Slovenia is the most underrated country in Europe: breathtaking landscape, heartwarming people, beautiful architecture... It will always have a lovely place in my heart. Much love from Hungary 🇭🇺❤🇸🇮
As a Croatian, "Switzerland of Balkans" is probably the most accurate description anyone has ever given Slovenia. I spent a lot of time there, love the country and the people.
@@andya.4253 Fun story. When the water levels are high a massive part of the field floods and forms the largest lake in Slovenia. (usualy during the winter/spring/fall months.) When the water levels are lower (due to lack of recent rainfall) the water flows back into the underground caves and the lake shrinks and finaly disapears. All part of the Carst geography, where most of the ground has massive holes (or caves) evreywhere.
@@andya.4253 It's a phenomena caused by the Karst landscape; sometimes it's by far the largest lake in the country and sometimes it's almost completely drained lol
My computer science teacher in high school was slovenian and he was an absolute beast. Any country which can produce a man like that is good in my eyes
Living only 20 km from both Italy and Slovenia I was so happy to finally see the Slovenia video. It was amazing and I recognized so many of the places. When I was younger we often went out for dinners to Slovenia because it was a lot cheaper and the food was always amazing. Unfortunately, I only recently really started discovering Slovenia. The landscape is very similar to where I am from, but it is in itself different and special. My favorite part so far is the Soča valley especially the drive from Kranjska Gora to Bovec via the Vršič mountain pass.
I was on holiday in Italy and we were travelling to Croatia to stay there for a bit so we decided to go via Austria and down through Slovenia through the Alps. IT WAS BEAUTIFUL!! It was amazing going through the Alps, the landscape was unbelivable and Ljublana was a lovely city too. I hope to go back to Slovenia one day!
As a Swiss person, I definitely want to visit Slovenia after watching this video. You guys seem like a Slavic version of us. With better alcohol, so sign me up when Covid time ends.
Fun fact: Although Slovenia is located in one of Europe's most unstable and war-torn regions, it was ranked by the Global Peace Index of 2021 as the 5th safest and peaceful country in the world!

It’s a shame that people are not really aware of this country (especially in Germany) and I keep telling everyone how awesome it is while being frustrated at them asking “Where is this Slovenia?!?” But honestly, I would not have been able to locate it on a map just three years ago...

Slovenia is a powerhouse! soso clean and the natural beauty and people are the best. I'm from Switzerland but honestly Slovenias lakes and rivers were much cleaner than ours and you guys take such good care of nature
Great video ! I’m from France, I visited once Ljubljana in 2019 and I LOVED IT SO MUCH. I want to visit again the country and know more about it. People were adorable, and lottt of nature and sports (loved so much the big public park in Ljubljana). Very attractive country. Loveee from France 🇸🇮🇫🇷
There was a short period when Ljubljana was under the French Empire and capital of the Illyrian Provinces. And also Charles X is buried in the Kostanjevica Monastery in Slovenia. A small connection between our two countries :D
I’m from Australia and visited Slovenia. One of the most beautiful nations on Earth! Cost of food is very reasonable too. Would love to go back there and explore more of the country.
Are you serious? I think thanx but im from slovenia and I think thats for me most borring country. But really thanx i didn't know anyone could like Slovenia so much
@@janglaser585 i think that we are just used to it, after looking at slovenia from the tourists point of view i could see it being very interesting (sea being only 3h drive from the mountains, lake bled etc...)
I mean the fact that at lake Bled you can get scammed for the water. As a Slovenian who went there, a little water bottle costs a bit less than the big one. So it is kind of a scam. Also, the food at very well known restaurants is really expensive. So if you go there again I recommend going to the local store and local restaurants since they think foreigners can pay more.
We were suppose to have it. Access to the open seas. Or so did the international tribunal in Europe decide. Then croatian inteligence agency fabricated this story that our country tried to interfere with the tribunal. Meanwhile croatian delegate stayed long term at their embassy
@@KenobiandDookuSoloTheSequels Greece, I loved visiting you back in August 2019, Athens and Corinthos were great. Much love from your Mediterranean cousin Malta.
@@30dk09 Not it's not. It's a traditional region and contains several municipalities. It's quite under-developed and underfunded as the majority of the traditional region now lies in Austria and since the decline of most heavy industry in the region, but recently tourism is becoming more economically important there, so there is growing pressure to update the infrastructure.
