What does “risk je zisk” mean in Slovak?
As a woman’s mind races over a simple choice, she finally commits with a rhyme: «Risk je zisk» (“risk is profit”). It’s the Slovak (and Czech) way to say “nothing ventured, nothing gained.”
The charm is the rhyme: risk and zisk (“profit, gain”) chime perfectly, the kind of snappy proverb that sticks. You throw it out before a gamble big or small, a bet, a bold order, a leap of faith. The sketch plays it for laughs, the overthinking brain that finally blurts “risk je zisk!” and just goes for it.
