Czech is definitely easier for Bulgarians to understand :) But, Norbert, please, find Bulgarian participants who know the Bulgarian language and at least have interest in Slavic languages. :D In many places it was very clear to me what you and Vit were talking about, but the girl is completely lost. Your last Bulgarian participant was clueless too in places where we have almost the same words in Bulgarian. The reality is that an educated Bulgarian with some better understanding of their own language and dialectal variety would have a much higher intelligibility with other Slavic speakers. In Bulgarian we have "sekira", and we also say "dom" ("U doma" means "at home") and also the dog is called "ovcharka" too. Many other parallels that were missed. ;)

Dom in Bulgarian means Home. Kushta means House.

Unfortunately it's really difficult for her to speak Bulgarian. As a Bulgarian that lives abroad I completely understand her situation. She makes up words that are close to the real ones and can't really remember the pronunciation and their meaning. That's why it was a mess understanding each other but it was fun😃

„Dom“ and „kâšta“ are synonyms and both mean house in Bulgarian. Dom has a slightly different nuance, more like „home“ in English or „hogar“ in Spanish. „Sekira“ and „pes“ are totally legit words as well. The shepherd‘s crook is „gega“ but it’s easy to imagine that it’s falling out of use and younger folks don’t know it.

Świetny pomysł i projekt. Vit to chyba najlepszy kompan do rozmów tego typu. Bardzo sympatyczny człowiek. Zdrówka!

It would be interesting to compare: Church Slavonic, Russian, Polish, Bulgarian. All we have to do is find a speaker of Church Slavonic... And yes, we need more Interslavic!

Unfortunately our lady has forgotten our language long time ago...🤔 There are so many words from a slavic origin she could have used and so many you've, guys, said and she failed to recognize...pity. Plus, as already someone mentioned in the comments ,if you get the chance to find a native speaker from the west part of the country and in particular from the northwest Bulgaria you'll be amazed, yourself, how mutual intelligible the languages are. Greetings!

Благодаря болгарскому языку можно услышать как у нас произносились редуцированные до их падения, ~700 лет назад. Это же какое-то чудо!

The lady has obvious problem with the Bulgarian language, her German is probably better!

As Polish most of the time I had no idea what Elisa was talking about, only when Vit was commenting something what she had said, I could finally understand her. So Vit was like a translator for me, since I could understand about 90% of his speech :)

Чешкият е по разбираем, но не защото е по-близък до българския, а защото е по-звучен. В полския език има много струпани съгласни: бж, шч, пш, жч, които затрудняват разбирането. 😊 Много ви благодаря за чудесното видео!!!💗

Bulgarian language is very Slavic! I’m Slovenian and I’ve understood both Bulgarian and Czech equally well, both very well, about 90% of both and about 70%-80% of Polish.

Такого гарного випуску давно не бачив) Дякую вам ,ви молодці)

Дом (Bulgarian) = home (English) къща (Bulgarian)= house (English)

I like how this girl just blows up with emotions and laughing :D Anyways, it was easy to spot that Polish and Czech are way closer to each other than any of them to Bulgarian. At some point Norbert and Vít understand each other pretty good due tu the fact that they have tons of collabs and stuff, so they got used to it, but despite that I see that Bulgarian vocabulary is quite different. I like that they pronounce Щ as ШТ as lots of Rusyns still do :)

Аз се уча да говоря бургаския от 71 дни. Аз разбирам всичко. Това е прекрасен език. Аз имам много радост когато се уча. Аз знам много думи. Сега аз говоря с моята най Добър приятел само бургаски.

Смотреть видео такого формата истинное наслаждение, спасибо тебе за осознание единства славянских народов!!!!

"U nas" Najlepsze słowiańskie zdanie, ever !

Норберт спросил, какие языки я понял лучше. Так вот: 1. Польский. 2. Чешский. 3. Болгарский.

Dom in Bulgaria is home as in the both others languages but is more abstract. Къща is the building used usually for home.

I love these videos. Norbert and Vít are perfect duo. Sadly i didnt understand a lot in bulgarian, at least not as much as i would wanted to. Sleduju každé video, děláte úžasnou tvorbu!

