Today's episode is about the conjugation of the second group of the Slovak verbs that are slightly irregular in the present tense. You will also learn how to ask “Did they invite you to a party?” in Slovak.

Episode notes
In the Season 5 you learned how to conjugate the Slovak verbs that are slightly irregular in the present tense. In the last episode, we looked at the first group, the verbs with ending -ovať in the infinitive, and conjugated some of them in the past tense. Today we look at the second group. For example: pozvať (to invite), hádzať (to throw), písať (to write), česať (to comb), plakať (to cry), stať sa (to become), and so on. Then you will practice them in short sentences. You will also learn how to ask “Did they invite you to a party?” in Slovak.
