Reflexive pronouns
Reflexive pronouns are also divided into two groups: basic and possessive. In this group, there are only 3 pronouns, which are very important in Slovak language.
Examples:
- Očešem sa. = I will comb my own hair.
- Požičal mi svoj kabát. = He borrowed me his own coat.
- Mám rada svoju sestru. = I like my own sister.
Demonstrative pronouns
As you probably know, Slovak language does not have articles. However, demonstrative pronouns may serve as definite articles. Find more in our lesson, and learn how to say "this", "these", "that", "those" in Slovak language.
Examples:
- Toto jablko je dobré. = This apple is good.
- Tá kabelka je pekná. = That handbag is nice.
- Kto sú títo ľudia? = Who are these people?
Interrogative pronouns (question words) and relative pronouns
The interrogative pronouns serve as question words. The relative pronouns look the same as interrogative pronouns, however, they are not used with questions, but answers.
Examples:
- Prečo si to urobil? = Why did you do that?
- Pôjdem kam chcem. = I will go where I want.
- Kto chýba? = Who is missing?
Indefinite pronouns and delimiting pronouns
In Slovak language we use the indefinite pronouns for naming the things, people, animals, etc., which we are not certain about. Delimiting pronouns are the opposite of the indefinite pronouns, as we delimit the things, people, animals, etc.
Examples:
- Každý niečo povedal. = Everybody said something.
- Kamkoľvek idem, beriem si mobil. = Wherever I go, I take my phone with me.
- Budú tam všetci. = Everybody will be there.
Now, let's have a look at each one of the groups in detail in our sub-lessons.
