For me, as a Serbian, funny part was: How much time you need from Dimitrovgrad to Sofia? Answer in Polish: dwie godziny, which means 'two years' in Serbian :)
In Bulgarian it means "two years" too lol, but I don't know why she didn't react surprised. I mean even by foot, Dimitrovgrad to Sofia is probably at a couple of days walking distance at most XD
starton4 You nailed.I speak Polish.
It is the same in Bulgarian two years.
In Polish year singular form is "rok" and plural form is "lata" but in most of other slavic languages its some form of "god" :) From what I as Polish person found out that if You learn Russian all the other languages in our family get easy to figure out.

This is amazing! I understand both languages 100%. I'm from Lithuania, but I have worked with many polish people and learned polish. My husband is bulgarian and I started to speak in 3 months, when I was in Bulgaria. Technically if you know one slavic language it is easy to pick up another one. I did know russian before I learned another 2 languages bulgarian and polish. In total I speak 5 languages 🙈😅

I'm Italian and I studied Russian....Bulgarian is definitely more understandeble for me than Polish.
Are you in plovdiv
Ангел Иванов Plovdiv is not in Italy . Verona and Milano is in Italy
just guessing -poland - because of closer location to the west ended up with more western words than other Slavs .A Slavic tribe of Lusitzi who lived / live/ even further west than Poles (in East Germany) became even more westernized/germanized/ For such common words as father they used German 'vater' All Slavs understand much of each other language but much less Lusitzis'. Their language has become more corrupt with non slavic terms due to their geographic location..
But Polish grammar is very similar to Russian. There are no big differences. Bulgarian grammar is very different.
But Russian is Bulgarian is same all most

Love Bulgaria from Poland !!!
As a Russian native speaker, it was quite easy to understand both Polish and Bulgarian, even when these two people experienced mutual unintelligibility. The reason behind this it that Russian language experienced large influence from Bulgarian and Serbian through religious texts usage.
ПРАВДА!
no, there is 0 Serbian influence actually. Serbian was also influenced by Bulgarian.
only from bulgarian. there was no serbia at the time。14th century again bulgarians escaped to kiev from the turks.
Bulgarians never spoke Slavic language at all before 9th or 10th century. Serbs are speaking Slavic for more than 14 centuries on the other side.
So the only influence in Russian can be from Serbian language. Bulgarian influence doesn't exist at all.
@@nevis9026 You are a brainwashed Serb... The official language of Bulgaria was Slavic in 800 AD - NOW, while it was a second language between 700-800 AD. Serbs didn't exist as a nation or empire until 1200 AD by Tsar Dushan... who was himself half Bulgarian, and he married into Bulgarian royalty (Princess Helena of Smilets) and this is how he got powerful enough to take over parts of the Bulgarian empire for about 20 years... which is nothing compared to almost 500 years between the first and second Bulgarian empires. Serbs were always a vassal to the Byzantines and Bulgarians.
Also your capital city "BELOGRAD" was named by Tsar Boris I of the Bulgarian Empire.... and this was a Bulgarian town before it was your capital.
Serbians spoke the same language as Bulgarians in 800 AD - 1300 AD - later your language evolved away from OCS (Old Bulgarian) and you also adopted LATIN alphabet....
Also the Russians know about Bulgarian influence... this is in their history books where Serbia is rarely mentioned. Sorry to burst your bubble.
Fun fact!
The Bulgarian word "Разбира/razbiram/" sounds very similar to the Polish word "rozbieram".
The Bulgarian word (razbiram) means - to understand"
And the Polish word (rozbieram) means - to undress.
This similarity can cause very awkward situations! I know that from my own experience!
«Ne razobrat'» is also commonly used in Russian: «razbor» means «disection», «disassembly», «deconstruction» or «taking apart», thereby «ne razobrat'» is synonymous with unintelligibility.
In Polish language the verb -''rozbierać''> Ja rozbieram się =I dress out >>> but in the second meaning of this Polish verb : '' rozbierać''=Ja rozbieram to na drobne (phrase) it means = I understand it in details . After all if you can catch Slavonic words there are similar in sense .
