Leaning this language because a friend says it’s a hard language. Now I’m actually interested into learning this language.
did you ever end up learning it
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 :) )
funny, because for me polish and czech are easy to understand and yall down there... not so much :D
Všetkým prajem veľa šťastia v ovládaní Slovenského jazyka :) Pochádzam zo Slovenska a verím, že sa ľudia dôkazu naučiť tento krásny jazyk, tak ako ja sa učím Anglicky! Ešte raz veľa šťastia prajem a pozdravujem všetkých zo Slovenska :)
I wonder how others struggle learning my language lol
Hi
Slovak is easy
Ja tiez coskoro bude mat hodnotu miliard
I watched the czech video, and both languages have almost the same words 🤔
😂
straggling ……
Nice.... Thank you.... Soon I will be in Slovakia
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
I am trying to learn Slovak or some basics of it so I can fit in a little more with my girlfriend and her family :) Thanks for the help!
Hah same lol
As someone who has tried to learn basic phrases for many languages thanks to CZcams, 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.
We appreciate this praise a lot - thank you Jason! Check out the "Language basics" series on our channel. You can find similar videos on languages like Croatian, Czech, Greek, Romanian and more.

I'm half Slovak, but my grandpa died before I could learn anything😢 thank goodness for YT
lol my wife said every words minutes before you. I personally learnt a lot and my beautiful wife loved it. Keep up these tiny classes, it helps us non Slovaks.
Hi Sasha! Thank you for teaching me these phrases! It was really helpful, because my Mom is from Slovakia, and I want to be able to talk to her in Slovak and understand what she is saying. 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!
Thanks Ellie, glad you found it helpful :)
Greetings for you and your Mom from Bosnia and Herzegovina😉 🇧🇦🇧🇦🇧🇦
Great video! Exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks for sharing.... Very much helpful....
hope you upload more of many words we need to know.
When she started talking about one of the most important words to know anywhere in the world, who else thought she was going to say _pivo_ ?
aaaah, a man of culture
👏👏👏👏 Excellent, this channel is gold.
Very good! Thanks for the video... Enjoyed learning some Slovak, good that you repeat the words many times and repeat them every now and then...
Thank You!
very good teacher!
Thank you! :)
I'm from Romania but I am also 25% Slovak,my mom never learned Slovak so neither have I,now I'm trying to learn it on my own
same, my mom is half slovak, but never learned the language. i would really love to speak it tho cause even tho it's "just" my grandfather who is from slovakia, i can feel my hearitage from there in me!
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.
We're working on expanding the series but our travel experts are now very busy with traveling guests :) but we can definitely help you plan your trip to Slovakia, if you needed - check out jaywaytravel.com/slovakia
same experience, Lola; sister and I are planning a trip to the 'old country,' hope we at least get the basics...this channel will be a good start!
Super nice video!
I am An Indian. I want to study more about slovak. Thanks Maam for this basic knowledge

what did she say at 2:17? Big Deek means thank you very much? :)
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?
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!
Dobry den, i need translation slovakian but google translate fails or i am missing something. How can i find help?
I want to learn so badly. I grew up in Canada and was more in touch with my Ukrainian heritage but not my Slovak heritage. If imma learn this it’s gonna be such a challenge
HAI I AM ANIL FROM INDIA, I WANT TO COME SLUVENIA.. AND YOUR VIDEO HELP ME FOR LEARINING SLOVANIA LANGUAGE
SO THANKS...... Dekujam😂
Ano is Filpino words too means in English means What? And I remember its kinda similar to Czech Language
Like Serbian, very identical. 😁👌
Being upper-B2 Russian certified, is it possible for me to learn Slovak language in one year ?
definetly
👍🥰👌🙏🏽
ja som zo slovenskaa
Hello mam
xd mna baví sa pozerat na vyslovovanie lebo máte iný prízvuk viem že ked vravím po anglicky alebo po španielsky tak by sa tiež niekto smial
i highly recommend learning vychodnarcinu instead of basic slovakian language
What is the meaning of CRACKMCOXPÁHU?
I'm slovak but I cannot speak that well
Similar to russian but different in some char same word
Yes, as a Slavic language there are quite a few similarities. Although Slovakia's quite tiny, its language seems to be the most universally understood throughout the Slavic-speaking world.
@@JayWayTravel ah ok, I would like to visit after corona :)
Dik xDD
Language are similar to Balkan countries.
Yes, in our experience Slovak is probably the most universally understood Slavic language for other Slavic speakers. Maybe because Slovakia's surrounded by other Slavic nations (apart from Hungary, but hey, Hungarian's very much it's own thing!)
@@JayWayTravel You right. Hungarian are similar to Finnish..sounds like that. I can understand a lot of Slavic languages because of my travelling across Eastern Europe.
Ahoj ako sa mas
Deek
It looks same language of polish language. It's similar.
They’re both West Slavic languages so you’re kind of right ☺️ we also have a Polish basics video online if you want to compare:

@@JayWayTravel yup I want to. Lemme see. Thanks
𝕾𝖕𝖎𝖈𝖞🌶🌶
Ahoji Prosím
800 túl sok...
slovakia and republic czech like a same language
no
saaaame but different, like all slavic languages to a certain extent, but still same...but different
Who is Czech and can understand 95% of it?
Im Polish and I can understand that
Neni dík spíš jenom pro kámoše? V Češtině kdybys řekla někde v obchodě dík tak asi dostaneš facku. :-D Ale díky použít můžeš.
ved tak povedala, ze to je neformalna verzia
@@momosaku16 Neformální jo, ale v češtině dík je ještě víc neformální, to fakt nemůžeš říct prodavačce v obchodě, ale díky říct můžeš.
@@Pidalin mas pravdu, ani na Slovensku by som predavacke nepovedala dik, ja osobne ani diky
@@momosaku16 Díky je v češtině většinou v pohodě, ale samozřejmě jde to říct i slušnějc.
Hlavne však - po slovensky je to správne "vďaka". Ale to je pre cudzinca ťažšie vysloviteľné než ďakujem. :c)
Hoy is Semitic.
For me as the native speaker of Ukrainian it sounds like the West-most dialect of Ukrainian - the Lemko dialect! Everything sounds very familiar!
