Polish Ukrainian Mutually Intelligible? | Animals | Slavic Languages Comparison

Are Polish and Ukrainian mutually intelligible? 🇵🇱💬🇺🇦 In this week's Slavic languages comparison, we talk about animals in Polish and Ukrainian. My guest from Ukraine will have to guess 6 animals that I’ll describe to her in Polish. She doesn’t speak any Polish so it’s going to be an interesting challenge.
At the end of our Polish Ukrainian conversation, a mythical creature paid us a visit. Watch till the end to find out more about it.
What do you think? Is Polish similar to the Ukrainian language? 🤔

Complex vocabulary tends to be more similar between sister languages than basic vocabulary like animals! It kind of makes sense, complex vocabulary tends to be standarized by books and stuff, and usually come from a high prestige language like Church Slavonic in case of the slaiv languages, but also Greek and Latin. While words like the names of animals is usually really different because they are rarely prevented from evolving trough time. The might still have the same origin, but hardly be inteligible

Щиро дякую за дуже цікаве видео, і хоч я чистий японець, зрозумів майже все, бо давно учуся обох мов. Tutaj chciałbym dodać swoją uwagę w związku z tymi dwiema językami, ale po angielsku, żeby to zrozumieli i Polacy i Ukraińcy. Back in '80, when the Communists still ruled in the East, I became interested in the Ukrainian language, having learnt quite a lot of both Polish and Russian. But for us Japanese it was extremely hard to learn Ukrainian at that time, with almost no proper textbooks nor comprehensive dictionaries available, so I decided to go to Canada on working holiday program. I knew then that there are a lot of Ukrainian communities across North America, especially in Canada (Winnipeg, Edmonton etc). Soon after arrival I found many textbooks and dictionaries in English, which helped me self-teach Ukrainian. One day I came across some weird words, for example, 'потяг'. According to modern dictionaries it means 'leaning or inclination', but it didn't match the context. When I saw a sentence like 'потяг стояв на двірці' I almost yelled an eureka, because of course it sounded like Polish 'pociąg stał na dworcu'. In Soviet times no dictionaries published there didn't list 'потяг' in the meaning of train, and 'двірець' for railway station, instead поїзд and вокзал respectively (like Russian). Later I learnt to know that that represents the western variety of the language developed under heavy influence of Polish (with Львів/Lwów as its center), and that many Ukrainians who immigrated into Canada originated from that region. So I might still use those expressions like 'як ся маєте? ', if I had a chance to speak Ukrainian somehow here in Japan. 'Перепрашаю' за довге оповідання, я бажаю вам усім удачи і щасті.

It depends on the region. For example, in the Ternopil region, which was once under Poland, there are still many words from Polish. So, its easy to comunicate. Once a Polish deputy (Robert Nowak z Czestochowa) came to us(Obuhiv, 35 km near Kyiv). I interviewed him as a journalist. He spoke Polish, I spoke Ukrainian. I had no problems making dubbing when edging video). Becouse my grandmom (and mom, respectively) are from Ternopol region, and every summer during childhood I stay there.

False translator friendly words: Сметана - sour cream in Ukrainian and Russian Śmietanka - cream in Polish I read about it many years ago in a textbook It was so funny to finally actually see a Pole and a Ukrainian getting confused by it :)

[@grzegorzgrzesiak7498]

Śmietana is also sour cream in polish. Śmietanka is cream.

[@vvladchik]

To clear the confusion: "Vershky" in Ukrainian means the cream collected "z verhu" = "z wierzchu" = "from the top" of milk. They are sweet and Polish equivalent is "śmietanka" indeed. "Śmietana" is "kwaśnа"/"kysla"/"sour". Funny enough "sour cream" is literally translated into Polish as "kwaśnа śmietanka". Pozdrawiam!

Google translator translates the same “sour cream” and “cream” to “smetana” )))

[@vvladchik]

@@NicolasRomanenko Google translator is no authority for me, although I've double checked, and for me it translated cream as "śmietanka". You are better off if you type "Cream" (dairy product) in English wiki and then change the language to Polish. You'll see the difference with google translator.

I have to admit that I watched this video at least 3 times, because, well, Zhenia is a perfect example of East Slavic beauty, but also because I like Ukrainian language a lot since it reminds me of Ikavian dialect of Croatian, which is mostly present in Southern Croatia (Dalmatia), but also in some parts of Eastern Croatia, Bosnia and Northern Serbia. To give a few examples: where in Standard Croatian you would say tijelo (body), svježe (fresh) svijet (world), svjetlo (a light), in Ikavian you would say tilo, sviže, svit, svitlo, which is exactly the same in Ukrainian. This sounds very exotic and kind of ''cute'' to me. And here are the words in Croatian: 0. Životinja (animal); zvijer (wild animal, beast); čovjek (man, human being) 1. Pas (dog) 2. Ovca (sheep), ovčica (small sheep); janje (lamb); vuna (wool), runo (fleece) 3. Kokoš / kokoška (hen), kokot / pijetao / pijevac (cock, rooster), and he sings (pjeva) ''kukuriku'' in the morning 4. Slon (elephant), slonica (female elephant), velike uši (big ears), slon u penziji / slon u mirovini / umirovljeni slon (retired elephant) 5. Krava (cow), krava pase travu (a cow is grazing grass), krava daje mlijeko (a cow gives milk), bik (bull), tele (calf); sir (cheese), vrhnje (cream), kiselo vrhnje (sour cream) 6. Jednorog (unicorn), jedan rog na čelu (one horn on his forhead) By the way, the word for dragon in Polish - smok, reminded me a lot of Smaug, the infamous dragon from Hobbit, and then I found some sources that claim that Tolkien actually took this word from Polish. In Croatian dragon is zmaj, which possibly has the same root as the word for a snake - zmija.