When a woman undresses, that's when I understand her.
@@pplayer666 In Bulgarian we also have "razbor" - meaning "a look at the parts/details". In this sense, if I am not mistaken, "razbirane" is like being able to "take it apart", to know the parts/details. But it seems with practice both could teach their language to the other. And, yeah, knowing English helps.
Balkan Forestboy Разбор не е българска дума, а е русизъм в българския език.
this was so funny for me , because i'm half polish and half bulgarian :)

Thank you! We're flattered 😉🇵🇱
The video was great, I liked the idea. :) I understood everything spoken in Bulgarian, which was easier for me (than for many Serbs) since I am from Southern Serbia. On the other hand, I understood around 50-60% of conversation in Polish. The most confusing thing I found in Polish is that some words that have only "d" sound in the South Slavic languages, becomes "dz" ("џ" or "dž" written in South Slavic languages), which made it difficult to understand.
Anyway, thank you for these videos, you have just got a new subscriber. Keep up the good work. :D

I'm Bulgarian and I'm glad to hear slav conversation 😄❤🇧🇬🇵🇱
Nadia is very positive person :)
I’m Russian and I understand them both (even if they don’t understand each other:))! It’s amazing
As a non slav that has studied various Slavic languages, I must say that southern Slavic languages such as Serbian and Bulgarian have a much clearer sound and pronunciation as opposed to Slavic languages like Polish and Czech.
As Bulgarian myself, I've always felt that that's the case. Also you'll notice that in Bulgarian other than "й", there isn't a single letter that has weird symbols around it, unlike in many other slavic alphabets.
Martin Staykov and best part, no case system. Радвам се да го чуя! Аз много обичам България. Поздрави от слънчева южна Калифорния.
Yep, who needs cases. And just a small correction -- should be "слънчева". Otherwise very good. Cheers.
Martin Staykov благодаря
I agree only in case of Czech. It really sounds like a solid blablabla. But Polish is well recognizable for me.
I am Ukrainian who speaks: Ukrainian, Russian, Czech and English. I could understand 95% of Bulgarian and 95% Polish. The words the Polish guy could not understand was identical to Russian) and I was like "Fuck yeah") I have an advantage)
Words like : художник-khudozhnik(painter), говорить-hovorit(to speak), работать- rabotat(to work), преподавать- prepodavat (to teach). Час-čas-година (in Russian it is one hour, hodina - is an hour in Ukrainian, in Czech čas is Time, and in Bulgarian it is one hour as well as in Russian)
In order to understand Bulgarian I had to refer to my knowledge of Russian and Czech(less).
To understand Polish I refer to Ukrainian, Czech (less).
it would be cool to make conference conversation beetween all Slavs :D
Awesome idea!
@ecolinguist please do!
Slav squat conference
Polish may be grammatically closer to Russian but Bulgarian sounds much more Russian and it seems to share more similar words with Russian.
polish gramatically close to russian ??? u mad ?? totally different languages , german or dutch or any germanics languages is 10 times tore similar to english than polish to rusian.
Yes but Poles and Russian have 7 and 6 cases, Bulgarian zero.
Maksim Lipecki bulgarian has 3 cases
as a bulgarian for me russian sounds nothing like it and it closer to polish because both of them sound soft
@@stat251097 If you are from Western Bulgaria where people are talking hard as in most slavic languages, maybe, but most bulgarians speak soft, unlike russian, serbian, polish, etc...

I am amazed 😲
Wonderful video! I am from Bulgaria and I heartily congratulate brotherly Poland and brotherly Ukraine! Here are the words that are common to Bulgarians and Poles:
dobry dzień-добър ден/dobur den, dobry-добре/dobre, jablka-ябълка/jabulka, slodkie-сладки/sladki, torba-торба/torba, siedem-седем/sedem,
czesto-често/chesto, daleko-далече/daleche, pomoc-помощ/pomosht, usta-уста/usta, osoba-особа/osoba, czwartek- четвъртък/chetvurtuk,
zapamietac-запомням/zapomnjam, skok-скок/skok, niebo-небе/nebe.
