the main problem is that authentic Ukrainian words were destroyed under the oppression of the Russian Empire and the USSR, and most people now only know the literary Ukrainian language or words that were reworked by Soviet linguists, if we consider the period before the USSR, Ukrainian words were clearly more similar to other languages than to Russian . Although during the times of the Russian Empire, the words also changed under the pressure of the Russian-speaking population, who deliberately populated Ukrainian villages and cities.
І якщо згадати, то російська мова з'явилася досить пізно,знать в російській імперії розмовляла такими європейськими мовами як: французька та німецька, переважно,адже російські царі та цариці були наполовину німецької крові ,з тих знань що у мене є про саме російську мову,то можна прослідкувати чіткі паралелі схожих слів між слов'янськими мовами та рос мовою,хоча географічно і етнічно вона не могла мати ці слова. Не пам'ятаю як звали цю людину яка створила перший здається правопис або словник російської мови але одне залишається фактом: багато слів з західнослов'янських мов було вкрадено саме для того щоб уподібнити так звану російську мову до інших слов'янських мов, щоб її теж вважали слов'янською, звісно потім почалася еволюція цієї мови трансформера і зараз ми можемо побачити що ж вийшло.

All common words you have is Serbian originated :D I see ukranian as mixing of (polish/serbian), russian and germanic. Poland(Poljsha) is founded in 8th century before Christ as 3rd Serbian Kingdom and protection (by side/on side/u kraj) of RAsija and then after constantly atticking by northerns and germans/franks we move to Ukraine. In 8th century after Christ, Poland is occupied by Germans and now is "independet state" like Ukraina :D Peace brothers, dont fight, we have a same blood u madafakerz.

The thing about Slavic languages is that they share a lot of similar or identical sounding words however these "same" words have COMPLETELY different meaning depending on the language. Which can lead to some hilarious/awkward moments.
You should’ve also invited someone from Czechia, I believe it would be quite funny, because in Czech language there are some words that in Ukrainian or Polish have not just weird, but sometimes really indecent and completely different meanings

It’s a great video. I think when it comes to Slavic languages, we must be aware of so called “false friends of a translator”. When it sounds similar, but has different meanings. Phonetics and pronunciation matter a lot when it goes about Polish and Ukrainian. I also think the age and backgrounds of the participants affect a lot how they understand each other. If you could give just a little bit of context and know how to read, it would be the way easier. For example as a Ukrainian speaker I can understand a lot of Polish 80% and Slovak language. With the Check if I read it slowly, I understand quite a lot, but when they speak it might be hard. Please make more videos like that with Ukrainian language! Thank you 😊
Yeah, czech language has a lot of german influence. When I was younger I couldn't understand any slavic language other than czech, but when I started to interact more with Slovaks then it was suddenly possible.

