Visiting a grocery store or local market in Slovakia can be a fun way to experience daily life and practice the language. From fresh fruit to bakery items or even chatting with the cashier, every visit is a small language challenge!
Prices, packaging, and store layouts might be different from what you're used to. Some smaller shops may not speak English, so knowing a few Slovak phrases can really help.
Useful Slovak phrases for shopping:
-
Koľko to stojí? – How much does it cost?
-
Prosím si... – I’d like...
-
Máte... ? – Do you have...?
-
To je všetko. – That’s all.
-
Môžem platiť kartou? – Can I pay by card?
-
Ďakujem, do videnia. – Thank you, goodbye.
