It's the same as in the Russian language there are many South Slavic words from the Church Slavonic language, which are now considered obsolete. According to the hypothesis, in antiquity, part of the Slavs left the territory of Poland and East Germany to the east in search of new lands, so Eastern Slavic tribes were formed.

And only about 30% - it's because of the Russian language itself (I hear the same word roots in some Polish words, sometimes the grammar construction is the same.

во, нормальный русский всегда поймет большинство по-польски и также и поляк поймет большинство по-русски.

[@user-zu3wq3lf3h]

Согласен. Все дело в словарном запасе. Слова все очень связаны, просто в разных языках приживаются разные и употребляются чаще. Почти любое слово на польском можно найти как редкий синоним в русском (ну или уже как архаизм), думаю так же и в обратную сторону работает - поляк, который много читал (в том числе и старые книги), наверняка сможет найти в русском ставшие редкими польские слова.

[@MrKgzguy]

@@user-zu3wq3lf3h да даже мне, киргизу, было понятно 90% того, о чем говорил поляк. Я не разбирался сильно в этой теме, но поляка понять проще, чем чеха. Ну, а украинцам и беларусам должно быть понятно практически все

[@garys.7846]

This is the second of your videos I have watched, the first was with the Bulgarian girl, Nadia. I think it was evident that your prior knowledge of some Russian helped you somewhat to understand Ivan. I think I was able to understand Nadia a bit more. I have good Polish skills, but found it difficult to understand Ivan as well as you did. Looking forward to watching your other Slavic language comparison videos, they're great and I know it takes a lot of coordination to set them up ! Pozdrawiam

[@edenromanov]

I’ve always wondered how well the Slavic languages could communicate with each other love these videos m8 keep it up!

[@warnerbf]

[@benvad9010]

It's so confusing to me is how the Slavs and Scandinavians can say that they speak different languages? They all seem mutually intelligible, whereas German and English are diametrically apart and the communication can't get past salutations. Mind blowing to say the least.

[@rainbowstalin594]

No that's isn't true in any way m8, Slavic language aren't mutually intelligible and this video is quite misleading since both guys in the video seem to know a thing or two about each other's languages respectively so that's why they they kind of understand each other in the video. take a random Pole from Warsaw and put him in Moscow and you'll see that he won't be able to communicate at all. Also the reason the Slavic languages are much more intelligible with each other then German and English is because of the fact that the Slavic languages split relatively late from each other. before the 10th century all slavs pretty much spoke the same language with slight dialectal variations from place to place.

[@michaelcoceski5442]

As a Macedonian, I have not formally studied any other slavic language but I understand almost 75 % of the Russian speaker but sadly only 5% of the Polish. btw....Ecolinguist I do enjoy your videos and concept.

Hello slavic brother! I am native russian and i can say i understood 80% of your speach. I read some coments here and one guy mentioned that this russian guy already knew some polish words. I will tell you: Usually many russian people know some words from Ukranian and Belarusian (because we were all part of USSR), so the main different words, like "nema", "čekati", " troho", "šukati" are intelligibile for many russians. Of course there are some people who havent any talent for languages or who come from small villages of Sibirea or East Russia, for them is it a bit harder to understand. But if poles speak slow, realy, i get at least more than every second word

[@archivator-russlovjanskipo988]

Абсолютно верно. Хотел написать примерно тоже самое.

nema можно перепутать с немым человеком)) čekati напоминает английское check, troho напоминает трогать, напоминает шугать-пугать. Мысли в слух)

[@anatolikalyuk]

You'd be surprised that there are actually people in Siberian villages speaking dialectal forms of Russian, which seem to have been heavily influenced by Ukrainian and Belarusian languages. Growing up, I've always wondered why my dad's been using all these weird words when talking at home. Initially assuming his words were all made up by himself, I later on began to recognize that all of them simply derived from his parents' dialectal influence, as their parts of their ancestors came from both of these other countries.
