American Texan Reacts to Geography Now! | Slovakia | Part 2 

Slovak men during Valentine's day: Babe, did you have a good time? :) Women: Omg, yes, I love you.

As your Slovak fan I would love to see videos about Texas 😄

Actually Slovak and Czech languages are so simillar that Slovaks can actually come to study at Czech universities without having to study Czech and they go to lessons in Czech, but do their essays, homework or tests in Slovak. Like 1/3 of my classmates are Slovak.

Most of those letters have English equivalent. But where English needs multiple symbols to write down a sound, we use just one. That's why there are so many of them. For example you could write the word ship as šip, cheese as čís or moose as mús.

The letters, well its complicated for foreigners. Basically there are letters as ď, ť, ň ,ľ, š, ž, č. They are just d, t, n, l, s, z and c with a "Mäkčeň" The word comes from mäkké wich is Soft in English. So you pronounce it a little bit softer than the letters without the "Mäkčeň". But sometimes you don't need to write the Mäkčeň. When there comes e or i after d, t, n and l it is automatically pronounced softer. Then there are á, ó, ú, é, ý, í, ĺ, ŕ. The mark over them is called "Dĺžeň" wich comes from the word dlhý = long in English. So you need to say it longer in the word. Ä is pronounced like ae. Then there is ô. It is pronounced like uo. The other letters don't have a mark. Hockey: Yeah, we used to be very good. As Czekoslovakia we were good, but after the split the Czechs got to the A category, which is the best and left us, the Slovaks drop to the lowest category C. Then we fought to the A category in only a few years and even won some medals. But after that we only have really bad luck. But this year we came at least to the quarterfinals after like 8 years.

10:49 map of Czechoslovakia (between world wars) is wrong here, we've also had Zakarpattia. We lost it after ww2, because USSR decided to keep it as part of Ukraine and after break up of USSR it became part of Ukraine

Hey! I would suggest you react to the march of the Czechoslovak legion through Russia during WW1. The czechoslovak legion did some crazy things like stealing Russia’s entire gold reserve, controlling the whole transsiberian railway and winning a naval battle on a ship they stole despite neither country having access to the sea. Keep up the good work :)

As a Slovak, no not all characters do have different symbols on top of them. Some of them are always pronounced the same while some change depending on the letters next to them.

Hi guys! :) Thank you for another great video! You guys, made me even more proud to be Slovak! :D One remark.... you forgot to mention Štefan Banič - the true and only inventor of parachute! ;)

No, not every character has a duplicate that sounds different but theres many of them :3

I would love to see something about Texas. :) And yes.. there was a dispute between Lichtenstein and Slovakia. It was same with the Czech Republic. Liechtestein use to owned a few castles and lands surrounding it. We just kind of kept them after 2. world war. :D

If you wanna know more about Slovakia then I highly recommend channel Chasing Kimberly. She is from Philipines and lives in Slovakia.

this year was good for slovak ice hockey 😊😊 after long time

U should film a video just about Easter in Slovakia I think that would be so much fun😂

Maybe you should Come to visit Slovakia and made some stuff with PPPeter.Wish all good from Slovakia 😎

Hi, thanks for your videos. I watch you from Slovakia, where I live, and what you were asking at 1:35 : That marks above characters sometimes radically change meaning of word, e.g. myš = mouse vs. mys = cape, súd = trial or court vs. sud = barrel. It is also able to listen the difference. That ' symbol twices duration of pronouncing that character and is called dĺžeň ("longer"?! .. dĺžka means length) Next we have ˇ symbol, that is prononced mäkčeň ("softer"?! .. mäkký is soft), so it create softer version of character. You can imagine that in some english words,e.g. in word version we would use character š (veršn), ž in word garage (garáž), or č in word furniture (furničr). Next we have two dots above "a" (ä), which is called "a with two dots" or "wide a". It is spelled like deeper version of "a" or something like "ae" really fast :) Above "o" you can find ^ (ô), symbolizing fast spelled "uo" . In eglish is word vowel, where it can be found (ôvl). Hope it was understable and helps you somewhat :) Have a nice day.

