Me a Polish person went on vacation (Rome) last summer where I met Czech family. We actually became friends and we never talked English. We understood each other talking in our own languages. Ofc we asked for word meaning from time to time, but we understood each other. It was such a cool experience!!

I’m ukrainian, and we do not say ‚ushy’ or ‚vushy’ on ears. The correct way of name is „vucha” for plural and „vucho” for one ear.

[@ClifffSVK]

In Slovak we have 2 forms of plural for eyes and ears. As body parts it's oko/oči, ucho/uši. For other meanings it's oko/oká (for example holes in a shirt), ucho/uchá (for example pot handles). Very long time ago Slavic languages used to have singular, dual and plural. Most of the languages lost the dual. The oči/uši used to be the dual form and the oká/uchá used to be the plural form.

[@Tomaszt-se6uf]

I was as a child in 96 in Златни пясъци (Zlaté Písky) and Varna. Couldnt understand anything, my father couldnt understand and noone could understand him . He could understand a little russian and read azbuka .. barely helped him at all. I remember him buying a Donald Duck comics for me .. he couldnt even guess the meaning of what the characters were saying in the text bubbles. It was still enjoyable but all he could really speak apart from czech is some German and that was no help in Bulgary :D We managed with gestures. Im sure today it would be different .. now I can speak english and probably so can a lot of younger Bulgarians. In 96 it was still common to see a lot of bears trained for street performance. I hope they abolished that custom. (I think they must completely break the animals to make them harmless enough to be on the street on a leash with a steel muzzle )

Well, actually, Ukrainian for "ears" is "вуха" [voo-ha]. "Vushi" is Rusianism (using Russian words with Ukrainian declension) that is often times used in Surzhik (a Ukrainian dialect that is a mix of Russian and Ukrainian).

[@HeroManNick132]

Lol how this is a Russianism when it exists in many Slavic languages? 💀 ''vucha'' sounds like a Polonism.

[@vladvoznyuk]

@@HeroManNick132 , "Russianism" is the term invented by Ukrainians to describe words that appear in Ukrainian speakers' speech that are derived from Russian. I am a Ukrainian myself... and I speak both Ukrainian and Russian fluently. Therefore, it is easy for me to detect a distinction. The matter is not whether or not it is spoken in other Slavic languages. Using "vushi" while speaking Ukrainian is simply improper. If you're not convinced, please feel free to use a translator. Google Translate, for instance, gives a clear translation. Also, notice that I did not use the term "Russism". The definition for that term is "Russian fascism". It has nothing to do with languages. The fact that the Ukrainian language is much closer to Polish than it is to Russian is a well-known fact. And even Belarusian is much more coherent with Ukrainian than it is with Russian. So there is no wonder why it might sound more like Polish. However, the word "вуха" is the proper way to say it in Ukrainian. It is my no means Polonism.

[@HeroManNick132]

@@vladvoznyuk Okay, I don't get this why in every Slavic language it ends with szy, ši, šy except in Ukrainian is cha? I mean Slovenian is also unique because it ends at šesa. But still why?

[@vladvoznyuk]

@@HeroManNick132, this is simply how Ukrainian declension works. It actually makes more sense to me. The singular "вухо" makes more sense to have "вуха" for plural. I would pose the question why in the world in Russian the "h" sound in singular "ухо" is replaced with the "sh" sound for plural "уши". It seems more natural for me in Ukrainian. There are plenty of instances in which Russian words replace consonants depending on the number, gender, or case, while in Ukrainian they remain unchanged. So this is certainly not atypical for Ukrainian.

[@HeroManNick132]

@@vladvoznyuk As I said this is not just in Russian take for example all South Slavic languages (except for Slovenian), Western Slavic ones and even Belarusian where is ''вушы'' despite they have ''вухi'' also. So this is not correct to say that ''вушi'' is Russianism. Yes, it could be but again you need to look at other Slavic languages. Slavic languages don't come from Russian.

I have observed a funny thing at work between Czechs and Poles.

One day you'd realize u have just been spoken to in polish, replied in czech and all is business as usual. Oh and one more funny thing...they have started to borrow words from each other to help them communicate...as if by instinct, which is hillarious to see/hear.