As an Austrian it feels weird knowing that Slovenia was in Yugoslavia. They are considered Central Europeans here and it feels like they have been in the EU as long as we have :D (I know it was 9 years later but they are in there for 16(!!) years now!) And they also use Euro as currency^^ Greetings to our Neighbours with their beautiful landscape :)
Actualy by the DNA Slovenain are more like like Slovak/Cezcs or sout/east Austrains than Croat or Serbs. It is possible that back in time Slovenian was the same tribe as Slovak/Cezcs, but then come Huns/Hungarians from the east and German from the north
Yep, I as half southern Austrian can agree. They are like our little step brother, raised by a slavic dad and the same germanic mother we had. We have the same joy for mountaineering, drink wine and Schnaps and enjoy dancing Polkas to the Oberkrainer-style music with the Steirische. And it could be possible, that they were formally a western slavic tribe, since the Czechs also have the same destinies for drinking Beer and dancing to Polkas. ^^ We are just one family, lep pozdrav!! ;)
Is that supose to be an insult to other Yugoslav countries considering that part of Croatia and Serbia are in Central Europe (Slavonia and Vojvodina) and their all countries are in Central-European time zone.
I live in the neighboring italian region of Friuli, near the so-called "Slavia Friulana" or "Beneška Slovenija", where Slovenian is one of the historical languages alongside with Friulian. I think any Friulan would agree that we are closely related in terms of culture and history and we often visit Slovenia (relatively cheap and absolutely gorgeous).
Please could you explain me about furlan language. I was in Monte Lussari, once skiing and once to climb walking. In restaurant I`ve found menu writen in more languages. One was slovene and one was I think furlan. Some words are like mixing slovene and italian. Am I right? I know also Resia waley near to Monte Lussari. Citizens are mostly Slovenian. But they have numbers like celtic system with slovene names of digits. And system is more english than germen. You know twentyfour and not vireundzwanzig.
Slovenia was one of the best trips I've ever had! Skočjan caves were without doubt the most impressive natural sights I've seen in my life. The people in Ljubljana but also in the countryside were vibrant and nice and we had great food! 10/10 would recommend
Some well-known athletes from Slovenia: - Luka Dončič ( in NBA playing for the Dallas Mavs) - Goran Dragič ( in NBA playing for the Miami Heat) - Peter Prevc (Ski jumping Olympic medalist) - Anže Kopitar (ice hockey playing for LA Kings) - Jan Oblak (goalkeeper for Spanish club Atlético Madrid) - Robert Kranjec and Primoz Peterka (won the 4 hills championship in 1997) 8:30 Picture of Bratislava 10:51 Normally we would call it proteus 17:42 Narodna Noša* 17:12 Never heard of any 3-day party after birth or soaking the father with vine (it could be a local tradition). 18:04 Avba* 18:16 France Prešeren* 19:15 Pust* 22:06 Jožef Štefan* edit* added some athletes from the comments
I'm currently planning my trip to Slovenia this August, and I'm so glad you've made a short summary on it! I went to Ljubljana and Bled a few years ago and absolutely fell in love. I have been wanting to return for ages. This time, I want to see more of the country.
I've been to Slovenia myself and I have to say, the people are extremely kind and the nature........ Definitely one of the most underrated countries in Europe!
If Covid had allowed it, Slovenia would have been my holiday destination last year. Greetings from Bavaria! Slovenia is such a beautiful, lovely country.
@@krateproductions4872 Well, no, but actually yes. 😁 It's like Germany's Texas and most Germans outside Bavaria might tell you that it should really belong to Austria and also might roll their eyes a bit, because many Bavarians actually consider themselves Bavarians first, Germans second. Most of it is tongue in cheek, though, so no hard feelings.
@@MihaSinkovec1981 Haha, deal! I'll also bring some Bavarian beer for a taste testing then. The wines up in the Franconia region are not too bad either.
I always knew, that Slovenia is culture wise close to Austria, but after this I really feel the urge to do vacation there when we left pandemic mode. Greetings from Switzerland.