5:33 That's a common misconception that people believe but not true and the difference would be even more drastic if bolsheviks didn't try to bring ukrainian closer to russian. There's a lot of old ukrainian words that are hard to understand because they were band and only similar words were left and a lot of words that we pronounce today were pronounced differently. Like letter "F" is foreigne and every word with this letter originaly was supposed to have letter "T" but bolsheviks repressions changed it and many other stuff. But there's only one language in the world that is almost identical to ukrainian is belarusian.
Ukrainian language seems like it is basically Russian but heavily influenced by Polish, which makes sense given the fact that Polish-Lithuanian kingdom was a powerful hegemon in that part of Europe for centuries.
@@aaaaannnnnn To me it does sound like Russian, heavily influenced by Polish. It does even make sense, because Ukrainian language is spoken in geographic area between Russia and Poland, not ro say how epicenter of Ukrainian standard originated in Western Ukraine, which was, for centuries under Polish rule. The more you go to the East, the less (clean) standard Ukrainian is spoken in everyday life, by ordinary people. More than half of population of Ukraine, especially on the East, got familiar with Ukrainian in school, not at home.
yeah!!! you're absolutely right. I'm glad that somebody has mentioned it. russia did everything to make our language closer to theirs, not even mentioning making terrible and ruthless things to Ukrainians to make us speak russian instead of Ukrainian.
As a Serb, I understand almost everything. The reason Draga didn't get some of them is actually due to knowing potentially too many languages. I think she knows English, Serbian and German, so when Rossi spoke in Ukranian, the stressed syllables were different than they would be in Serbian, so Draga couldn't hear the word KUHINJA. Etc. When you know many languages, sometimes things meld together and sound similar, and there is more overthinking that occurs due to having heard similar sounds and enunciations across different languages. Loved this video so much!
A good point here. Sometimes languages just merge together in the person's head. It happened to me while I was actively trying to remember 4 languages. I discovered that flawless switching is hard, and all aspects of general phonetics suffered the most in my case.
For me (Serb), I have to hear each word separately and *sometimes* I can understand written language easier than spoken. Sometimes both together helps, etc. I find knowing more than one language actually helps me understand better. In Serbian, for example, we have lots of German, French, and Turkish influence. So knowing some French helped me understand certain Serbian words I didn't hear growing up etc.
really? as a ukrainian I coudn't understand what does she mean, she made a lot of mistakes. book is "knyga" not "pidruchnyk", it's a bit different, also defenition of zebra is wrong, because she said it is a road sign, but it is a markup on the road and not sign. also in the other videos she couldn't guess what is river, but the pronuntiation is the same,I feel she is not the smartest person among them 😁
In terms of vocabulary, the Ukrainian language is the closest to Belarusian (16% of difference), and the Russian language to Bulgarian (27% of difference). After Belarusian, Ukrainian is also closer to Slovak, Polish, and Czech than to Russian - 38% of Ukrainian vocabulary is different from Russian.(Wikipedia)
@@m1lst3r89 Only if you take Surzhyk, a mix of Russian and Ukrainian, for actual Ukrainian. If you take pure Ukrainian from western and central Ukraine then Russians understand much less of it than the Poles do for example
These methods are not objective or universal. The fact is that Ukrainian, Belarusian and Russian belong to the same East Slavic language subgroup, which means that they were once one language, and this speaks for itself
I came to Poland after the Russian invasion of Ukraine and what shocked me the most that all polish people that didn’t speak English told me “oh just speak Ukrainian, I will understand” Whereas my russian relatives can’t do the same, they are totally clueless, which shows actually how different Ukraine and Russia is
@user-gu7so8hq7c yes, it was. Isn't the video about similarities between Slavic languages? I'm a Slovak. I've met some Ukrainians that didn't speak English. I doubt they'd come here if it wasn't for the war. I hadn't come across any East Slavic language before. It shocked me that I could understand Ukrainian pretty well.
ну слова, которые говорила девушка, очень даже похожи на русский. даже больше, чем языки остальных участниц. я тоже читала, что польский ближе к украинскому, но, мне кажется, мы не "totally clueless".
Well done girls! It was interesting to find out about the differences in Slavic languages. You just need to clarify a little with the first word Книга (book). The word КНИГА also exists in the Ukrainian language. And the word Підручник (textbook) is a book also, only that has a different purpose of use. Підручник (textbook) - a book used as a standard work for the study of a particular subject.
It is the same in Serbian (Croatian): priručnik which is a book that you read instructions from usually (or learn) and it is coming from phrase " pri ruci" , that means to have it by hand ( as in have it close to you to read when needed)
My Ukrainian little sister chose the most difficult things for presentation my language. It was more interesting but people in studio where misunderstood . I think Ukrainian is not so hard to understand like everybody thinks. I think if I go to Serbia or Slovenia I would find right words to explain everything I need. In Poland I was thousands times and it wasn't a problem.

If I hadn't learned the word charapaha (meaning turtle/tortoise - I don't know if there's a differentiation in Ukrainian) from Belorussian (which is VERY closely related to Ukrainian, I'd never know what it means (a Pole here). But then, when I think about it for a moment, I recall that the latin word for a turtle or tortoise's shell is carapax, which is clearly its etymological origin.