The bulgarian girl speaks bad bulgarian sorry....we have "СЕКИРА" или "БРАДВА" aslo "КОЛЕЛО" или "ВЕЛОСИПЕД......

Сейчас Эколингвист соберет неплохую такую славянскую аудиторию. Это же так круто на самом деле, искать сходства друг с другом и обретать понимание между собой. И всегда надо понимать, что славян в Европе от 300 миллионов, а общее количество говорящих на славянских языках еще больше. Спасибо за выпуски!

Я всё лучше и лучше стал понимать польский язык благодаря вам, даже не изучая его :)

Musím říct, že bulharstine jsem rozuměla málo, hodně jsem se musela soustředit. Oproti tomu polštině jsem rozuměla úplně v pohodě. Zdravím z Čech! Moc se mi líbí Tvá videa, dobrá práce!

Za gorami, za ľasami, za dolinami Pobili še dva marsane lasserami Hej marsane nebiče še, Ma marsanka dva antenky,podželiče še

Очень нравятся ваши видео ,особенно, когда понимаешь несколько языков . С удовольствием наблюдаю как люди на разных языках друг друга понимают !

Мне, как знающему русский, немного украинский и церковнославянский, проще всего понимать польский язык, потом чешский. Болгарский язык очень труден для понимания на слух, с чтением чуть лучше

Oh what a girl! Her smile is so attractive, I can't help smiling from ear to ear! Dzekuje, Norbercie!

Norbet, your videos are truly fun to watch. With regards to the Bulgarians, yes I am aware we are scattered all over the world but the Bulgarians living abroad for quite long have kinda lost many parts of the language which is absolutely normal as you tend to adapt to the country where you are. It will help to speak to people like Nadia from Dimitrovgrad. There you can see, she was quite responsive and your conversation went so much well together. Otherwise, cheers for the InterSlavic initiative!

Ja sam razumija većinu toga na sva tri jezika, pozdrav iz Dalmacije, Hrvatska. :D Vrlo dobar video.

Веднъж изберете един свестен индивид! once ))

Очень люблю ваши видео! Канал чудесный! Спасибо)

Oh Norbert, Norbert! You have such an incredible talent to find people who barely speak their language! That is the main reason why this woman was having a great, great difficulties understanding you both! It was a real torture watching this! I was so looking forward to see a video where you invite somebody who can certify knowledge of their own language ( diploma from university for example )!

OMG.. This is so frustrating. "Pasie owce" in Bulgarian is "пасе овце"( pase ovce). Almost identical to Polish. "Внимава за овцата" like she translated it means " takes care of that sheep". Isn't it ridiculous? At least she is funny. :D

Спасибо за ваши видео. Раньше я думал, что польский сильно далёк от русского, сейчас понимаю, что он куда более понятен.

Italian here, I speak Polish well and intermediate Russian. For me Bulgarian was very difficult, especially when I tried to listen without subtitles, it required a lot of guessing on the basis of a few understandable words here and there and non-linguistic clues. I think Norbert and Vitek did a very good job, I wonder how much a 'regular' monoglot Pole or Czech, without any linguistic training, would have fared.

Ja sam iz Hrvatske, i ja sam razumio od svega po nešto ali najviše sam razumio Bugarski ,to je valjda zbog toga što je Bugarski vrlo sličan Makedonskom a Makedonski ja razumijem u potpunosti ,mada ona ne govori Bugarski najbolje! Svaka čast za tvoj kanal ,odličan je! :)

Отлично они друг друга поняли, я считаю. И смогли непонятные моменты объяснить, не прибегая к английскому языку. И вообще, смешное видео получилось. Спасибо!

Норберт, Вит - страхотно видео сте направили. Dzięki za wideo! Díky za video! Elisa definitely had some serious inaccuracies (didn't know тояга=a stick; порода=breed and she used some non-existing words). Also explaining "dom" was completely wrong as we use it for home as well. It was a nice video, however people may create a wrong impression or learn improper Bulgarian, so it is worth mentioning those points. Let me know if you would like some time to test ourselves in a video. :) Поздрави!

