Fun fact: "samochód" as a name for an automobile was chosen by the Polish public in a vote in 1920s. Other candidates included "samojedź" and "samojazd".

[@HeroManNick132]

Why you don't just say ''kola?'' It's simpler and also it is related to cart.

[@fylkirh]

@HeroManNick132 koło was an early word used for a bicycle, a direct translation from German "rad". It's still used in Silesian dialect, but in general Polish it was replaced by "rower", coming from Rover, a company making bicycles in early 20th century. So I believe, koło was out of discussion thanks to the bicycles.

If they didn't speak English so well, they would communicate by throwing words at each other and in 1 month they would have a Slavic pidgin. Edit: I already knew there's a language called Interslavic. As far as I know, it isn't thaught anywhere and while understood by most Slavic speakers who get to hear it, it is not widely spoken. So, it is just a curiosity. There's a language like that for Romance languages called Interlingua. You hear it, understand it, say it is cool and then never study or use it anymore. What I meant to say is that they would create their own Slavic pidgin if they lived together for a month (and chose not to speak English ofc). The same could be said of a trio of Spanish, Portuguese and Italian speakers. If there were a French person, he or she would be left out of most convos. 😔

1. I noticed, that for "country" Bulgainan said "strana" while the tooltip was "derzhava" (btw the same word exists in Russian as well, but meaning is slightly different). 2.

In Russian there are also words " lekar' ", "bazar".

[@HeroManNick132]

1. държава =/= держава. Е and Ъ are very different sounds. Russian has this sound as unstressed O which in many words with О like вопрос becomes въпрос in Bulgarian (basically pronounced the same but written differently). Macedonian kept that old form where О is presented not replaced with Ъ as in the Eastern dialects (just like Russian in some dialects kept the historical O sound). The only exception is the old form - жъртва became жертва like Russian. Macedonian kept it as жртва. Just like херой with герой. 2. That is basically ''школа'' in Bulgarian (she didn't mention that). The words are swapped. 3. Before 1945 we used to write ''лекарь'' but the er vowels got dropped off since they lost their sound and from soft Р became hard. The softness is kept when you add the articles - лекаря/лекарят.

Русской девушке следовало дать несколько комментариев: Слово "лекарь" (lekar) все еще используется в русском языке, но в литературных произведениях, театре и кино. От слова "лекарь" (lekar) происходит слово "лекарства" (lekarstva) = медикаменты. "Училище" (uchilishe) - это обозначение учебного заведения, которое по статусу выше школы, но ниже университета. "Град" (Grad) - все еще широко используется в русском языке, хоть официально в грамматике правильно "Город" (Gorod), в названии городов - "Волгоград" (Volgograd), ранее использовалось "Ленинград, Петроград, Сталинград" (Leningrad, Pertograd, Stalingrad) и многих других городах. Есть и слова, которые образованы от него - "Градостроитель" (Gradostroitel), "Градоначальник" (Gradonachalnik). Grad/Gorod - ситуация очень похожа со словом Vrata/Vorota - их используют параллельно друг другу, но Vrata - это монументальные Vorota, когда ты говоришь "Врата в рай", "Врата в ад" или "Врата в большой замок" - то используешь именно "vrata", а если "ворота во двор дома" - то это именно "vorota". Русский язык прошел несколько реформ, поэтому нам очень легко понять слова из других славянских языков, которые официально не используются, но в сознании народа еще сохранились, ипользуются в искусстве и фольклоре. Если мы медленно читаем комментарии на сербском или польском языке даже, если они написаны латиницей, то 90% текста мы понимаем, даже если по-русски это записалось бы иначе, нам помогают синонимы и слова из фольклора понять, что именно хотел написать автор. Украинский язык понять еще легче, так как помимо текста, мы понимаем проще и произношение. От украинских друзей слышал, что украинцам одновременно легко понять и поляков, и русских, тк их произношение позволяет проще понимать оба языка, тк фонетически находится где-то по середине (Если здесь есть украинцы и я ошибся, то поправьте)

As a Bulgarian, I felt the closest and most understood the Serbian girl. In addition, she is the most likeable to me, more likeable even than the Bulgarian girl herself. She is very fresh, smiling and natural in her behavior and I liked that! It is a mistake for us Bulgarians that we don't have warmer relations with the Serbs, we are not on bad terms, but we are just not particularly close and we rarely travel to their country, they also rarely are our guestes here, and we rarely have any kind of relationship (except commercial maybe, because some of our companies work with the Serbian companies, but they are still too little in quantity), and it would be so easy for us since we are close as a territory, we have many common traditions and the culture is similar, and we understand each other's languages. I think that relations with our neighbors should become even friendlier and closer in the future! In the second place, right after the Serbian girl, I liked the Russian girl the most, she is the most clear to me, and not only because I studied Russian at school, but also because we have the most common words and whole expressions are scommon, оur sentence structure is the same, we write in the same alphabet... It was strange to me when the Russian girl said that she didn't understand Bulgarian speech most of all, and after that, when I watched all the videos, I realized that she simply didn't know us as a people and that she wasn't used to listening to our speech! But after a while she herself admitted that she understood our language very well and that it was the closest to Russian, right after Belarusian and Serbian. Maybe the long distance is the reason why Bulgarians are so unknown to Russians. At least that's how it seems to me! I understand all the other languages ​​at 60% (depending on the context, the level of understanding may vary), with the exception of Polish and Slovak. Especially the Polish language, I just find it totally incomprehensible, I was even surprised that we have any words in common with them. :)

[@Ne0LiT]

