🇷🇸 Serbia vs. Bulgaria 🇧🇬

[@sulajkovski]

As a native Serbian speaker, I think I can understand around 50%-75% of written Bulgarian, and around 10%-25% of spoken Bulgarian, so the language is not completely different, but spoken variant is much more difficult to understand than the written.

@@georgistanchev8312 It's the older Indo-European form, I know. But then word order can create nuance, rather than be ungrammatical. By your standard, of the major languages only Chinese is really optimal. Shakespeare still has too many markers left over from the archaic inflections, and modern German is still a mess. ;) Considering it creates a barrier for most Americans, I'd say it's optimal.

Pros for Bulgaria: -more diverse landscape(mountains, seaside, plains, forests) -more diverse climate - Mediterranean South of Primorsko on the Bulgarian Seaside to Continental near the borders with Serbia and Romania -more diverse and Mediterranean/Oriental cousine - seafood, feta and youghurt -richer historical heritage, many ancient sites like the Roman ruins in Plovdiv and the Thracian tombs -more things to do overall - thermal baths, seaside (Sofia is equally close to the Aegean and Black Sea), ski resorts etc Pros for Serbia: -Beograd was a major city(still is to an extend), so looks better overall than Sofia -Better nightlife in Serbia -More hospitable and curious People (as long as you are not Bulgarian/Croat/Bosniak) So I'd say as a country Bulgaria is a lot more diverse, with more things to do. If you compare Beograd to Sofia, I think Beograd has an edge.

[@pliska6819]

As a Bulgarian I can say that Belgrade is definitely more of a vibrant and nightlifeish capital. The Danube gives it a bigger advantage. Sofia is much more relaxed yet greener with many parks and mountains. Architecture in Beograd is more Central European and in Sofia is quite mixed because of historical and obvious reasons especially in WW2. Bulgarian cities are very different. Sofia is not the loveliest but it has it charms. Plovdiv is really amazing and so is the former capital during the Second Bulgarian Empire - Veliko Tarnovo. Burgas and Varna are rivals but Burgas is definitely prettier with better infrastructure, public transport, etc etc feels more like a smaller town. Varna is more urban. Finally, few people know about Ruse which is 70km away from Bucharest with its nice Central European architecture and Danube park. Yes, the sea and especially southern mountains of Rila, Rhodope and Pirin are really nice. The northern beaches are rocky yet quite picteresque while the southern ones have finer sand and warmer waters. I still think both countries are quite the same yet quite different at the same time. Serbians have amazing cuisine and speak more English because they had more liberty during Communism. However, Bulgarians look and sound robust but once you break the iceberg, things take a very different stance. Nevertheless, I think the video was very interesting. You are very sweet.

I have lived in as well Serbia as Bulgaria, and my opinion is that people in Serbia are more open minded and hospitable, than people in Bulgaria. In the countryside of Bulgaria, it is more the same as in Serbia. About language. I think that it is easier to learn / understand Serbian if you know other Slavic languages. It seems like Bulgarian has more words that you do not find in other Slavic languages. (Many words are imported from French). I speak Czech and at least for me it is much easier to understand Serbian than Bulgarian.

[@HeroManNick132]

It's easier because your language have cases not mindblowing. Bulgarian having only 1 case and some leftovers make it more confusing with definite articles. And don't get me started with the verb tenses and conjugation in Bulgarian which is even harder than the rest Slavic languages. Plus Serbian uses officially both Cyrillic and Latin alphabet while Bulgarian only Cyrillic.

[@jordan9339]

Also many words imported from German, especially technical terms. Bulgaria was more hospitable couple of decades ago. As people get better financially they became colder, which is sad. You will find the most hospitable people where the life is harder in Bulgaria.

Be advised that the language used in North Macedonia, which officially is called "Macedonian" there, is in fact an Esperanto version of Bulgarian. So, if you speak or understand Bulgarian, you speak and understand "Macedonian" automatically (People in North Macedonia call their language "Macedonian" and not Bulgarian for nation-building purposes, but it is not a separate Slavic Language, it is in fact the Bulgarian language.) So, with Bulgarian language, you cover Bulgaria, North Macedonia and some regions in Eastern Albania and some parts of Kosovo (where the historic Bulgarian minorities live).

