Prepáčte Excuse me/Sorry

Prepáčte, nerozumiem. I’m sorry, I don’t understand.

Nehovorím po slovensky. I don’t speak Slovak.

Môžete to, prosím, zopakovať? Can you please repeat it?

Môžete hovoriť pomalšie? Can you speak slower?

Ako sa to povie v angličtine? How do we say it in English?

Koľko to stojí? How much is…?

Kde je…? Where is?

Ako sa dostanem…? How can I get to…?

Potrebujem pomôcť.  I need help.

Čo je toto? What is this?

Čo to znamená? What does it mean?

Nech sa páči. Here you go.

Ďakujem. Thank you.


Veľa šťastia! Good luck!