Защо трябва да романизираме българският, а пък не правим това с полския? Беларуският е буквално полски, написан на кирилица.
Забрави да споменеш, че и ние имаме думата "далеко," както и "небо."
Ето как полски в кирилица би изглеждал с мой вариант:
добры дзєњ, яблка, слёдкє, сєдем, помоц, чвартек, запамєтачь, нєбо.
Как бы нас политиканы не разделяли в нас много общего.
I'm Russian and understand almost everything that said Nadya:) and a bit less in Polish
Which part of Russia? Did you have any contact with Bulgarian language before?
Modern Russian is the Old Bulgarian language.
@@ingwyingwarrer1691 well, you're not completely right. We've borrowed A LOT of words from Old Church Slavonic which was basically a dialect of old bulgarian. But the grammar is much more similar to polish. Pronounciation is so similar just because west slavic languages differ more in general.
An example:
English: you can speak
Russian: можешь говорить
Bulgarian: можеш да говориш
Polish: możesz mówić
We have the infinitive form of verb after "you can" in Polish and Russian unlike Bulgarian, but the word for "speak" is the same in Russian and Bulgarian unlike Polish
Me (as a Russian) am especiallyb surprised by her Bulgarian accent. Her accent is Russian by 80-90%, it sounds sooo Russian, and only the words make me realize - Bulgarian is am entirely different language. Very amusing...
Wow! Bulgarian is so similar to Russian! Church Slavonic must have influenced Russian a lot. And it's so pleasant to understand both of you. :)
Норберту памятник надо поставить ... Перед такой мордашкой я бы забыл навсегда свой великий и могучий ...
I am from Russia and I was absolutely able to understand everything in this conversation. Referring to the verbs, Bulgarian language seems closer to Russian but in means of the context I could understand Polish perfectly as well. Probably because of my experience of listening to Polish music and having lots of conversations with the Polish. Anyway in such common talks many of the languages of the Slavic group are quite possible for understanding. It seems it is all about the different borrowed words which appeared in our languages in different times and from different sources. Quite an interesting channel I’ll be subscribed and following your news then 😊
очарователна момиче, влюбен в нея
По-правилно е да се каже: ,,Очарователно момиче, влюбен съм в нея."
She is good!! She could understand almost everything.
I understood maybe one or three words in bulgarian language, but I'm Very happy that I could understand everything in polish.
I'm Korean and I know only basic expressions in Polish and Russian. So actually I understood under 5% of the video but I still found it interesting!
She speaks Bulgarian. :) Russian and Bulgarian are just very similar so it's normal for non slavic people to confuse them.
Malujesz penslem i farbami? - Malst du mit Pinseln und Farben?
Maybe you should do the challange with a German person :D
Polish and Czech have borrowed a lot from German but the base is different
NPC 7745 Russian went through the same “retrofit” in the 17th century
With German it will be cheating because he know English :)
Sie geht nach Hause. 'She is going home.' - Ona idzie do domu.
Sie backte den Kuchen. 'She baked the cake.' - (Ona) upiekła ciasto.
Ich liebe grüne Äpfel. 'I love green apples.' - (Ja) kocham zielone jabłka. etc.
We have a lot Old High German words connected with the construction of towns, e.g. murarz - die Maurer, mur - die Mauer, rynek ('market') from der Ring, farba - die Farbe, pędzel - die Pinsel. With church (via Czech), e.g. kościół 'church' from kastel 'castle, fort', chrzest 'baptism' from Krist 'Christ'
And before wars (for many years) German was very important language in the science.
Masz rację. To jest polskie zdanie ze czteroma słowami i trzy słowa pochodzą z niemieckiego.
*pędzlem
For me, as a Russian native speaker Bulgarian was much easier to understand
You'd may think Polish is closer to Russian, but Bulgarian actually mostly is.
