Croatian Language | Can Ukrainian, Bulgarian and Polish speakers understand it? 

саме так !)

Basically 99% Ukrainians speak 2 Slavic languages, and ~20% speak 3, usually Polish, Czech or Slovak. Personally I speak Ukrainian, Russian, Polish and Belarusian.

I think the Polish and Bulgarian ladies have an English accent?

It was much harder for me to understand than it should've been. Similar to the video with the belarussian guy, this format is a little weird. Instead of speaking slowly and clarifying every unknown word in a 1 on 1 conversation, they have these 1 vs 3 conversations where they speak fast and dump a lot of information at once. Unless the speaker speaks slowly, formally and clearly (and provides synonyms or explanations), I'd have trouble understanding ANY slavic language (maybe except Macedonian since it's almost Bulgarian).

Bulgarian with Macedonian have the most different grammar, even though both of them still have 2 cases remaining (nominative - paired with definite articles) and vocative (which Russian and Belarusian lack of it). This is why for most Slavic people find Bulgarian with Macedonian to be the hardest for understanding but that's due to the distance and the grammar. Macedonian might be slightly easier than Bulgarian, because of the accent being more similar with Serbo-Croatian. But yes it's true. However Bulgarian is older than Russian. Bulgarian and Macedonian lack of infinitive forms like other Slavic languages, even though Bulgarian used to have at some point but it's lost from like 15th century where cases started dropping from the language, but still accusative, dative can be seen in mostly pronouns and some words are with instrumental case leftover. And also Bulgarian is also the only Slavic language where it lacks ''je'' sounds in native words and after consonants like others.

You understand it better because of the accent and grammar which are more similar to Polish, Ukrainian. Bulgarian is mostly similar with Russian but keep in mind that Bulgarian and Macedonian have the most different grammar from all Slavic languages, and even if they still have some cases, most of the time they are replaced with definite articles like how some Northern Russian dialects have that.

Yeah, north-western Bulgarian practically forms a dialect continuum with south-eastern Serbian. I'm from Sofia and once had an odd situation when it was easier for me to understand serbians in a village close to the border than a bulgarian policeman in a town on our side of the border. Back in the late 00s using internet abroad was a no-no and our GPS map on a memory card was a bit outdated, so we had to ask for directions like in the old days. We got a bit lost and missed a turn to reach the regular Gradina/Kalotina pass, so we kept going south and had to find an obscure border crossing - Strezimirovci. I asked locals in some vilage where is the border crossing and understood absolutly everything. Then once back in Bulgaria, we asked a policemen in the town of Tran for the way to Sofia and just kept blinking at his response. He repeated it - still nothing.

@@andrzejmikolajczyk9561 It's not that low as like German and English for example. German and English only share 51% similarities, while Polish and Croatian share probably like 65%. This not being mutual inteligible comes because we are not used to that dialect of what is based of the literature form of each Slavic language. Just like how Romance languages are dialects of Latin, same goes for Slavic languages that share 1 common ancestory and they are just like dialects of Proto-Slavic. If you get more exposed to every Slavic language every day it's actually quite easy. Well, in terms of writing is different compared to speech. And not to mention that not everyone is using the Latin alphabet so learning Cyrillic also may require some effort or like understanding Bulgarian and Macedonian's grammar because they are the most different from all Slavic languages, when it comes to that. But in common words every Slavic languages shares at least 60% similar words.

Дали ще е сръбски, хърватски, босненски или черногорски - няма значение, те говорят на почти един и същ език, както ние с македонците.

И той се различава доста от останалите диалекти, като чакавски, щокавски, които се говорят в бившата Югославия, предимно от сърбите, хърватите, босненците и черногорците. Фактически хърватите говорят малко по-меко от сърбите, сърбите от 4-те сърбохърватски езици говорят най-твърдо и те се доближават по диалект до нас (по-точно до западните ни диалекти, тъй като стандартният български е базиран повече на източните диалекти, където говорът е по-мек). Например: На сръбски ''промени'' е като при нас само дето при тях ударението е на О, а при хърватите е ''промийени.'' Или пък ''млеко'' е при сърбите, а при хърватите е ''млийеко'' И също така диалектното ни ''где'' при хърватите става на ''гдье,'' както на руски. Хърватският ти звучи естествено, защото звучи като все едно да слушаш някой западен български диалект, в който падежите и инфинитивната форма са се запазили, където при нас освен звателният и тук-таме винителният и дателният падеж - сме ги заменили с определителни членове. Украинците използват архаична българска азбука, които сме имали до късните 1800 години с ''є, i, ї'' да не кажа, че някои от думите им са архаизми за нас като например ''добрий день,'' където са изменили И-то да бъде като Ы, както на руски се променя, когато е пред Ж, Ш или Ц в думата Франция например на руски се прознася като Францыя, макар и да не го пишат така, защото сърбохърватските езици, включително и македонският са базирани на фонетика, докато руският и българският на морфеми и затова писането на руски и български е по-сложно спрямо тях. А и също хърватите имат диалект, наречен ''икавица,'' където ят преминава в И. Например: място, место, мьесто - става на мисто, както при украинското ''мiсто.'' Украинският има тази стойност никога да не обеззучават съгласните в края на думите, както при сърбохърватските езици, докато при останалите, включително и българския ги обеззвучаваме: хляб става на хляп, докато на украински ''хлiб'' се произнася, както го виждаш. Също, както словенския, словашкия в края на думата или при В със струпани съгласни става на беларуското ''ў,'' който е w звук. Поляците и кашубите са единствените, които са запазили носовките, докато при всички останали славянски езици са загубили тази стойност на тези звуци. Да не кажа, че до 1945 сме използвали ''ѫ,'' който е имал стойността на полско и кашубското ą, но постепенно сме го загубили и е станало в най-обикновено ''ъ,'' което отпада от българския език изцяло през 1945, както и ѣ, който е обединявал източните и западните диалект в едно цяло. И разбира се Ь преди сме го писали в края на думите, но сега сме го ограничили да бъде само пред О, както украинците го правят ''сьогоднi'' и Ъ-то никога да не се пише в края на думите.

