Learn how to say Slovak months
In Slovakia, we have 12 names of the months similar to English. We also use "v" in front of the months to express WHEN.
The exception is, we say "vo" instead of "v" with the month of February.
| English | Slovak |
|---|---|
| January, in January | január, v januári |
| February, in Februry | február, vo februári |
| March, in March | marec, v marci |
| April, in April | apríl, v apríli |
| May, in May | máj, v máji |
| June, in June | jún, v júni |
| July, in July | júl, v júli |
| August, in August | august, v auguste |
| September, in September | september, v septembri |
| Otober, in October | október, v októbri |
| November, in November | november, v novembri |
| December, in December | december, v decembri |
You can see some exceptions with creating the names of the months together with "v" or "vo".
- Always add "i" at the end of the month. (v marci = in march)
- Exception is August, where you add "e" instead of "i". (v auguste = in august)
- In 5 months you delete "e" from the second letter from the end => marec = v marci. Those months are: marec, september, október, november, december.
How to say seasons in Slovak language
We also have 4 different seasons. To express WHEN, you also use "v", meaning "in". The only exception is "in spring" what we translate as "na jar".
| English | spring | summer | autumn | winter |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Slovak | jar | leto | jeseň | zima |
In the season | na jar | v lete | v jeseni | v zime |
Example:
- V lete je teplo. = In the summer, it is warm.
- V zime je zima. = In the winter, it is cold.
- Vianoce sú v zime. = Christmas is in the winter.
How do I write the date in Slovak?
It is pretty simple. You already know how to say ordinal numbers. Now you only need to change the ending of the words and you can express the date.
You learned that all of the ordinal numbers end with "-ý/-í/-y". Just remove it and add "-ého" or "eho". It depends on whether the word ended with long vowel or short vowel. If the word ended with long vowel "-ý" or "-í" you add "-ého". If the word ended with short vowel "y" or "i" you add "-eho". This is the way how to create the date consisting of a day and a month.
- 1. - prvý = prvého
- 10. - desiaty = desiateho
- 27. - dvadsiaty siedmy = dvadsiateho siedmeho
- 31. - tridsiaty prvý = tridsiateho prvého
Only exception is "tretí", where it changes to "tretieho".
- Dnes je tretieho februára. = Today it is 3rd of February.
Also the names of the months change - all the rules as mentioned above applies, only you change ending "-i" to "-a".
Example:
- 21st May= dvadsiateho prvého mája
- 4th March= štvrtého marca
- 17th October= sedemnásteho októbra
Good to know! Equivalent to English st,nd,rd,th is adding a dot after the number instead. Example: 1st is the same as 1. in Slovak.
Example dialog
Recap this lesson with this example dialog!
Marek: Dnes je zima. Aké je tvoje obľúbené ročné obdobie? (Today it is cold. What is your favourite season?)
Jozef: Mám rád leto. A tvoje? (I like summer. And yours?)
Marek: Moje obľúbené ročné obdobie je jeseň. Mimochodom, koľkého je? (My favourite season is autumn. By the way, what date is it?)
Jozef: Dnes je nedeľa, šiesteho januára. Zajtra je pondelok. (Today is Sunday 6th of January. Tomorrow is Monday.)
Marek: Ďakujem. A kedy príde tvoja mama? (Thank you. And when is your mother coming?)
Jozef: Budúcu nedeľu, trinásteho januára. Kedy sú tvoje narodeniny? (Next Sunday, 13th of January. When is your birthday?)
Marek: Veľa zábavy. Moje narodeniny sú štrnásteho januára a tvoje? (Have fun. My birthday is in the winter, 14th of January, yours?)
Jozef: Skvelé. Moje narodeniny sú na jar, tretieho marca. (Great. My birthday is in spring, 3rd of March.)

Hi! I’m Yasmina, a professional German, English, Russian and Slovak teacher for adults and teenagers. I am fluent in 4 foreign languages and I have sucessfuly passed C2 level exams for English and German. I have a Masters degree in foreign languages and cultures from Comenius University in Bratislava, Slovakia. During my studies I have done a couple of exchanges abroad (Germany, Belgium, Portugal, Italy, Qatar, Iceland, etc).
I have lived in 4 countries, therefore I know how challenging it may be - to learn and SPEAK foreign language afterwards. I’ve been teaching and learning languages for more than 8 years (3 years of teaching experience). I am absolutely sure, that your learning process starts, when you begin to speak. Therefore my lessons are mainly conversational, but you would need to do your homework at home :)
As a result, we can use your new knowledge during the lesson. Language learning is fun and a lot of hard work at the same time. But if you know what to do, than the process becomes much easier and enjoyable.
Here is the key information on the lessons/courses:
1. Lessons are tailored to your needs
2. All materials are provided
3. Before we start, during the trial lesson, I will test you level and we will develop a plan in order to reach your goal as soon as possible.
Any questions? Don’t hesitate to ask me!
All the best,
Yasmina
M. W.
Yasmina organizes the lessons in a varied, easy-to-understand and competent manner, is always punctual and attentive. She also incorporates information about the country (recipes, music, ...) and always thinks of something new - I like it when the learning is playful. Yasmina gladly and patiently answers questions, even those that concern the mentality or dealing with Slovaks (especially Slovakian mother-in-law ...). Clear recommendation!

My name is Tiera, and I am a native English speaker from Dallas, Texas, in the United States. I have over three years of in-person teaching experience with young learners aged 4-14. I also have a 120-hour TEFL certificate earned in August 2020. I have a high school diploma and spent approximately three years studying criminal justice and Spanish at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia, USA.
My philosophy is simple; teach with compassion, patience and confidence and your students will be greatly rewarded. I teach all levels of English learners, with young children and adults alike. I love to talk about sports, food, and nature in my classes. I prefer to use TPR, or the “total physical response” method with young learners because it is engaging and interactive. I can assist with correct grammar, punctuation, and spelling, as well as conversational English. This can include “free talk” topics as specific as interview English, business English, or anything that interests the students. I can also assist students with pronunciation and accent advising.
H. N.
Tiera is a very friendly teacher and especially well prepared for teaching kids. I can surely recommend her as a teacher.
