I’m so proud to be Slovenian! I live in Cleveland, Ohio, where there is a tight-knit Slovenian community and culture. All of my grandparents emigrated from there, and I grew up learning how to dance polka, attend “Slovenian school” and a Slovenian summer camp and cook Slovenian foods :) also visited there for my uncles traditional wedding and it was wonderful!

[@biba1baba2buba3]

What? Seriously? So many Slovenians in Ohio, I never would have guessed. Do you speak Slovenian?

[@Miss_Anthropy_]

Jen Mishelin No :( unfortunately Slovenian school didn’t really teach us fluent Slovenian. It was more about the culture and history. I know how to read Slovenian (then again, it’s really not that hard because it’s phonetic lol) and quite a few words but definitely not enough to understand a conversation in Slovenian. I’d definitely love to take a more serious class when I’m not swimming in college work haha

[@nejx8711]

[@frlipa]

First, we are not the "literal centre" by any measure. Second if you ask other countries we are EASTERN europe. Central europe is a made up concept by us and the Czech because we very desperately wanted to "escape" the fact that we are eastern europe. But we cant escape it. If you ask germans they wont tell you they are "central europe" but western europe and they will be correct. And the geographical center is in Germany. So stop being such bitches (hlapci) grow a pair and admit we are slavs, balkans and eastern europe.

[@compilationchannel9950]

not purely slavic, Slovenians are mixed, some celtic genes, some slavic, roman, teutons (germanic) and some jewish (phoenicians). That's why some slovenians have blond hair and blue eyes and some other have dark hair and dark eyes, some have red hair etc. and many are just a mix of those.

Slovenia is in Central Europe. Not East not south, but Central.

[@Bluntzngreschtl]

Right! And, Slovenians consider them self culturally as middle European To clarify my comment; of course Slovenians are slavic (language and a huge part of their culture), but they wouldn't see them selfs as east or south Europeans. A big part of Slovenian culture is more part of middle/central Europes culture, take a walk in Ljubljana and look at the architecture to see what I mean. Also the mindeset that Slovenia is part of middle Europe was emphasized after the independence of Slovenia to distance themselves from Belgrade. Orientationwise Slovenia wanted to be "more like western/central Europe" so to speak, neighbors like Italy or Austria became mor important in that period.

All this on such a small surface. In most European countries, don't live that much number of these beasts (animals), if they even have any of them at all. Slovenes live with nature! At least most.

It's a pretty complex topic for a foreigner to try to explain….so let's just make it clear, we are definetly Slavic , but in terms of our character and culture it's safe to say that we have some Germanic traits, there is also some Italian influence especially in the West and Southwest of the country. We are sort of considered 'Germans of the Balkans', if you ask our Slavic neighbours south of us, they will often say that we are reserved or maybe a bit more rational&orderly than other Slavs in the Balkans. There is some truth to this. Even our most famous architect Jože Plečnik had a vision of Ljubljana as small Athens, because he noticed that the city was starting to look too German/Austrian...so he wanted to bring back that Mediterranean feel.

[@Dolencd]

I am Slovenian too. The most amazing fact about my homeland for me is, while other countries' anthems talk about war and rise of power and stuff, Slovenian anthems is a few verses of a poem called Zdravljica which basically means A toast, as in cheers. And it speaks about how all nations should be equal and each others neighbor rather than foe. And the whole poem of Zdravljica speaks about wine beautiful girls, having fun and friendship. Another cool things is that Slovene language has not only plural and singular, but "dual" as well. Yep! We speak differently if something regards one person, 2 or 3. Who would have thought that this robust sounding family of slavic languages could be so romantic. :)

[@Niall69Irish]

Yeah and fun fact - the author of our national anthem 'Zdravljica' was an alcoholic in his later years and he died from cirroshis. He was the greatest slovenian poet tho.. we even celebrate Prešernov dan (Prešeren day) every year on 8 February, which is marking the anniversary of his death in 1849... he wrote Zdravljica in 1844 and it was published in the year before his death -1848 ....btw, dolenjska, moja deželaa

Being from Steiermark, Austria adjacent to Slovenia, I know that the people on both sides of this border look similar and eat the same foods, live in similar looking towns and villages, but speak different languages.
