    As a South Slavic (Serbian) speaker I´m always amazed how much I understand Slovak! Like reading some wiki page in Slovak is never a problem to me... I´d even add that of all non-South Slavic languages, Slovak is the most similar to Serbian/Croatian. (Unlike the Czech... there are just to many consonants involved :) )

    As someone who has tried to learn basic phrases for many languages thanks to RUclips, I can confidently say this is one of the best videos I've ever watch. Pronouncing words at an increasing pace is incredibly useful. The text you include with each term is helpful. And most importantly, you cover every necessary expression and nothing else. I wish you spoke every language so you could make all of these videos I watch.

    My ex was Slovakian and she lived and worked in England and we went back to Slovakia many times to a village near a place called Topoľčany and honestly what an amazing country and amazing people 🥰, i am so grateful i had the opportunity to stay in a small village where people were close and knew each other and all had huge gardens full of fresh fruit and veg ......i am getting off topic ha ha ha i digress . It was so nice to watch this because it brought back memory's of going to the local village shops trying my best to get a sentence out in an English accent 🤭, and i had forgot a few words in slovak , but thanks to this video i can almost put a sentence together again 😋 Thank you

She actually has said most of these phrases before, I just never really fully understood what they meant. You were an excellent teacher, and thank you for teaching me some other useful phrases, too! :) Dik!

    Please make more videos! It is so hard to find resources to learn Slovak. My grandpa wanted my dad and his siblings to be "Americanized" so he never taught them Slovak. It makes me so sad that the language was lost in one generation. I want to learn it and travel to Liesek and Chlebnice where my great grandparents are from.

    Can we use Nastredano for dovienia instead?
    Also do you Slovaks use Ahoi for both hello and goodbye among friends?
    What about dobre Vecer and dobre Rano? Is Dobre Rano only used from 12am to 10am only? What about good afternoon?

    • @JayWayTravel
      @JayWayTravel  2 года назад +2

      Hi, if you mean "na shledanou", that's Czech. Slovaks understand it of course, from the Czechoslovak era, but also because culturally there's a lot of crossover in terms of friends, family, and media, but they prefer to hear goodbyes in their own language, so use "dovidenia". Incidentally "dovidenia" is more universally understood in other Slavic-speaking countries, and even to Czechs.
      Yes, Slovaks also use ahoj as an informal hello and goodbye. Or čau (like ciao in Italian).
      Yes, rano really only applies until around 10am. After that it's just 'day'. The evening ("večer") doesn't start till around 5 or 6 pm, and is more a function of when sunset is. If it's starting to get dark, it's evening.
      The concept of "good afternoon", which literally translated would be "dobre popoludnie" doesn't exist in Slovak, or Czech. They simply say "dobrý deň" - it's a lot less syllables!