Ahoj..... I greet you from Slovakia .... it's great to see such reactions ... I'm looking forward to the video with Peter if he will

In Slovakia is one of two free erupting šprint od oil. I live in that village.

I would love to see videos about Texas! Much love from Slovakia :)

Yes evry version of letter had different production I am from Slovakia ❤❤

You know the thing is, Easter is not exaggerated, at least not in the old-time villages. In cities it's like a symbolic wham and a bit of parfeum, but in the vilige where I live, it was more intense. The girls got whipped pretty hard (sometimes before, sometimes after water)... usually my neighbors wake their women on easter that they dump a bucket of really cold water over them still sleeping, but we had a couple of times, where they just took the whole bed (as silently as possible) and just dumped the sleeping girl/woman directly into the river :D:D:D .... aaaaand then she got whipped :D

Yeah we used to be good at hockey but today it is dreadful :D I mean this year we only reached the quarterfinals for the first time after 8 years :D But we are still a hockey nation and we always support our boys when they are playing :)

Surely make some vids about texas! also a collaboration with pppeter would be awesome

Interesting video! I live in Czech and dont even know some of this stuff. btw pppiter has posted a video about USA a few hours ago

I would like to see videos about Texas, because every time when someone mention Texas I imagine old greedy man like in Simpsons or very unpolite guys who wants beat you because you are not true American. Nothing offensive its just my imagine 😅

Also we have Slovak orchester. They made music for films and video games last film was Rambo Last blood i think

As a Slovak the reaction is awesome

theese symbols like š ž are in our language just to easier writing. Like Š = Sh, Ž = Zh Č = CZ nad more

The Easter thing is not exaggerated, in fact that was toned down lol. In small villages they literally drag girls into local creeks and rivers...which are very cold in March/April. Or when they feel nice, they will throw literal buckets of water on us...but it's fine, I think it's important to keep traditions and especially the pre-christian ones.

Pssst. PPPeter made new video about America. Would be funny see your reaction how American guy about his America video :D

I recommend playing our anthem.

Again, more realistic pronunciation of "Fujara" is like "Fuyara", thanks ;)

I recommend you watch Oversimplifieds video about the Napoleonic wars.

12:01 "And they get along just fine" when I heard this in their video I almost collapsed 😂😂 because we hate Hungarians and they hate us, both Hungarians and Austrians

6:57 "rožik jorošin"?😂

All vowels have equivalents with marks , these letters are pronounced differently. Some of consonants also have marks , the mark usually softens the pronunciation. It’s mainly because basically every letter equals to different sound and you don’t basically have to know the world to know how to pronounce it . There are some exceptions, for example when there are more consonants together in the word (vt, dc,sb, etc)

I like your interest in my country. :D Just two notes. The instrument, we are really proud of, called FUJARA is pronounced "fuyara" and the historical hero Juraj Jánošík is pronounced "Youray Yaanosheek" :D J sounds like y in york in Slovak language.

Wow, we're actualy awesome:D

As a Slovak love CROATIA!

Well, the 1968 event was not a part of WW2 but 23 years later xd It was when Czechoslovakia was in a few months stage of a Prague spring during which we were having a sort of "free" policy and were adopting some things from Western Europe which the Soviet Union did not like and with the pact of Eastern block countries "helping each other in time of need" they stormed in August 1968 into Czechoslovakia with tanks and occupied us because we were being kind of free and Soviets were scared that we would separate from the Eastern block. Just a little lesson of history of Czechoslovakia here xd hope I get that right

Yes, show us your state.

Yes we are interested in video about Texas. ;)

Okay, so on Easter the whipping is like... lightly tapping and the water is usually sprayed in a perfume bottle (unless you're rather.... pationate) and while men do get money, more common is chocolate, candy, snacks or other food pieces, sometimes stuff like alcohol for adults. Men and sons walk around their village if it's small enough or neigbourhood if in a city, visiting woman who are often already expecting it. So like Halloween but you always trick and you always get the treat, no "or" needed. Also, like many other countries, Jesus is the person delivering gifts at Christmas, not Santa Claus, though he gets his own holiday, December 6th, the Saint Nicholas day, which is when the boots and socks are stocked with goodies, though mostly candies and fruit, not a lot of toys, oh and this is when "naughty" kids gets coal instead of candy, which means they still get gifts on Christmas, which are better than Saint Nick's gifts most of the time anyway.

