Is Polish similar to Serbo-Croatian? Polish Serbo-Croatian Conversation 

I am under huge impression of Nando, how much he strived to speak clearly and to be understood!

I am slovak born and living in Serbia, Vojvodina, and I speak serbian and slovak every day. I can understand polish very well.

Ja sam Bosanac i ovo je i moj jezik, kako god mu ime bilo. Pozdrav svim Slavenima :)

How Serbs and Poles get along: Pole: Kurwa? Serb: Kurva! instant BFFS

It's literally CRAZY how I can understand almost everything just because the speak clearly and slowly !!!

As a Slovak I can perfectly understand them both. Great :)

I'm learning Bulgarian and I only understand the Serbian speaker. The good thing is that I can understand almost everything he says :D

Ja sam mogao da razumem neki srpski. Ali nažalost polski, je vrlo težak za mene... Ponekad sam mogao da razumem malo reči na poljiskom, ali srpski bolje! 😊👍🏻🇷🇸🇵🇱 Evo je, Španac sam. 😀🇪🇸💪🏻

Slowo "kraj" po chorwacku može mieć trzech ružnich znaczenia: 1) kraj = koniec (end), 2) kraj = okolica, strona, kraina (teritory, land), 3) kraj, pokraj= obok, okolo, przy (kraj nje=at her [side]). Država=panstwo (state), from verb "držati" (= to hold something)po polsku trzymać, mieć, posiadać. Po chorwacku "mjesto" = 1) miejsce (place); 2) miejscowošć, osiedle (small town). Po polsku: miasto = grad (city). Dzienkuje bardzo. Do zobaczenia. Serdecznie pozdrowienie z Chorwacji polnocnej.

I'm from Brazil, my ancesters were polish settlers and I could understand almost everything you were talking. Pozdrawiam od Brazylij

I've been on a dinner with friends from Russia, Belarus and Slovakia. It was funny because for example when I as a Pole didn't understand the word in Slovak, the guy from Belarus didn't have that problem. It was really a fun.

This nice man from Serbia =Barcelona :) is very INTELLIGENT !

This guy is lost. "Kraj" is a legit term in Serbo-Croatian to describe an area. Yes, "kraj" means "end", but also mean an area or landscape = prelep kraj, Timočka KRAJina, KRAJolik.

In Russian the word край has three meanings : 1) land,country 2) side 3) finish ,end. And the most common word for ‘end’ is конец ( like Polish koniec)

Well in Croatian and Serbian you can say: "Rodni kraj." and it means place you were born. Also we have words like krajolik, krajobrazba itd.

Great video! It's a fun to listen how you guys switch between three languages and I understand them all.

Nando was great! He spoke so clearly and explained Serbo-Croatian very well! Whenever people are confused about Serbo-Croatian I explain it to them the same way that Nando does by making an analogy to English. Calling Serbian, Croatian and Bosnian separate languages would be like insisting that Australians speak Australian, Americans speak American and the English speak English. It's all the same language and they're all mutually intelligible, but there are regional differences. You cannot claim that English and American are distinct languages because they use "chips" and "fries" differently or because they have varied accents. Ultimately any British English speaker will understand any American English speaker, and the same can be said of Croatians, Serbians and Bosnians understanding one another.

there is some magic in those older videos from ecolinguist which have no transcript and no translation, but at some moment you just START understanding them both (i am russian)

ZAWSZE DZIĘKUJĘ BARDZO for these kinds of videos, it's sooo interesting, unique, and educational!! Keep going!! Спасибо из Парижа ))

Love Poland , beautiful culture, beautiful country, beautiful people and language i can understand :D

Some additional information about Croatian language: I read somewhere funny definition of language (What is language?): It is a dialect with an army and a navy of its own. ..(or something like that). It seems that official definition "what is language" and "what is dialect" is different in linguistics' tradition of each country; for example, I was told that in Poland they consider: if some tongue has a written form of existence then it is a language, not a dialect. In Croatia, where I come from, we are taught in school that Croatian language has three dialects: kaikavian (in north-west), shtokavian (eastern and central parts of country) and chakavian (on the Adriatic coast); (ča, kaj, što= meaning: what?). Of course, modern standard language was made in the middle of 19th century, based on shtokavian dialect as the most widespread and the most intelligibile to speakers of other dialects, and because of prestige of baroque poets from Dubrovnik, as Ivan Gundulić, whose language is shtokavian. But, the interesting fact is that the earliest Croatian literature was written in chakavian dialect, in the cities on the sea- coast, begining from 14th century, and especially during the renaissance period (15th and 16th century) when lived Marko Marulić, "father of Croatian literature". Few years ago (from now), the third Croatian dialect, Kaikavian, was recognized by international linguistic association and gained official status as a LANGUAGE! with official designation, because kajkavian has written texts going back to 15th and 16th century. Golden age of kajkavian litterature was during 17th and 18th century when it was named as "horvacki". Second "golden age" in kajkavian litterature is 20th century when kajkavian was used to produce poetry of high artistic level, for example: "Balade Petrice Kerempuha" by Krleža; Fran Galović (from Podravina region) wrote liric poems "Z mojih bregov" ( From my hills); Domjanić (from Prigorje region around Sv. Ivan Zelina) wrote "Kipci i popevke"; and Ivan Goran Kovačić (born in Gorski Kotar region) wrote "Ognji i rože". These are 4 most excellent poetry works in kajkavian language, and all of those are written in 1st half of 20th century.