[@HeroManNick132]

@@gringoroko Съвременният македонски език е смесица между български и сръбски. Вече от 100 години не е български и може да се каже, че е самостоятелен език, защото българският и македонският по това време имаха големи реформи. Ако погледнеш стандартните форми на сръбския, хърватския, босненския и черногорския - те се различават по-малко от българския и македонския, макар и да имаме по-трудноразбираеми диалекти в територията на България, като с помашкия или трънския диалект. Да не забравим, че сегашният български, който е прекодифициран през 1945 е бил базиран главно на диалектите от Велико Търново, Елена, Трявна, а македонският е базиран на диалектите от Прилеп, Битоля, Велес. Понякога македонският е по-близък със сръбския. Именно заради сърбизмите в него невинаги го разбирам на 100%, но в това няма спор, че е най-близкият език до българския, защото граматически е 1:1, макар че те имат определителни членове за близки и далечни предмети, които отсъстват от стандартния български, както при тях краткия член. Македонците също така разбират по-добре сърбохърватските езици, спрямо българския по-добре от нас. Но ти би казал, че и сръбският е български по тая логика, макар че те имат 7 падежа и инфинитивна форма, които вече нямаме, макар и в двата езика да имаме 2 падежа все още. Да, македонският е бил някога български, но все пак колкото и да е трудно да се приеме от наша страна, вече македонският е поел по своя път и се е стандартизирал по изкуствен, естествен начин... Няма значение как! Има много езици формирали са се така! Погледни хинди и урду - ще видиш същата прилика, както измежду тези езици, за които си говорим.

@@HeroManNick132 Съвремениият "Македонски" не е смесица между Български и Сръбски. Той е Есперанто-тип език на основата на Българския език, т.е. "Македоснкият" е по същество Български, върху който умишлено са наслагвани сърбизми, за да бъде доближен до Сръбския, и от който отново целево са премахвани определени гласни звуци и думи, за да се отдалечи максимално от Българския. Днешният Български е по-близък до "Македонския" от 50-те години на миналия век, отколкото днешният така наречен "Македонски". Както няма Белгийски език, както няма Австралийски език, не може да се твърди, че има Македонски. Това е една лъжа, както и че "Македонкият" бил едва ли не еднакво смесица между Сръбски и Български. Това също изобщо не е вярно. Интересно на базата на какво точно заключи, че бих твърдял, че Сръбския е Български. Казах още в началото, че двата езика принадлежат на различни клонове на южнославянските езици.

Например при нас думата е ''земна пчела,'' докато при сърбите и македонците е ''бумбар.'' Не всяка дума е близка, но така или иначе българският се е стандартизирал да премахне ят и големия юс, това го сближава повече със съврменния македонски, макар че маха способността на ЯТ, където е могло да се прознася или Е, или Я.

Bulgarian differs from other Slavic languages in two cardinal ways: 1) It has no cases. Serbian, for example, has seven cases. This is a unique phanomenon among Slavic people. 2) Whereas no Slavic language has articles, Bulgarian does have for masculin, feminin and neutral nouns. This article comes at the end of the word, as a suffix. Serbian has no articles of course. Needless to say, these two characteristics are shared with the Slavomacedonian language: like Bulgarian, Slavomacedonian also has the same three articles as Bulgarian, and has no cases in nouns.

[@HeroManNick132]

Technically Bulgarian does still have cases and the only truly survived case is the vocative while languages like Russian don't have vocative and have partually restored version called neo-vocative. Bulgarian has many case forms which became adverbs. Also you should have mentioned that Bulgarian has no infinitive forms, except the word ''ебати'' but most of them became adjective forms.

The problem of understanding Serbo-Croatian is for example if you are from Eastern part of the country where is the softer speecher, they will understand you harder. It's kinda the same deal how Eastern Macedonians and Serbs can understand better Bulgarian than the Western ones. Obviously Macedonian is the closest one because the grammar is nearly identical while Serbo-Croatian and the rest of Slavic languages it's quite different. Serbo-Croatian has 7 cases and 0 definite articles while Bulgarian and Macedonian have 1 case only - vocative and some leftover cases mainly from instrumental, dative and accusative. The articles in both Standard forms are slightly different but if you count the Pomak dialect it will be the same as Standard Macedonian. Bulgarian has: Masculine: ЪТ/ЯТ (full form, possessive), A/Я (short form, not possesive), ТА, ТО Feminine: ТА Neuter: ТО Plural: ТЕ, ТА, ТЯХ (archaic form that is unused nowadays which was used for the numbers like instead of "десетте" you could say "десеттях") Macedonian has for close objects, main (doesn't matter the distance like Standard Bulgarian), far objects like Pomak: Main: ОТ, ТА, ТО, ТЕ Close: ОВ, ВА, ВО, ВЕ Far: ОН, НА, НО, НЕ Both languages have 9 verb tenses, 4 moods and 3 voices which make them slightly more complicated than the rest. So yeah Serbian is a bit more closer to Macedonian because of the Serbification during Yugoslavia than to Bulgarian. Bulgarian has more Russian influence and vise-versa as you know.