This is because both Russia and Bulgaria used Old Church Slavonic, and got a lot of common Vocab via the language.
I'm bulgarian, who speaks both russian and polish, and to be fair either languages are close to each other. Polish phonetically sounds different, but in depth is very common both to bulgarian and russian.
I am bulgarian and polish/czech languages have always been hardest for me to understand (from the slavic family).
Which one is the easiest to understand for you?
well, macedonian because it's bassicaly the same language :D i can also understand like 70-80 % serbian if it's spoken slowly and like from 60 to 80 % Russian-Ukrainian it depends
man i am russian and the most understandable languages for me are bulgarian and serbian, and the hardest are polish/czech too :)
@@racing8884 It really depends on what words you know. Most of us know some words from other foreign languages. I'm Polish and I know some from Russian, some from Czech. Some of the words you know from the context. I understood that in Bulgarian "don't understand" (nie rozumiem in Polish) is "nie rozbieram" (written in PL transcription of course) although in Polish "nie rozbieram (się)" means "I am not underssing" lol.
@Altair65, чак пък коренно различен Украинският от Руския... Силно казано :) Коренно различно могат да бъдат Украинският и Японския да кажем :)
As a Russian, I understood both of them . As it is meantioned before here, many words not clear to the Pole are same in Russian as in Bulgarian - рисовать, художник, картина, преподавать etc. yes , Russian is situated between Southern branch and The Western one , hence we are able to understand them both ( more or less) , for sure it goes to the simple, basic conversion and defiantly about religion .
Don't forget that half the Poland then was a Germanic people (Saxons especially) ,but they decided to be named a Polish during ending of the 1WW it was called a " East Prussian plebiscite 1920" D:..Slava !
These germanic poeple were polish before prussia :)

Bulgarian from this girl sounds so close to Russian in terms of pronunciation, but before that I didn't notice it was similar. Knowing some Ukrainian (I'm Russian) I can mostly understand both.
My advices:
1) do another video with a Russian speaker who actually doesn't know any polish or isn't good at learning languages at all
2) make English subtitles so that non-slavs who are interested in slavic languages could also understand the dialogues.
и мой совет-добавьте третьего славянина,чей язык может служить своеобразным "мостом"
Point 2. - Exactly, it was good but lacking subtitles, especially, that the introduction was already in English, so I assume that it was meant not only for slavic people.
Russian won't be able to understand Polish then.
I'm from Dimitrovgrad too, but not Bulgarian Dimitrovgrad:) It's in Russia, Ulyanovsk oblast

And 'dwa czasy' means 'two times' in Polish:))
In Serbian as well. "Dve godine" or "dvije godine" means two years! "Dva sata" or "dva časa" means two hours. I was totally confuesd about the girl travellling to Sofia for two years, and it's considered close. :D
@@MrDrecun Bulgaria is bigger than Earth :)
As I expected, polish and bulgarian are nearly completely incomprehensive to each other. We Russians would have easier time since we borrowed lots of words from church slavonic (descended from old bulgarian) and bulgarians borrowed a huge amounts of russian words from 18th century onwards. But the Russian grammar is WAY more similar to the polish one.
mihanich. "way more" ? Russian grammar is almost identical with Polish.
+mihanich Ты ошибаешься, польский и болгарский, дальше взаимно понятни языка, просто все это индивидувальное дело человека. Есть такие что не понимают никакого другого языка, а есть такие что поймут. Нельзя генерализировать.
Lechosław yeah it's not identical since we don't have the vocative case and the verb "to be" is only conjugated in 3rd person singular in Russian. Not to mention all the other peculiarities. But overall Russian grammar is definitely similar to the polish one. The same goes for all the east slavic languages.
+mihanich Звательный падеж есть в русском языке, но в очень ограниченной форме, в целом это анхаизм но остался например в выражениях: "Господи!", "Боже", "друже" и так далее.
С "есть" похожее дело например "Aз есмь".
