Word "uchilische" also exists in Russian, but it means "professional school" it's kind of college where students can come after middle school to get some professions which do not required to get a degree. 3. In Russian there are also words " lekar' ", "bazar".

[@HeroManNick132]

1. държава =/= держава. Е and Ъ are very different sounds. Russian has this sound as unstressed O which in many words with О like вопрос becomes въпрос in Bulgarian (basically pronounced the same but written differently). Macedonian kept that old form where О is presented not replaced with Ъ as in the Eastern dialects (just like Russian in some dialects kept the historical O sound). The only exception is the old form - жъртва became жертва like Russian. Macedonian kept it as жртва. Just like херой with герой. 2. That is basically ''школа'' in Bulgarian (she didn't mention that). The words are swapped. 3. Before 1945 we used to write ''лекарь'' but the er vowels got dropped off since they lost their sound and from soft Р became hard. The softness is kept when you add the articles - лекаря/лекарят.

A few things to throw in there as a Bulgaria, many of the words where Buglarian wasn't similar to other languages, we HAVE those words, but they're antics, left in our language that have been substituted by newer words and those old words are only really used in literature or you can find the remnants in things named after the word. A few examples - Forest - Гора, we also have the same word as everyone else Лес, this word however, now is only used in literature and some jobs are called after it, for example Лесничейство, which is pretty much the Forestry service or something of that sort, and the person is Лесничей. And in literature you can often find the forest to be referred to as "Лес" so pretty much any bulgarian would be able to tell what the word means, but it's just a remnant word that we've substituted almost completely now. Another example again from the video would be the word Voz that some use to describe a train. In bulgarian there is the word Kolovoz, which is the word we use to describe a few things, a railway in the trainstation, or a path made by vehicles wheels in for example the mud or snow. Bulgarian was modernized and simplified a lot after Bulgaria freed itself from Ottoman rule with the exact reasoning to make the language easier to understand and learn for both foreigners and locals. We've dropped the case system, which many have had issues with, so Bulgarian is on the easier side to learn, but just as hard if not harder than the rest to master. So now because of that we have ended up having a lot of well "remnant", "relic", or "dead" words that we usually don't use, but many other Slavic countries still use, yet we understand the meaning since these remnant words are either still used in literature, or the naming of certain things related to the orignal word.

Of all the Slavic languages, Serbs understand the Bulgarian language best. Of course not counting Croatian, Bosniak and Montenegrin, which is identical to Serbian.

A lot of similarities to Bahasa Malaysia, The only difference is that for airport , we will say Lapangan Terbang. And interestingly, Bandara if we add a “ya” to the end becoming “Bandaraya” then it means City. Then for Kota = City, we can understand that it means city cause it is a seldom used word.

In many cases Slavic languages may use synonyms with different frequency, but all the words or roots exist in all the languages. Like in English you may say country or land, or state, and in German it would be Land or Staat.

[@dashulikkarandashulik]

In Russian we can say strana, gosudarstvo, derzhava. These words have slightly different meanings.

[@SzalonyKucharz]

​@@dashulikkarandashulikThose words would have different meanings in Polish though. Strona means side or page and it is only used in reference to a piece of land as rather poetic metaphors, for example 'rodzinne strony' means homeland. Gospodarstwo means either household or agricultural household. And dzierżawa is a piece of leased land. Kraj or państwo mean country, the latter word also used as a form of address to a married couple: państwo Karolingów = Carolingian Empire; Państwo Karolak = Mr. and Mrs. Karolak.

[@dashulikkarandashulik]

@@SzalonyKucharz Hm, that's interesting. Strona is pretty close to our word Storona (сторона), which usually means «side», but can be used for the poetic metaphor of a country too (на чужой стороне - on the unfamiliar side, but means «in the unfamiliar country»). The most close synonym for Polish dzierżawa in Russian is arendovannaya zemlya (арендованная земля); arenda is «rent» or «lease» in English and zemlya is «land» in that case. Państwo as a country is Russian Gosudarstvo (государство). I think these two words were composed according to the same principle, because Polish Pan is literally translated in Russian as Gosudar' (государь) or Gospodin (господин).

