Translation tips
Six grammatical cases
Slovak nouns decline through six cases: nominative, genitive, dative, accusative, locative, instrumental. 'Bratislava' becomes 'Bratislavy', 'Bratislave', 'Bratislavu', 'Bratislavou' depending on function. DeepL applies all case endings correctly.
The rhythmic law — unique to Slovak
Slovak has a phonological rule found in no other language: two consecutive long syllables are not allowed. If a suffix would create this, the first long syllable shortens: 'krásny' → 'krásna' (not 'krásná' like in Czech). DeepL follows this rule.
Diacritics — háčky, dĺžne, and mäkčene
Slovak uses three diacritic types: dĺžeň (length mark: á, é, í, ó, ú, ý, ŕ, ĺ), háček (č, š, ž, ň, ď, ť, ľ), and two unique letters: ô (circumflex) and ä. Each changes pronunciation and meaning.
Very close to Czech — but not identical
Slovak and Czech are mutually intelligible but differ in vocabulary, grammar, and phonology. 'Beautiful' is 'krásny' in Slovak, 'krásný' in Czech. Slovak has the rhythmic law; Czech does not. DeepL treats them as separate languages.
Did you know? Slovak has two unique letters found in no other language: 'ô' (a diphthong /uo/) as in 'kôň' (horse), and 'ä' (a specific short vowel) as in 'päť' (five). These sounds have no equivalent in Czech or any other Slavic language.

Frequently asked questions
Does it handle all six Slovak cases?
Yes. DeepL correctly applies case endings to nouns, adjectives, and pronouns, including the animate/inanimate distinction in masculine accusative.
How does it compare to Czech translation?
DeepL treats Slovak and Czech as fully separate languages with their own grammar rules. Slovak output follows the rhythmic law, uses Slovak vocabulary, and produces Slovak-specific diacritics.
Are all Slovak diacritics correct?
Yes. Including ô and ä (unique to Slovak), the háček letters (ď, ť, ň, ľ, č, š, ž), and length marks on consonants (ŕ, ĺ) which are rare in other languages.
Is the output suitable for official documents?
Yes. The output uses standard written Slovak (spisovná slovenčina) as codified by the Slovak Academy of Sciences.