Do his slovakia series its the best

explain u some of alphaber chars ...word 'chyba' means an error ans 'chýba' means is missing so yes the letters with charracters can have another meaning

Hey man what about oversimplified WW2 reaction? Would be cool !

Easter is not exaggerated, but dont worry Slovak women usually rule for the rest of the year 😇

Alright so to explain Slovak So for example this letter Á is pronounced like Aaa And this letter Š is pronounced like Sh This one ô is pronounced like up And this Ä is pronounced something like Eh And J in for example Ondrej is pronounced like Ondrei

I have a funny story related to our alphabet (similar to Czech)... with an American friend, who pronounced Václav Havel, former Czechoslovak president as "VaKlaF HÁVA...", mispronouncing "c" for "k" instead of soft "ts" and kinda swallowing "vel" as for schwa :D I will never forget that :D It is funny that many Americans or foreigners have problems pronouncing š (sh) or č (tsh) or j (y) :D I hope that it will get better :D Much love from another Slovak fan :)

Can you pls react to the new pppeter video about the worst things about america(part 2)

Fun fact from 2002 to this year's championship We didn't win against Russia only this year

1:56 not everyone, but many

Oversimplified posted The Napoleonic wars maybe you can react to it?

So.. slovak alphabet: When you have " ˇ " above the letter it makes the latter "softer". Per say C (normaly read like TS in tsar) cahnges into " Č " (read like CZ in czech or CH in check)- This thingy can be above letters: Ť Ž Š Ď Ľ Ň Č When you have " ´ " above the letter it makes the letter longer. Its easier to explain in this way: imagine the word "need". now make the middle part shorter. that would be wroten as "Nid" in slovakia. To make the middle part longer you just write it as "níd". very simple. ´ can be above letters é í á ó ú ý (and maybe more but i cant remember lol) Then we have two special ones. there is ä and ô. ä makes somewhat of a "Ugh" sound ( slovake.eu/en/learning/grammar/pronunciation/a ) and ô is basicaly " UO " ( forvo.com/word/ô/ )

When you are talking to young czechs, they have troubles to understand slovak. Some words are completly different so when Im speaking to them in slovak but Im going to say word that is different in czech, I just say it in czech. Also they say sometimes to slow down so they can understand better.

Hungarian ABC is basically the same!

Ayo remember the days of when you watched Oversimplified? He just released 2 new episodes, you should go check 'em out.

Yes please, do the video about Texas, but it Slovak language. Do your best. :D

PPPeter just made a new vid about the US.

Another comment to our language - back in the day when “the guy” defined our language he made a rule “write it as you hear it”. And that’s quite useful. You said that writing is intimidating and you can’t probably read it. But in fact, I can create completly new unmeaningful word and every Slovak will read it the same. Or I can tell a new word and all Slovak will write it more or less the same. And also we do not need to learn how to spell, as most words are read the same as a whole word and as each leter individually. For exaple “look”. You need to spell L-O-O-K. We’d write sound of that word as “lúk”. That’s 3 separated sounds when you say that word - short “L”, long “uuu” and short “K”. And “soup” has similar sound but with much shorter “u” in the middle and we would write as “sup”. So “u” is short as in “soup” and “ú” is long as in “look”. But it’s the same sound, same position of toungue and mouth, it’s just shorter or longer. Therefore we write it as the same “u” but if it’s longer we add that comma above what we actually call something like “longerer” - make sense - right? And same is short “o” in “lot” vs long “ó” in “more”. Short “a” in “bat” and long “á” in “bath”. Short “i” in “sit” and long “í” in “seed”. See? Actually easier to read. You have “bat” and “bath” which looks almost the same but you made different sound when you read it. We would write it as “bat” and “báf”. Now try to say “bat” and “bath” and look on our writing “bat” and “báf”. See how we write it exactly by the sound of it (aka “as we hear it”)?