@Tiberius Zann Yes, that's true, and there is also a very large minority around Bleiburg/Pilberk near the border. But not only has Koroška (Carinthia) a large influence, but Štajerska (Styria) as well. You can see the influence in the names of our towns and villages (Graz ---> Gradec; Leibnitz ---> Lipnica), but you have also large vinyards with Klopotec(es) (german "Klapotetz") scaring the birds away and hear music played on styrian accordeons. And you also can eat a Krainerwurst or Žganci (= Sterz) as a main dish and sweet Cremeschnitten or Potica (Nussrollen) as a desert. As a friend of mine (I'm half styrian), living in austrian Carinthia, said: "If you put a Styrian, a Carinthian and a Slovene in one bar with wine, then you know it's going to get very funny." ;D And what all three of our countries (Switzerland, Austria and Slovenia) like to share is... obviously mountaineering and skiing. ;) ^^
@@povijestpovijest9569 I learned Slovenian relatively quickly, older generations would understand Croatian but if I want better integration its better to use Slovenian
They canceled it though. Stupid local politics. They're planning to build a road over the place where the festival was, so it won't be able to happen there ever again once it's built. I live in Tolmin, so as someone who attended annually I'm pretty sad. Our biggest music festival and biggest metal festival in Europe, gone just like that. The only condolence is the fact that it usually takes about twenty years for our government to build anything so welp
Yup! We are underrated! But we have everything in our small country except of the desert!!! You will have a BEEEAAAUUTIFUUUL experience in sLOVEnija!👍👌
I always admired Slovenia for their wonderful landscapes and the slovenian people for being the most reasonable and basically just the coolest nation on the Balkans. (You have no idea how hard to write a comment like this without triggering other southern Slavs lmao) I live in Hungary, super close to the slovenian border (like literally, it's not more than 20 minutes by car), I've been to Slovenia several times, mostly the Prekmurje part, but I've been to Maribor, Celje and Portoroz as well, and I loved it. Especially the beach at Portoroz. No wonder you guys deserve a lot more coastline haha Love from Hungary to all Slovenians! 🇭🇺❤️🇸🇮
@@kevinkeberzibert5148 I'm Slovene, but why doesn't Slovenia have approx. 2,292,023 people but instead approx. 2,078,724 people, Trieste belongs to Italy, stop trying to make illusions of Slovenia being bigger than it's actual size.
I'm a Brit living in Slovenia, and oh boy the difficulties for people learning the language... yeah.. tell me about it... It makes you feel especially stupid when like you said 2-3 languages for everyone. The weird thing is it depends which border is the closest to you as to what the 3rd language is... Near Italy? Italian it is! Near Austria? Slide into German! etc. The introduction of a 3rd language of English across the country I’ve found is usually dependent on the age/ generation gap (which with their history makes sense). If someone is under 35 you’ve got about a 90% chance that they speak English. Over 35 is a bit hit and miss. Food is great, wine is fantastic (although other spirits made at home are fun. Got given a home-made bottle with a sticker that said 24%-49% alcohol they didn’t know exactly), and if you start your day early enough you can wake up in the flat farming plains of Europe, go skiing and sunbathing on the coast all in the same day... which is just stupid... The traditions parts you mentioned were a little off from what I've learnt. Each valley (YES VALLEY!!!) has its own traditions and at times language (yes tell me about it); the 212 municipalities give you an idea. The 3-day birth of a child party for example is 1 day where I am based. At weddings it's tradition in some parts for the father of the groom to provide a wheelbarrow (or modern-day trolley) filled with multiple gifts for the mother of the bride but not anywhere else in the country. Traditionally these would-be things like fruits, vegetables (farming powerhouse tractor reference coming through) and alcohol... lots of that. If anyone does read this and wants to ask for experiences feel free 😊 Most of them are amazing 😉
Slovenian(Prekmurian or Vandalic language) has few interesting similarities or words which are related with English or Saxonic. For example; Indri (Other; nindri - nowhere; like "no+indri"); Inda (Ancient), piyk (pijk) - pick or pickaxe; bagzivati(betatism v/b; to fuck"; fecit in latin), other slovenian - english similarities; veslo - vessel, brada - beard, brihten - bright, brod - ford, brv - bridge, bukev (also a beech)- book, češnje/črešnje - cherries, čar - charm, drag - dear, gnezdo - nest, grabiti - to grab, grozd - grape, grozen - gruesome, grunt - ground / property, gomila (also old slavic word for a grave) , hulm - hill, grob - grave (betatism), hasek - use, hiša - house, krasta - crust, klat - kill, koča - cottage, lan - linen, krava - cow (r is reduced), luk - leek, mlin - mill, motika - mattock, ogledati - ogle; to look - lukati (from which derives lik; figure; lice - face ), pest - fist (p/f), planota - plain, pleniti - to plunder, pluti - float, plug - plough, pot - path, rod - genus (root) etc etc
@@cimet2635 I like it, some things are different of course. Some of them don't bother me some do. The weird opening hours for public offices for example is... yeah... The people are great, food and wine is awesome, the language differences across the country are highly annoying though. I am not the best at languages, so Slovene is a real challenge to me (but i do keep trying!), however with full time employment and a small child, time is limited. Therefore finding out certain words i learn don't apply in other areas of the country annoys me to no end!
As an Italian, one day I would like to visit Slovenia, I am sorry that very bad things have happened between us in the past. Greetings from Palermo (Sicily).
