Fun fact: In 2008, a Slovak sitcom called Ano, miláčik (Yes, darling) premiered during mid-week primetime. Sadly, the funny show lasted only one season, but the phrase is still as alive and popular as ever.
Example Dialog
Let’s exercise these love words we learned in the example dialog below!
Martin: Ahoj, zlatko. Si krásna. (Hi, sweetheart. You are beautiful.)
Zuzana: Ahoj, miláčik. Ďakujem. Robíš ma šťastnou. (Hi, darling. You make me happy.)
Martin: Mám ťa veľmi rád. Chceš so mnou chodiť? (I like you very much. Do you want to date me?)
Zuzana: Áno. Som do teba a myslím, že ťa ľúbim! (Yes. I am into you and I think I love you!)
Let‘s Recap I love You Thing
There are two ways to say this in Slovak that have a slight intensity difference in meaning. I am a native Slovak speaker so that I can discern them quite well, but it might be difficult for a foreigner that doesn’t have these distinctions in their language. One that comes to mind that has it is Spanish, with the te quiero/te amo distinction. The Slovak one is pretty much equivalent to this, you could say “Ľúbim ťa” as an equivalent to “te quiero” in Spanish, or a less intense, not so lasting perhaps, feeling, and “Milujem ťa” to signify something like “te amo,” an expression which implies strong, lasting, committed love. Hope that helped.
