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 |

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
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 everyone! My name is Veronika Moguzova and I'm a teacher of Russian as a foreign language. I'm looking forward to start working with you and teach you to speak Russian from beginner to fluent speaker. I'll help you to understand the logic of my own language (yes, there is a logic in it:) and will make your studying very interesting!

So I teach students from zero level who further study in Russian at the university and high management of top companies and embassies to know Russian for living in here.
So I can teach you Russian for different purposes: from survival language to high-level speaker needed for further studying in it.
If you have questions I am ready to answer. Feel free to ask:)
