Czechs and Slovaks understand each other not only because the languages are similar but also because the populations are quite mixed and we basically share popculture like movies or music. For example Slovak rap is really popular in Czechia, therefore we are used to the other language and know the differencies (usually).

Actually "drzewo" which main meaning is "tree" has another meaning "wood" as well so the Czech girl wasn't wrong. The second meaning of "drzewo" is more often used when it comes to "firewood" so "drewno na opał" or "drzewo" are both correct. I think it's used more often than "drewno" when it's not used for recreational purposes. It may be a regionalism, but when you check the polish dictionary. It's there under the 2nd meaning. (I cannot post link but look for drzewo in sjp pwn dictionary) 1. «A perennial plant with a clearly developed trunk from which branches and boughs grow» 2. «Material obtained from felled trees, used as building blocks or fuel» 1. «roślina wieloletnia o wyraźnie wykształconym pniu, z którego wyrastają konary i gałęzie» 2. «materiał otrzymywany ze ściętego drzewa, używany jako budulec lub opał»

Kudos to the Czech girl for understanding the Polish word for mammal. Irregardless of the context that was given to them and the fact the word is short, it isn't an obvious expression for foreigners, plus it begins with double "s" which is not there for the fun of it but is actually pronounced as such. On a side note, our representative Monika has got a very Polish type of looks: it is one of the types seen in Poland that is generally hard to find elsewhere. I've never seen a girl from Belarus, Ukraine or Russia who would look like this. And I've seen thousands of them. There are some Czech and Slovak girls who sport similar looks but they've got a little different yet distinctive features. The Belarusian girl is cute as a button. On first glance I thought she was Polish - the face, the complexion and the hair (its colour, facture and length - thankfully such long hair have been popular in Poland for several years now) all seemed to match but then on a close-up you could see in her eyes and mouth that she comes from somewhere to the east. The girl from Ukraine has one of the typical looks you see in girls from Ukraine, Russia, Belarus and native Russian speakers of other former Soviet republics. Should I have 10% of my original eyesight I'll still be able to pin this looks down.

I'm form Poland and a few years ago I was in Slovakia and it was the same for me with Slovak language like in 7:10. Sometimes I was able to understand almost whole sentences (one or two missing words were easy to guess from the context), but sometimes I didn't understand almost anything. But reading was easier than listening - it's weird. But I think all Slavic languages are quite similar. Some scientists created the interslavic language by choosing the most commonly used words in all Slavic languages. I've tried to watch some videos in this language on YT and I'm able to understand around 80-90% of that language. Based on comments from different slavic countries their level of understanding was the same. It's like magic :)

[@Pidalin]

Interslavic still needs some experiences, for example it uses DA for yes, so if you don't know that DA means yes (which you probably know, but there can be people who don't know that), you will not understand it. You still need at least minimal experience with other slavic languages to understand it and also better knowledge of your own language, knowing some archaism or more bookish words. You can kind of understand it, but it's still easier to read English for me even when my knowledge of English is very limited, but I don't have to guess what some word means like in interslavic.

Those videos are fun and interesting , but with no hate to anyone I wish people had bettee understanding of how languages work , at least for their own. Like the history of the language is thst it started as a regional way of communication and then at some point brcause of the geography languages were grouped so for Slavic language there are three distinctions but you should remember that Belarus and most of Ukraine were once part of Polish - Lithuanian Commonwealth so some words were asimiliated. On yhe other hand Polish took a lot from Czech , but also French and German so those would be some differences you can here with the wors and spelling. For example Polish kanapka is from French csnapes by in English those are called "finger food" because of the small size ans fancy design and for Poles its a normal (mostly) open faced sandwich with cheese/ham and fresh veg.

Fun fact is that if you ask any Ukrainian if they understand Belarusian or Russian 90% will say yes, but our neighbours don't understand our language, only separate words maximum. Back in the day during USSR, soviet people understood Ukrainian and Belarusian at same level as their own language, but nowadays only old people from Russian will understand, young people don't know sh*t cuz of imperealism regime that is present in Russia today.

[@worldclassyoutuber2085]

The first Slavs did not eat bread - their daily bread was flatbread (podpłomyki), i.e. thin pancakes made of any flour and water, baked on hot stones. Podpłomyki were eaten alone or with various toppings. The inventor of the sandwich(kanapki) is considered to be the 18th century Earl of Sandwich, John Montagu, who became hungry while playing cards and sitting on *canapé* , as he did not want to interrupt it, asked the cook to serve the beef between two slices of bread. Thanks to this, eating the snack was not troublesome, it did not require cutlery, and the count's hands remained clean. btw "kanapa" in polish is also sofa or couch