Do you celebrate nameday(meniny) (similar to birthday[narodeniny]) in USA? In UK not but I dont know how it is in USA?

Slovakia have most beautifle woman in world

im from Slovakia and im also part of the romani. and actually its called slovak-romani since romani's are all around the world. and since im slovak-romani we have our language. our language is made up of: old slovakian words and some other made up words. and most of the 2% is actually either homeless or dont know how to clean them selfs properly and live without going to school. and the other 2% are actually live normaly. and some slovak-romani's are rich. and yes us slovak-romani's go to work! so you slovakians respect us!

now in slovakia is 6AM

No ,not every Letter has some version with mark above it ,in Slovak

1:57 actually most of our letters do .For example letter a has á and ä.You should be learning this in 1st or 2nd grade ( or i did so)

do vieos about Texas pls.

here you have example ..š ... when you say cash .. this -sh on end you can write in Slovak language š ..caš .. and you read it like cash ..-sh is -š .. this is example only for this -sh ..becourse "c" you read in slovak language different. and "a" to :)

You should visit slovakia so you can get you first Kapurkovy

For example Piešťany the Š is like SH (imagine saying shhhh quiet) we call it fluffy S (mäkké s je š) and Ť is T but put your tongue up this i cant explain you will have to hear it 😂 we have ä which is like E.. and á é í ó ú its called long A so you will say A or ÁÁÁ you say it longer but not too much it will be weird

not all slovak letter has "mark" version like: á is just long a

Please react to "Geography Now! India" !

Im a slovak

You have never heard of warsaw army invasion in 1968 or the dispute with lichtenstein. Because that dispute it isnt big thing. Basically few castles that was during communism nationalized.

U are most liked Texas man for Slovaks..bcoz of PPP... 🤪

the easter thing is a pagan tradition

Not every letter has different version of it . There is "only" á ä č ď dž é í ľ ĺ ň ŕ š ť ú ý ž lol

Pppeter is gonna upload very soon

1:50 yes 1:57 no

Today new video from pppeter about USA do you see it?

mäkčene,dĺžne not all of them have the version with upper stuff

yep videos about Texas would be nice, videos like from an ordinary mans perspective are more welcome, then news feeds or films etc. where reality is well many times obscured and not the real thing, mostly movies, so yeah Also h, g, f, k, m, v, and maybe some others, dont use those symbols. Btw, t,l,n,d,s,z do with maybe some others etc. Those are the same letters f.e. t as ť, t is pronounced as teh (in ur case tea, but we say its teh well pronounce longer emphasis on e), and the other one as tje, or tye,(not precise, but somewhat accurate), sounds different, so its a different letter probably thats the reasoning behind it. I think those are the same letters but with a little something extra, but i guess its cool to have the longest alphabet in Europe :). Also pppeter did do a video about USA, like u know those as France, Czechia, Slovakia, Germany and so on. Quite funny. I hope ull react :).

1:58 not every one

Well that part with Lichtenstein is absolutely stupid, i dont even know why they talked about it. It's just a "dispute" over some chateau, nothing really serios. These kind of disputes becouse of buildings are on regular basis in every "post-monarchical" country. And the part with the other side of Bratislava, yeah it was a part of Germany during 2. world war, but thats all. After that its a regular part of Slovakia with no dispute at all, actually there is a lot of Slovaks in these areas of Hungary and Austria couse they work in Bratislava but can't afford to buy a house there.

Have you forgot mention Andy Warhol?

pppeter released a new worst things about... please react to it :)

Rusins-very specific ethnic at northeast part od Slovakia :) they are not ukrainians, Russians or Polish with their own dialect hardly understandable for non-Rusins :)

react to PPPeter's new video: the worst things about the united states, he re-made it

Rusyns is better translated as ruthenians

No mention of the racism? How generous.

Hokej in Slovakia is too expensiv …this is why we not on top

What's so special about an American Texan reacting to Slovakia

Someone Hungarian from this "country"? Slovakia is evrything Just not a country (aka politycs, NOT poeple).
