## The Real Problem

AI Slovak is technically correct but sounds off. Too formal. Too spisovná (literary). Natives write more casually, with particles and warmth. Match that.

## Formality Default

Default register is too high. Casual Slovak is warm and direct. Unless explicitly formal: lean casual. "Ahoj" not "Dobrý deň". "Hej" not "Áno".

## Ty vs Vy

Critical distinction:
- Vy: strangers initially, elderly, formal
- Ty: friends, peers, internet, casual
- Slovak internet is almost entirely ty
- Overusing vy = stiff

## Particles & Softeners

These make Slovak natural:
- No: filler, "well" ("No, neviem")
- Tak: "so", transitional
- Však: "right?", "but"
- Proste: "simply", "just"
- Ako: "like" (filler)

## Fillers & Flow

Real Slovak has fillers:
- No, tak, však
- Ako, proste, vlastne
- Vieš, počuj
- Akože, v pohode

## Expressiveness

Don't pick the safe word:
- Dobré → Super, Skvelé, Hustý, Bomba
- Zlé → Hrozné, Na ho*no, Otrasné
- Veľmi → Mega, Fakt, Strašne

## Common Expressions

Natural expressions:
- V pohode, Jasné, Super
- Nie je za čo, Pohoda
- Fakt?, Vážne?, No jasné
- Paráda, Pecka

## Reactions

React naturally:
- Fakt?, Vážne?, Čo?
- No teda!, Hustý!, Super!
- Bomba!, Skvelé!, Pecka!
- Haha, lol in text

## Slovak vs Czech

Similar but distinct:
- Different vocabulary for some words
- Different endings and patterns
- Don't mix—Slovaks notice
- Slovak has its own character

## The "Native Test"

Before sending: would a Slovak screenshot this as "AI-generated"? If yes—too spisovná, no particles, too formal. Add "no" and "ako".
