[@mikoajbojarczuk9395]

@@timg.5400 From what I can see, Slovenian seems to be the closest to West Slavic languages in terms of lexicon. Because of this significant relation, the similarities I can hear in Slovenian speech bring the comfort in me. Other South Slavic languages are more distant thus more challenging to understand for West Slavic speakers, with me alike. However, I've been learning Serbo-Croatian for three years now so my mutual intelligibility of it improved ever since getting to grips with it through my first months of its study. I can definitely agree with your opinion and recall that Slovenian is indeed close to West Slavic languages without a doubt, given that it's actually the closest relative. From my experience, the most distant South Slavic language to the West Slavic languages is Bulgarian, having only roughly 25-30% of lexical overlap with them (although these statistics vary from topic) which is the bare minimum of how similar two distantly related Slavic languages of any reasonable pair can be.

Being Slovenian, Polish is to soft and buzzy for me. I used to work with Polish people, so a caught some words in Polish. Speaking Croatian-Bosnian-Serbian makes me easier to understand some Russian, Macedonian and Bulgarian. I spent 1 month in Czech Republik years ago in 1968, and after a month I was able to speak Czech colloquially. Slavic languages are quite close to each other (as Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and Romanian). Polish is for me like French for Italians- to soft and to buzzy, but still easy to learn, it takes just more time to come it in the ear.

His way of speaking sounds normal to me. Perhaps some of his speech characteristics can be ascribed to a specific region, but nothing struck me as weird when I was watching the video. Polish is a very homogeneous language, with everyone speaking an approximation of standard Polish nowadays.

[@Ola-jz7oj]

Bardzo go lubię - sound much more natural. In Polish you don't have strict order of words cause every word has end changed, but some versions sound ugly. Examples: Bardzo go lubię 👍 Lubię go bardzo 👍 Go bardzo lubię - here better jego than go. If you say: Jego bardzo lubię, ale... - it's like I like HIM very much but... Lubię bardzo go, bardzo lubię go - understandable, but sounds bad. But don't take it as a rule, for example: I take him (🐕) for a walk would be: Biorę go na spacer Na spacer go biorę - sounds good too, but it sounds like for a walk is more important, like someone asked you where do you take it? and that's your answer. Seems crazy? Yes, but don't worry. Even if you mess the order and it sounds strange, it's perfectly understandable. You're not native, if you will learn Polish you will start to feel it quickly. Polish is mostly about feeling it, majority of Poles don't remember even the names of cases, but use it perfectly everyday. Even if you mess everything, Poles will try to understand you and will be very happy you at least try to learn our beautiful but difficult language 😊 Powodzenia ♥️

[@cactuscanarion2540]

That was a really fun video! I am native Italian and (half-native) Slovenian speaker and I gotta say it pretty was hard for me to understand Polish, but seeing the transcription helped me out to understand a little more. I grabbed some words here and there... It's curious how, despite being two Slavic languages, using words deriving from Latin (or ancient Greek), helped both sides to communicate and understand each other better. I've got a question for you guys: maybe I don't speak Slovenian well enough (I've attended an elementary school in Slovenian language in Italy and spoke Slovenian with my grandparents when I went to visit them), but after seeing many videos comparing Slavic languages my opinion is that they are quite mutually intelligible, but Slovenian is a bit different. Happens that Slovaks and Croatians can understand Slovenes better than Slovenes can understand them.... Is that right or it's all in my mind? My sister said that those languages have words that are not used in Slovenian, but also have synonyms that are less used (but are similar to the Slovenian words)... So they have an "advantage" in understanding Slovenian but it's not always reciprocal... Would you agree with that Jasmina?

Only some are mutually intelligible not all. Slovene for example is only (to certain point) mutually intelligible to Croatian.

[@RedHotAmarth]

@@Kms356xfgh ничего подобного - словенцы с чехами некоторый период были в австро-венгерской республике, но на языковые связи надо глядеть дальше на тысячу лет назад . Они разделены географически другим народом - сегодня это австрийцы. Словенский народ как часть славян преимущественно заселялись через Балканы (вероятнее всего продвигались через Болгарию, Сербию, Македонию, Боснию, Хорватию). Ну и возможно какая-то волна заселения и была через Закарпатье-Словакию, но влияние языков куда сильнее соседних сербского и хорватского, чем чешского.

