Slovak language has 7 cases which are applied to nouns, pronouns, adjectives and numerals. Let's have a look at explanations when we use specific case and what are the questions related to each case in order to find the different forms of words.
Nominative is the basic and primary case. It is the infinitive form of the word, not changed at all, basically what you find in dictionary. The question we ask with this case is:
Examples: otec, mama, dieťa
Take online language lessons with a professional teacher
Genitive is the second case. It usually refers to ownership. The help questions we ask are:
or
Examples: (od/bez) otca, mamy, dieťaťa
Dative is always the 3rd case. The questions we ask are:
or short-form "Komu? Čomu?" (To whom? To what?)
Examples: (dám) otcovi, mame, dieťaťu
The fourth case is always identified with these questions:
or Who do I see? What do I see?
Examples: (vidím) otca, mamu, dieťa
Accusative case is used very often, because it is usually connected with the verbs of action! For example vidieť (to see), robiť (to do), mať (to have), kresliť (to draw), stavať (to build)...
Locative is the 6th. The questions with this case are as follows:
Examples: (o) otcovi, mame, dieťati
Good thing to remember about Locative is that it always comes with prepositions!
The last 7th case is Instrumental. The questions we ask with this case are:
Examples: (s) otcom, mamou, dieťaťom
As you could find out, we gave jumped from 4th case to 6th without mentioning 5th one. It is because vocative is not used anymore.
It is similar to Nominative, as it represents some of the addressing of people. It is separated with comma(s).
For example: Otec, ako sa máš?
Now, let's do the exercise to see if you remember all of the cases.
Unlike in other platforms, all our teachers are manually verified by our professional team. Trust in the experiences of our students.
Hi there!
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). I gained a Doctor of Philosophy degree (PhD.) in Social Work and completed an Additional Pedagogical Education. As a PhD student, I gained experience in teaching. I´ve more than four-year experience in teaching. I enjoy teaching, working with people and speaking in English.
We can focus on whatever you wish to practise and I can take you through a structured course and I will supply you with all of the required materials. Lessons dependent on the student's needs - grammar, speaking, writing, reading or listening. I can help you with all aspects of Slovak.
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!

I am a BA in Education graduate, with vast experience in primary, secondary and higher education levels, as well as in other activities related to education. I believe I have a diverse background which makes me a very adaptable teacher and with a lot to offer.
Most of my experience is in high school ,in adult education and university students. I have been able to develop a good relationship with my students, which has translated to better communication and an altogether more rounded experience for them and myself. My lesson planning has always aimed to reflect my students’ needs and interest applied into useful communicative language structures that they can actually use in their lives.
In my last years as a teacher, I have focused on preparing test-takers for the TOEFL. It has been a completely different experience from what I have had before, but I have helped my students accomplish the desired scores in the proposed time.
I believe in making the learning of a new language something exciting and not frightening at all, but challenging and gratifying instead. My material is dynamic and keeps my students engaged and continuesly developing their communiation skills.
I am flexible with my students' time and shcedule; naturally, it is open for deliberation if needed. I look forward to helping you get to the desired goals you set foryourself!

My major goal is to boost your confidence so that you will communicate better in every situation. During our first lesson, I will determine your speaking skills and we will discuss the areas that you need to progress. Then, after our first lesson, I will send you a comprehensive level test so that I will know your level of English.
