Welcome to Unit 4 of the Complete 0 to A1 Slovak Course! In this lesson, we will be focusing on vocabulary related to household chores and running errands. These are activities that we do on a daily or weekly basis, and knowing the relevant words and phrases will greatly improve your ability to communicate with Slovak speakers in everyday situations.
It's important to note that chores and errands can vary depending on where you live and your personal circumstances. The vocabulary we will cover in this lesson is quite general, so feel free to adapt it to your specific context as needed.
Let's get started!
Take some time to dive into these other pages after completing this lesson: Months of the Year & Language.
Chores
Chores are tasks that we do to keep our living spaces clean and organized. Here are some common chores that you might do:
Cleaning
- vysávať (vy-sa-vaht) - to vacuum
- umyť okná (oo-mit ohk-na) - to wash the windows
- vytierať prach (vy-tyeh-raht prahkh) - to dust
- utierať (oo-tyehr-aht) - to wipe
Laundry
- prať (praht) - to wash
- sušiť (soo-sheeth) - to dry
- žehliť (zheh-leet) - to iron
- zložiť (zloh-zheet) - to fold
Cooking
- variť (vah-reet) - to cook
- piecť (pyehtscht) - to bake
- krájať (krahyat) - to chop
You can use these verbs with different nouns to describe specific actions. For example, to wash the dishes is umývať riad, and to make the bed is robiť posteľ.
Here is a table with more examples:
| Slovak | Pronunciation | English |
|---|---|---|
| upratovať | oo-pra-toh-vaht | to clean up |
| navláčiť posteľné prádlo | nah-vlaa-cheet po-stehl-nyeh praa-dlo | to put on bed linens |
| oprať oblečenie | oh-praht oh-bleh-cheh-nyeh | to wash clothes |
| žehliť košeľu | zheh-leet ko-sheh-loo | to iron a shirt |
Errands
Errands are tasks that we do outside of the home, such as grocery shopping, going to the post office, or picking up dry cleaning.
Here are some common errands in Slovak:
- ísť na nákupy (eest na naa-koop-ih) - to go shopping
- ísť do pošty (eest do posh-ty) - to go to the post office
- ísť k lekárovi (eest k lye-ka-roh-vee) - to go to the doctor
- ísť na poštu (eest na posh-too) - to go to the bank
You can use the verb ísť (to go) with different nouns to describe specific activities. For example, to go to the grocery store is ísť do obchodu, and to go to the library is ísť do knižnice.
Here is a table with more examples:
| Slovak | Pronunciation | English |
|---|---|---|
| vybaviť si platbu | vee-bah-veet see plaht-boo | to make a payment |
| vyzdvihnúť balík | vyzdvee-eh-noot bah-leek | to pick up a package |
| zohnať darček | zoh-nat daa-r-chehk | to find a gift |
| odovzdať knihu v knižnici | oh-dovz-daht kni-hoo v kni-sh-nee-tsi | to return a book to the library |
Learning these words and phrases will make your life in Slovakia much easier, whether you're living here temporarily or for the long term. Don't be afraid to practice and make mistakes - it's all part of the learning process!
That's it for our lesson on chores and errands. In the next lesson, we will be focusing on vocabulary related to free time activities. See you then!
