---|---|

four | štyri |
five | päť |
six | šesť |

nine | deväť |
ten | desať |
It is very important to learn those by heart, as they represent the base of the following numbers.
Slovak suffix "-násť" is equivalent to English "-teen". However, "-násť" is used already from number 11 (compared to English, starting from 13-thirteen).
We pronounce the words this way: 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19.
How to say number from 11-19? Only add the affix "-násť" to the numbers from 1-9. There are some small changes in the highlighted words you need to pay attention to:
Counting from 11 - 20 | Počítanie od 11 - 20 |
---|---|
eleven | jedenásť |
twelve | dvanásť |
thirteen | trinásť |
fourteen | štrnásť |
fifteen | pätnásť |
sixteen | šestnásť |
seventeen | sedemnásť |
eighteen | osemnásť |
nineteen | devätnásť |
You can check the table below to see how the numbers look. General rule is to add the affix "-dsať" (20, 30, 40) or "-desiat" (50, 60, 70, 80, 90).
We pronounce the words this way: 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90.
Counting from 20 - 100 | Počítanie od 20 - 100 |
---|---|
twenty | dvadsať |
thirty | tridsať |
forty | štyridsať |
fifty | päťdesiat |
sixty | šesťdesiat |
seventy | sedemdesiat |
eighty | osemdesiat |
ninety | deväťdesiat |
Here is an example how to create numbers from 21-29 and the rule applies for all other tens.
We pronounce the words this way: 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29.
Note that the numbers are written together, without space or dash.
Counting from 21 - 29 | Počítanie od 21 - 29 |
---|---|
twenty-one | dvadsaťjeden |
twenty-two | dvadsaťdva |
twenty-three | dvadsaťtri |
twenty-four | dvadsaťštyri |
twenty-five | dvadsaťpäť |
twenty-six | dvadsaťšesť |
twenty-seven | dvadsaťsedem |
twenty-eight | dvadsaťosem |
twenty-nine | dvadsaťdeväť |
You are almost there! Now we show you how to create hundreds. Simply add the affix "-sto" at the end of the basic numbers.
We pronounce the words this way: 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000.
Counting from 100 - 1 000 | Počítanie od 100 - 1 000 |
---|---|
one hundred | sto |
two hundred | dvesto |
three hundred | tristo |
four hundred | štyristo |
five hundred | päťsto |
six hundred | šesťsto |
seven hundred | sedemsto |
eight hundred | osemsto |
nine hundred | deväťsto |
one thousand | tisíc |
Note that there is a small change in "dvesto". It is "dvesto", not "dvasto".
Here again the same rule applies. Just add the affix "-tisíc" to the cardinal number!
English | Slovak |
---|---|
1 000 | tisíc |
2 000 | dvetisíc |
3 000 | tritisíc |
4 000 | štyritisíc |
5 000 | päťtisíc |
6 000 | šesťtisíc |
7 000 | sedemtisíc |
8 000 | osemtisíc |
9 000 | deväťtisíc |
10 000 | desaťtisíc |
Note that there is a small change in "dvetisíc". It is "dvetisíc", not "dvatisíc".
Now you can write down the number 5 743 in Slovak!
We will help you: päťtisícsedemstoštyridsaťtri!
Knowing the ordinal numbers will help you to express for example what is the date today!

My name is Andrea and I'd like to be your Slovak teacher. :-)
I am a qualified teacher. I studied at the State Language School in Slovakia and I passed the General State Examination in English Language (C1-C2 level).

In our first lesson we'll get to know each other and I'll make an assessment of your needs. After that I'll create a plan for us to follow together.
I enjoy teaching in a fun, friendly and casual manner. Whether you are an advanced student or a beginner let me help you improve. Let’s connect in a trial lesson so I can learn more about your goals. See you soon! :-)

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

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!

Patrick is a nice person and is passioned by English language. He uses different materials made by himself. Foreign students will be able to be confident with him as he adapts learning materials with your native tongue for a better understanding. Moreover Patrick's courses are a mix of grammar and discussion based on your demands and level.
