Can they understand Ukrainian? | Mutual Intelligibility Test | feat.

The Ukrainian language belongs to the family of Slavic languages. In this video comparison you can see to what extent these languages (Ukrainian vs Polish vs Croatian vs Czech) are mutually intelligible.
Mutual intelligibility is the ability of speakers of different languages to understand each other without prior knowledge or special effort.
This video is for you if you'd like to learn Ukrainian or you just want to see how much you're able to understand it off the cuff. The video has subtitles in multiple languages but I'd recommend for you to challenge yourself by listening to spoken Ukrainian before you turn them on.

Norbert, I have an idea for your video. Most slavic nations use latin abetka and people are embarrassed to see Cyrillic abetka . In order to show our slavic neighbours how similar our languages are- take some your regular Ukrainian guest and ask them to write down some Ukrainian words with latin transcription and show to other guest who make guesses about meaning.

[@jaycorwin1625]

Very cool, Norbert. I'm not sure about the Czech speaking people, but I could understand almost everything the guy said in Ukrainian, I think because it's like Russian with tons of Polish mixed in. And my memory of Polish isn't too great, and not of Russian, either. It must be super easy for people in Poland to understand.

[@springfine7774]

​@@jaycorwin1625the Ukrainian language phonetically is absolutely not similar to Russian. The Ukrainian language has fewer common features with the Russian language than with the Serbian language, so do not manipulate from Russian methods.

[@jaycorwin1625]

​@@springfine7774 I I didn't say anywhere that it is phonetically similar to Russian. I made a point about what I could understand, which is unrelated to politics. "Manipulate from Russian methods" tells me your English needs help. Maybe you should ask if The Red Cross offers classes in your camp.

@HeroManNick132 YEAH THE PUDDLE PART WAS SO BAD. In general, there are a lot of moments I would suggest doing differently. for example, the word for "man"(male) is чоловік which sounds more general like a "human" for others, so if he wanted to specify, there is a (colloquial) word мужчина, which would be more helpful

[@dominik2327]

As for a Polish speaker, at times it felt overwhelming. Even if there was enough cognates to make perfect sense of most sentences, it was just way too fast. I guessed all the words eventually as the speaker tried different ways to break them down, but in that video I even somehow understood Croatian better.

[@Asdasxel]

As a Czech I had problems understanding. The main problem for me was the speed. I think the key to understanding among Slavic languages is speaking slowly. It is then easy to catch keywords and similar words to my language from which I can then deduce meaning of sentences and words. But Adam was able to understand OK, so maybe the problem is my unfamiliarity with eastern Slavic languages.

Trzeci problem to 'false friends': čolovik to "mężczyzna/muškarac/muž", a nie człowiek/čovjek/člověk. 'Zaraz' znaczy 'teraz/sad/teď' , a nie 'zaraz/usokoro/hned'. Bardzo sympatyczni uczestnicy!

W czeskim i słowackim g też w zasadzie nie występuje i zamiast niego jest dźwięczne h. Długie o, czyli polskie ó skracane jest do _i_ w sylabach zamkniętych (czyli zakończonych spółgłoską). Podobnie rzecz ma się z niektórymi jatami: wiatr = вітер (witer); powietrze = повітря (powitrja). W sylabach otwartych pozostaje _o_ . Zatem słowa = _слова_ (sl'ova), ale słów = _слів_ (sliw). O długie na początku wyrazu często przechodzi w _ві_ , podobnie jak w niektórych dialektach polskiego (np. w wielkopolskim) początkowe o przechodzi w stronę u spógłoskowotwórczego, czyli łu/ło/łe (łejery, łokno, łun, łodydź = o jery! okno, on, odejdź). Miękkiego r w ukraińskim w zasadzie nie ma, podczas gdy w polskim to rz - zatem krzyczeć = _кричати_ (kryczaty). Natomiast w porównaniu z rosyjskim czy białoruskim nie występuje akanie. Rzadko występujące miękkie t nie dryfuje w stronę cj (standard w białoruskim i tendencja w rosyjskim), czy nawet ć (jak ma to miejsce standardowo w polskim i niektórych dialektach białoruskiego), za to często wymawiane jest twardo jako ty. Podobnie rzecz ma się z dźwięcznym odpowiednikiem t, czyli d: miękkie d nie ucieka w stronę dzj (standard w białoruskim i tendencja w rosyjskim) podczas, gdy w polskim przechodzi w dź/dzi. Dziwny = дивний (dywnyj). Generalnie dobre osłuchanie się z fonetyczną specyfiką ukraińskiego, a w jeszcze większym stopniu białoruskiego baaaardzo przybliża rozumienie przez osoby polskojęzyczne, bez konieczności ekstensywnego poszerzania słownictwa. Jeśli jeszcze zwrócić uwagę na przebiegające ze wschodu na zachód kontinuum dialektyczne, to się przyjemnie zdziwić można, kiedy na zachodzie Ukrainy dobrze wiedzą co to jest korek (uliczny), filiżanka, lody, kogut czy truskawka.