Greatings from Serbia. Actually, Serbian and Bulgarian languages are very simmilar, not the same as Serbian and Croatian but simmmilar. For example, we can talk with Macedonians and Macedonian is verry simmilar to Bulgarian. Sounds like simmilar. We can not talk fluently with Bulgarians but we can understand what they want or something like that. With Macedonians we can talk. Montenegro, Bosnia and Croatia, it is basicaly Serbian language. But u must know, people in southern Croatia and northern Croatia speaks tottaly different, the same language but diferent. People in southern Serbia speaks diferent then people in central and northern Serbia. Every region in western Balcan has it own dialect, and for example, dialectS in eastern croatia and north-western Serbia are mutch more simmilar then dialects of north-western Serbia and southern Serbia. Ok, in Croatia they use letter J in lot of words, in Serbia we do not use it. But except of that,... u know, i sayed alredy.

hi @hypatiatv421 you're one of my favorite commenters. i always love reading your comments! I agree that Serbian and Bulgarian are similar, but whenever I asked people in Bulgaria, "da li pricas srpski?" or "moze na srpskom?" .. they didn't know the language. but when I ask people in Macedonia, EVERYONE seems to say, "da, moze na srpskom." do you think that is because Macedonia was part of the Yugoslavia and Bulgaria wasn't? That is just my personal experience that I could speak with Serbian with Macedonians but not Bulgarias. But maybe Macedonians understood my accent better than Bulgarians ??? More Macedonians knew English as well, from my experience

I understand this videos is a 100% sweet talks about Serbia, but guys, serbian language ( and Macedonian) sounds like bulgarian dialect language for us. It’s so funny because some words are used by very old people in the villages. Bulgarian is more modern and authentic. Russians and Serbians use our Bulgarian Cyrillic alphabet. We deserve a respect, not a comparison. We have so many traditions and great history. I’ve been so many times in Serbia and there’s nothing unique I can say. They don’t understand our language at all. Most of the people don’t know English. Honestly I don’t know where you met these people who spoke English but I am 100% sure they don’t. In every country old people understand only their native language.

[@ДеянДимитров-ц7ц]

Many people who visit often Bulgaria share completely different experience. Very friendly and welcoming people, amazing nature, delicious food. Maybe your experience was influenced by your personal negativity or something like that. When people doesn't feel good with yourself he wears this everywhere where he goes. I'm pretty sure that your experience is isolated case and every stats in the world shows that Bulgaria is a miles away more touristic country than Serbia.

Hi there. I’ll give you tips , when you speak about language in the Balkans - Existing only Two Slavic Languages . 1 Bulgarian and 2 Serbian or Serbo Croation language { named in Jugoslavia) .After 1991 when the the Jugoslavia collapsed was born 5 brand new Languages. Same like a English , if you Learn English you automatically learn American, Canadian, Australian, New Zealand .😂😂😂😂. That’s way ,you can talk Serbian In Montenegro, Bosnia or Croatia and people understand you. Other examples it’s a Bulgarian language same like Scottish Language- you understand all English languages but no one can understand you 😂😂😂😂. Almost forgot the most important Language in the Balkans-Macedonian language the Mother of All Europe and Asia Languages. This Ancient language survived and improved from many,many years- Back in the time.Macedonian Scientists have no answer and proof how old is the Macedonian language -The rest of the World - Yes. [ask Google? Wikipedia ] After 3-4 days of testing which Rakia is the best - Serbian or Bulgarian -The Communist Party off Jugoslavia and Bulgaria created in 1947 the Oldest Languages in World- Ancient Macedonian Languages 😂 . Before that in this region people used-Bulgarian or Serbian or Greek depending of their ethnicity 😂😂😂😂.