Slovenia is definitely one of the most beautiful countries in Europe! I'm from Germany and I've been to Slovenia a couple of times. I've visited Maribor, Kranjska Gora, Planica, Lake Bled, Triglav National Park and the Postojna Cave. Weirdly enough tho I've never been to Ljubljana but I hope that I can visit it someday. Best wishes to all Slovenians from Germany^^ Oh and I hope your ski jumpers get back to the top someday. I loved those times when Peter Prevc and Severin Freund competed with each other for the world cup title :)
One thing you did not mention is that there's a slovene speaking minority in austria as well. It's like the last border of the slavic language area which stretches up to Styria. The physicist Jožef Štefan, which was mentioned in the "famous people" segment, was actually born in Klagenfurt, Austria for example. He never lived in Slovenia, but had a strong connection to the language and culture, just like many Austrian-Slovenes today. And one thing i disagree with: Slovenes did not copy germanic traditions, these traditions are widespread throughout the alps, and all of them are connected somehow.
True and also for a long, long, long time people in Slovenia were occupied by german speaking people, so they kind of had to take some of germanic traditions as their own.
@ESC Nightcore 500 years ago in all inland Austria was majority slovene. Just Nobles were germanic and also not in majority. A lot of Noblese were Slovenian. Also Ernst Habspurg has spoken slovene, because so manny people were Slovenian. And that is historicaly source in Jean Bodin book. He was a member of France Academy.
Ddddaaaammmnnn! As a Slovenian this is really special guys! I don't know a person in this country that could put this amount of work into researching this place. This whole presentation feels like you guys have been living on the sunny part of the alps for at least 5 years each. Bravo. Subscribed after 10 minutes. :)
Slovene cuisine is a mix, if you don't go for the purely traditional fare, of course. Every regions food in it's regional restaurants is your safest bet, otherwise gulyás with gnocchi, sounds about right.
Eh the only difference is that in the north the wives don't like being beaten :D (its a Žižek reference, dont @ me untill you look up the Geographical limit between Balkan and Central Europe video)
I've been to all our (Austrian) neighbouring countries but Slovenia has always been my favourite to visit. Great people, landscapes and of course schnapps ;)
not really if we get offended that inner balkan DNA quickly pops out, and you will quickly hear phrases like PIČKU MATER, BOLI ME KURAC, JEBO TE U ... PIZDE MATRNE AND MANY MANY MORE
Dual tense is quite common in Indo-European languages. Sanskrit also has the dual tense. Example - River नदी - singular - 1river - nadi नद्यॏ - dual - 2 rivers - nadyau नद्यः - plural - Rivers - nadyah
When this series is over, I want them to make a ‘family of the world’ series. Featuring all countries in their respective families and friend zones. One big sope drama, I'd love it, especially 'cause I don't want to see this channel die
As an Austrian, I feel culturally more affiliated to Slovenia than Germany or Switzerland. Despite the common language, and entertainment market, we don’t have so many things in common with D and CH. Slovenia has many caves and similar landscapes but sunnier, they love wine, they drink schnapps and keep bees, just like we do. Similar dishes. The accordion is so typical for both of our countries, and I think our mindsets must be alike too.
It's "nationalism" that made language the foundation of identity, when it's the least important. We share a thousand years of history, a common culture and blood. As far as I'm concerned, there is no border between Austria and Slovenia.
@Lydia Köffler Slovenes were loyal to Austria, even at the height of nationalism in the early 20th century. Carinthian Slovenes voted to stay in Austria rather than join the Pan-Slavic state of Yugoslovia and the rest of Slovenes would've voted the same given the chance. Slovene lands were Innerösterreich, after all.
@Lydia Köffler that's where you got it wrong my šnicel eating friend. We're not the same people because we are German, but because you are Windisch. In Carinthia most names of places have Windisch origins, you venerate Windisch Saints, you have Windisch last names and you have Windisch blood running through your veins. The very name of Kärnten comes from Karantanien, the Windisch state. So spare me your massive superiority complex, you're as much of a tschusch as we are.
@Lydia Köffler Which ethnic Germans? Where did that happened? Which partisan movement? Have you ever asked, why did that happened? Are there any facts? And since you are stating these "facts", have you ever asked yourself, how many (innocent) people were killed, deported or assimilated by the other side? Nothing against anyone, but this story must not be seen just from one side.
@@sebbisdee2177 a pun can be tolerate only so far and when it's shoved down your throat not only in your day to day lives but even during your yt adds( yes there was a time when this was a regular add)
As someone from Slovenia, I really appreciated this video. :) Also, another fun linguistic fact: there are around 2.5 million Slovene speakers in the world (diasporas in Argentina, Canada and the US) but in Slovenia itself there are close to 90 distinct dialects.