Ох, сербско-хорватский, услада для слуха! Очень люблю этот язык, он кажется мне таким складным, таким красивым и отчётливым... На нём очень много красивых песен в жанре поп-фолк. =) Особенно хороши в этом языке слова с маленьким количеством гласных, кстати. Интересно звучат.

Jaaaaako zanimljivi snimci!! Bravo!

That’s so nice I’m learning the two languages amazing 😻❤️🌷

W takich rozmowach fajnie jest robić tak jak Nando tzn. używać archaizmów :D. To bardzo pomaga na przykład gród zamiast miasto bo w sumie kiedyś nie było miast a były grody z których dopiero później wyrosły "miasta" ;). Albo słowo mnogo jakiego dzisiaj używa się rzadko a jest zrozumiałe dla wszystkich Słowian. Bardzo dobra jakość obydwu można bardzo dużo zrozumieć z serbskochorwackiego Nando mówi bardzo wyraźnie i o to chodzi!

This conversation didn't go as badly as I thought it would. I understood almost everything the Serbo-Croatian person was saying, mainly because I have been learning Croatian/Serbian for a few years now, but even if I would have never given myself any practice to learn the language, I would still be able to understand a decent amount of what he is talking about 👍 Oh, and did I mention I absolutely love the Balkan countries? 😍🇭🇷🇷🇸🇸🇮🇲🇰🇧🇬🇧🇦

I really liked your guessing game with the Bosnian because you provided subtitles in Bosnia, Polish and English, so I was able to follow and benefit from it. Without the subtitles, I'm lost. Sorry!

The interesting thing is that all the standard variants of Serbo-Croatian are based on the same dialect, so the actual differences between standard Serbian and standard Croatian are less than between different Serbian dialects. Same thing with Croatian dialects.

Ubielwiam ci widea. Dziękuję za czas, który bioresz dla ich robienia. Języki śłowiański - najpiękniejszi na świecie!

Polish sounds to Serbs like: bž, pš, ž, š, bš, pž...witam kurwa

Ale fajna rozmowa, bardzo fajnie się Was ogląda i jest też ciekawa językowo. Studiowałam serbsko-chorwacki i zajmuję się językoznawstwem zawodowo, zatem bardzo mnie cieszy, że dzielisz się takimi filmikami :D Lecę sprawdzić czeski, bo tego też się uczyłam. :) Pozdrawiam! As a linguist I can say that it's a piece of really good work! Well done! :)

ten chorwat jest mega inteligetny i szybko załapał o co chodzi

imamo i mi kraj kao mjesto. kraj moze biti the end a moze i mjesto kraj

Nando is BEAUTIFUL

It was so interesting to watch this video! I really like to study the Slavic languages and to find similarities between them. Thank you for your videos! From Russia with love ❤️

I may be late to this but hell he's so nice and his excitement is gold😂 As a Slovak, understanding you both is beyond easy and I enjoy all of it❤😊

I’ve been studying Serbian for a couple of years now and I’ve only just started to make progress in it. I was so pleased that I could understand most of what was said in this video! However, what I found most interesting of all is that when he didn’t understand the Polish, nor did I and when he did, I did! So, I guess that means I’m doing well! Anyway, I was hoping there’d be subtitles but there weren’t any, unfortunately. Any chance of them being added soon? I understand written Polish better than spoken thanks to Serbo-Croatian!

Bośniacki, chorwacki, czarnogórski, serbski i słoweński może nie są najbliższe naszemu, ale za to najfajniejsze. :-)

As a Serbian speaker Polish is the hardest Slavic language. Slovak sounds awesome. Russian poetic. Bulgarian archaic and funny at times. Slovenian hilarious. Czech sounds exotic. Ukranian tough and very matter-of-fact. Belorussian like a simpler version of Russian. Macedonian - I love Macedonians - so cute. I am also surprised by how much this Serbian guy understood Polish, most of the time I understood nothing.

zajímavý video opravdu je pěkne sledovat toto dobré představení mezi jazyky

Very well done, guys. Very useful discussion. I just wonder how it would work if a group of people one of each slavic country could understand each other. I would be interesting.

jsem čech a rozumněl jsem celkem srbsky

This guy is pretty amazing!