най-разбираем ми е българският, защото съм българин :-) но разбирам отчасти и чешки, и полски. може би познанията ми по руски помагат, но изборът ви на български "контрагент" не беше най-добрият, дом си е дом и на български, не само родилен дом или детски дом. дом е там, където се прибираш вечер - моят дом е моята крепост, ако ме разбирате :-)

The stick that the shepherd carries is called in Bulgarian "Gega" (Гега) Please find people from Bulgaria who have knowledge or be linguists. The root of the Slavic languages ​​is the Old Bulgarian language. The video is great!👌❤👏

Дом го използваме както и къща!Домът е там , където живееш , а къщата е самата сграда. Не е специално и само единствено в словосъчетание както е родилен дом или старчески дом. Може да се каже ''у дома'' или ''вкъщи'' то е равностойно. Много са интересни видеата, поздрави от България 😊

Деваха из Болгарии подняла настроение!)))

Славянские языки - мы соскучились по ним! Давай больше Норберт, пожалуйста!

Отличный выпуск! Хотим ещё! Спасибо Норберт!))

I really enjoy every slavic comparison video you make, it's super interesting and educational! I never thought I might be interested in learning or getting acquainted with any slavic languages, I was like mostly interested in german languages, but what you make is truly inspiring and I have fun every time I watch such a video. Thanks!

Hey Norbert, we have "cześć" in Bulgarian too , "чест" means "honor", in Bulgarian it is also "овчаря пасе овце", the "овчар" is holding "тояга" in his hand, the dog is also "oвчарка", we have also "пес" but it has negative context like "stray dog" is "пес". "Дом" in Bulgarian is literary "home". We also have "двери" (doors) in Bulgarian, but it is an old word that no body uses any more for door, you can only see it in old texts or folk songs. Also we have "грош" for coin but it is also an old word.

Norbert, I am Bulgarian and tell you that woman doesnt understand and speak Bulgarian well.I was even ashamed to listen to her speak...You said so many words in polish which are understandable in bulgarian and she listens, watches and misunderstands. However, I congratulate you on what you do!

Рядко напоследък съм срещал канал, който толкова да ми харесва. Благодаря и продължавай все така !👍👍👍

Really love this series, hope you keep making more of these, also thank you for your efforts and care for details even like fonts' colors, really pleasant to watch. П.С. - привіт з Галичини :)

Pasie owce -- I'm surprised the Bulgarian speaker did not recognize the verb pasie, which is the same in Bulgarian "паса" and similar to the English noun "pasture", which means to graze (cattle, sheep, etc.)

Elisa, vielen Dank für deine Hilfe und deine lustige Stimmung :-))) беше чудесно ))

Oh that was fun. Thanks for video. :-)

Another excellent video. Thanks for what you're doing with this, it's wonderful,=.

Za każdym razem jak słyszę "cześć" na początku filmu to przygotowuję się, że ktoś będzie mówił po polsku, a u Ciebie zawsze jest inaczej i jestem taka zdezorientowana 😂 uwielbiam Cię 😉

Эта женщина просто прелесть 😂, такая забавная ❤️

Very nice video Norbert! Love those :)

Хорошим делом занимаешься, Эколингвист, спасибо! Интересно, познавательно. Твои труды объединяют. Наши общие праславянские предки видимо тебе помогают. Не замечал?

Большое спасибо за ваши видео, Норберт! Очень приятно смотреть и узнавать что-либо новое для себя. Понимаю, как ни странно, легко. Немного помогает, что понимаю Польский язык.

Ja sam iz Srbije, Bugarku najviše razumem.. Takodje, i Češki lepo razumem. Najteži mi je da razumem Poljaka.

Как русский 🇷🇺 я понимаю: 1) 🇧🇬 Болгарский - 80% 2) 🇨🇿 Чешский - 65% 3) 🇵🇱 Польский - 50%

To all Bulgarians: I wouldn't use "Razberam te" (which sounds like Polish "Rozbieram cie."- "I am taking your clothes off.") to a Polish person unless you intimately know the person well and are already on the third and fourth date at the very least, or this might not go well for you. :P :P :P

I doubt if your experiments with Bulgarians are quite successful. Over and over I get bit frustrated how they don't use the specific words to name things and how they forget to refer to synonyms we have that are intelligible with other Slavic languages. Eh

ОФ боже направо се изнервям...тая като не знае бълкарски какво прави там не мога да разбера....повечето думи които не ги разбираше си бяха почти същите Извинявай но кой българин не знае какво означава "овчар" или '''секира"?!!!