I was not able to guess черепаха (cherepakha) - turtle, but the word sounded very familiar to me. Now I know why - there's a similar word in English - carapace (turtle shell), therefore not a good example of a Slavic word as it comes from Latin. I was also thrown off by the word підручник - textbook, in Czech, we have a similar word - područník, but it means "armrest". The rest was easy, and I am Czech.
Haha područnik as armrest makes so much sense, that I couldn't remember its Polish translation for 5 minutes xD I was thinking podręcznik knowing it's not that but your Czech word pushed away my native word 😂 It's oparcie btw. We also have podorędzie and pod ręką meaning something is close by.
@@valyad7228 Quite interesting, that original Old East Slavic желвь was discontinued in Ukrainian and Russian, and it was replaced by черепаха, while "żółw" (in Polish), "želva" (in Czech) and "желка" (Macedonian) remained.
I love how close Slavic languages are to each other. I'm Polish. At one work I had many Ukrainian customers that were used to speaking to Poles so they'd attempt speaking Polish to me, though whatever words they didn't know, we eventually figured out anyway so we could communicate well. I loved how they pronounce Polish words. Ukrainian Polish sounds... I don't know how to say it. Cute? Every word sounds like a diminutive. It's an improvement.
Yeah, but Poles only understand Czech, Slovak and to some extend Ukrainian and Belarusian but Russian and South Slavic languages for Poles is nearly impossible, especially Bulgarian. Of course you can still understand Bulgarian but it will be a lot of challenge and struggle till you understand what is said.
In Slovenian, the closest word that I know of to "підручник" is "rokovnik" which roughly translates to notebook. "Žolta" is also an archaic word for yellow, and "zlata" is the modern word for gold (as in the colour), so a connection exists there too. "Črepaha" is the name for a certain species of turtle, but as turtles don't really live in Slovenia it's not very well known. "Malanje" is a dialectal word taken from German meaning "painting" (as in the verb) but it's being used less and less, at least in my experience.
Підручник cannot be understandable (out of a sentence or in not very and very clear sentence), because there is many things may be under arms or hands but just one of them is "підручник" - the book for studying (textbook). And changing "o" to "i", especially in a words or even in morphemes which consists three letters (generally - preffixes) makes such Ukrainian words not understood or hardly understood (limitedly understood) for all Slavs, including even Belarusians without enough exposure to Ukrainian.
The counting system between these countries actually isn't the same. In Slovenian we use the German way and say enaindvajset (1 + 20) for twenty-one, where for example in Serbian it is dvadeset jedan (20 + 1).
The reason why Slavic languages are much closer to each other than all other language families is that they separated from each other very late and the number of loanwords is very few.
i feel latin languages are even closer though - dunno if it's becouse they are more exposed to eachother languages or what, but they seems to have way easier time talking with eachother than slavic people between themselves
@@lissandrafreljord7913 I think Ottoman Empire put a clear mark "down there", but still, we have many similarities, we are able to understand each other to some extent.
@@PUARockstar True, Russian and Polish are definately VERY different.

Насправді між цими мовами є багато схожих слів, але є і відмінності. Будучи у Словаччині я переважно розмовляла українською, а зі мною говорили словацькою - ми майже чудово один одного розуміли. Схожа ситуація була у Польщі.
In my opinion as Ukrainian, the farthest of 3 languages shown is Slovenian because there is only a plenty of similarities. Serbian is closer, but still not so similar. According to studies, Polish has 60% similarity with Ukrainian, although we were enemies in the past.
The closest to Ukrainian is Polish,Czech,Slovak,Belorusian,Russian etc. Not Serbian.. We Serbs have no connections to Ukrainians what so ever. Nor genetic nor lingual, maybe some words are same here and there. But what languages in the world doesn't have some form of similarities?

Я как русскоязычный казах - всех благополучно понял, как не странно, но большая часть настолько была похоже на русский язык, что я даже был в ступоре, "черепаха" не лучший выбор слова, в украинском по-моему мнению - есть слова, которые исторически роднее!
??? "Історічєскі роднєє"? Шановний, про що ви? Слово "черепаха" лишилося в українській з праслов'янської. Так само як слова "череп" та "черепок". Куди вже історично рідніше?