у нас теж схоже слово для інфекції та гниви існує - "зараза", такий сам випадок є як і у словах "образ / образа"! вживання букви "і" у різних словах де нема в інших мовах є результат перетворення звуку старої літери у кирилиці на інший у різних мовах - про це може пояснити краще канал "ідея олександрівна" під заголовком "чому кажемо Азіров" чи щось там схоже у нас теж часом вживається буква ґ для g замість г / h, думаю залежить в якому діалекті вона вимовляється, дуже часто у західніх, особливо гуцульський чи закарпатський і навіть волинський і галицький приклади: ґанок, ґудзик, ґвалт, ґава, ґуздратись, ґазда, ґаджети (позичене від "gadgets"), ґуля, дзиґа, ґума, і.т.д.

This usage of the “tourist” cognate as specifically a backpacker or a hiker is also not present in most of the Romance or Germanic languages, which have a separate word for someone who goes camping, so I was also caught a little off guard at the beginning because I didn’t associate lighters or campfires with your usual “tourists”.

Потрібна якась міра, тобто "ватра" в даному випадку було б вже занадто, але з цим згоден, надити це в суціль рідковживане слово

[@avudus]

"Наживка" то скоріше русизм.

[@dworkina.9015]

"принада" and "наживка" are both incomprehensible to me. "вогнище" translates to me as "krb/fireplace", which is a place in a house (in the shade) made of stone where an open fire is made and which has a chimney. If it was made of metal, it is a kamna/stove. "вогнище" sounds exactly the same as "ohniště/fireplace" only pronounced slang with a V at the beginning "vohniště" and it actually means a place where a fire is made in the forest, which is usually surrounded by a circle of stones. You will use this name even if it is no longer burning there, because it is a place. I myself would not use the word that I had as a translation as "táborák/camper". Because for me, that's "the big fire you make in the tábor/ camp, where you stack the logs in a pyramid", but when you go to the forest, you just make a "oheň/fire". There is a Slovak word "vatra" which sounds like "ватра", but it is connected to a large signaling fire.

I'm not a Slav, but I tried my best at understanding what was said in this video. This is not the first time I hear the Ukrainian language, but I definitely had a harder time than the previous times. I think this is mostly because Max didn't slow down his speech but kept talking quite fast, without deliberately trying to be particularly understandable. I guess this is the normal speed at which Ukrainians talk among each other. Still, I was happy to catch enough "key words" and connect them to make sense out of what he said, so that I could guess what he described.

As someone with knowledge of Upper Sorbian, I found this episode of Ukrainian quite hard to understand. Mainly due to the speed. But I guess this resamples the true speed of the language. In Upper Sorbian the words are: 1. lighter - zapalowak 2. puddle - łuža 3. bait - wabjenka 4. camp fire - lěhwowy woheń (the word used by the Polish and Czech participants also exists in Upper Sorbian as wohnišćo but it means a fire place in general) 5. wizard - kuzłar (a good one), chodot (an evil one), činkar (the modern ones, who only do tricks) 6. bad smell - smjerd

However, as soon as Maxim started to go into the vocabulary, it was quite difficult for me to make it out. However, I'm consoled by how even Ukrainian native speakers found it difficult to follow.