Спасибо за видео, Норберт и Вит!

Another great comparison! Keep the good work! I would love to see more Polish-Slovak- Something Else comparison :)

Благодаря за видеото, продължавай в същия дух! Полезен си на много хора, интересуващи се от славянските езици.

Ja sam Srbin ali vidim da ova žena nezna dobro bugarski tj slovenske sinonime , koji postoje u svim slovenskim jezicima pa i u Bugarskom ! A gde ih nadješ Norberte !!?? :D :D Da ne znaju dobro svoj rodjeni jezik ! Kao i onu našu srpkinju / serbku !! Svaka ti čast ! :D Dom je Home / House u svim slovenskim jezicima !! Pa čak i u anglosaksonskim !! Proto - indoevropska reč ! Moja baba je govorila "idem si dom" , pa i svi mi i dan - danas ! - živim / meškam inače v mestu Niš , 100 km od Bugarske granice ! Iako je na oficijelnom srpskom i kuća kao i na staropoljskom , koliko znam ! :) ))) Welcome to the pleasure dome - FGTH ! Koren je isti ! / Stejni ! Pas je pas , sveslovensko slovo / reč ! I mi imamo i slovo kuče kao i svi južni sloveni (!) ali to je više "slengovsko" slovo .. I tako dalje ! To treba govornik bilo kog slovenskog jezika u momentu da se seti !! Koji je adekvatan sinonim a ima ih garantovano !! Ako zaista na dnevnoj bazi govori neki od naših krasnih , veoma bliskih slovenskih jezika koji se veoma , veoma malo razlikuju realno i generalno i veomaa bogatih sinonimima ! :) Pišem na srb(p)skom jer mislim da možete sve da me odlično razumete , kao i ja SVE VAS !! :) )) P.S. Čak i takozvani "lažni prijatelji" u stvari / in fact nisu totalno bez medjusobne konekcije . Koren je stejni ali je slovo evoluiralo u drugom smislu , što je i normalno za oko 1000+ leta ! :) ))

I love these videos! Well done with them! Would be happy to be of any help if needed!

Dobra robota Norbert. Podoba mi się co robisz

"I jak sie nazywaja ci ludzie ktorzy tam stoja" - as a Bulgarian speaker, this is the first Polish sentence I've seen in these videos that I completely understood every word of. "And what would you call the people who are standing there". It's not that the words are the same in Bulgarian, but they are similar to ones that mean similar things, and grammatically/in terms of word order it's almost the same as how it would be constructed in Bulgarian -- "И как ще наречеш (ти) хората (людите) които стоят там?"

Felicitaciones, Norbert. And well done as usual. As I've stated in other comments I greatly appreciate your fun though hard work. This time I noticed some hesitation to understand some words on the side of the Bulgarian speaker, but who wouldn't be nervous trying to comprehend two similar but different languages at the same time, plus thinking in your own language also at the same time? Maybe this is the first occasion she's attempted to carry out this type of challenge.

Все три языка понятны равнозначно, ну может польский немного больше в понимании. Вообще, чем больше смотрю видео Норберта, тем больше понимаю польский язык - красивый!

Дом (dom) means home while къща (kushta) is house. She wanted to explain that we use the word for homes like foster home but the explanation was confusing in my opinion.

Между нас, българите има твърде много диалекти и съкращения на много думи и изрази от мързеливост да изговаряме целите думи/изречения, а и да направим разговора по-casual. По този начин сме се отдалечили от книжовния език, но той е изключително богат и красив. Аз разбирах чешкия на 40%, полския на 30%, но ако има субтитри разбирах всичко :D Greetings to all Slavs

Мой мозг немного сломался, первые несколько секунд в названии упорно читал more как море. Видимо потому что ожидал славянский язык.

