For example, “bicykel” means bicycle, while “bicyklovať sa” means to cycle. Learning words in these related pairs can make it easier to build your vocabulary. Note 2: The verb “ísť” means to go, and its first-person form “idem” can also be used to talk about what you are about to do or plan to do. It is commonly followed by an activity: “Idem sa bicyklovať” (I’m going cycling); “Idem kempovať” (I’m going camping); “Idem opekať” (I’m going to barbecue/grill outdoors). With destinations or activities expressed as nouns, you can also say “idem na túru” (I’m going for a hike) or “idem na hory” (I’m going to the mountains). Note 3: In Slovakia, don’t confuse “kúpať sa” with “plávať”. The first one means to bathe or to enjoy being in the water, while “plávať” specifically means to swim. You’ll also come across “kúpalisko”, an outdoor swimming and bathing facility. Veronika Ščepánová, Photo: RSI
