Irregular Verbs are an important aspect of Slovak grammar. Unlike regular verbs, these verbs undergo significant changes when conjugated. They do not follow a set pattern and they change in a variety of ways in different contexts. It’s crucial for Slovak language learners to familiarize themselves with these for frequent usage in conversational and written Slovak.