[@nataliavalkova1254]

I am a Polish and Czech speaker also a language tutor and I can say that the very basics in Czech and Polish are very similar. It's easy to buy some bread or milk, to ask where the zoo is or to have a small talk about the weather when we visit the other country without knowing the language. But then there is a language barrier, it tooks months to one year to understand the other language on A2-B1 level. The biggest problem for my students is to start making sentences in the other language, especially for Czechs to speak Polish. The sounds are completely different so it's weird to say a sentence similar to our native language but softer. Also the vocabulary is so tricky, the words are similar but with different meaning. I found more than 200 Czech-Polish false friends and my list is not completed yet. The basic grammar is similar (7 cases, feminine, masculine and neuter words, perfective and imperfective aspects) but the endings of words, word's order and using cases are different. Some very basic examples of different grammar (there are many more examples): The sentence: Call him Polish - Zadzwoń do niego (genitive case) Czech - Zavolej mu (dative case) The sentence: She is not here Polish - nie ma jej tu (genitive case, also the verb "to have" appears in negative sentences, literally "it doesn't have her here") Czech - není tady (nominative case) Also some examples of false friends: Polish - obcas (a heel), Czech - občas (sometimes) Polish - burak (a beetroot), Czech - burák (a peanut) Polish - dziwak (a weirdo) Czech - divák (a viewer) Polish - stan (a state) Czech - stan (a tent) Polish - poprawić (to correct) Czech - popravit (to execute sb) And of course there are many, maaaany more.

Czeski jest bardzo prosty do zrozumienia dla Polaka, nawet jak któregoś słowa się nie zrozumie, pomijając wykorzystywanie kontekstu, to możemy część słów "wyczuć", jeśli jesteśmy oczytani w starej literaturze polskiej czy nawet takiej stylizowanej archaizmami np. trylogii Sienkiewicza. Po prostu czeski zachował wiele archaicznych form, gdzie w polskim albo zostały zastąpione czymś innym lub zmieniły nieco znaczenie. Dla mnie czeski w odbiorze może wydawać się nieco śmieszny, bo z jednej strony ma nieco wzniosłe, jak również staroświeckie słownictwo (typu używane przez nasze sędziwe babcie itp.), lecz z drugiej takie zdrobnienia i końcówki wymawiane w sposób jak czasem robi to małe dziecko. Powstaje taki dysonans jakby- 4 latek starał się używać zbyt elokwentnych słów i to może wydawać się może nieco komiczne; choć nie piszę tego ze złośliwością czy wywyższaniem się, po prostu taki może być w odbiorze.

Well, I'm Slovak so I understand everything from Czech. Polish is very similar but pronounciatation, how they say same word and writing of the word is actually something different and difficult to understand. On the other hand if it is Belarus and we have similar word it also sounds like it, so you also catch these words easily. On the other hand Ukrainian and Russian is easy to hear, but a lot of words are different, changed and have different meaning. Only reason we actually do understand (more than Czech) is that we are post-communistic country and many words are well known and established in the culture. That's something we don't share with Belarus neither with Polish. But people from the east of Slovakia would better understand Russian, Ukrainian or Belarusian. People from North would better understand Polish. But I have to mention that girls are so pretty and that's what we do share for 100%!

Reason why our language sounds old for others is by National reformation movement from 19th century which was trying to translate everything to czech language and since czech language at that time was almost erased and prevailed mainly in rural areas they used old sources of all slavic nations (Russia especially) to reconstruct it from scratch. They actually developed some famous words which are source of entertainment for us even today (no they did not prevail). For example: napkin = čistonosoplena - literal translation (TidyNoseNapkin) - now kapesník piano = Klapkobřinkostroj- literal translation (DamperClankMachine) - now klavír (do you see German influence?)

[@HeroManNick132]

Like how we have native word ''драсни-пални клечица'' (drasni-palni klečica) which translates to literally ''scratch-light up a little stick'' but nowadays we use ''кибрит'' (kibrit) which is from Arabic. In Bulgarian we have the word ''клавир'' (klavir) too from German but it's archaic we use the Italian ''пиано'' (piano) instead or the French ''роял'' (rojal) which means big piano. We have for napkin the word ''носна кърпа'' (nosna kărpa) which literally means nose towel but we also use the Italian word ''салфетка'' (salfetka).

That Czech lady is wrong about the word "pero" and "péro". Even Czech Wikipedia says that pero is feather. Though, to be fair, most Czechs these days would've said "pírko" or "peří", when referring to feather. And yes, it also means pen, but usually only ink pen. For ballpens, Czech language has specific word "propiska". On top of that, pero is also other word to spring, or coil, though "pružina" is the right term. The word "péro" with É, usually, nowadays, has only one meaning and that's pretty much an equivalent of D**k when referring to male private parts. So, as a Czech myself, I am really surprised by what this lady said about this word.

You're also wrong. A spring or a coil is not "pero" but actually "péro"