[@dashulikkarandashulik]

@@SzalonyKucharz Gospodarstwo is a cool word indeed! I like the sound of it. So majestic. We have a similar sounding word Gospodstvo (господство) which can be translated to English like: «rule», «supremacy» or «dominance». Also, one of the appeals to God in Russian is Gospod' (Господь). Synonyms for Gospodarstwo, judging by the semantic description you gave, in Russian would be tzarskiy dvor (царский двор) = «royal household» or khozyajstvo (хозяйство) = «agricultural household».

[@dashulikkarandashulik]

@@SzalonyKucharz Ah! I remembered a word for an another meaning too. Państwo is Russian sooprugi (супруги). Państwo Kowalscy = sooprogi Kovalskiye (супруги Ковальские).

Русской девушке следовало дать несколько комментариев: Слово "лекарь" (lekar) все еще используется в русском языке, но в литературных произведениях, театре и кино. От слова "лекарь" (lekar) происходит слово "лекарства" (lekarstva) = медикаменты. "Училище" (uchilishe) - это обозначение учебного заведения, которое по статусу выше школы, но ниже университета. "Град" (Grad) - все еще широко используется в русском языке, хоть официально в грамматике правильно "Город" (Gorod), в названии городов - "Волгоград" (Volgograd), ранее использовалось "Ленинград, Петроград, Сталинград" (Leningrad, Pertograd, Stalingrad) и многих других городах. Есть и слова, которые образованы от него - "Градостроитель" (Gradostroitel), "Градоначальник" (Gradonachalnik). Grad/Gorod - ситуация очень похожа со словом Vrata/Vorota - их используют параллельно друг другу, но Vrata - это монументальные Vorota, когда ты говоришь "Врата в рай", "Врата в ад" или "Врата в большой замок" - то используешь именно "vrata", а если "ворота во двор дома" - то это именно "vorota". Русский язык прошел несколько реформ, поэтому нам очень легко понять слова из других славянских языков, которые официально не используются, но в сознании народа еще сохранились, ипользуются в искусстве и фольклоре. Если мы медленно читаем комментарии на сербском или польском языке даже, если они написаны латиницей, то 90% текста мы понимаем, даже если по-русски это записалось бы иначе, нам помогают синонимы и слова из фольклора понять, что именно хотел написать автор. Украинский язык понять еще легче, так как помимо текста, мы понимаем проще и произношение. От украинских друзей слышал, что украинцам одновременно легко понять и поляков, и русских, тк их произношение позволяет проще понимать оба языка, тк фонетически находится где-то по середине (Если здесь есть украинцы и я ошибся, то поправьте)

[@Robertoslaw.Iksinski]

Fun or not fun fact: Proper names of tribes or nations always come from their languages (not from foreign languages). Therefore word Samoyedic in Samoyedic languages has nothing to do with Slavic "samojedź" as "self-rider" or Slavic "samojad" as "self-eater" (in literal translation from Polish with use of rules Slavic word formation). For the same reason Turks and Turkey in Turkish has nothing to do with English name of one of domestic birds.

This can include geographical features, such as mountains, rivers, and soils.

Of course, it is all accompanied by slightly different accents, so nuanced that it is hard to discern. With regards to the word for forest, yes, in Serbian we call it 'šuma' (from the sound of the trees and their leaves in the wind - 'šum') but 'lug' is a word for a very small group of trees. 'Gora' can also mean forest, but 'gora' can also mean a hill or a mountain.

Watching this from Hungary (and being surrounded with Slavs) was interesting to see that how some of our words are very similar or same (like macska "cat"), or having a similar concept. Like for time we have a specific word "idő": what time is it? "mennyi az idő?". But we also use hour "óra" to refer that: "hány óra van?". (But this question is a bit context dependent, because óra means watch too, so the question could mean "how many watch are?" too. But "idő" also used for the weather, like what's the weather? "milyen az idő?". It's a bit more common way, the exact translation for weather would be "időjárás" (Like weather report-időjárás jelentés).