(я есмь, ты еси, он есть, мы есмы, вы есте, они суть)
Pan Adolf я считаю что это уже заимствования из церковнославянского. Тем более форма "азъ" - типично южнославянская, по русски было бы "яз" или просто "я". А русское спряжение "быть" зафиксировано, например, в "хожении за три моря" Афанасия Никитина.
Действительно, русский и болгарский по интонации и произношению очень схожи. Многие болгарские слова на слух на чистом русском без акцента кажутся.
Fun fact, Bulgarian grammar is similar to Northern Russian dialect, north from Moscow.
They also use suffix-articles to/ta/ti etc. to explain words.
As for Ukrainian understood both easily XD. Polish thanks to Ukrainian and Bulgarian thanks to Russian knowledge.
так и у меня-благодаря зачаткам украинского понимаю поляка, а как русскоговорящий-болгарский.
I think there was also a misunderstanding right in the beginning, because when you asked her "jak się czujesz" (how do you feel?) she replied "добре ти чувам" (I can hear you well)... Obviously czuć / чувам are false friends
It's really funny cause I didn't notice it at first. Only when people pointed it out in the comments. :-D Than was a real fun conversation :-D
in Bulgarian it's "Как се чувстваш?" which is pretty close sounding and considering they were on a remote connection the mistake is easy to make.
Wordby Word "чуеш" is a dialectical form of "чуваш" and for feel we say "чувстваш". I thought he asked if the connection is good and if she hears him well as well.
Also in Croatian: čuti - to hear, kako me čuješ - how do you hear me. But čuvstvo - a feeling. I think the key word was 'şie' (se) which could have cleared the misunderstanding :)
@@NN-qv7if It wont cuz in Bulgarian it is "kak se chuvame (čuvame)". In Bulgarian čuvstvo (чувство / chuvstvo) is exactly the same as in Croation.
For me most confusing was "Jak" in bulgarian "як" means strong. So I translate it like "Silno li se chuvame?" ( Do you hear me loud?).

I am Polish and "I don't understand" in Bulgarian sounds funny, because "nie rozbieram (się)" means something like "I'm not undressing" 😆
Rok - Godina
Godzina - Czas
Narzeczona - Bulka 😅

Some of her words phonetically sound like Russian)) Especially when she say "Da", "Yasno" ,"Hudozhnik" etc. And she's so cute!))
In Polish language the word :'' Jasne=Yasne'' means = I can catch it =I understand => in phrase : To jest JASNE (YASNE) dla mnie. Or the word : '' Jasny'' in Polish language means the adjective means : bright=jasny.
You can perfectly write «jasno» to transcribe Russian/Bulgarian «ясно», no need to deign to use the English transcription when it has nothing to do with Slavic orthography... also hudožnik/chudožnik

Да, она красавица.
Сочная)
Ргivет как дела?
😄😄🤣😉
Bulgarian: Ne razbiram (I don't understand)
Polish: Nie rozbieram (się) = I don't undress (myself) 😂
But seriously, every time nasz Norbert says a Polish word that naša Nadja doesn't understand, I want to shout the Serbo-Croatian translation. Because of the Balkan Slavic dialect continuum she'd stand a greater chance of understanding that.
Excellent video thanks for sharing
After watching the video for a second time, I finally realized what the analogue of the Polish word for ''speak'', is in Bulgarian. The infinitive for ''speak'' in Polish is ''mówić''. In Bulgarian there is the word ''мълвя'' [mŭlvya] (inf.) which in Bulgarian means ''to utter, to make a sound with one's voice.''
I speak russian, bulgarian and understand about 90-95% Ukrainian... I think polish is much closer to Ukrainian then to Bulgarian ... Do you agree with me?
I am a bulgarian and yes it is true. I have ukrainian and polish friends they can understand eachother.
Totally mate
Especially western dialects. Probably because those regions used to be polish before WW2
90-95% but you wouldn't say you "speak" it?? I would claim I am fluent in a language of which I know 90-95%😂
@@sebastianelytron8450 when a Russian says that he understands 95% of Ukrainian, it usually means that he had learned 6-7 phrases in Ukrainian and now understands 5% of the language
Bravo i veliki pozdrav iz Hrvatske sve se manje-više dobro razumije!
