Nikola Tesla, the greatest scientist of all time, is the most famous Serb, and the most famous Ukrainians are Mila Kunis and the Klitschko boxers. Mila Jovovic is half Serbian and half Ukrainian.

In the previous film, when talking about dolphin, she put in some unnecessary stuff, like ,,o ile mi wiadomo,, which only made it all less legible.

She spoke Polish, what did you expect? Anyway, how was she supposed to answer? Besides, since they knew each other, it was logical that she tried not to say the obvious. The most obvious answers were given by a girl from Ukraine and Serbia when asked about famous people, so it couldn't be easier. Błaszczykowski is a well-known figure in Europe, but I don't know about the US. And Luka Doncic is not that famous, but he should certainly be a more famous person in the US than the Polish footballer. Anyway, all the answers were on the same level. So I don't quite understand your comment. I guess the idea of these movies is to show utterances in these languages in a natural way. So I don't understand how they would say otherwise. If a Polish woman gave her name, she would immediately guess where she comes from. Polish dumplings are very famous in the world, including Lewandowski, so her friend only made it a bit more difficult for her. Which didn't help to confuse her anyway. In my opinion, Slovenian was the most difficult to guess.

@@kazepl8988 Blaszczykowski is not known in Europe, moreover, in Poland he is not even remotely as known as Lewandowski. I could have mentioned my neighbour's last name to the same effect.

@@fandzejka9540 I'm giving facts, not crap like you. In the US they may not know, but in Europe they do. In addition to Lewandowski, Wojtek Szczęsny and Zieliński are also mentioned. Of course, they are far from Lewandowski's popularity, because they know him even in Mongolia. Either way, if you don't know something, don't say anything. Good advice. ;)

@@fandzejka9540 Kuba is relatively well-known to anybody who follows football, which is most people in Europe to at least a basic extent. Also, Blaszczykowski sounds super-Polish anyway; you don't need to know him for it to be a hint.

I dont feel bad for anyone honestly, everyone on this world know that ukrainian and russian languages are pretty the same, so I understand why Shannon kept thinking Anya was russian. She had no clues to say ukraine rather than russia so she just said Russian because she worked with russian people in the past and thought it was the same.

I guess she didn't got the name, because she has just seen it written. There's a difference between hearing and seeing a word, especially if you are not used to a language or even a native speaker. But with the rest I'm with you. As a Bosniak war/genocide refugee (now migrant), it's a triggering moment when people think and say I'm Serbian or Croatian. Can't help it at this moment. But through my pain and trauma I have to remind myself, that not all Serbs and Croats are cruel brutal fashists and for everyone who is, there are many more who are nice, hospitable and understanding and also just want peace between our three ethnicities like I do. It's a slow process though. In these videos for instance I'm rooting for Draga. She seems to be nice, funny and intelligent.

Believe me, we will forget the differences! Even Romanians have trouble sometimes when they hear the two languages just as the Hungarians and they are neighbours. Slovakian share so many similarities with ukrainian and still i had a slovakian girlfriend who sometimes shuffled the two. German speakers have no ears to the eastern slavic languages.

@@eliasziad7864 Well, there are ways to easily distinguish between them even if you don't speak them (though it's harder for Russian and Belarusian, even I, speaking Russian, have to keep listening for a while to know that somebody's talking in Belarusian 😆) but without any knowledge it has to be hard, as they are all parts of one subgroup.

Ukrainian sounds nothing like Russian. Polish sounded more Russian than the Ukrainian did here!

I mean, Russia is the largest and most relevant Slavic country and Ukrainian is a very similar language.

​@@Jdzo268 Ukrainian has more in common with Polish than Russian.

I noticed that many people totaly ignore news and they are not interested in politics at all and "some war in Europe" is just one of many news for them, not interesting I guess. But it's still weird when Zelensky is calling with Biden all the time and you open internet and there is Zelensky everywhere. But I also can't distinguish Ukrainian from Russian, I need longer example and focus on H sound, accent depends on speaker, it won't help you much, some Ukrainians sound totaly Russian to me.

​@xohyuuділення слов'янських мов на південну, західну та східну - то повна дурня та застаріле мракобісся, нав'язане російською імперією аби тримати українців та білорусів в рамках міфу про походження їх мов від російської (що є неправдою).