You forgot the "kozolec" by the mentioning of klopotec. It was/is used to dry hay because of the many rainy days in Slovenia. And by the beekeping, Anton Janša was one of the first men to study modern beekeping, we also have the slovene bee-hive the "AŽ panj" and beehouse witch can't be found nowhere else in the (old) world
Slovenia is my country of heart, been there 5 times and hiked for 1.5 month once. It is so stunningly beautiful. Perfect combo of Alps, Adriatic, slavic beer, mediteranean cuisine, bears, seagull, great wine, magical hills in the East, sunny and warn weather ... Pogrešam te Slovenija ❤️
@@KrlKngMrtssn yeah it is like Germans calling themselves Nazis. Some time ago more people did that as a trend, now only the deranged people that are not in touch with reality do it.
The part about Triglav- when you conquer Triglav for the first time, people doesnt fight eachother. They just hit your butt with something like climbing rope once. Its like a baptism sorte of, i myself experienced it :) and thanks, you have good and interesting way of describing countries 👍
4:56 The castle on top left is called Bojnický zámok (Bojnice castle) and is located in Slovakia 8:11 That's not in Slovenia either. It's Dóm sv. Martina (St. Martin's Cathedral) located in Bratislava, right next to Bratislava castle 8:29 Again this square is not in Ljubljana, but in Bratislava and it's called Hlavné námestie (Main square) Otherwise great video.

Love Slovenia! Greetings from Austria
Great video ! I’m from France, I visited once Ljubljana in 2019 and I LOVED IT SO MUCH. I want to visit again the country and know more about it. People were adorable, and lottt of nature and sports (loved so much the big public park in Ljubljana). Very attractive country. Loveee from France 🇸🇮🇫🇷
There was a short period when Ljubljana was under the French Empire and capital of the Illyrian Provinces. And also Charles X is buried in the Kostanjevica Monastery in Slovenia. A small connection between our two countries :D
I`m sorry about last two years on the Tour de France. It was like a Slovenian competition. 🙂
@@bojanstare8667 i wasnt aware of that, i dont follow the Tour de France at all. Im glad for you and for Slovenia if you won a lot. :)
I’m from Australia and visited Slovenia. One of the most beautiful nations on Earth! Cost of food is very reasonable too. Would love to go back there and explore more of the country.
Are you serious? I think thanx but im from slovenia and I think thats for me most borring country.
But really thanx i didn't know anyone could like Slovenia so much
@@janglaser585 i think that we are just used to it, after looking at slovenia from the tourists point of view i could see it being very interesting (sea being only 3h drive from the mountains, lake bled etc...)
@@JukoYT sea is like 1.5h from the mountains and ljubljana but yea
I mean the fact that at lake Bled you can get scammed for the water. As a Slovenian who went there, a little water bottle costs a bit less than the big one. So it is kind of a scam. Also, the food at very well known restaurants is really expensive. So if you go there again I recommend going to the local store and local restaurants since they think foreigners can pay more.

Geography now: extensive network of roads connecting every region
Koroška: Am I a joke to you
Koroska is not a municipality
Koroška doesn't really exist. It is like Australia.
@@30dk09 Not it's not. It's a traditional region and contains several municipalities. It's quite under-developed and underfunded as the majority of the traditional region now lies in Austria and since the decline of most heavy industry in the region, but recently tourism is becoming more economically important there, so there is growing pressure to update the infrastructure.
As an Austrian it feels weird knowing that Slovenia was in Yugoslavia. They are considered Central Europeans here and it feels like they have been in the EU as long as we have :D (I know it was 9 years later but they are in there for 16(!!) years now!) And they also use Euro as currency^^
Greetings to our Neighbours with their beautiful landscape :)
Actualy by the DNA Slovenain are more like like Slovak/Cezcs or sout/east Austrains than Croat or Serbs.
It is possible that back in time Slovenian was the same tribe as Slovak/Cezcs, but then come Huns/Hungarians from the east and German from the north
Yep, I as half southern Austrian can agree. They are like our little step brother, raised by a slavic dad and the same germanic mother we had.
We have the same joy for mountaineering, drink wine and Schnaps and enjoy dancing Polkas to the Oberkrainer-style music with the Steirische. And it could be possible, that they were formally a western slavic tribe, since the Czechs also have the same destinies for drinking Beer and dancing to Polkas. ^^
We are just one family, lep pozdrav!! ;)
Lol, I work in Austria an we (Slovenes) are all treated as Yugos by Austrians...
Is that supose to be an insult to other Yugoslav countries considering that part of Croatia and Serbia are in Central Europe (Slavonia and Vojvodina) and their all countries are in Central-European time zone.
You really didn't know? Austrian education system sucks :D
As an American, i have wanted to visit Slovenia for a long time and i think it's very beautiful there. And I'd say Slovenia is way too underrated.
