POLISH VS SWEDISH - Language Challenge

A girl from Poland tries to speak Swedish while a Swedish guy tries to speak Polish in a language challenge. This was filmed in Gdansk, Poland during the Nordic Talking Festival.
My language challenge videos are based on the idea that I and a person from another country try to repeat each other's languages. This series can either be with friends from other countries or me finding tourists around Stockholm, or when I travel to other countries.
The first language challenge: • Swedish girl tries to ...

As a half-Swede half-Pole; this should be fun 🇸🇪 🇵🇱

[@thom110]

I'm from Croatia and I understood all sentences in Polish language because Polish is Slavic language like Croatian, Serbian or Bosnian. Greetings from Croatia 😊🇭🇷 P.S Try recording Swedish VS some South Slavic language. ♥️

[@TheSwedishLad]

That kind of makes sense, much like the Scandinavian languages having connections.

[@thom110]

You're right, and I agree. Thanks so much for the reply! 😄

BЯaiCa Its not possible understand everything for Croatian😅 I’m Czech and i understand only some words in Polish and we're west slavs you're south...so..

[@thom110]

@@maximgunnarson3291 Well, I know that, but there in the Slavic languages are some the Germanizers in these Slavic languages. I'm trying to study all Slavic languages, and I have a friend from Czech Republic. It's not to hard when you If you try and you want to study these languages,That's all and I think it is Posibble, but not so Easy. Much love from Croatia! Balkan!

[@thom110]

@@maximgunnarson3291 Also, the South Slavs are the same languages. We understand all South Slavic languages in the region. But, How can I say... We mostly hate each Other on Balkan peninsula. (I don't each other on this Balkan. Regardless of religion, nation, language or past and similar).

[@lanvin1982]

haha that was hilarious! I've lived in Britain for the last 15 years and I really think people cannot repeat Polish words just from hearing them

Before you started talking i though you were Polish and she was Swedish.

Totally. So many people in the room running the show, ha ha

[@ak5659]

I'm sooooooooooooooo glad my older relatives spoke to me in Polish and not English when I was little. I can't imagine learning Polish pronunciation as an adult.

[@plukatek98]

the reason we (well, at least me) laughed at 3:20 is because "koń" can sometimes mean "d*ck". And apparently we are all 12 yrs old.

[@TheSwedishLad]

aaaaaahhh. And yes we are!

[@luizsilveiramc]

In Spanish (Spain), there's the word "coño", which means "pus**, cun*" hahaha 😂

[@risakoizumi7647]

I'm Polish and I do t really like the language but one positive is: its actually easy for me to pronounce most other languages words correctly

[@TheSwedishLad]

ha ha, top of the difficult language pronunciation chain. Everything is easy from there.

It seems to me that Polish is the Danish of Slavic languages. That’s a compliment of course👍🏾

Dlaczego XD

[@Hitori-h9g]

his swedish sounds like danish

[@Terraribaman]

hes from a region called skåne and its a swedish dialect that is similiar to danish

[@Gnybr]

It's because he's from southern Sweden called Skåne. Their dialect is influenced by danish

[@antiwacks4017]

Why do slavs talk scandinavian languages easier

[@TheSwedishLad]

It's a mystery, for sure

[@Timpish3n]

You should use "stockholms-swedish" instead of "skåne-swedish" because it sounds more like danish when you speak with skåne-accent...

[@Timpish3n]

Should be "danish" vs "polish"

[@TheSwedishLad]

No, that's a whole other language, all though Swedish and Danish are sibling languages.

[@Timpish3n]

@@TheSwedishLad Ni låter ju mer som danskar än svenskar så blir ju missvisande för dom som inte kan svenska, danskarna förstår ju skånska sämre än stockholmskan av nån anledning

[@TheSwedishLad]

@@Timpish3n Skånskan är den dialekt som ligger närmast de romanska språken. Att en eller flera dialektgrupper kan vara missvisande är ju direkt fel. Sen att populärkultur och televisionen har gått mer och mer bort från dialekter under de senaste 30 åren är i sig sorgligt. Detta borde vara något man vill bevara. Hade jag haft en grov skånska så hade det varit en sak.

Polish is so hard for Scandinavians - I actually find Russian easier to pronounce :-)

[@gnawershreth]

I think it's that Russian at least seem to use vowels. lol Even though I don't understand a word of Russian, at least I can have a go at it (assuming it's not in Cyrillic). When looking at a Polish sentence I often have no clue where to even start as I don't know how to pronounce so many consonants in a row. :D

[@biari8599]

@@gnawershreth but several of them are digraphs (sz, cz, rz), which reduces the number of consonants that need to be actually pronounced... so in reality, in most cases it's effectively only two consonants in a row instead of say four.

[@gnawershreth]

bi ari, Sure but you need to know the language then, someone who doesn't speak Polish at all don't know about digraphs in the language at all. They just see the individual consonants and get confused. :)

@@gnawershreth Fair enough :D

trust me it's incomprehensible even to russians and to other slavic people, I think

Surprised at the words he was struggling with... they weren't even difficult ones with lots of consonants, but instead rather simple words. but still, thank you for making a video about polish language

[@lohovi6571]

yes it is, as well as many other polish words ;) kształt derives from "die Gestalt" (the silhouette). (other words would be ratusz (Rathaus), szuflada (Schublade), gęś (Gans), ląd (Land; correct translation would be Ufer), wihajster (literally "Wie heißt der" (should be actually das/es); you say wihajster when a word is at the tip of your tongue but you don't know the name of it (whatsit, thingamabob) there are so many more :D

[@TheSwedishLad]

Languages have always changed over time. It is not something new, but I do believe that many even smaller languages will start to disappear first.

[@АняНикитчук-х4ь]

TheSwedishLad for comments like this Swedish language is dying, you don’t even care about your own language, and you make that silly excuse. Swedish will disappear and will be replaced by what? English? Wow that’s so original! Another English speaking country! That’s exactly what the world needs! Thank you! It’s sad because Swedish language is dying because of you Swedish people, a lot of you speak English, so foreigners living there don’t even bother to learn the language, very soon Sweden will be a Muslim English speaking country.

[@lucashedstrom3830]

@@АняНикитчук-х4ь Lol. Swedish is definitely not dying. Just because we are excellent at english it doesn't mean that our language is dying. Stop listening to fake news and propaganda!

[@LuisRamirez-wl5fe]

I was thinking the same thing. English has taken over the Netherlands and most of Scandinavia and their people look so happy about it. English will be an official language in a matter of a few years in those places and a few more after that the native languages will gradually become a minority before they completely disappear! Yes seriously, if these countries do not take precautions or over expose their people to English this will happen sooner than later. I mean these people look so confortable speaking English between them they can't even understand each other with their own dialects and English is became the de facto language within one country! I'm really scared how this guy seems to really hate other languages when listening other people even with neighbor countries and English seems like their own language. Really Swedish and Danes look really odd to each other when speaking their own language and fall to speak English instead since it's "easier".