@@tilenHD Pozdravljeni, jaz sem iz Rusije, iz mesta Belgorod. Govorim in pišem lahko skoraj vse slovanske jezike, vsi so enaki. Zakaj ste se odločili, da je slovenski jezik bližji zahodnim Slovanom

But most of people just can't distunguish Russian and Ukrainian, I also can't even when I am a slavic speaker too. But what is super ridiculous and not understandable for me is when my language (Czech) is confused for Russian because accent is totaly different.

​@@PidalinI'm Polish. Of course, you are right, I also encountered the fact that my Polish language was confused with Russian. We will distinguish our languages ​​from each other because we know that we see these differences (for me, too, it is not a problem to distinguish Russian from Ukrainian). I wrote only in the context of what Russia is doing in the homeland of this nice girl.

I can hardly imagine why it would be otherwise. The reason why Ukrainian is often confused with Russian is the overwhelming representation of Russia in the international arena before Ukraine's Independence. Plus, the Russian Empire and then the Soviet Union did everything to make Ukrainian disappear. There were laws that prohibited the language, dictionaries were censored 'cause some Ukrainian words were considered nationalistic (as if that was even possible), poets and artists who wrote in Ukrainian or about Ukraine as a distinct culture were murdered by the regime, Ukrainian-language schools have been closed one by one in a span of decades, not to mention one or two genocides. And modern Russian continues this legacy by saying that the Ukrainian language is not real, that it is a spoiled version of Russian, and that every Ukrainian is just a Russian who cast their roots aside and must be punished for doing so. I've been born Ukrainian after the Independence, in 1997, actually. I've been speaking Ukrainian my who life and some Russian-speaking dudes mocked me for doing so. I've been getting low ratings in taxi services because I refused to speak a language I did not like (Russia) and some people said slurs to me when I wore ethno-styled elements. During childhood, there were incidents when children who went to a Russian-language school threw sand into my hair because I was talking 'fancy' and they could not understand me. Later I learned that their grandmother was speaking Ukrainian, so they actually understood everything I said, they just copied their father's mannerisms. This attitude originates from the Soviet policy where you are rather Russian or a nationalist and a Western spy. It got better with time. People in Ukraine know both Ukrainian and Russian but because of this hostile uprising, some prefer to speak Russian, for it is safer that way. During the past 20 years, people started speaking Ukrainian more. There's a law that supports the transition by making the services industry obligated to deliver services in Ukrainian (the switch to Russian is possible at the customer's request). Nobody attacks people for speaking Ukrainian, so they became braver and more comfortable with it. Russia does not like that so it brought up the narrative that Ukrainians are prohibiting Russian or attacking other Russian-speaking citizens, so that people with Soviet mentality go outside and start messing things up. So yeah... when a Ukrainian is confused for Russian, we immediately think of all these things and they upset us. We know that others do not mean to make us feel miserable, and that's why we do not say anything. It still hurts, though. The only thing we can change about that is to be more proactive as Ukrainians and visit a therapist, maybe

@@tinnasell4161 You overthinked it, people don't think it's Russian because of politics, they just don't hear the difference and there is more Russian speakers, so obviously, they think it's probably Russian. But most of "east slavic speakers" you meet are actually Ukrainians or people from those former USSR somethingStan countries who don't even have Russian as their native language.

@@Pidalin I did not phrase it properly, my appologies. I've ment that it is what Ukrainians assume when they try to explain the origins of this confusion. Ukraine and Russia are in an informational war against one another after all. But I agree with everything else you've said.

Don't worry, there are always adequate and understanding people, and there are offended by something, it's just the time.

As as Czech, I can understand Slovak, to some degree I can understand Polish, but I can't understand Ukrainian at all. Btw jest is archaic in Czech. And Czech version is I name myself Pavel, or I'm Pavel. In Slovak it's I call myself Pavel. This time Serbian was pretty close - I'm ... I can't tell. Weirdly Serbian is sometimes easier to understand than Polish and sometimes impossible. I guess Polish soft accent makes it hard to understand, but words are closer.

and so beautiful

Amerykanie mają własny świat, i nie za bardzo interesują się tym, co się dzieje w Europie, a sportem tym bardziej nie można od każdego wymagać, żeby się interesował gdyby nie to, że u nas cały czas trąbią w serwisach informacyjnych o tym, że taki i taki zawodnik wygrał taki czy taki turniej, to ja też bym nawet nie kojarzył z nazwiska kto to jest, bo tenis mnie ani trochę nie interesuje.

Zgadzam się z @miosnikgentoo3598 i potwierdzam, że nie mam pojęcia kim jest Djoković.