I live in the neighboring italian region of Friuli, near the so-called "Slavia Friulana" or "Beneška Slovenija", where Slovenian is one of the historical languages alongside with Friulian. I think any Friulan would agree that we are closely related in terms of culture and history and we often visit Slovenia (relatively cheap and absolutely gorgeous).
Yessss
Please could you explain me about furlan language. I was in Monte Lussari, once skiing and once to climb walking. In restaurant I`ve found menu writen in more languages. One was slovene and one was I think furlan. Some words are like mixing slovene and italian. Am I right? I know also Resia waley near to Monte Lussari. Citizens are mostly Slovenian. But they have numbers like celtic system with slovene names of digits. And system is more english than germen. You know twentyfour and not vireundzwanzig.
I am of Italian and Slovenian descent. Maybe that's why my parents get along so well.
Slovenia was one of the best trips I've ever had! Skočjan caves were without doubt the most impressive natural sights I've seen in my life. The people in Ljubljana but also in the countryside were vibrant and nice and we had great food! 10/10 would recommend

Bavaria? It’s part of Germany right?
@@krateproductions4872 Well, no, but actually yes. 😁 It's like Germany's Texas and most Germans outside Bavaria might tell you that it should really belong to Austria and also might roll their eyes a bit, because many Bavarians actually consider themselves Bavarians first, Germans second.

Greetings from Switzerland.
@Tiberius Zann Yes, that's true, and there is also a very large minority around Bleiburg/Pilberk near the border. But not only has Koroška (Carinthia) a large influence, but Štajerska (Styria) as well. You can see the influence in the names of our towns and villages (Graz ---> Gradec; Leibnitz ---> Lipnica), but you have also large vinyards with Klopotec(es) (german "Klapotetz") scaring the birds away and hear music played on styrian accordeons. And you also can eat a Krainerwurst or Žganci (= Sterz) as a main dish and sweet Cremeschnitten or Potica (Nussrollen) as a desert.
As a friend of mine (I'm half styrian), living in austrian Carinthia, said: "If you put a Styrian, a Carinthian and a Slovene in one bar with wine, then you know it's going to get very funny." ;D
And what all three of our countries (Switzerland, Austria and Slovenia) like to share is... obviously mountaineering and skiing. ;) ^^

@@kevinkeberzibert5148 I'm Slovene, but why doesn't Slovenia have approx. 2,292,023 people but instead approx. 2,078,724 people, Trieste belongs to Italy, stop trying to make illusions of Slovenia being bigger than it's actual size.
I'm a Brit living in Slovenia, and oh boy the difficulties for people learning the language... yeah.. tell me about it... It makes you feel especially stupid when like you said 2-3 languages for everyone. The weird thing is it depends which border is the closest to you as to what the 3rd language is... Near Italy? Italian it is! Near Austria? Slide into German! etc. The introduction of a 3rd language of English across the country I’ve found is usually dependent on the age/ generation gap (which with their history makes sense). If someone is under 35 you’ve got about a 90% chance that they speak English. Over 35 is a bit hit and miss.
Food is great, wine is fantastic (although other spirits made at home are fun. Got given a home-made bottle with a sticker that said 24%-49% alcohol they didn’t know exactly), and if you start your day early enough you can wake up in the flat farming plains of Europe, go skiing and sunbathing on the coast all in the same day... which is just stupid...
The traditions parts you mentioned were a little off from what I've learnt. Each valley (YES VALLEY!!!) has its own traditions and at times language (yes tell me about it); the 212 municipalities give you an idea. The 3-day birth of a child party for example is 1 day where I am based. At weddings it's tradition in some parts for the father of the groom to provide a wheelbarrow (or modern-day trolley) filled with multiple gifts for the mother of the bride but not anywhere else in the country. Traditionally these would-be things like fruits, vegetables (farming powerhouse tractor reference coming through) and alcohol... lots of that.
If anyone does read this and wants to ask for experiences feel free 😊 Most of them are amazing 😉
Slovenian(Prekmurian or Vandalic language) has few interesting similarities or words which are related with English or Saxonic. For example; Indri (Other; nindri - nowhere; like "no+indri"); Inda (Ancient), piyk (pijk) - pick or pickaxe; bagzivati(betatism v/b; to fuck"; fecit in latin), other slovenian - english similarities; veslo - vessel, brada - beard, brihten - bright, brod - ford, brv - bridge, bukev (also a beech)- book, češnje/črešnje - cherries, čar - charm, drag - dear, gnezdo - nest, grabiti - to grab, grozd - grape, grozen - gruesome, grunt - ground / property, gomila (also old slavic word for a grave) , hulm - hill, grob - grave (betatism), hasek - use, hiša - house, krasta - crust, klat - kill, koča - cottage, lan - linen, krava - cow (r is reduced), luk - leek, mlin - mill, motika - mattock, ogledati - ogle; to look - lukati (from which derives lik; figure; lice - face ), pest - fist (p/f), planota - plain, pleniti - to plunder, pluti - float, plug - plough, pot - path, rod - genus (root) etc etc
Ok how do you fell abaut slovinia?