[@Kms356xfgh]

@@RedHotAmarth я давно живу в Баварии. В Чехии работал несколько месяцев с чешскими клиентами, бываю там в отпуске. Часто езжу на машине на море в Хорватию через Словению и Австрию. Очень люблю эту дорогу с красивыми зелёными горными ландшафтами. По дороге в этих странах естественно слушаю местное радио. Хорватский для русского уха понимается намного лучше, чем словенский или чешский. Чешский и словенский по мелодии похожи. Словения (тогда графство Кайна) с 10-го века входила в (Германскую/Франкскую) Священную Римскую Империю (в том числе Баварию, потом в империю Габсбургов, Австровенгрию). Т.е. где то 900 лет. Чехия тоже несколько сот лет входила в империю Габсбургов и Австро-Венгрию. Причём и те, и другие административно были в австрийской части империи с сильным немецким влиянием. Хорватия долго была в унии с Венгрией, а потом уже гораздо позже и в империи Габсбургов/Австро-Венгрии, но в венгерской её части. Так что словены с чехами жили вместе в одной империи (под разными названием) больше 500 лет.. И да, хорваты понимают словен хуже, чем словены хорват, т.к. словены раньше учили сербохорватский в школе, а хорваты словенский не учили. Ну и Словения в Югославии была таким же инородным телом, как Прибалтика в СССР. Т.е. страна с западной историей и индустрией попала в преимущественно восточное государство со всеми его проблемами и недостатками.

Wow, “sladoled” (ice-cream) is such an interesting word for me as a Russian. It could easily be a Russian word too. Two roots “slad” (sweet) and “led” (ice) are put together with the help of the linking vowel “o”. Morphological derivation is exactly like in my language. Russian words: samolet (sam/self, letat/fly = airplane, parokhod (par/steam, khod/move = steamship and so on) In Russian sladky lyod means sweet ice. And ice-cream in Russian is “morozhenoe” (moroz = freeze)

Surprisingly I guessed all 5 words right, even though I was not sure about the last one. If I was there with you, I would write it like this: 1. Ноутбук/Noutbuk - Laptop 2. Футбол/Futbol - Football/Soccer 3. Сказка/Skazka - Fairytale 4. Мороженое/Moroženoje - Ice Cream 5. Девочка/Devočka, Девушка/Devuška - Girl, Young woman The easiest one was with ice cream, I got it from the beginning. It's also interesting how Russian, my native language, is somewhere in the middle of Western and Southern Slavic languages. The vocabulary that is original, old rural vocabulary, then it's closer to Polish, but also there is a ton of vocabulary that was borrowed to Russian from Old Church Slavonic, which was borrowed to OCS from ancient dialects of Thessaloniki, which then fromed into Bulgarian and Macedonian languages. So Russian being an East Slavic language originally is closer to Polish in many ways, but the added words that came with Orthodox Christianity make you able to understand a lot of South Slavic words. Bascially if you know Russian and Ukrainian, you can understand a lot of what comes to Slavic languages. Also the word "hint" in Slovenian is "Namig", when in Russian it's "Namiok", which is really similar. I really appreciate what you do, Norbert, thanks and keep it up!

As someone who has some passive understanding of croatian, the last bit was really funny to watch, I was almost yelling at the screen about djevojci and muškarci -- y'all said the answer multiple times lol. Polish is super hard to understand but with subtitles I sometimes get bits.

Jasmina była super - dała ciekawe, proste słowa, i jej podpowiedzi były naprawdę sensowne. Maciej nie ma bladego pojęcia jak słuchać obcych języków słowiańskich i jestem pewien, że jak obejrzy ten filmik z napisami, to uzyska ogrom cennej wiedzy i załapie sposób myślenia jakim trzeba się posługiwać ;) Za drugim, trzecim razem zrobiłby ogromny postęp. No..... tak jak każdy z nas tutaj :)

Potwierdzam. Napisy pomogły!:))

A ja mam wrażenie, że Maciej czasem rozumie, ale w scensriuszu ma, aby dopytywać, lub aby filmik był dłuższy. PS. Mam wrażenie, że na takich międzysłowiańskich zawodach bym sobie poradził, szczególnie, że treści w tych językach staram się ogarniać bez tłumaczenia na angielski. Pozdrawiam.