@@stanislok.7106 Tak samo nie wiem kto to

Americans. That's not surprising. They won't even show you on a map where these countries are. Another world, other interests. I never watched tennis in my life, but I've heard of Djokovic and I know where he's from.

Sorry, a Costa Rican passing here. I know who is Zelensky, it's impossible not havong heard of him, but I don't know who is Djokovic, since I'm not interested in sports even in my country.

did you know the president of Iraq when there was a war? do you know anything about politicians from Israel and Palestine etc. I doubt it, so shut it kido.

Zelensky is more Russian than ukrainian, his native language is Russian.

Mexico and Canada.

No need to say "foreigners". They were invaded by Russia, to be clear. One country invading another's sovereignty and killing people there in violation of numerous international treaties and agreements, not to mention committing numerous war crimes, is truly evil.

yall are crying over this not realising ukrainian and russian are very similiar languages

@@realmadrid9432 yeah, so similar that ruzzians, descendents of Finno-Ugric tribes can't understand neither Ukrainian nor any other Slavic language. Except of Bulgarian, because artificial ruzzian language is mix of old Bulgarian church, Finno-Ugric and Turkic languages of their former Mongol-Tartarian masters.

I think she was just malnourished. She is so incredibly pale, too. Maybe she's trying to look Korean.

​@@realmadrid9432so similar that Ruskis can't understand us without previous exposure

I assume that after she called a Ukrainian a Russian (although the languages are very different), it was no longer surprising when she called Sweden and the Netherlands Slavic countries.

​@@NickB9Wbut russian and ukrainian aren't that different,its okay to get confused with them when you dont speak any of them,but it feels like she even didn't know any south slavic language,so she just named random European languages

@@kleyzzit Am I the only one who sees a huge difference between Ukrainian and Russian? They sound completely different. Just like other Slavic languages. Even Belarusian, which is 97% similar to Ukrainian, sounds different to me. The girl is 100% ignorant not only of languages, but also of the nationalities of Europe.

​@@kleyzzitsounds like your puking out of your mouth sir

@@NickB9W dude i have full country of russians and ukraines since war started...i don't see the difference at all.. literally same language, i can understand both. Poland is on another level. I can't understand them, maybe some words 😅

She is learning French for 7 years, which means she is not learning, after 7 years you should be a master in French or very close to a native speaker.

@@kurosumomo I learned German for five or six years cause it was mandatory. I can order schnitzel and beer. Then I can catch some words that are similar to English or local slang. Learning language without a need to ever use it and lack of motivation is almost pointless. Even my English is getting different - after 15 years of watching youtube videos, I can understand it. But writing proper sentence containing conditionals, not omitting articles which do not exist in Czech, using continuous tense properly (which, kind of, ceased to exist in Czech) needs some effort.

I have heard Djokovic's name many times but I don't remember where he comes from. I don't follow tennis that much. But Zelensky, he has been on the news almost every day for a year.

I’m actually not American but I didn’t know the tennis player, but Ofc I did know Zelenskyy

Why should anybody follow the war that's happening in a failed state???

@@eladbenm He has the most grand slam wins in history of the sport, a living legend of tennis

She heard Volodymyr Zelensky in Ukranian, a language she's not familiar with at all. She might have heard it as Volskfdaflajfslasakfssky. But, we get it: you're super smart and would ACE this challenge

They are similar. That's a fact. Not only Slavic languages, but East Slavic.

@@eava708 to my ear Ukrainian is closer to Polish and surprisingly close to Slovak with some features of Czech that I wasn't expecting at all. Years ago I learnt to sing Shchedryk in Ukrainian and I was surprised by how dissimilar to Russian it was. Much more like a polish/slovak with a lot more /ee/ sounds than any other slavic language.

@@afiiik1 Yes, Ukrainian is also very similar to Polish. They are neighboring languages, they have a lot of similaritie (70% vocabulary). But Russian and Belarusian are still the most similar ones to Ukrainian. They were one language for the longest time until they broke up into several

You are right. When Go_A went to Eurovision 2021 to represent Ukraine with "Shum" russians couldn't understand the song not only when they heard it in the official video, but Even through available Ukrainian subtitles. They asked for translation as they simply couldn't get what's going on. Then the story was repeated with Stefania by Kalush Orchestra next year, They understood nothing except "mama Stefania" despite available text.

@@eava708 i just wish Russian wasn't the default language for guessing slavic languages. It is the least typically slavic, least mutually intelligible language of them all🙄

I don't think they sound beautiful at all, quite harsh. But to each their own lol