All this people were always in close contacts, reason is that the area is very flat (Pannonian Plain), while other parts of Slovenia are very hilly and mountainous, because of that Slovene has a lot of different dialects. I think that dialects in north-eastern Slovenia were not affected by innovations of other Slovenian dialects in significant way and stayed more “common Slavic” and what is more Slavic people lived in the territory where nowadays is Hungary, before Hungarians entered the Pannonian Plain. They even formed Slavic state that was called Lower Pannonia (Spodnja Panonija) and those Slavic people were bridge between ancestors od Slovenians and Ukrainians.

[@romanstudia]

I love your videos! Please, keep making them! In my opinion one of the main difficulties that Eastern Slavs face when they hear Polish are the nasal sounds, that make even similar words sound unfamiliar. Also if people knew that r is often followed by “z” sound, which doesn’t happen in Ukrainian/Russian, it would make things much easier to understand!

[@SzalonyKucharz]

Z does not often follow r. The 'rz' digraph is how palatalized (soft) r is pronounced in Polish, in its contemporary version identical to ż, which is almost the same sound as ж in Cyrylic alphabet. Hence, a river (река in Russian, řeka in Czech) becomes rzeka in Polish (and if we were to switch to Cyrylic, the best transliteration would be жeкa). In the same vein, Russian орех = Slovak orech = Polish orzech. And республика = Rzeczpospolita. :) However, Russian hand (рука) becomes ręka in Polish, so there is no palatalization or r (therefore no merging of rz into ż), but another typical Polish transformation of sounds takes place, with u (Russian y) being nasalized into ę. Similarily, Czech Uzeniny are wĘdliny in Polish, and HUngary are WĘgry.

[@tymmiara5967]

I think nasal sounds themselves are not as big of a problem as the fact that around 15th century Polish has mixed up the big and small yus completely. It would be easier if Polish had retained consistency, with other languages i.e. retained "ę" wherever there is a russian Я sound, or South Slavic "e" sound and "ą" where there is a corresponding u-sound in other languages. For example, "oględać" instead of "oglądać", in order to fit in with south-slavic "gledati" and east-slavic "оглядывать") and also used "bądą" instead of "będę", in order to fit in with "budu"). These inconsistencies have introduced lots of irregularities in the Polish language itself, like "bądź"/"będę", "wziąłem"/"wzięłam", "gałąź"/"gałęzie". If the pronunciation of "ę" was also closer to nasal ä-sound and "ą" closer to nasal ų-sound, as it has been resolved in the construction of the interslavic language, then speech would be much more similar to the neighbouring languages. And now that we talk about it, probably getting rid of "ą" symbol for a nasal o-sound is probably also a good step forward. As to "rz, sz, cz" digraphs, it is easier to write on a foreign keyboard and in foreign documents than if we had ř, š, č. But the rule is quite simple with "rz". Wherever in proto-slavic r is followed by ě, we have "rz". Orěh -> orzech, drěvo->drzewo, trěba->trzeba.

[@SzalonyKucharz]

@@tymmiara5967 Yeah, and the differences between 'okrąg' and 'okręg', 'krąg' and 'kręg', as well as 'chęć' and 'chuć'.

[@lukask7445]

@@SzalonyKucharz I doubt if Ж is the best transliteration. Eastern languages lost connection with ʒ sound in such cases and therefore they speak simply 'r'. The letter Ж is related to western Ż or Ž (жінка, життя etc.). Converting RZ or Ř into Ж would be disorthographic.

[@lukask7445]

@Jonathan Vera Jonathan, I'm a Polish native. There is a strong ethymological/morphological rule: if a word historically had R (and sometimes keeps R in other languages in a family) and now it is ʒ then must be written 'rz'. No exceptions. Russian Ж corresponds to Ż in words in other slavic languages. R hasn't transformed to ʒ sound in Russian and they still speak it (reka, more etc.).

Very interesting. I used to believe that Ukrainian and Russian are closer together but oviously its Polish and Ukrainian.

[@danarossa]

Russians don't understand Ukrainan

[@sowauszata2142]

It's a common mistake, but for example when Ukrainians and Belarussians (speaking Belarussian) talk, they under stand each other quite well. Same with Polish and Ukrainian. But those who speak only Russian will understand a much smaller part of that conversation

[@AdrianBoyko]

I suspect that mutual intelligibility is much easier when vocabularies are similar, as is the case for Ukrainian and Polish. But are Ukrainian and Russian more similar when it comes to grammar?

[@dominicburenok7543]

Belarus, Ukraine, Poland, Cheh, Slovak - all these countries are similar, russia want to steal they history, that's why people who know a little think that ukraine is more similar to russia

[@dominicburenok7543]

Ukraine named Kyivska Rus a long time ago, and they named "rusy" but in 1721 Petro 1 stole this name for his country named Moscow`ia. Whole russia it is just Moscow and region. Name "Russia" connected to modern Russia it is like Indians connected to India

[@diyandraganov2660]

Hi there! I watched your video and was surprised that many Polish words completely coincide with the Bulgarian ones. I will give you examples. Lapy, owca, jagne, pies, mleko, slon. slonica, pluwa, smietana, pieje etc. And many of the words are close: keslo-kiselo, kwasne-kwaseno, rogi(roga, rogi), welna-walna. Surprisingly, some Bulgarian words are closer to Polish than Ukrainian words, which are closer to Russian.

Actually, more than 80% of vocabulary is similar. Ukrainian has more words shared with Polish language than with Russian, even Russian and Ukrainian are Eastern Slavic languages and Polish is western Slavic language. We are just neighbors and the border dialects are even more similar.