If you invited Belarusian, you'd be surprised how similar the languages are) Me and my Ukrainian friends never spoke Russian when we talked to each other - we used Belarusian and Ukrainian instead
I'm a flight attendant so I had contact with many different languages and for sure with all european. So I was able to communicate in polish with people from Czech Republic and Slovakia which wasn't a surprise for me. However, I was surprised how similar the Serbian language is to Polish. So I would definitelly say that those three are the most similar. But in Lithuania there is A LOT of people who speaks in polish which was a total surprise to me at first because languages are completelly different but when I thought about it later it makes sense considering polish-lithuanian history.
I was born and grew up in Kyiv, and learned both Ukrainian and Russian as my native languages because both were spoken in my family. Only after the russian invasion, when I was forced to leave home with my three kids, I could actually grasp how different Ukrainian and Russian are. When we came to Poland, I could understand 50% of spoked language from the very start BECAUSE I speak Ukrainian - and it turned to 80% by the end of the week we spent in Krakow. Then in Ireland, where we stay for now, every time when I meet a Polish person, it's so endearing, like meeting someone from my country - and I always ask them to speak Polish to me if that's ok with them. Also, a couple of years ago one of my colleagues from Bielorussia sent me a recording of her granny speaking "an olden Bielorussian dialect", which was a 100% Ukrainian, as my own granny spoke it.

Poland(Poljsha) is founded in 8th century before Christ as 3rd Serbian Kingdom and protection (by side/on side/u kraj) of RAsija and then after constantly atticking by northerns and germans/franks we move to Ukraine. In 8th century after Christ, Poland is occupied by Germans and now is "independet state" like Ukraina :D Peace brothers, dont fight, we have a same blood u madafakerz.

The thing about Slavic languages is that they share a lot of similar or identical sounding words
however
these "same" words have COMPLETELY different meaning depending on the language.
Which can lead to some hilarious/awkward moments.

Cuisine comes out from the kitchen, right?
We have "куховаріння" as well, but rarely used, which stands for "cuisine".

It’s a great video. I think when it comes to Slavic languages, we must be aware of so called “false friends of a translator”. When it sounds similar, but has different meanings. Phonetics and pronunciation matter a lot when it goes about Polish and Ukrainian. I also think the age and backgrounds of the participants affect a lot how they understand each other. If you could give just a little bit of context and know how to read, it would be the way easier. For example as a Ukrainian speaker I can understand a lot of Polish 80% and Slovak language. With the Check if I read it slowly, I understand quite a lot, but when they speak it might be hard. Please make more videos like that with Ukrainian language! Thank you 😊
Yeah, czech language has a lot of german influence. When I was younger I couldn't understand any slavic language other than czech, but when I started to interact more with Slovaks then it was suddenly possible.

