:44:55:
Francis, 'Lubim ta' is Slovak for 'I love you' and it is pronounced:
Loo-beem Tia
I wouldn't worry too much about mispronouncing it, she'll probably be very happy you are trying.

I am going to Slovakia to meet my girlfriends parents for the first time. I am planning on asking for their blessing as I am also proposing to my girlfriend on the trip.
I was planning on asking the parents first, then proposing.
I was told in Slovakia it was more common to get engaged and then get the parents permission.
Can anyone clear this up for me?
Thanks

Of course Canadians aren't better at hockey, but we joke about that. Thank you very much.

I have a Slovakian friend whom I take to and from work each day. Now I've found this useful site, it will be good to 'show off' the few phrases I have learned!
However, it might be more useful to include a basic guide to pronunciation, so us Brits can get round some of those tongue-twister words!
Nevertheless, very well done, thank you.

ADMIN: you couldn't have found those words, because many of them are written in teen-like SMS-style. The message says: "I like that about you, you are wonderful, good point for you, I kiss you anywhere you would like to and where you want."

Hi, this site is great. My slovak is basic - I want to ask my Slovak girlfriend to marry me, but I can't figure which of these phrase (assuming all are gramatically correct) would be best, any advice from a native really appreciated!! I tend to prefer the first one since it's short...
1. Vezmes si ma?
2. Zoberies si ma za muza?
3. Chcel by si ma vziat?
Thanks a lot...
ADMIN: Congratulations, please do consider what Viktor wrote here on February 11. The first two are grammatically correct, the first can be amended with the words "za muza", too - the third should read ChcelA by si si ma vziat and you can add "za muza" to it too. If you want a short phrase, you could also propose saying "Vydas sa za mna?" pronounced "Vee-dush sah zah mneeah?"

what Slovak word would you use to close a letter? In English we might write "sincerely" "yours truly" etc. ADMIN: Slovaks use "S pozdravom," meaning with a greeting.

Hi, I am a teacher in England and have two 7 year old boys starting in my class Monday who only speak Slovak. I have found your site great for learning a few basic words and was wondering if you could help me with transations for the following activities that they will partake in during the school day.
Literacy - ADMIN: "Gramotnost", but you probably meant literature, which is "Literatura".
Maths - ADMIN: "Matematika"
Breaktime - ADMIN: Prestavka
Lunchtime - ADMIN: Obed
Assembly - ADMIN: Zhromazdenie
Topic work - ADMIN: Tematicka praca
P.E - ADMIN: Telocvik
Hometime - ADMIN: Doma
Line up - ADMIN: Zoradit
Do you need the toilet? - ADMIN: Potrebujes ist na zachod?
Do you need a drink? - ADMIN: Potrebujes ist pit?
It must be a scary time for them and I want help as much as possible. I have tried dictionaries but they confuse me and paid for a 'teach yourself slovak' download but it doesnt include the phases i need.
Please help!!!
Dakujem!

Please, I beg of you to forgive me and return back by my side like the way that it was meant to be. I love you, and I always will until the day that I die. Hopefully, when that day comes, I will still have you by my side and you will be the last angel face that I see. I will be able to hold you in my arms one last time, and tell you how much I love you and how much you really mean to me. I love you! I know that I'm not perfect but I know that I don't want to give you up. I have waited too long to hold you in my arms. I guess I just need to vent and let you know how I feel. Please don't take my venting the wrong way. I do love you and don't want to break up with you. That would just make me even more imperfect than I already am. I sit here in sorrow, wishing I could hold you.
ADMIN: Dean, I am sorry but we do not have the capacity to provide a free personal translation service. We try to help with phrases that are of use to a wider audience. Perhaps some of the visitors can help?

Could anyone kindly tell me how I could say in Slovakian:
Dear Mrs. D, I hope you and your family are well. I'm sorry that I was not able to thank you in Slovak. I wanted to say: "Thank you very much for your delicious cakes. I very much look forward to trying them again one day.
If everyone in Slovakia cooked so brilliantly, I think it would be a very nice country to visit, and a country where it is very difficult to stay on a diet!
Thank you again.
Yours sincerely ...

TANCUJEM and TANKUJEM these two verbs mean something completly different. The first one I AM DANCING and the second I AM FILLING MY CAR WITH PETROL. Be careful. The pronunciation is different.

Ahoj, one more question...
Is the 'l' in 'klobasy' (klobasy - sausage) pronouced the same as the Polish 'Ł' in 'kiełbasa' (keiłbasa = Sausage) or is it as in the english 'l' ('love')? I've looked but can't find an explanation.
Dakujem!

After being engaged to a Polish girl (not anymore), who comes from the Polish Carpathians, I see that Slovakia is very similiar to the Bieszczady in Poland (her home and the destination of many of my holidays) and now I'm not with her I intend to visit Slovakia. The language appears very simliar and because I can speak a little Polish I've got a head start. The phrases that you've got written here will help me lots in my forthcoming trip to Slovakia. From what I have heard and read I'm expecting my visit to Slovakia to be every bit as good, if not better, than my past visits to Poland. I'm looking forward to it!

Hi Darryn,
I have fallen in love with you is, if you are boy: Zaľúbil som sa do Teba. The pronunciation is approximately: Zaloobil som sah doh Tebah
a= is like the letter u in the word mUst
e= is like the letter e in the word AmErica
o= is like o in the word Old
If u r girl, it's almost the same but to the word Zaľúbil u have to add the letter a, which means Zaľúbila (zaloobilah)

Thank you, it is very helpful, especially because it's only three pages and the choices of words and phrases are ones used most often. In the US I went to travlang.com which you might also suggest at the end of your list. Travlang gives the pronounciation--sometimes tricky to reproduce :) I have fallen in love with your (my) Slovakia! We came for a week to see grandparents' villages--Dubrava and Obisovice. Also we visited Surany, my friend's inlaws grandparents birthplaces. In all towns we were cordially received by the mayors (did not see Dubrava mayor because not sure it was the right Dubrava).They gave us postcards ( even from little village Obisovice!)and booklets. My mother taught me "va di la mushishte kashetsu"...mother mouse rhyme giving her children bowl, spoon, etc. I have repeated it with great laughing success to many native Slovaks. Old customs are still remembered. again, thank you from my heart, Linda Lee Horvath
