[edit] Proofreading Center

Some things still have to be done by speakers of Slovak. Please leave a note about what you are doing or have done in the following list of tasks.

[edit] Monolingual page

The monolingual page has to be proof-read by someone who knows Slovak well; please correct the mistakes you find and make a list of your corrections here, so that other people can use your list to correct the bilingual pages. While doing this, look if someone else has already listed mistakes they spotted on this talk page.

[edit] Bilingual pages

The bilingual pages should be proof-read after the monolingual page is corrected, so that the mistakes spotted there can already be used. Please have a look at the talk pages of the bilingual pages, too, to see if someone else has already made comments about mistakes there.

[edit] Maps

Someone should look through the semasiological maps of those words where there have been mistakes in the monolingual page and adapt them.

[edit] Translations needed

  • Please put a Slovak translation of "<center>'''Slavonic false friends in Slovak'''</center>" between {{FFMonoHead|...}} and {{FFStart}} at the head of the monolingual page.
  • The bilingual pages should have headings in the respective languages, in separate lines (i.e. with an empty line between them in the edit window) below the main heading. So we need the following Slovak translations:
  • "<center>'''Slovak-Russian false friends'''</center>" below {{FFHead...}} (above the Russian heading, if it exists) at the head of the Slovak-Russian page.
  • "<center>'''Slovak-Belarusian false friends'''</center>" below {{FFHead...}} (above the Belarusian heading, if it exists) at the head of the Slovak-Belarusian page.
  • "<center>'''Slovak-Ukrainian false friends'''</center>" below {{FFHead...}} (above the Ukrainian heading, if it exists) at the head of the Slovak-Ukrainian page.
  • "<center>'''Slovak-Polish false friends'''</center>" below {{FFHead...}} (above the Polish heading, if it exists) at the head of the Slovak-Polish page.
  • "<center>'''Slovak-Kashubian false friends'''</center>" below {{FFHead...}} (above the Kashubian heading, if it exists) at the head of the Slovak-Kashubian page.
  • "<center>'''Slovak-Lower Sorbian false friends'''</center>" below {{FFHead...}} (above the Lower Sorbian heading, if it exists) at the head of the Slovak-Lower Sorbian page.
  • "<center>'''Slovak-Upper Sorbian false friends'''</center>" below {{FFHead...}} (above the Upper Sorbian heading, if it exists) at the head of the Slovak-Upper Sorbian page.
  • "<center>'''Slovak-Czech false friends'''</center>" below {{FFHead...}} (above the Czech heading, if it exists) at the head of the Slovak-Czech page.
  • "<center>'''Slovak-Slovenian false friends'''</center>" above {{FFStart}} (under the Slovenian heading, if it exists) at the head of the Slovak-Slovenian page.
  • "<center>'''Slovak-Croatian false friends'''</center>" above {{FFStart}} (under the Croatian heading, if it exists) at the head of the Slovak-Croatian page.
  • "<center>'''Slovak-Bosnian false friends'''</center>" above {{FFStart}} (under the Bosnian heading, if it exists) at the head of the Slovak-Bosnian page.
  • "<center>'''Slovak-Serbian false friends'''</center>" above {{FFStart}} (under the Serbian heading, if it exists) at the head of the Slovak-Serbian page.
  • "<center>'''Slovak-Macedonian false friends'''</center>" above {{FFStart}} (under the Macedonian heading, if it exists) at the head of the Slovak-Macedonian page.
  • "<center>'''Slovak-Bulgarian false friends'''</center>" above {{FFStart}} (under the Bulgarian heading, if it exists) at the head of the Slovak-Bulgarian page.

[edit] Slovak "stolica" (transferred from the main talk page)

I found here missing primary meaning of the Slovak word stolica which is in English excrement or perhaps the Russian испражнения (I am not sure about the correct singular version of the word). But only describing human excrements. The meaning chair is very rare - mostly as Svätá Stolica for the Holy See. For chair or seat there is the word stolička - which is literally little (or smaller) stolica - or the word kreslo, armchair.

All this is true also about the Czech word stolice. (židle=chair,seat, křeslo=armchair)

I like this project very much, but I am not familiar with it, so please help me to fix that until I will be able to do changes by myself. --Hlucho 21:56, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Additional notes by native Slovak speaker

  • There is a word "studený" in Slovak that means "cold".
  • There is a word "stôl" in Slovak that means "table".
  • There is a word "dvorec" in Slovak that means "(tennis) court". It is derived from "dvor" which means "yard".
  • I have never heard someone saying "jahoda" meaning "berry", it always means "strawberry" (the "berry" meaning may be present in some dialects, but I am not aware of any such dialect).
  • The word "matka" in the meaning of "nut (to screw on a bolt)" is often used in informal Slovak, however officially it is incorrect to use it this way.


[edit] Szukać

Hi dear slavic brothers Slovaks, my dear sharers of my beloved Tatras. Please, have mercy on us Poles, when you hear the word "szukać" which, as far as I know, in your language means "to f**ck", however in Polish, it means "to look for", like in "I'm looking for an accomodation". So, i hope you'll be understanding, keeping in mind what this word means in Polish, and you won't be taking any Pole who says "szukać" for a pervert or cad. S pozdravom!Maciejek