5:33 That's a common misconception that people believe but not true and the difference would be even more drastic if bolsheviks didn't try to bring ukrainian closer to russian. There's a lot of old ukrainian words that are hard to understand because they were band and only similar words were left and a lot of words that we pronounce today were pronounced differently. Like letter "F" is foreigne and every word with this letter originaly was supposed to have letter "T" but bolsheviks repressions changed it and many other stuff. But there's only one language in the world that is almost identical to ukrainian is belarusian.
Ukraine had russification from one side and polanisation from the other many times
Ukrainian language seems like it is basically Russian but heavily influenced by Polish, which makes sense given the fact that Polish-Lithuanian kingdom was a powerful hegemon in that part of Europe for centuries.
@@brankoprosic5852Ukrainian doesn’t sound like russian at all. We just have some similar words in those two languages but the’re not the same
@@aaaaannnnnn To me it does sound like Russian, heavily influenced by Polish. It does even make sense, because Ukrainian language is spoken in geographic area between Russia and Poland, not ro say how epicenter of Ukrainian standard originated in Western Ukraine, which was, for centuries under Polish rule. The more you go to the East, the less (clean) standard Ukrainian is spoken in everyday life, by ordinary people. More than half of population of Ukraine, especially on the East, got familiar with Ukrainian in school, not at home.
yeah!!! you're absolutely right. I'm glad that somebody has mentioned it. russia did everything to make our language closer to theirs, not even mentioning making terrible and ruthless things to Ukrainians to make us speak russian instead of Ukrainian.
As a Serb, I understand almost everything. The reason Draga didn't get some of them is actually due to knowing potentially too many languages. I think she knows English, Serbian and German, so when Rossi spoke in Ukranian, the stressed syllables were different than they would be in Serbian, so Draga couldn't hear the word KUHINJA. Etc. When you know many languages, sometimes things meld together and sound similar, and there is more overthinking that occurs due to having heard similar sounds and enunciations across different languages. Loved this video so much!
A good point here. Sometimes languages just merge together in the person's head. It happened to me while I was actively trying to remember 4 languages. I discovered that flawless switching is hard, and all aspects of general phonetics suffered the most in my case.
Several factors too when you're doing it live. Nevertheless I like her attitude a lot 😁
For me (Serb), I have to hear each word separately and *sometimes* I can understand written language easier than spoken. Sometimes both together helps, etc. I find knowing more than one language actually helps me understand better. In Serbian, for example, we have lots of German, French, and Turkish influence. So knowing some French helped me understand certain Serbian words I didn't hear growing up etc.
Im Polish and I understood 100% what the Ukrainian girl said
So....How's poland????.....in 3-4 months later I will be there😅😅

In terms of vocabulary, the Ukrainian language is the closest to Belarusian (16% of difference), and the Russian language to Bulgarian (27% of difference). After Belarusian, Ukrainian is also closer to Slovak, Polish, and Czech than to Russian - 38% of Ukrainian vocabulary is different from Russian.(Wikipedia)
Some says similarity to Belarusian is 70 % , and to Russian only 25 %.
@@alexzavr8340 Belarusian and Russian are 90 percent similar.
@@m1lst3r89 Only if you take Surzhyk, a mix of Russian and Ukrainian, for actual Ukrainian. If you take pure Ukrainian from western and central Ukraine then Russians understand much less of it than the Poles do for example
These methods are not objective or universal. The fact is that Ukrainian, Belarusian and Russian belong to the same East Slavic language subgroup, which means that they were once one language, and this speaks for itself
Basically, Ukrainian and Belarussian are Russian grammar with Polish words.
So happy to see Rosina ❤🎉
I came to Poland after the Russian invasion of Ukraine and what shocked me the most that all polish people that didn’t speak English told me “oh just speak Ukrainian, I will understand”
Whereas my russian relatives can’t do the same, they are totally clueless, which shows actually how different Ukraine and Russia is
was that the topic of the video?
@user-gu7so8hq7c yes, it was. Isn't the video about similarities between Slavic languages? I'm a Slovak. I've met some Ukrainians that didn't speak English. I doubt they'd come here if it wasn't for the war. I hadn't come across any East Slavic language before. It shocked me that I could understand Ukrainian pretty well.

Yup yup yup. But I also heard if you know Russian it's easy to learn Ukrainian
Well done girls! It was interesting to find out about the differences in Slavic languages. You just need to clarify a little with the first word Книга (book). The word КНИГА also exists in the Ukrainian language. And the word Підручник (textbook) is a book also, only that has a different purpose of use. Підручник (textbook) - a book used as a standard work for the study of a particular subject.
что интересно, в польском есть очень похожее слово, означающее то же самое, что и украинский пiдручник -- podręcznik (подрЕнчнiк)
It also exist similar word in slovenian "priročnik" and it means book with manuals
they wrote книга do I was confused why it was pronounced so wierdly
It is the same in Serbian (Croatian): priručnik which is a book that you read instructions from usually (or learn) and it is coming from phrase " pri ruci" , that means to have it by hand ( as in have it close to you to read when needed)

I was not able to guess черепаха (cherepakha) - turtle, but the word sounded very familiar to me. Now I know why - there's a similar word in English - carapace (turtle shell), therefore not a good example of a Slavic word as it comes from Latin. I was also thrown off by the word підручник - textbook, in Czech, we have a similar word - područník, but it means "armrest". The rest was easy, and I am Czech.
No, "cherepaha" has the same root with "cherep" (scull in English), cause turtle shell is scull-like

I love how close Slavic languages are to each other. I'm Polish.

