Similarities Between Romanian and Ukrainian

In this week’s episode, Andrei (Romanian speaker) and Kristina (Ukrainian speaker) compete with a list of words that are shared between their languages. As mentioned in the video, Andrei has his own KZbin channel where he talks to travellers and residents of Toronto about their experiences in our lovely city and as well as other travel stories.

The Romanian language (Românește) is an East Romance language primarily spoken in Romania and Moldova, having an official status in both countries, as well as being one of the official languages of the European Union. It is recognized as a minority language in Bulgaria, Hungary, Serbia, and Ukraine. Romanian belongs to the Italic branch of the Indo-European language family, sharing a lot in common with French, Italian, Spanish, Catalan, and Portuguese, however, it is not mutually intelligible with them. Ukrainian is an East Slavic language primarily spoken in the Ukraine where it has official status, while also recognized as a minority language in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Moldova, Poland, Romania, Serbia, and Slovakia.

Here's an idea: expansion. Go from 2 speakers to 3 or 4. You can have an interesting web of connections. 20% of romanian is of slavic origin but in addition to add ukrainain and romanian can be similar due to ottoman influences. Many turkish influences on language are specifically in culinary fields and many unrelated languages in the balkans have commono words related to food because of that. So you can have like french and romania- connection due to latin roots, then romanian-turkish and turkish and language from some other muslim country, obviously being influenced by the koran, the arabic empires etc. So imagine having french, romanian, turkish and persian.... all in one video. And you can have coomon words, culinary words and .... whatever words are similar between turkish and persian. It would beinteresting to see how the similarities fluctuate based on geography AND specific lexical field.

[@RoScFan]

of course french-romanian-turkish-persian is just an example. The point is to have 3 or 4 speakers instead of 2 and to vary the seakers based on: 2 languages related by language faimily, one of those related to the next by geography and the last 2 related by something else. Here's another example like that: polish-bulgarian-turkish-swahili. Polish-bulgarian both slavic, bulgarian also heavily influenced by turkish and turkish and swahili both influenced by arabic. You get the idea.

A Ukrainian here, "топор" (topor) is a Russian word for an axe, it's "сокира" (sokyra) in Ukrainian, other than that great video!

[@Zdamaneta]

In romanian we use both topor (топор) and secure (сокира).

[@Featheroid]

Proper similar word in ukrainian is "топір" - which means a battle axe or a simple axe in some dialects.

[@simplychannel6557]

in russian we also have this word- sekira, but sekira is not just an axe, it is just a type of axe

[@ijnfrt]

Perhaps, I'm from Rivne Region and to our ears "топор" (topor) sounds Russian (I've heard "топір" (topir) being used here, but in my mind it's some kind of weapon). But you're right there ar a lot of variations in Ukrainian, though I still tend to think that "сокира" is widely accepted to be a "standard Ukrainian" (meaning that most dicitonaries will have "сокира" as opposed to "топор")

[@simd5776]

Romanian language is very rich. So, there are many romanian words that express the same thing. For example, for axe we have: topor, toporisca, secure/sacure/sacura, baltag/baltac ,barda, toaipa (in Moldova), or satar (used by butcher). Some words, as baltag, are archaic, but they are still used at countryside, in some regions of Romania.

[@GholaTleilaxu]

Topor is the general word for any axe, but usually used to refer to the tool one uses to cut wood with, or the heads of hens and cocks (to turn them into soup and roast). A toporișcă = a small axe. Secure (decrepit) was used to refer to a small-handled axe one used to kill or maim people with in battle or out of battle (see securizat, security, etc.) Baltag is an archaism/Turkish borrowing for a long-handled axe or a secure, used in Romanian literature mostly for life-ending purposes. Bardă some claim to be an old Magyar word for small battle-axe but the word seems to be rather pre-Indo-European (see bard in English, Latin bardus). Satâr (borrowed from Turkish) = cleaver, the butcher's tool. I've never heard of toaipă/țoaipă (perhaps from a Daco-Sarmatian or Gothic origin or even older)

[@Hardcore_Remixer]

Toporisca este clar mai mai mica decat un topor si se traduce "hatchet" in engleza.

Yes, whoever doesn't go to church will not know the slavic influence on the vocabulary that much.