Pozdrow z Polski też Ciebie rozumiem :D.
Da, neverovatno zar ne, ja sam nekako vise razumeo poljski nego bugarski sto je bas cudno s' obzirom da je Bugarska susedna zemlja Srbiji... fantastican video.
ja razumem srpski i bugarski ali ipak mi je bilo nekako teze razumeti poljski :) pozdrav iz Bugarske !
Ja iz Srbije razbiram Bugarski dobro a od svih slovenskih jezika Poljski najmanje razumem. Manje od 20%. Ruski razumem 50-60%, Slovenski (Slovenia) 70%, Bugarski 80%, Makedonski 90%, Hrvatski 99.9999% :-)
I really like your videos! It can be seen that both of you are quite talented for languages. By the way, I am a Croat with a Polish surname currently living in the Netherlands in a building full of Polish people. :)
In Croatian: Stvarno mi se sviđaju tvoji videi. Može se vidjeti da ste oboje poprilično talentirani za jezike. Usput, ja sam Hrvat s poljskim prezimenom i trenutno živim u Nizozemskoj u zgradi punoj Poljaka. :)
Just want to add something. When i reached the part where they were discussing how it's "speak" in both languages, the girl didn't realised that "muvya" has a bulgarian analogue, which is "mulvya" [мълвя] - means speak as well, оr maybe the right thanslation ist whisper, idk. This word is still used in bulgarian, although it's more likely to be found it in books, poetry etc.
She is so beautiful.
I just found your channel and find these videos very interesting. I wish you would do a video with Polish and Czech. I've seen many times Czech and Polish people have conversations each in his own language (I mean with one speaking Czech and the other responding in Polish) so I think it would work well as a video.
Thanks! Working on it. :)
The word "mluvit" for speak actually exists in Bulgarian - мълвя (m'lvja, conjugated form for I, no infinitive in Bulgarian), but it has the meaning of talking very quietly, when it's a verb. When it's a noun like мълва (m'lva) it means a rumour.
Good point. I suppose there are lots of cognates between bulgarian and polish but the pronunciation differences make them very different to spot.
@@martinkunev9911 Да не говорим и за ,,лъжливите приятели" като например "jaszczurka" е ,,гущер" на полски, докато при нас знаеш какво означава ,,яж чурка," така че трябва да се внимават за тях.
Of course I understood everything Nadia said, but I am starting to understand more and more Polish! (I'm Serbian)
пезос5 super niewiarygodne niesamowite że siè tak rozumiemy nawzajem
Бугарски је сличан македонском, а Срби македонски доста добро разумеју. Плус сам учио руски у школи, па га разумем још боље. Поздрав Украјини из Србије.
Руски има доста речи из старословенског које се користе у српском и бугарском. Слушам ја Океан Ељзи и много речи препознајем и сличност с руским.. :)
Прочетох коментарите и съм сигурен, че имаше Македонски, Сръбски, Украински и май Чешки, от които разбрах 7-8/10 от думите в едно изречение.
Super! Studiowałam bułgarski i mówię bardzo dobrze, więc śmiesznie było Was słuchać. Szczególnie części o uczeniu i uczeniu się, bo po bułgarsku "uczyć" to "преподавам/prepodavam", a "уча/ucza" znaczy "uczę się". Ale świetnie, że mogliście się jednak dogadać! Pozdrawiam! Поздави!
it's so interesting when you discuss the conversation in english afterwards
Ja z Rusuji, ale dobro rozumije oba jezika. 70-80%. Može za to, što vy govorite spokojno
Dzięki za komentarz! Maybe you would like to take part in the experiment too? :) I am looking for a Russian speaker to talk to. Send me an email (norbert@ecolinguist.com) if you are interested :)
Working on it :)
Согласен с вами. Скажите, пожалуйста, на каком языке комментарий? Какой-то искусственный или просто импровизированная "трасянка"?