A few things to throw in there as a Bulgaria, many of the words where Buglarian wasn't similar to other languages, we HAVE those words, but they're antics, left in our language that have been substituted by newer words and those old words are only really used in literature or you can find the remnants in things named after the word. A few examples - Forest - Гора, we also have the same word as everyone else Лес, this word however, now is only used in literature and some jobs are called after it, for example Лесничейство, which is pretty much the Forestry service or something of that sort, and the person is Лесничей. And in literature you can often find the forest to be referred to as "Лес" so pretty much any bulgarian would be able to tell what the word means, but it's just a remnant word that we've substituted almost completely now. Another example again from the video would be the word Voz that some use to describe a train. In bulgarian there is the word Kolovoz, which is the word we use to describe a few things, a railway in the trainstation, or a path made by vehicles wheels in for example the mud or snow. Bulgarian was modernized and simplified a lot after Bulgaria freed itself from Ottoman rule with the exact reasoning to make the language easier to understand and learn for both foreigners and locals. We've dropped the case system, which many have had issues with, so Bulgarian is on the easier side to learn, but just as hard if not harder than the rest to master. So now because of that we have ended up having a lot of well "remnant", "relic", or "dead" words that we usually don't use, but many other Slavic countries still use, yet we understand the meaning since these remnant words are either still used in literature, or the naming of certain things related to the orignal word.

[@mlrd2687]

Of all the Slavic languages, Serbs understand the Bulgarian language best. Of course not counting Croatian, Bosniak and Montenegrin, which is identical to Serbian.

Strona is pretty close to our word Storona (сторона), which usually means «side», but can be used for the poetic metaphor of a country too (на чужой стороне - on the unfamiliar side, but means «in the unfamiliar country»). The most close synonym for Polish dzierżawa in Russian is arendovannaya zemlya (арендованная земля); arenda is «rent» or «lease» in English and zemlya is «land» in that case. Państwo as a country is Russian Gosudarstvo (государство). I think these two words were composed according to the same principle, because Polish Pan is literally translated in Russian as Gosudar' (государь) or Gospodin (господин).

It is a pity that the ladies from the Czech Republic and Slovakia don't know the ancient and very interesting origin of the word TRH (market) and PLATBA (payment/cloth) in their languages. It is indeed an ancient practical term, unlike in other Slavic languages, where the word (BAZAR) was probably adopted later from other languages. In the 10th century, an Arab merchant Ibrahim ibn Jacob stayed for a short time in Prague in Bohemia (Czechia) and recorded that pieces of cloth (PLÁTNO) were used as local currency in that country. Since cloth/linen can be ripped, hence TRH (the market such a place where clothes are ripped for payment). And you can also pay with these pieces of cloth/linen, hence PLATIT/VÝPLATA (payment, wages - such as verb "to cloth, to pay for goods with pieces of cloths".

@@gooryewood In Polish there is a saying: ,,A niechaj narodowie wżdy postronni znają, iż Polacy nie gęsi i swój język mają" (Translation - And let outside nations know that Poles are not geese and have their own language) And I agree with that. Language is really important, it's one of the national symbols like hymn or a flag. It's something that says, hey, I am not Russian, I am Belarusian and I am proud of that (in Belarusian case, I am not Belarusian) I understand that Belarusian know Russian and use it because of ZSRR. Poland also didn't exist for 123 years. So Poles were using German or Russian in daily life, because they didn't have a choice. But they didn't forget a language. They were using it in private, in families even tho it was illegal. And now? In Poland Polish is a main language, there is no another. And if someone wouldn't know Polish, it would mean that he or she is not a Pole. For them it is an absurd - having their own language like Belarusian in Belarus and didn't even know that language. I understand that now Belarusian seems to be not really important because even in Belarus people don't know that language, but it shouldn't be like that. In Belarus Belarusian should be used as a native and official language of that country. Then Belarusian would become more important. And also it's a beautiful language, it's a pity that it is not commonly used.

In Serbian: - country - "zemlja" and "država" (this two terms are used interchangeably, but more precisely "država" refers to a political unit that has its own government, laws, and institutions, ect. while "zemlja" usually refers to physical space or territory. This can include geographical features, such as mountains, rivers, and soils. Zemlja can also be used in a broader sense to refer to nations, cultures, or specific peoples; država can also mean state and zemlja also mean Earth, land, ground); "strana" - side, page; "kraj" - end, neighborhood, edge, boundary, place, ..., "krajina" - frontier, region,.... - doctor - medical doctor "lekar, doktor" and PhD "doktor"; Russian word is funny because in our language "vrač, vračar, vračara" means witch doctor, fortune teller - "vreme" is both time and weather, but we have "nepogoda" - Bad weather, "pogodno" - convenient, suitable, good; "pošast" - It is used to denote a serious illness, epidemic or some kind of disaster, an accident that brings great losses (it can also be a consequence of bad weather). - school - "škola"; "učilište" did exist but it is very archaic, but we have "učiti, učitelj / učiteljica, učenik, učenjak, učionica" - time - "vreme"; čas - hour, lesson, moment; sometimes it can mean time like in "doći ću za tili čas - I'll be back in no time" - market - if we talk about farmer market "pijaca" (most common, from Italian piazza), sometimes "pazar" (from Persian bazar; in text in video it was written "vašar" which have different meaning - fair, people's gathering, kermis) and "tržnica" and in economy (global market, stock market, ect.) "tržište"; "trg" - square, plaza

That is because Polish used to have the sound too, until language reform in the 19th century dropped it, with "rz" now being pronounced as ž. And Czechia on the other hand reformed away from "rz", "cz", "dz" "sz" to ř, č, ď, š. So Polish has retains the obsolete orthography for letters that are now pronounced differently, and Czech still uses obsolete "Polish Orthography" in English words like Czech, Czechia.