[@illllllllll8287]

In Kurdish 'Slava' means 'Salutations' and Slav = Salute

[@stannicolae4623]

TheMelopeus i wouldnt say that. Older books, and even older people use them. There isnt even a non slavic word for mercy actually

[@rdtgr8]

Zagros Kurdi In Kurdish rabun (literally "to be RA" where RA = Persian RU "over, up") means "to get up" and in Ukrainian robyty (literally "to be RO") means "to do, to make, to work, to produce". It seems these 2 are connected in meaning "to pile up, to build, to rise something". A worker is a person who builds houses, or rises grains and cattle. So Ukrainian verb origin may be understood from Kurdish

[@illllllllll8287]

rdtgr8 , In Persian 'to rise' or 'going up, rising up' is "Bala Raftan"... "Raftan" = going and "Bala" = up.. 'to get up' or 'to rise up'... Kurdish - - > Rabun Ukrainian - - > Robyty Persian - - > Bala Raftan

Cand cresti in alta tara de mic si persoanele in jurul tau nu folosesc acest cuvant, il uiti, sau posibil nu il inveti. Intleg ca multi Romani in alte tari isi retin cuvintele religioase, iara altii nu au nici-un folos de cuvinte care nu sunt necesare. Am impresia ca persoanele cu multe cuvinte religioase in vocabular se trag de la tara pentru ca avocatii si inginerii pe care iam cunoscut, nu au parut religioasi sa strige slava si milostiv. Iarasi nimeni nu ma certat vreo data ca nu am folosit aceste cuvinte intr-o conversatie.

Yes, it is almost impossible to find anyone in Romania not know those words, but Andrei has been living in Canada for the last 20 years. What is he 30 something? That means he probably relocated to Canada when he was a child and might not know some words that are used primary in religious or archaic contexts.

@@3wL7 fair enough, I agree with you on "mila", but not on "slava". Mila is indeed highly used and not the same as "iertare", but "slava" you rarely hear except in church or old literal poems.

[@guillermorivas7819]

"slava" or "milostiv" derive from Old Church Slavonic. The Romanian language up until the 19th century used to have like 50-60% of their words derived from Old Church Slavonic. They began to not use them anymore, instead chose to replace them with Latin/French words. In addition, there are various variants of Romanian with their own choice in vocabulary words with a preference in using a Latin-based word or a Slavic-based word.

[@saebica]

Guillermo Rivas And it's hard but I kinda can choose which one to use.. But it's hard 'cause you always analyze all the words. I'm sure of one thing: I recognize any word and I correctly feel its origins. Love

[@roromil2441]

Nope, Church Slavonic had little to do with what the people were speaking. The Cyrillic alphabet was in use but not Church Slavonic, Church Slavonic was a dead Church-only language. Also the way the elite started to use French words had little impact on the people's language, since even by the 1930s 70% of Romanians were illiterate. The fact that a small elite borrowed French words had little impact on the language's Latin roots.

[@saebica]

We're still illiterate, lol :D

[@guillermorivas7819]

@Roro Mil, That's another thing. Romanian used to use the Cyrillic Alphabet. Romanian from the 19th century used plenty of Slavic words derived from Old Church Slavonic. A campaign in the 19th century was established by the intelligentsia in Romania to revitalized the language with Latin/French words. Obviously, it took time to have people use Latin/French derived words over Slavic words but it happened. This is not to say that Romanian did not have Latin based words prior to the loan word (neologisms) effort. Again, even to this day, there are variants of Romanian that prefer using some words in Slavic while others in Latin/French. There are still some words from Slavic that only can be said in Slavic, not Latin/French.

[@roromil2441]

@Guillermo Rivas It wasn't a campaign, it was a current among some members of the intelligentsia. It ended in failure during the 1870s, after only a few decades of existence. Its promoters were ridiculed and sidelined for attempting to create an artificial language. Their effort was also too weak to impact the language spoken by the large masses of illiterate peasants. You should not confuse this current/campaign with the process that saw Romania's multilingual (but mainly French-speaking) elites starting using neologisms on a wide scale. This was a natural process. Today, since many Romanians speak English, neologisms are entering the language from English.

Don't understand why a lot of romanians so sure that romanian language has common roots only with Latin group of languages like french.

The test is somewhat misleading and here's why. Romania is surrounded by some 300 million speakers of Slavic languages. So no wonder the language contains some 30% words of Slavic origin. The percentage of old Slavic and Greek words is higher in the language spoken in the Church. But the Latin constitutes the core of vocabulary and its structure. So much, that you can make entire conversations with only words of Latin origin, but you can't make a single phrase that would sound natural using words of Slavic origin. It so happened that many words picked up were from the common stock, but as it showed when moving to full sentences, the two languages become initelligible to each other. To compensate for this, you bumped into a speaker who doesn't know his own language, not recognizing two words that are not so exotic at all. He would have heard them either at the church or if he read.... like... books. :)