Никита Васильков стараюсь использовать общеславянские слова для коммуникации, а так проектов искусственных языков масса. Например, я слежу за проектами Novoslovesky и Medžuslovensky языков.
Ya Ukrainets, i rozumiyu po Polske. Vona ye nekulturna. Vin lipshe.
Świetne jest to, że nie musisz uczyć się żadnych konkretnych języków żeby dogadać się z braćmi Słowianami. Wystarczy że słowa se swojego języka będziesz używał z typowo słowiańskim akcentem i będziesz mówił powoli i ze spokojem dogadasz się niemalże z każdym Słowianinem... piękna sprawa
No szczególnie pomocny jest staropolski =). Np. tutaj "chudożnik" od chędożyć, chędogi. :D
Święte słowa, natomiast Niemiec, na zawsze pozostanie niemy.
Oh my I used to live in Dimitrovgrad and I'm probably going to go there this summer again that's interesting
Wow! Great video. Being a Russian speaker with some knowledge of Ukrainian, I can actually understand both pretty well, better than they can understand each other. "Duze i malo myasto" was hilarious, as well as the confusion between "to learn" and "to teach". "Moreto" ('the sea') was totally lost on the Polish person, despite being quite close to Polish "morze", I assume the definitive article was the culprit. Anyhow, they make a lot of effort, speak very slowly, and carefully choose synonyms when the particular word is not understood. In real life the languages are not really mutually intelligible.
I still get confused by the definite articles at the end of the Bulgarian and Macedonian words, even though I know about them! It just doesn't seem normal in a Slavic language.
I'm Polish/Irish, and to me personally Russian/Czech are the easiest to understand by a long shot, though it has to be noted that I've been learning both for a while. I would have to agree that Bulgarian is the hardest for me to understand, too (no cases/lots of tenses etc.). So, I guess it all depends on your place of birth! I bet Serbian would be easier for Bulgarians, for example, than Russian or Polish.
I'm Polish too and to me Slovak and Croatian/Serbian are the easiest Slavic languages to understand :)
The woman does not understand "spacz" спиш this is so similar in Bulgarian, everyone will understand it from Polish.
Абсолютно понятно и на польском и на болгарско.м
Dla mnie bułgarski był dość trudny do zrozumienia. Czy uczyłeś się polskiego i stąd byłeś w stanie mnie zrozumieć? 🤓
Mowisz in Polish is simililar to мълвиш (malvish) in Bulgarian which means speak quietly
To speak quietly in Polish is szeptać and whisper is szept which is very similar to is Bulgarian equivalent shepot.
@@andrzejdobrowolski9523 It's actually ''шептя'' (szeptia) or ''шепна'' (szepna) is the verb, ''шепот'' (szepot) is the noun.
As Russian, it seems like Russian Bulgarian and Russian Polish are more mutually intelligible, than Bulgarian Polish.
Thanks for the video!
That's because on one side Russian is heavily based on Medieval Bulgarian and on the other on local Fin dialects. Old Church Slavonic is the official name of Medieval Bulgarian and it's what you speak in church to this day. However Bulgarian(Old and Modern) is not entirely a Slavic language and Polish is. So Russian claims to be Slavic by being based on a language that is not exactly Slavic ... due to political reasons from the 15th century on. Belorussians and Ukraines have the same problem with Russian language as Poles and you'd have probably similar problem understanding them.
nikoladd Can you point at ANY finnish word in Russian except topographic names? And Bulgarian is not Slavic? Are you sick?
How's Bulgarian not a slavic language? when modern and old Bulgarian originated from the Pro-something-Slav(don't know the name, sorry)? And also hows it not when it uses the Cyrillic alphabet?
I said NOT ENTIRELY. Reading is important to understand what is written. Also Bulgarians do not USE the Cyrillic alphabet we created it and it's our alphabet. Russians use it. Mongolians use it. etc.
