Slovak is pretty amazing [Považuj každý deň ako svoj najlepši]

One more day in this country. For now. Oh-oh. I will miss it – will try to keep learning some Slovak in the future – even though I haven’t been so active about learning it since I moved here, mostly because of the constant lack of time.

At this moment in time I understand Slovak pretty well, but when trying to speak it, it all turns into a fabulous mix consisting mainly of Polish with some Russian and some Slovak thrown in.

Anyways. I think proverbs are fun, so I decided to post some Slovak ones. See how pretty the language is? And wise? Smile You other Slavic speakers may practice your guessing skills….

 

S pravdou najd’alej zajdeš.

Človeka pri pijatyke a pri hre poznáš.

Silená modlitba nejde do neba.

Na zajtra je len hnev dobre odkladať.

Do domu, kde láska byva, slniečko sa rado diva.

Kto nemá v hlave, má v pätách.

Premôž svoj hnev, pokým je malý.

Považuj každý deň ako svoj najlepši.

Lepši chlebik v pokojí, ako koláč v rozbroji.
