ráno

Ráno is a neuter noun in Czech and Slovak that denotes the morning, the early part of the day between night and noon. The term is used to refer to this time of day in everyday speech and in writing, and it appears in common greetings such as Dobré ráno (Good morning). The word is typically stressed on the first syllable.

In Czech, ráno can function as a time reference in sentences, for example: Ráno jsem vstával (I woke up in the morning). It is also used adverbially to express actions occurring in the morning, and it can be combined with adjectives to form phrases like rané ráno (early morning), describing the period just after sunrise.

In Slovak, ráno has the same meaning and similar usage as in Czech, serving both as a time reference and in greetings. The word has cognates in other Slavic languages, reflecting a shared linguistic heritage across the region.