Bulgarian has a core of non slavic origin. The literary Old Church Slavonic has been developed over a period and the First Bulgarian empire already existed for more than 200y by that time so the literary language has been developed based on the already mixed spoken language between "Proto Bulgar" language and the Southern Slavic dialects. Much in the same way Pushkin is considered the father of the Russian literary language by mixing local dialects and Old Church Slavonic. So in short St. Cyril and Methodius, whom originate from Solun(Tesalonika) worked on the Glagolic alphabet on a mission in Great Moravia(today Slovakia). The alphabet was not used there as Catholicism pushed it out then they died. Their students returned south through Croatia and then Bulgaria. They were welcomed in Bulgaria as King Boris I was looking for a way to implement Christianity without using Greek/Latin language. Around them the Preslav literary School has been created and the Cyrillic alphabet has been commissioned and created there. It's named Cyrillic in honor of St. Cyril and not because he invented it.
Then the Ohrid literary school was created too and both Schools were tasked with educating the new clergy and translation of the holy books to Bulgarian. The language they "standardized" is called Old Church Slavonic and these are the books that the Russian Church has been built on 4 centuries later.
About Cyril and Methodius they were Byzantine monks and theur father is of Byzantine descent. Many historians speculate that their mother is likely of Bulgarian nobility, which is quite common for the time and would answer the question how were they knowledgeable enough in Bulgarian/Slavic language, which is NOT common with Greek monks. There is no direct proof of that though if it's not true the question how did they learn Bulgarian/Slavic language is very much valid and important.
About the idea that the Russian church has been built by the Byzantine is complete nonsense propositioned by Moscovite/Russian Empire/USSR propaganda for a long time. Here are some facts:
1) All the books used were Bulgarian. Byzantium never owned any sizable quantity of those and could not produce them. Byzantine never spoke Old church Slavonic, unless they were Bulgarian or spent a lot of time in Bulgaria, which is rare.
2) All the monks were Bulgarian due to same reason as the books. The first Patriarch of the Russian Church is Bulgarian. He's also the first Russian saint. Go read your history.
3) Byzantine church had no interest in creating independent slavic speaking churches ever.
4) So all they did was accept a nonvoting member in their council by allowing the Russian Church to be validated.
You can find all of what I said in your own books if you actually look.
@@nikoladd yeah, u said that russian language based (just and only) on two factors: old church (its True, but there were a revolution when slavonic words went away in 18th century) and some finnish dialects (sorry what? In which book do u read this?).
I went to check out Nadia's TH-cam channel - but it has only a few art videos from as along as 4 years ago. I searched for her Instagram - and was surprised to see her location was not Bulgaria, but WARSAW, POLAND. Now that's a coincidence. Is there any updates on this girl and her story, do you guys still keep in touch, now that she's stationed in Poland herself? Was this the only video featuring her on this channel?
Woah!
о, болгарка говорит очень понятно! и красивая девушка) хотя они оба понятно, главное чтобы не спешили говорить, чем медленнее - тем понятнее :)
Hello Norbert! This is really interesting. I'm from Argentina and studying Polish. I understood almost nothing from her! Being a native from any slavic country gives you many tools (that obviously I dont have ) to somehow understand or get the idea in this kind of conversation. It happens the same when I hear someone speaking Portuguese or Italian for example. Well... I will continue improving my Polish and maybe one day start learning another Slavic language. Regards!
Thanks for your comment Hugo! And good luck with your language learning endeavors! :)
I’m sick of Slavic people visiting other Slavic countries and talking to each other in English. This video is proof that with enough patience, you can understand each other speaking your own Slavic tongue. We are all part of one big Slavic family. Respect each other and speak in a Slavic language between each other!!
On many occasions it's not working as easily. There is actually an artificial InterSlavic language that was created to help Slavs communicate more easily. I might have someone from the community on my channel soon. :)
Nikola Sirovica😂😂😂😂
@@maximgunnarson3291 I saw you under many videos Michal and you're laughing right now about the idea of slavs talking to each other in their native languages and you also laughed about the creation of the Interslavic language calling it,, hovno'' but you also wrote under a video about the mutual inteligible of romance languages that it is cool that their so similar so I want to ask you : what' s wrong with you?