[@saxus]

@@bramantyoprahoro7284 I know, I visited it many times. And also there is Austria at the other end, but we have enough Slavs around us to say that we're surrounded.

[@Faral-kf5et]

@@saxus Interesting... For me, as someone who has no idea about Hungarian... Is there any modern language that sounds similar enough to Hungarians that they can understand a bit? Like Slavs from different countries? At school I was taught that Hungarian and Finnish are the same language family, but the similarities are only visible to linguists, right?

[@saxus]

@Faral-kf5et yes, how the Székely's speaking. :D Just kidding. As far as I know there is nothing near here. I'm not familiar with the Finnish language but it never sounded familiar to me. It's more "bouncy" for me with a lot of t/p/k. As far as I know it's more similar in the logic behind the language, the way how they form sentences, words, etc. - what you mentioned too. But I feel how those things can influence each other: like when I hear Hungarian Csángós speaking Hungarian in Moldva (north-eastern part of Romania, not Moldova) I have the feeling that they adapted some structures from Romanians. Like we say "István bácsi" (Uncle Stephen), but they say "bácsi István", similarly how Romanians would say ("nenea István" if I know correctly) And because Hungarians settled down like 1100 years ago in Central Europe and adapted a lot of words from all surrounding languages (from Slavs, Germans, Ottomans, Latin, nowadays from English), I think it's even harder to find similar sounding language. Maybe in Central Asia but the differences in words will be big probably.

[@Faral-kf5et]

​​@@saxusThank you very much for a very interesting and comprehensive answer. I've always been interested in especially in the context of what we are taught here in Poland about Finns and Hungarians. It sounded somehow... sad. We all (Slavs) here get excited about how similar we are, how many of us there are, etc. Don't you feel lonely with what you said? ☺️ (of course I know that no normal person thinks about something like this on a daily basis 😉)

As a Bulgarian, I can say that I learnt English first by watching Cartoon Network shows as kid, having English lessons in kindergarten and English in school. I also went to private English lessons as a kid. Also, as a person, who has a PhD in Archaeology and wrote a thesis, I used sources in different languages, including Serbian, Ukrainian and Russian. P. S: Love the Boho look that Ilyana is sporting in the video.

The Cyrillic alphabet comes from Bulgaria. The root of the alphabet is the slavic language that bulgarains speak in that time and region that include parts of Bulgaria,Serbia,North Macedonia,Albania,Greece and was given to all slavs from Czhechia to Russia through ortodox cristian missions , that`s why we all have almost the same alphabet.

[@janakolasinac1686]

😂 Old school talks. Blgarian language is of turic origin, you speak an Serbian dialect. Serbs had the alphabet before Cyril and Metodius (which were of mixed Serbian-Greek ancestry). That's why they go to Moravska and to north east to spread the azbuka. Strojimirov pečat (seal) is made in Serbian language redaction 80 years before Cyrille and Metodius were born!!!

"Mesec" originally slavic version of "Luna", it became month because people used to count months based on moon/lunar phases, new month started with "new moon", thats why "mesec" is both moon phase and unit of time, "polumesec" - half-moon, full moon is "polnolunie" and "Luna" became a space object itself. The english word "month" is based on same logic if you add another "O" and make it "moonth" it will be more obvious.

[@MalinaJagodzinski]

That's so interesting. So much to say about the word "moon" alone. :) Btw. funny though how nobody in the video mentioned how the Polish word for moon was the outlier of them all 😄

[@barbiethingz]

Idk how in polish we got „księżyc” for „moon” since for the word „month” we also have „miesiąc” which sounds more similar to other slavic languages

About learning English and old generation. In school my dad used to learn German. He almost didn't say a word in English. And afterwards he went to college and in final years of education he started to work as a chemist (i don't remember exactly in what kind of direction 😅) and there were some foreign textbooks, colleges, articles. And my dad started to learn English w/ basic words and special chemicals terms at the same time. It was difficult for the first time. Later, he even took special courses to improve his skills in English.
