Learn Slovenian - Basics | Slovene 101

Greetings from Czechia! Slovenian is a beautiful language and it's actually quite similar to Czech! We can understand a lot. And Slovenia is a tremendously gorgeous country ❤️

My gf is Slovene and I'm trying to learn a little so I can carry on a conversation with her in Slovene, and this helped. Hvala!

[@nixymax]

I'm Serbian and I can understand Slovenian. I just wanna say that Slovenian is the most beautiful south Slavic language. I've been studying slovenian for 4 months and I really like it

[@Vaniego.]

how did you learn it? I want to learn it too

[@nixymax]

@@Vaniego. I was studying at my university. My mother language is Serbian so it wasn't really hard for me to learn Slovene😁

[@Vaniego.]

@@nixymax Well yeah after all both of you come from the slavic branch, I want to learn Slovenian too, I know a very very little amount of russian and that probably will sort of help me, I am Armenian, by the way

[@nixymax]

@@Vaniego. Hmm, russian would help you for sure. For example, declension of nouns are similar, etc... Start with an alphabet, learn how to write and read, listen to music, videos. If you have a lot of free time, take some time and improve that and later you can start with grammar😁 Btw greetings for Armenia, we love you!

[@Vaniego.]

@@nixymax hvala! 🇷🇸🇦🇲 I am very aware about how similar russian is to other slavic languages i only know a few examples in slovene moj = Мои Это = Το kak si = kak dila I think If I want to learn any slavic languages I think Russian is a must do to make it easier for other slavic languages

[@szilardcsorge6371]

Thanks a lot, really! I'm Hungarian but I live in Italy right now, so I cross your beautiful country by car, every months or so. I wanted to pick up just the basics to at least be able to say "hello" and "thank you" at the gas station. So great, thanks again and good luck with your channel!

[@nyxartemis3447]

My native language is Spanish and I found interesting that we have a word we use in the same way as "na zdravje". We say "salud" for cheers and to say "bless you!". Great video, it's really helpful although there was so many information and so fast! If you could pronounce the words slowly it would be perfect. The different dialects part is something I've read in many sites and it's honesty scary... Thank you very much, Tjaša! By the way, I may start studying Slovene this year and the native spearker proffessor I'd have has the same name as you :D

[@tjasagrabnar315]

Thank you soo much 😄 I will try in the following videos to pronounce things more slowly. 😊 The dialects might sound scary. But also while I was in Spain, the people in the village that I stayed in, supposedly didn’t have the same accent as the ones living in Madrid. But I personally never noticed that. So maybe it’s the same with Slovene. 🤷🏼‍♀️ And Tjaša is actually a pretty common name here so you might encounter many more. 😂

[@luciestroupkova8671]

As for the interesting fact about "na zdravje" and "salud," I speak a little spanish and slovenian as well and I think that both this words are even based on the same meaning - something that means "health" or "with health".. Na zdravje would be translated exactly like "for health" and "salud" like "health", am I right? :)

[@tilenHD]

yes

[@Aabbcczzxxcc]

is it ok to start speaking english to people in shops etc, or should i ask 'do you speak english' every time? i guess they will know i'm foreign if i just say 'hello' each time i meet someone haha

[@tjasagrabnar315]

I think it is polite to somehow start the conversation, not just straight up ask a question. So either be it "Hello, can I ask you something?" / "Hi, do you speak English?" ... something of the sorts. It is not necessary but I think it is more polite. Also depends on the situation.

Vse najboljše does literally mean “All the best”, but in Slovenia we only use this expression. And it is usually not used in other situations, it is only used for wishing someone a happy birthday. 😄

Slow down

[@Yer_Da_]

It was fine for me Maurice - if you really need to slow it down just change the playback speed

[@adammetcalfe8748]

That's not how language learning works. When someone speaks at speed they slur words and sounds. When you're starting out teaching someone a language, you need to slow down and enunciate. Gradually, as the basics are established, you can pick up the speed and begin to speak more naturally. Slowing the playback will cause sloppy pronunciation

[@sloveniesta]

[@Kori2706]

Živjo! Thank you for this video! Hvala 😊. As others said, I would like to hear the pronounced slowlier (as you just did in the tongue twister video, it was great). I would be interested in learning phrases for an unformal conversation (for example saying I'm good, I'm tired, I'm hungry, that sort of things). Also, is there a difference if the speaker is male or female? Or when the speaker addresses to one, two or more people (I read about the dual mode). Čau !

[@tjasagrabnar315]

Thanks for all the suggestions. The problem with me doing the phrases for informal conversation is that I speak the Ljubljana dialect which means all of them would be in that dialect and it may vary from other parts of Slovenia. So I wasn’t sure how to go about that. And also for the second part of your questions I think I briefly explained dual and the differences if your talking to a male or female in my What makes Slovenian One Of The Most Difficult Languages To Learn video. So go check that out and I hope it helps, if you still have further questions just ask 😄😄 Thanks for the comment 😄

[@Kori2706]

Tjasa Grabnar Thank you for your answer. ☺️ If we learn phrases of the Ljubljana dialect, do you think we might not be understood elsewhere? I'll check your other video. Hvala!

[@tjasagrabnar315]

Kori2706 I think the problem is not that you will not be understood, it’s more of that you can get confused by their way of speaking. Because their dialect has a different accent and slang expressions. 🙂
