Ron, I disagree, if we dont hold to the Slovak traditions as they were when our ancestors came from Slovakia, and change them to meet our current times, then...
Vlad, The traditions have their own values as we do hold them, and they bring joy to us as we continue them. When I say they will change, I look upon cultures...

Tuxedo???? "Smoking" is the standard word for tuxedo. I've checked a couple of dictionaries and can't find anything else. The root of all these words is...
I find it pretty funny that there would even be a word for tuxedo in the Slovak language, and it's also interesting that "smoking" would be the substitute -- ...

William, My wife is not Slovak either, but when she married me, she accepted me for who I am. I am born of Slovak parents also, and my wife is Danish, but she...
Ron, I guess some things are more important to some people than they are to others. I prefer to keep traditions as they were when my grandparents came to this...
... Tuxedos were worn by the wealthy all over Europe, Caye. The rich in Slovakia were no exception. The word _smoking_ is common in many European languages....
Martin, I know that -mok-/-moc~ has nothing to do with 'smoking'. I guess I didn't make myself clear. I was referring to all the earlier words we'd talked...
... Clearly, I've lost track of the thread, Helen. I thought you and RU explained the other words: as you said, the root in them is -mok-/-moc~-, which...
fMartin, I disagree with you also. Since 1906 when my grandparents arrived here, they had the same Christmas eve meal. My mother and father continued it, un...
Hi everyone! Long time ago on this I mentioned that I was fond of some of the old polkas that my grandparents listened to. We used to have a stack of 78 on...