Bulgarian is hard because you don't understand the grammar of it. And you know how cases work in Russian, Polish but you don't know how definite articles work in Bulgarian.

@@HeroManNick132 i (speaker of shtokavian croatian that is featured in the vid) dont know the grammar of bulgarian either, yet that doesnt make it hard. cro is just closer to polish than bulgarian. Bulgarian is the most distant to polish. Another really distant combo is probs slovene and russian

@@lil_weasel219 Croatian is closer to Polish only by grammar. Most of Croats can't understand Polish unlike Bulgarian. Bulgarian has many more similar words than Polish. The only other similar thing that Polish and Croatian share is ''Ć'' that Bulgarian used to had before 1945 but no longer. And just like Russian ''ж, ш, ч'' are never soften but in Russian is ''ж, ш, ц'' instead. Bulgarian still has cases (even if linguists say they aren't any) just only nominative, paired with definite articles and vocative case remained. Many case leftovers in adverbs and pronouns can be still spotted but these cases are rarely used, due to Bulgarian and ''Macedonian'' being analytic Slavic languages, while others are still syntetic. However what is truly missing is the infinitive form which both Bulgarian and Macedonian don't have anymore and sometimes like how Serbian does we do it ''да + verb''

@lil_weasel219 "cro is just closer to polish than bulgarian" non-sense

@@dstr769 Croatian is closer only grammatically to Polish because you both have 7 cases, while Bulgarian has only 2 cases and it uses definite articles. But I agree Bulgarian is much more mutually intelligible to Croat, than Polish. Polish has many hushing and nasal sounds which are harder to understand to most Slavic speakers, even though Poles love to go on vacation in Croatia. Not to mention the false friends in Polish.

Polish is like Belarusian that replaces Z with Dź sound and unlike Belarusian it replaces A with O and uses nepolnoglasie like South Slavic languages and not like polnoglasie like Eastern Slavic languages where ''glava/głowa'' becomes ''golova.''

Last time when I checked: English, Irish, Portugese or Neapolitan were considered "Western European" languages. And somehow they also have vowel reduction ;) Vowel reduction is not East vs West of Europe or Slavic vs not-Slavic but simply Russian thing. Also Bulgarians have it, at least they read stressed ъ differently than unstressed ъ.

@@magpie_girl3741 That is because before 1945 stressed ''ъ'' or known as wide ''ъ'' was written with ''ѫ'' which was supposed to be nasal sound that makes the Polish ''ą'' but the nasal sounds were dropped completely from Bulgarian in 1920s (except in some dialects in Northern Greece that kept it the last). Nowadays ''ѫ'' was replaced with regular ''ъ'' and sometimes ''а'' and we had also ''ѣ'' which was changed to ''я, е'' Also ''а/я'' have 3 pronunciations: /a/ when is stressed (but not always) /ɐ/ when is unstressed (mostly) /ə/ some words or mostly at the end of words.

During his description he said "интензивни спортове" or something like that. I'm pretty sure it's the same in Russian. It's the same in Bulgarain at least. Idk how people missed that. That basically gave it away right then and there.

@@ent2220 in Russian it’s интенсивный спортивный or smth like that. But I thought it was a boat but not a paddle. Both a boat and a paddle may have smth to do with интенсивный спортивный))

Колко по-труден? Най-голямата разлика между сръбски и хърватски са няколко думи, както с българския и македонския и също, че прибавят повече j в думите, което го прави говорът по-мек спрямо сърбите, както в източните диалекти заменяме ''е'' с ''я.''

jakim cudem berek jest mniej uzywany??? pierwszy raz slysze takie slowo jak ganiak

Nobody says "ganiak", lol. The only word for that I've ever heard and used myself is "berek".

Ja osobiście nigdy nie słyszałam wersji ganiak czy gonito. Może kiedyś tam ktoś wspomniał o "grze w gonionego/ganianego" (choć możliwe, że przeczytałam to w jakieś starej książce), ale dla mnie od dziecka zawsze to był po prostu "berek". Tak samo mówiło się w moim otoczeniu.

@@annafirnen4815 Agree. When I read "ganiak" I needed to google it. And not even Polish Google knows this word ;) 'Ganiany' yes, but 'ganiak'? Maybe it's some regional school slang?

Interesting fact. Under the influence of the TV series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", children in Ukraine came up with an interesting version of this game. First, one vampire player chases everyone else and "turns" everyone he catches into vampires. At some point in the game (usually when half the players are turned into vampires) someone declares himself the vampire slayer and chases the vampires to get them out of the game.

Защо всеки руснак обожава толкова сърбите? 🤣

Interslavic is really very understandable (to me as a speaker of Russian). I don't think such a video would be too interesting, because the listeners would just immediately answer.

Am glad that am not a slav because the reason there are a lot languages because slavs hate eachother and like to split

​@@TycTycHehethere is a video like this one but with interslavic

@@TycTycHehe yes, that may be true, but it may also be interesting for people who don't know Interslavic and how it choses which words to use. As a non-Slav, I'd be interested in learning basic Interslavic so that I could travel to various Slav nations.

@@SionTJobbins I really don't get it why some Non-Slavs want to become Slavs, despite the fact that many Slavs don't want to be Slavs?