In Serbian: 1. Lighter - "Упаљач / Upaljač" 2. Puddle - "Локва / Lokva", "Бара / Bara", "Барица / Barica" but we also have "Каљуга / Kaljuga" and "Каљужа / Kaljuža" similar to Czech, Ukrainian and Polish but it means mud puddle and bilge 3. Bait - "Мамац / Mamac" 4. Bonfire / Campfire - "Ломача (Lomača) / Логорска ватра (logorska vatra)" - first one is associated more with witches and pyre and it also can mean stake while second one is used more used when people are camping; as for similar words with other languages in this video we have "Огањ / Oganj" - another word for fire next to "Ватра / Vatra"; "Огњиште / Ognjište" - fireplace, hearth(stone) and it is also used as a metaphor for home; "Камин / Kamin" - fireplace; "Огњило / Ognjilo, Оцило / Ocilo, Кресиво / Kresivo" - Fire striker (specific tool used in fire making) 5. "Чаробњак (Čarobnjak) / Чаробница (Čarobnica)" - Sorcerer / Sorceress , Wizard; "Врач (Vrač) / Врачара (Vračara)" - Witch doctor, Sorcerer / Sorceress ; "Вештац (Veštac) / Вештица (Veštica) - Warlock / Witch, Sorcerer / Sorceress; Mађионичар (Мађионичар) - Magician, ect. The term sorcerer in English is often used interchangeably with wizard, witch, warlock, diviner, occultis ect. so it's a bit complicated. 6. Bad smell, stinkс, stench - "Смрад / Smrad" but we have more terms like "Воњ / Vonj", "Непријатан мирис / Neprijatan miris", "Заударање / Zaudaranje", ect.

[@starton4]

Serbian: Врач - Witch doctor Russian: Врач - Doctor

[@HeroManNick132]

Well, Serbian and Croatian are the same language so yeah... In Bulgarian: 1. Lighter - запалка (zapalka) 2. Puddle - локва (lokva), бара (bara), гьол (gjol), калище (kalište) - place with a lot of mud. 3. Bait - стръв (străv) or примамка (primamka) 4. Bonfire / Camfire - лагерен огън (lageren ogăn), огнище (ognište), камина (kamina), огниво/огнило (ognivo/ognilo). It's weird how we drop the J, unless if you don't talk about ''огньове'' (ognjove) - fires. 5. Вълшебник (Vălšebnik) - magician (man), вълшебница (vălšebnica) - magician (woman), чародей (čarodej) - sorcer, чародейка (čarodejka) - sorceress, wizard: магьосник (magjosnik), магьосница (magjosnica), маг (mag), вещер (vešter), вещерка/вещица (vešterka/veštica), врач (vrač) - fortune teller, doctor, healer (male), врачка (vračka) - female. 6.

I guessed all the words, but at 5 I had also a guess "szaman" (shaman), "czarnoksiężnik" (wizard, a specific kind of wizard/sorcerer who practices scd. black magics ). And at first I thought the ukrainian word is enclosed to russian and looks/sounds like "зажігавка" (zazhihavka/zazhihauka) but it is closer to polish "запальнічка" - "zapalniczka" (zapal'nichka). Currently there exist some electric lighters that "produce" an electric arc to fire up items, but there are also scd. piezoelectric lighters that make a tiny sparkle to fire up an unleashed stream of gas (propane-butane).

[@F1r1at]

I'm ukrainian and I had same problems with the 5th word, I guessed it would be "чаклун", because of religious context, but we have a lot of words for such magicians, that have some very little differences. Like we also have "чорнокнижник" (sounds as "chornoknyzhnyk"), which is the same as "czarnoksiężnik"; we have "відьмак" (sounds as "vidmak"), which is same as witch, but male; we have "чарівник" (sounds as "charivnyk"), which is generally just a wizard. It's just hard to guess the specific word, when there are a lot of other words that have really close meaning.

The word "kartofle" also appears in Czech, but it isn't an official word, it's a dialect expression, just like "erteple" or "zemáky", which are also used in some regions of the Czech Republic. And I also think Adam used "r" instead of "ř" for better intelligibility. When I speak f.e. with Montenegrin or Ukrainian and we both speak in our native languages, I also often replace "ř" with "r" for better intelligibility, because apart from the Poles and Lusatian Sorbs, no other Slavs uses or even know "ř".

"Bonfire" only came to my head once I read Marta's word in Polish; before that I was thinking about an utensil made out of wood, although I understood it was for cooking and I was like "What the heck!?