I learnt Czech about 5 yrs ago. I've been to Poland once and I find Polish somehow similar to the Czech, also in this video. I can't say the same about the Bulgarian language although I was expecting the opposite. I remember meeting with two Bulgarian ladies almost an year ago and I was stunned with the great similarity between the two languages as I was able to understand most of their conversation back then.

Wow it's been a while since quit learning Bulgarian and I'm impressed coz I still understand it a little bit I'm gonna try it again😁I hope this time it works

I'm Bulgarian and I think that this girl speaks very rarely Bulgarian. Even though I do speak and understand other Slavic languages(Russian, Slovak and Serbian mainly), if I try to put myself in the shoes of a normal Bulgarian person, who doesn't know another Slavic language, I can't imagine not being able to understand words like "pes" and "sekira"..

Здравствуй, Норберт !

Убрать артикли, добавить падежи - и понимать болгарский будет не сложнее, чем украинский. Когда читаю, понимаю почти всё по-болгарски.

Весёлая женщина из Болгарии с заразительным смехом - это супер! Классный выпуск, делайте чаще!😆🙂

I can say that Czech is actually more closer to my language Bulgarian, partially in vocabulary, partially in sounding, sometimes Polish is more close by these things to Bulgarian, it's different, but in any case there is always a opportunity to understand any of them because of their similarities! Also I wanna thank you for the another cool conversation, I love wathing this type of videos! Greetings! Dzienki bardzo! :)

Тая какви ги говори дом било винаги втора дума от нещо ??? Намерете някой от Северозападна България и ще е по-лесно

What a great video super entertaining

Our languages was the same one many years ago. After that some of us split apart and made different countries. Maybe Czech and Polish have more of the old common language that we talked back then. From the same family are Serbian, Macedonian, Slovenian, Slovak, Ukraine, Russian and more. After all we are all brothers and sisters, no matter the country we live in! :)

I am bulgarian cool video

С детства владею двумя языками - белорусский и русский. Мне кажется, что если бы я не знал белорусский, то вообще бы ничего не понял. А русский трохи помог только в нескольких словах болгарского языка. А так около половины понятно, а с учётом визуализации речи - ещё больше. Когда читаю, то мне легче понимать.

Wow, it’s pretty crazy and incredible how you can have three people speaking 3 different languages but still being able to understand each other if speaking slowly with further clarifications!

I'm Macedonian and I understood the Czech and Polish better than the Bulgarian lady did. Though I understood the Bulgarian very well otherwise.

Anyway, i thought bulgarian would be way more different but for me as a slovak native speaker the biggest problem is strong accent they have. Polish and czech (of course) were very easy, could understan them both without problem.

There was bits and peaces of all 3 languages that are present in Serbian as well like "Ovca(sheep)ovčar(Shepard),ovčarski pas(Shepard Dog)Njemački ovčar(German Shepard,a really nice breed of dogs,one I have)sjekira(axe)ograda (Fence)vuna(wool)bijelo(white) tkanina(cloath) We also have šnjura(line/thread)but is not often used,muž is a husband,dom is a home Bulgarian "stol" is similar to Serbian "sto"(not to be confused with 100,which is written same,just different pronunciation),"stolica" would be chair,literally translating to English as "100 faces"...

Still haven't watched the video but i know it will be great!

Just to clear it out for you: The stick used to handle the livestock is called: Gega/Гега & Sekira is a battle Axe and Bradva is Axe for woodcutting in Bulgarian. Anyway great video looking forward to your next videos!

каква раса? порода / какая раса? по болгарски порода.

In general I like the video. Thanks Norbert! For me it is pretty clear that the lady had no previous knowledge of any Czech or Polish language and she was also quite nervous. Therefore her performance was far from the best but on the other hand quite geniune. Also, let's not forget that you have very good overview of other slavic languages and Vit is also quite familiar with Polish. Considering all that it went as expected. Even better then expected because she was simply not on your level :). That's why, to make it even you need to invite either bulgarian philology student (which will be quite hard to find) or another none-other-slavic-languages-familiar polish and czech participants :).

Овчарската "пръчка" се нарича "гега". The shepherds stick is called "gega" in Bulgarian. The lady did not know quite a few of the Bulgarian words. I guess she might have been living outside of Bulgaria for some time.
