Nudiť sa / znudený
I have a question about ,,ona sa nudí" and ,,ona je znudená"

Because in English we use the passive voice for both examples ("she is bored"), how do I decide the difference in Slovak?

Does ,,ona je znudená" suggest there is something in particular which is boring her (and if so, do I use genitív or inštrumentál case to describe it)?

Vďaka vopred!

Answer

Byt znudeny is sort of an outcome of the process described as nudit sa. With nudit sa you also do not directly connect the source of boredom as with byt znudeny z. E.g. Nudi sa, pretoze nema co robit./Je znudena z nicnerobenia. Despite little nuances it's the same thing.

Answer

I see little difference, but I can be wrong. :)

Ona je znudená - She looks bored.
Ona sa nudí. - She has nothing to do. (It's not needed that she looks bored. )

Ona je znudená z filmu (z koncertu, zo školy, z práce). Yes, it is genitív.
