Conjugation of the Slovak verb "byť"
The most important verb in general is the verb "to be", in Slovak "byť". Describing how the person looks like is mainly expressed with this verb. Let's have a look at the conjugation itself!
| Person | English | Slovak |
|---|---|---|
| 1st singular | I am | ja som |
| 2nd singular | you are | ty si |
| 3rd singular | he, she, it is | on, ona, ono je |
Note that:
- ja = I
- ty = you
- on = he
- ona = she
- ono = it
| Person | English | Slovak |
|---|---|---|
| 1st plural | we are | my sme |
| 2nd plural | you are | vy ste |
| 3rd plural | they are | oni, ony sú |
Note that:
- my = we
- vy = you (Plural/formal)
- oni, ony = they
Good to remember:
- Slovak language has both, singular and plural form of "you"
- "they" can be expressed in two ways: "oni" meaning they, men (or men and women together), "ony", meaning they, women (or children)
- "ja" is not written in capital letters as "I" in English
Conjugation of the Slovak verb "mať"
Let´s have a look on conjugation of "to have" in Slovak!
| Person | English | Slovak |
|---|---|---|
| 1st singular | I have | ja mám |
| 2nd singular | you have | ty máš |
| 3rd singular | he, she, it has | on, ona, ono má |
| Person | English | Slovak |
|---|---|---|
| 1st plural | we have | my máme |
| 2nd plural | you have | vy máte |
| 3rd plural | they have | oni majú |
Useful adjectives to describe the body

| English | Slovak |
|---|---|
| tall | vysoký |
| short | nízky |
| big | veľký |
| small | malý |
| thin | tenký |
| thick | plný |
| handsome, pretty | pekný |

I am very happy and satisfied that I can learn Slovak from Eva. She's doing a great job!
Eva T.
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!

Hello everybody. I am a native Turkish speaker. I growed up in Istanbul. Also I am a Turkish Language and Literature teacher/academic with 12 years of experience. I have a BA and MA degree. Now I am writing my doctoral dissertation. It's about 'Turkish Novels'.
I have 6 years experience in teaching Turkish to foreigners. Also I have a "Teaching Turkish as a Foreign Language Certicate". Now I am a teaching assistant in a university in Turkey.
Teaching is my passion. I motivate my students very well. I give them homeworks and follow their progress. My lessons are cheerful. My students usually say they feel relax in my lessons.
I have written a master thesis, two books and now I've been writing my PhD thesis. Turkish literature is my profession. When you made a lot of progress we will read and discuss on Turkish literary. I am a huge fan of Dostoyevksi. I think he is the best author off all times. My favourites from Turkish literary are Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar and İhsan Oktay Anar. Maybe we will be discussing their writings one day, who knows :)
I am a patient and cheerful teacher. Because I really love my job. I believe that I'm making language learning enjoyable and easy.
I gave lessons to so many adults. They were from several countries. I can understand my students' needs and organize the lessons according to my students' interests, wishes and their goals. Because I know that: everybody has not same reasons for learning Turkish.
Also I've studied with 12-18 aged teens for two years. I know their needs and I am good at getting along teenagers :)
I know that reality: every student is not same, so I schedule my lessons to each students' individual needs. I know that how a lesson goes more cheerful and educational. I'm using whiteboard in the lessons. (It's essential to explain grammatical points.) Also I am using a lesson book, pictures, flashcards, videos, recordings and and etc. I give homeworks to my students. I'm following my students' progresses.
Now, you know me some more :)
If you're still looking at my profile now probably you are interested in my Turkish courses. I know you are irresolute between to take a trial lesson or not. I know, it is a bit hard to find the right teacher that you can agree. And also I know you think whether learning Turkish is a good idea or not. I am here for meeting with you and answering your questions :) And also...
- I am going to assess your level
- We will find the best way you to learn Turkish language
After you've booked the trial lesson, please give me some information about you and your Turkish language level. If you demand, I am going to apply placement test.
Görüşmek üzere :)

Hilal is great. Very organized and attentive. The lessons flow nicely. She is able to quickly pick up on what I need more practice with and what is going well. So far so good :)
Hilal D.
Hi there,
I am glad to meet you.
First of all, let me congratulate you on the decision to learn or improve a new language. In your case this is Bulgarian.
My country, Bulgaria, is a beautiful country with nice and hospitable people. It is an ancient land with a great history and rich culture. Having learned our language you will be able to get in touch freely with our good people and country.
I come from the town of Vidin, Bulgaria. I am a qualified English and Bulgarian teacher. I graduated back in 1972 from Sofia University with an MA in English Philology and Bulgarian Philology as a second subject. Since then I have spent most of my professional career teaching Bulgarian students.
First of all, we will have a 20-30-minute trial lesson during which we can get to know each other, set expectations towards the lessons and schedule the timetable. The next step is simple - we start learning the language of your choice!
Cannot wait to meet you and help you on your journey to learn Bulgarian.
S. A.
Today we did some translation from an article from "Deutsche Welle" - very interesting topic, which makes it even more motivating.