@@cimet2635 I like it, some things are different of course. Some of them don't bother me some do. The weird opening hours for public offices for example is... yeah... The people are great, food and wine is awesome, the language differences across the country are highly annoying though. I am not the best at languages, so Slovene is a real challenge to me (but i do keep trying!), however with full time employment and a small child, time is limited. Therefore finding out certain words i learn don't apply in other areas of the country annoys me to no end!

One thing you did not mention is that there's a slovene speaking minority in austria as well.
It's like the last border of the slavic language area which stretches up to Styria. The physicist Jožef Štefan, which was mentioned in the "famous people" segment, was actually born in Klagenfurt, Austria for example. He never lived in Slovenia, but had a strong connection to the language and culture, just like many Austrian-Slovenes today.
And one thing i disagree with: Slovenes did not copy germanic traditions, these traditions are widespread throughout the alps, and all of them are connected somehow.
you mean born in Celovec ;)
Isto je Beljak/Villach po nemško in Solnograd je kao Salzburg...
True and also for a long, long, long time people in Slovenia were occupied by german speaking people, so they kind of had to take some of germanic traditions as their own.
@@TadeSLO Salzburg ni kao Solnograd, ampak je Solnograd. Tudi Muenchen ima slovensko ime - Monakovo. Velika večina teh mest ima venetske korenine.
@ESC Nightcore 500 years ago in all inland Austria was majority slovene. Just Nobles were germanic and also not in majority. A lot of Noblese were Slovenian. Also Ernst Habspurg has spoken slovene, because so manny people were Slovenian. And that is historicaly source in Jean Bodin book. He was a member of France Academy.

As an Austrian, I feel culturally more affiliated to Slovenia than Germany or Switzerland. Despite the common language, and entertainment market, we don’t have so many things in common with D and CH.
Slovenia has many caves and similar landscapes but sunnier, they love wine, they drink schnapps and keep bees, just like we do. Similar dishes. The accordion is so typical for both of our countries, and I think our mindsets must be alike too.
It's "nationalism" that made language the foundation of identity, when it's the least important. We share a thousand years of history, a common culture and blood. As far as I'm concerned, there is no border between Austria and Slovenia.
@Lydia Köffler Slovenes were loyal to Austria, even at the height of nationalism in the early 20th century. Carinthian Slovenes voted to stay in Austria rather than join the Pan-Slavic state of Yugoslovia and the rest of Slovenes would've voted the same given the chance. Slovene lands were Innerösterreich, after all.
@Lydia Köffler that's where you got it wrong my šnicel eating friend. We're not the same people because we are German, but because you are Windisch. In Carinthia most names of places have Windisch origins, you venerate Windisch Saints, you have Windisch last names and you have Windisch blood running through your veins. The very name of Kärnten comes from Karantanien, the Windisch state. So spare me your massive superiority complex, you're as much of a tschusch as we are.
@Lydia Köffler Wait, thats confusing. Who burnt down whose and who murdered who?
@Lydia Köffler Which ethnic Germans? Where did that happened? Which partisan movement? Have you ever asked, why did that happened? Are there any facts? And since you are stating these "facts", have you ever asked yourself, how many (innocent) people were killed, deported or assimilated by the other side? Nothing against anyone, but this story must not be seen just from one side.
You think that the sLOVEnia joke at the end was bad but that's their official tourist motto
Yeah and i'm pretty sure a lot of us cringy every time we see it
Haha, na mate gotta respect the pun
It's bad. But at least better than I/AM/STERDAM
This might be a bone for contention but, Slovakia's 'Travel in Slovakia - good idea' is one of the greatest
@@sebbisdee2177 a pun can be tolerate only so far and when it's shoved down your throat not only in your day to day lives but even during your yt adds( yes there was a time when this was a regular add)
Love Slovenia 🇸🇮 I am from Montenegro 🇲🇪 but I really love their traditions and country cause we were all in one country together Yugoslavia

It’s so beautiful❤️ greetings from Germany😊
If you wanna come u can live with me lol

Guten tag mein lieber freund danke für das compliment (im not 100% sure about the correctness of the words i can speak it fluid but write it so so)
Why?