I loved how they pronounce Polish words. Ukrainian Polish sounds... I don't know how to say it. Cute? Every word sounds like a diminutive. It's an improvement.
Yeah, but Poles only understand Czech, Slovak and to some extend Ukrainian and Belarusian but Russian and South Slavic languages for Poles is nearly impossible, especially Bulgarian. Of course you can still understand Bulgarian but it will be a lot of challenge and struggle till you understand what is said.

Подивилась етимологію слова черепаха. Виявляється, певний час в Україні також називали цю тварину желв. Потім змінили на «черепаха»)))
In Slovenian, the closest word that I know of to "підручник" is "rokovnik" which roughly translates to notebook. "Žolta" is also an archaic word for yellow, and "zlata" is the modern word for gold (as in the colour), so a connection exists there too. "Črepaha" is the name for a certain species of turtle, but as turtles don't really live in Slovenia it's not very well known. "Malanje" is a dialectal word taken from German meaning "painting" (as in the verb) but it's being used less and less, at least in my experience.
Ukrainian and Polish are most similar to each other
I can speak Russian as my second language, so I understood 65-70% of what they said😮
It's not surprised, cause Russian is Slavic too, but you know because of war it's ignored, I guess

I've been studying Ukrainian for one year and I understood a lot of it, more than I expected.
It's truly an amazing language 🇮🇹❤️🇺🇦
We do have a similar word in polish it’s “podręcznik” which is a book designed for students
Actually підручник is the book we use for studying. But book is книга on the whole
''Подръчник'' makes more sense as armrest, but it's still understandable.
And it's still a book)
It is priručnik on Serbian 😊
@@goranjovic3174 In Bulgarian is ''наръчник'' - ''подръчник'' is armrest.
Підручник cannot be understandable (out of a sentence or in not very and very clear sentence), because there is many things may be under arms or hands but just one of them is "підручник" - the book for studying (textbook).
And changing "o" to "i", especially in a words or even in morphemes which consists three letters (generally - preffixes) makes such Ukrainian words not understood or hardly understood (limitedly understood) for all Slavs, including even Belarusians without enough exposure to Ukrainian.
The counting system between these countries actually isn't the same. In Slovenian we use the German way and say enaindvajset (1 + 20) for twenty-one, where for example in Serbian it is dvadeset jedan (20 + 1).
Wow, really!? Ty for this information, i thought it is only german feature.
This word "enain",this particle reminds me cimbric and tirolese
Small Ukrainian dialects in mountains also count like that , but that is disappearing.
The reason why Slavic languages are much closer to each other than all other language families is that they separated from each other very late and the number of loanwords is very few.
I heard Polish and Bulgarian are the farthest apart of any Slavic language.
i feel latin languages are even closer though - dunno if it's becouse they are more exposed to eachother languages or what, but they seems to have way easier time talking with eachother than slavic people between themselves

In my opinion as Ukrainian, the farthest of 3 languages shown is Slovenian because there is only a plenty of similarities. Serbian is closer, but still not so similar. According to studies, Polish has 60% similarity with Ukrainian, although we were enemies in the past.
The closest to Ukrainian is Polish,Czech,Slovak,Belorusian,Russian etc. Not Serbian.. We Serbs have no connections to Ukrainians what so ever. Nor genetic nor lingual, maybe some words are same here and there. But what languages in the world doesn't have some form of similarities?

