Which statement describes the Slovak rhythmic law (rytmický zákon)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. Two long syllables do not normally follow each other in a word
- Step 1: The law concerns the length of syllables in native Slovak words. Step 2. After a long syllable (such as krá-) the next syllable is short, so the ending is -ny and not -ný. Answer: no two long syllables in a row. Why not the others: Slovak stress falls on the first syllable, and the other rules do not exist.