Uuuu danke schun
As someone from Slovenia, I really appreciated this video. :) Also, another fun linguistic fact: there are around 2.5 million Slovene speakers in the world (diasporas in Argentina, Canada and the US) but in Slovenia itself there are close to 90 distinct dialects.
i am a 4th generation slovenian living in the USA trying to figure out how to move to slovenia 🇸🇮. any suggestions ?
@@anthony4032 buy a plane ticket?
but seriously, I dont think there would be a problem. Search all details in your USA embassy in Slovenia.
These videos always make me want to travel lmao! They always make the countries sound so awesome
so go! do!
Big on wine, thousands of beer micro-breweries and homemade Schnapps? Respect from Slovakia :)
Don't forget the beer fountain.
A worthy opponent you say? I miss those drinking competitions between nationalities... i used to travel a lot, but due to the situation... well...
Western Slovakia is big on wine too
Thanks … I guess …
Just beware of homemade schnapps. Some of it can used as jet fuel
The video: Slovenia is a fastly developing country with good economy-
Slovenians in the background: *sarcastic laughter*
Jebena korona lmao

You forgot the "kozolec" by the mentioning of klopotec. It was/is used to dry hay because of the many rainy days in Slovenia. And by the beekeping, Anton Janša was one of the first men to study modern beekeping, we also have the slovene bee-hive the "AŽ panj" and beehouse witch can't be found nowhere else in the (old) world
Finally someone giving Slovenia some love. I’m from Slovenia so I’m happy seeing my home country getting some love😊🫶
I’m coming to your country soon! I am so ready to see what life is like over there. I’m from the USA
Slovenia is my country of heart, been there 5 times and hiked for 1.5 month once. It is so stunningly beautiful. Perfect combo of Alps, Adriatic, slavic beer, mediteranean cuisine, bears, seagull, great wine, magical hills in the East, sunny and warn weather ... Pogrešam te Slovenija ❤️
Oh, Slovenia
That quiet brother who secretly lefts the family and suddenly becomes way richer than the other siblings
bulgaria also in the balkans
(love slovenia and estonia from bulgaria 🇧🇬🇪🇪🇸🇮)
@S no... Estonia is not way richer than the rest of Baltics, i think Lithuania has a even higher GDP than Estonia
And call themselves "Germans" and "Switzerland" 😂😂😂
@@KrlKngMrtssn We don't.Nobody does that.Germans got genocided in 1943
@@KrlKngMrtssn yeah it is like Germans calling themselves Nazis. Some time ago more people did that as a trend, now only the deranged people that are not in touch with reality do it.
The part about Triglav- when you conquer Triglav for the first time, people doesnt fight eachother. They just hit your butt with something like climbing rope once. Its like a baptism sorte of, i myself experienced it :) and thanks, you have good and interesting way of describing countries 👍
Loved the video, Slovenia sounds like heaven honestly
in all honesty if you're a student it is XD
I love how so many slovenians showed up in the comments
I’m a German
Love it! So proud to be Sicilian/Slovene!!
you bet your sweet bippy we did
Yeah, they do that
I’m Swedish
As Slovene, i must say that you all did a great work of researching about my country !!!
Best regards to Slovenian people from Poland 🇵🇱🤝🇸🇮
Dziekuje bardzo! I love Poland, been there many times!
Slava
Thanks
Hvala
I heard you Poles like Laško 😏
I can't wait to visit this summer. I absolutly fell in love with that country! All because i fell in love with the music of 5 silly slovenians....
I am in love with Slovenia since I visited 2 years ago. Triglav National Park is really one of the most beautiful pieces of nature I have ever seen!
4:56 The castle on top left is called Bojnický zámok (Bojnice castle) and is located in Slovakia
8:11 That's not in Slovenia either. It's Dóm sv. Martina (St. Martin's Cathedral) located in Bratislava, right next to Bratislava castle
8:29 Again this square is not in Ljubljana, but in Bratislava and it's called Hlavné námestie (Main square)
Otherwise great video. Love from Slovakia
yap that's right, you have good observation
Good spot, I only noticed the St.Martin's cathedral at 8:11.
Anyway, some content for Friday's mistakes episode :)
need to go watch the Slovakia video now, to see if they confused you with us as well :) greets from Ljubljana
When listing all the famous Slovenian people you forgot Luka Dončić.
Also Jan Oblak, goalkeeper in Atlético Madrid.
@@taussabes7677 and ilicic and handanovic
It’s was a short list in this video and didn’t include any athletes
@@j_viking3268 but when they were talking about sports they mentioned some famous athletes and even talked about basketball
5 years ago no one in Slovenia knew who was Dončić lol
And now he is like "immortal"
Settle down please
