Today's episode is about the verb “mať". Then you'll practice it in short sentences.
Episode notes
Last week we practiced the Slovak modal verb in the present tense. Today we are going to look at the verb “mať" (This modal verb means "should”). Then we'll practice it in short sentences.
1. Conjugation of “mať” – Present Tense:
Singular: mám (I should) Plural: máme (we should)
máš (you should) máte (you should)
má (he, she, it should) majú (they should)
2. Negation of the modal verb “mať” in the Present Tense: Negating modal verbs in Slovak is rather straightforward. The negation particle “ne” is used before the modal verb:
Singular: nemám (I should not) Plural: nemáme (we should not)
nemáš (you should not) nemáte (you should not) nemá (he, she, it should not) nemajú (they should not)
Vocabulary
1. kabelka (handbag)
2. skriňa (wardrobe)
3. narodeniny (birthday)
4. oslavovať (to celebrate)
5. nudiť sa (to be bored)
6. poradiť (to advise)
7. otvoriť (to open)
8. balík (package)
9. nahnevať sa (to get angry)
10. myslieť (to think)
Short dialogues:
1. Wife: Táto kabelka je taká pekná. Mám si ju kúpiť? (This handbag is so pretty. Should I buy it?)
Husband: Nemáš. Doma máš skriňu plnú takých kabeliek. (You shouldn‘t. You have a closet full of handbags like that at home.)
2. Ivana má dilému, kde má oslavovať svoje narodeniny. (Ivana is in a dilemma about where she should celebrate her birthday.)
Má ich osláviť doma alebo v reštaurácií? (Should she celebrate it at home or in a restaurant?)
3. Chlapci, nemáme radšej počkať s otvorením balíka na otca? (Guys, shouldn't we wait to open the package for dad?
Hej, máme, aby sa na nás nenahneval. Balík je na jeho meno. (Yeah, we should, so he doesn't get mad at us. The package is in his name.)
4. Čo myslíš, Ľubo, mám ísť na ples športovcov alebo nie. Ja nie som žiadny športovec. (What do you think, Ľubo, should I go to the sports ball or not? I'm not a sports person.
Máš. Bude tam veľa zábavy. A bude tam veľa nešportovcov, nebudeš sám. (You should. It's going to be a lot of fun. And there will be a lot of non-sports people there, you won't be alone.)
5. Teenager: Mami, tak sa nudím. (Mom, I'm so bored.)
Mom: Mám ti poradiť, čo robiť? (Should I give you some advice on what to do?)
Teenager: Radšej nie, ďakujem. (No, rather not, thank you.)
Mám ti poradiť? (Should I give you some advice?)
