Strange, Croats also use the term morski pas just like Slovenians but we also understand what the Serbian ajkula is. Most Serbs understand what it is, I bet.

[@VeryClearLanguages]

Very accurate comparison. I would have liked to hear a Czech participant too.

[@antras9543]

Polish language is complicated, so enemy have hard time to understand.

Love how the slavic girls vibed together like sisters. 🥰 So cute! I'll use the unique 'morski pes' 😄 Never gonna say 'akula' ever again!

SLAVIC GANG AYEEEEEEEEEE 🗣️🗣️🗣️

[@Hosigie]

Yeah it's morski pas in Croatian too. I didn't know they say ajkula in Serbia. I thought most Slavic languages would say a version of morski pas hah

[@goranjovic3174]

In Serbia we said morski pas too and ajkula . Wondering how Draga didn't know that , for me it is unbelievable :O

Etymology of snow: from Middle English snow, snaw, from Old English snāw, from Proto-West Germanic snaiw, from Proto-Germanic snaiwaz, from Proto-Indo-European snóygʷʰos, from the root sneygʷʰ-.

Just one question: where is the representative of the largest Slavic nation?

[@DenBere9ovyi]

funny though you've ended up comparing words of Latin (karta, mapa) or Scandinavian (akula) origin adopted by Slavic languages (via different routes and with different level of adjustment to one's phonetics, but still). Words like strawberry/air/ice illustrate the real similarities and differences between the original slavic lexicons. Btw, zemljevid remains quite logical for Ukrainian as you literally "see the land". We have a word "краєвид" (krajevyd) in Ukrainian that's pretty same construction "kraj" - land (that's why Ukraine is Ukraine or Ukrajina, bc of "kraj") and "vyd" meaning view, but with a different meaning. krajevyd in Ukrainian means landscape or scenery. And yes, snow really shows we're all indo-europeans in terms of language (just check the etymology)

[@MaraMara89]

in polish landscape is krajobraz. Kraj - country, obraz - painting. But "obraz" is also used in some other situation, like early cinema - moving pictures was "ruchome obrazy"

[@histriamagna1014]

​@@MaraMara89In Croatian it's the same KRAJOBRAZ