i am from ukrainian and your video is great
I was born and grew up in Kyiv, and learned both Ukrainian and Russian as my native languages because both were spoken in my family. Only after the russian invasion, when I was forced to leave home with my three kids, I could actually grasp how different Ukrainian and Russian are. When we came to Poland, I could understand 50% of spoked language from the very start BECAUSE I speak Ukrainian - and it turned to 80% by the end of the week we spent in Krakow. Then in Ireland, where we stay for now, every time when I meet a Polish person, it's so endearing, like meeting someone from my country - and I always ask them to speak Polish to me if that's ok with them. Also, a couple of years ago one of my colleagues from Bielorussia sent me a recording of her granny speaking "an olden Bielorussian dialect", which was a 100% Ukrainian, as my own granny spoke it. That was so fun, she couldn't believe me when I told her that!

Не соврёшь- не проживёшь)) только я не иностранец и прекрасно понимаю почему с западной Украины люди уезжают в другие страны прикрываясь войной , потому что страна бедная и без перспектив.
greetings to my family,, old Slavs and all good people...
As a ukrainian person, this content makes my brain feel good
hi banderra!
@@fantinilukaszUh, hello? Did you not take your medicines again? Not every Ukrainian is like Bandera. You seem to think that all Ukrainians think like this, but in reality it's just to generalize Ukrainians. Why Slavic people generlize their neighbors?
@@fantinilukasz What? Are you on drugs? Not every Ukrainian is like Bandera. That's like saying that every Serb is like Milosević.
Русским и белорусам большой привет!
As a Latino, I will confess I fell in love with all of them 😂😂😂
The Tiger in africa reminds me of Monty Pythons meaning of life.
A Polish woman called Anya means mother in Hungarian. The Serbian lady called Draga, Drága in Hungarian means expensive.
Anya so popular name,in Poland,Ukraine, Germany, Dutch and full will be Anna
Drága in Hungarian don't means expensive I think, it means Dear
@@maxIimI101 Her name in Serbian would mean "dear"
In Polish "Drogi" means "Expensive" and "Dear", but "Droga" means Road
@@maxIimI101 It does. But it's also mean Dear.
Draga tell her that she hasn't tried Serbian🇷🇸 food and that's why she likes Korean🇰🇷, but when she tries our Ćevape or Karađorđevu has to change mind!!! Greeting from Serbia 🇷🇸🤌👌🤌🇷🇸👍👏👏
Serb here. I got almost all. I speak Russian. It helped
Love Serbia from Russia 🇷🇺
Sssh, you can't say that... Because Ukrainians will come and say the reasons why it is "not similar" :D
@@neins the same when someone comes and says that he got everything in Serbian, bc he knows Croatian)
the most similar to Ukrainian is Belarusian, followed by Polish, Slovak, and then Russian
Wikipedia says only Russian and Belarusian
wrong lol
@@alexbayer2365Wrong
In terms of vocabulary, the Ukrainian language is the closest to Belarusian (16% of difference), and the Russian language to Bulgarian (27% of difference). After Belarusian, Ukrainian is also closer to Slovak, Polish, and Czech than to Russian - 38% of Ukrainian vocabulary is different from Russian.(Wikipedia)
@@Maxukr31 These methods are not objective or universal. The fact is that Ukrainian, Belarusian and Russian belong to the same East Slavic language subgroup, which means that they were once one language, and this speaks for itself
Czerepacha - nazwisko Czerepak z Rancza ma zapewne podobny źródłosów.. pS dziewczyny jesteście piękne Słowianki, uwielbiam Annę ale Rosina zabija mnie swoim urokiem!
Well, of course I understood everything 😆
Cause I am half Polish half Ukrainian, so I know these languages.
It was really interesting!
Plz make such video also with Czech and Russian!
Russians are not desirable, they are aggressors.
ruzxia is terrorist state, why on earth the authors of this video would promote fascist state with fascist language???
Russia go to hell.
If they will make video with Russian they won't be able to invite girls from Ukraine and Belarus because they understand 120% Russian. Also Serbians and Bulgarians would be to easy because many of them actually speak Russian and study it in school
