The bulgarian guy is speaking 100% proper pure standart bulgarian . Good jobb .

[@andreasmichael5022]

I would sey that he can use many words otherwise! For example автомобил and not кола, далекоглед, kолода карти, човеци, купа and not трофей

[@HeroManNick132]

Bulgarian may look the most different here but here are some synonyms that this guy didn't use: 0:00 "газета" exists in Bulgarian too, pronounced like Polish with G and not H as Ukrainian but it is an old-fashioned word and barely anyone uses nowadays so we use "вестник" most commonly which comes from "вести" - news. But isn't "газета" technically from Italian as loan word? Also we have "новини" as Slovak but it means "news." We don't really use it as "newspaper" but it could work too if you don't know Slovak or Bulgarian. 0:16 we have "мишеловка" too for "mouse trap" Also "pułapka" sounds like "подмамка" or "примамка" or even "клопка" which all can mean "trap" but "подмамка/примамка" are more used as "catch or lure" but still in some contexts can mean "trap" as well. 0:32 we have "люде" or "люди" too but they are considered like "too poetic" for everyday use so we use the Greek word instead - "хора" most commonly. 0:40 we have "наушници/наушник" which can be used as "слушалки" but mostly "наушници" is used when you wear like during at winter to make your ears warm or as antiphone when you are using angle grinder to isolate the noise from it, while "слушалки" is mostly used when you are listening to any kind of audio. Both can be used but for "headphones" is better "слушалки." Polish has "nausznik/nauszniki" propabably which is kinda like the Bulgarian/Ukrainian one, right? 0:55 as far as I'm aware "pismo" exist in Polish too, right? "лист" in Bulgarian means "sheet of paper." 1:05 I think Slovak had also "'bielizeň" for that if I'm not wrong. 1:11 I'm pretty sure ''дух'' exists in Ukrainian because it's an interslavic word and I don't know why the Ukrainian guy thought this is ''призрак...'' 1:32 our word for umbrella "чадър" isn't really from a Slavic origin but still it has an Indo-European connection like "газета" - it is from Persian fun fact. 1:39 we also have ''мобилни'' like Slovak/Ukrainian but it's used for plural only like ''мобилни телефони'' while for singular it's ''мобилен телефон.'' Unless if you say ''мобилния/мобилният телефон'' then it's more similar, even though ''мобилний'' sounds archaic to us. 1:47 we have "колода карти" as equivalent of "тесте карти" too but "тесте карти" is more used. 2:37 "кола" is most used here as well "автомобил" and "авто" for short. "самоход" exists too for any type of machine that has an engine but it is barely used as "car" nowadays or to be exact most commonly as ''moon walker,'' the stress in Bulgarian is on 1st O and not A like Polis. Not sure but I think Slovak had "kola" too. 2:52 I think "żmija" exists in Polish but I guess "wąż" is used more, right? 3:06 "миш" exists in Bulgarian but just again it is old-fashioned way to say it so we say "мишка." While ''миша'' is mouse related stuff like ''миша дупка'' - mouse hole. 3:06 I think Polish had "naczynie" which is closer to "чиния" but we have 2 words that are a bit regional that are similar to "talerz" and "тарiлка" - талерка & тарелка. But I think these words were taken from German if I'm not mistaken. 3:38 if we translate this as "cup" it will be "купа" but as "trophy" - "трофей" (like in Ukrainian) so in Polish will be "trofeum," right? And Slovak I think "cup"' is almost like Polish - "pohár." And that's about it. Hopefully I added something useful to this Slavic comparison ;)

Pismo exists in Polish but means a piece of writing in general not a specific type of writing like a letter.

[@HeroManNick132]

@@modmaker7617 Oh, you use it like Serbo-Croatian? I see! We mostly use it as letter but I think in more old-fashioned way can be used as writing.

газета не е славянска дума, италианска е, грешна е и не трябва да я използваме

[@HeroManNick132]

@@monke3842 Същото е да кажеш за ''магазин.'' Защо македонците използват остарялата ни дума ''продавница,'' а ние пък ''магазин?'' Както можеш да кажеш, че сме присвоили чуждица и вместо ''предплатник,'' както преди дедите са му казвали и днешните македонци, но написана с Т - ''претплатник,'' сега сме я заменили с ''абонат'' (френска дума). Или пък ''мило'' сме я заменили със ''сапун,'' която пак идва от италиански. ''Хора'' и тя не е славянска дума и идва от гръцки, макар че за нас ''люде/люди'' е твърде поетично, спрямо ''хора.''

[@freikorpsdamonisch8127]

In Ukrainian definitely exist "дух" but also "привид". Don't know why he use "призрак". "Призрак" is russian word (maybe loaned but you know what I mean).

Dust sucker ♡ exactly like we say it in German. 😊

[@Pidalin]

to complicated, in Czech, it's just sucker 😀

[@dpw6546]

Very enjoyable and informative speed format. I like it. "Прахосмукачка" and "пилосос" are funny words indeed, both literally meaning dust sucker. Polish "odkurzacz" is the noun that simply relates to dusting off, removing dust so not as amusing. Looks like the Slovak girl understood the pictogram depicted a trophy and not some regular cup (you could read it both ways) and subsequently went with that word. Possibly so did the Bulgarian guy (not sure as I don't know that language at all). I like the Slovak words for umbrella and binoculars. They are intuitive whereas their Polish counterparts are foreign borrowings with "parasol(ka)" not even making sense in regard to its original meaning and what it is almost exclusively used for in everyday life here (i.e. to protect oneself from rain not sun). It is surprising to find out there are no native words or literal translations (as is the case in Polish) for cell or mobile phone in Slovak, Bulgarian and Ukrainian, or at least they are not the first choice ones (?). Contrary to the long-running stupid practice of cluttering Polish with loanwords there's never been a question of "telefon mobilny", "mobajl" (mobile) or "hendi" (as in "Handy" in German) and not once have I ever heard anybody use any of these, thank heavens.

[@jansoltes971]

1:05 "spodné prádlo" is substandard or dialectal in the west of Slovakia or bohemism. Standard Slovak has "bielizeň" which is actually the same as in all other participants´ languages. Seems like an old Slavic word.

Spodné prádlo in Slovak is not standard, therefore not correct. The word "prádlo" is a Czech word, we use "bielizeň".