I am russian and I understand them very well but Serbian was a little bit easier for me )

Very much, especially grammar. Thank you Norbert for this comparison.

Amazing! Serbocroatian sounds so cool. Once again congratulations on this exciting linguistic project. I unfortunately do not understand any Slavic language but find them to be amongst the coolest and most beautiful in the world. Best regards.

Огромное удовольствие от просмотра получил! Спасибо большое! Всё понятно, когда медленно говорите.👍😼

odlican video! :)))

To me, Serbo-Croatian sounds like Russian spoken with an Italian accent , which is actually cool .

It was interesting to watch :) I'm Ukrainian-Russian bilingual speaker and I understand about 60% of both guys (though I realize that the most phrases are simple, and the pronunciation is clear enough). Also it's kind a funny that sometimes I understand Croatian, while Polish guy cannot, and vice versa

I just noticed it for the first time: Serbcroatian seems to like to put a full 'i' sometimes at the beginning, sometimes at the ending of words. E.g. imati, which has both. They're hardly more than Mundarten of each other, let alone Dialekten-- except when it comes to Slovenian and Macedonian.

I'm a native Bulgarian speaker. If you ever need more of us, please feel free to send me a message :D P.S. Brilliant content, I'm having a lot of fun

Nice video coming from seriba i understand polish prety well mainly because some words are really similar and some even indetical(altough i know polish a bit so that helped me a bit) nevermind have a nice day Cześć.

Сърбина го разбирам но поляка ми е трудно

Interesantno. Kraj = koniec po polsku (if I understand correctly) and in Serbian at least, you can say konačno to say "finally", and you can turn that in to "okončati" which means "to end". "Okončaću ti bol" (I will end or put a stop to your pain). But to add to this layer, you can use the word Kraj to describe an area, "To je lep kraj" (It is a nice/pretty) area, some areas even use the term KRAJina in their name. Slavic languages and their relationships are endlessly fascinating.

These guys just blow my mind every time with their amazing linguistic abilities. This Serbian dude is so smart; his English is great, and he said he knows Russian, and if I understood right, both Spanish and Catalan?! Get outta here! The Czech guy from other videos also turned out to speak most natural Russian, on top of his English. And there was this beautiful Bulgarian artist girl who used to live in Spain and spoke Spanish - she also spoke fluent English! While not even being a linguist?! What?! They're all so young - how are they all so great with picking up multiple languages?! Amazing!!!

Nando speaks pretty straight ahead standard štokavski (where što is used both as the interrogative and relative pronoun) . In some dialects of the language - particularly kajkavski - you would find even more similarities. Fascinating video. I taught English as a second language in a city where we had many speakers of Slavic languages. They very quickly learned to communicate with each other. As a child, I was astonished how readily my grandmother could speak with people who ostensibly spoke other languages, though having learned Croatian (and other dialects of it at the same time) in my teens and spending time with speakers of related languages I could understand how readily this can be done. Understanding a few sound changes between the languages really speeds up the process (for example South Slavic g changing to h in Czech and Slovak, stressed o changing to i in Ukrainian). By the way, in our language, "kraj" is often used to mean "region", and mesto/mjesto is used to mean "place" which are semantically related to the Polish usages, though not exact. As Nando points out, we use "grad" for city, related to Russian город. Interesting that both Polish and Ukrainian use miasto/misto, but Kashubian uses "gard".

Have you already made such a video with Kashubian? :) or maybe Sorbian?

Film jak zwykle bardzo dobry z tej serii, nie spodziewalem sie ze tak dobrze pojdzie konwersacja, byc moze w micie o Bialej Chorwacji jest ziarnko prawdy :P

The Serbo Croat guy didn't get that "Kraj" also means "Region" or in their context "State" and not only the beginning or end... Yes it all descends from Proto Slavic seperated only by time and geography which added variation to the Slavic language(s)

Serdeczne pozdrowienia dla polskich braci z Serbii.

The intelligibility between Croatian standard and Polish is slightly higher than Serbian standard and Polish. The Croatian nonstandard Kajkavian and Chakavian have many west slavic elements while nonstandard Serbian in the South transitions into Macedonian and Bulgarian. Try finding a native speaker of Kajkavian or Chakavian it would be more interesting! The standards were taken from Bosnia for Political reasons for Yugoslavian unity and never changed (they are only now bastardising the Croatian standard)

Fantastic ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Kraj is a town|place in Slovene, finish is konec 😊

Ależ to ciekawe doświadczenie dla językoznawcy. :)

Standard language is not a dialect. It could be based on dialect, but it is actualy artificially created. It is the fact that the Croatian standard and Serbian standard are not completly the same language: rules are different, some words are also completly different (vazduh=zrak; đubrivo=gnojivo; gas=plin; pozorište=kazalište; fudbal=nogomet; odgoj =vaspitanje; vlak=voz; sprat=kat; nauka=znanost; istorija= povijest; makaze =škare; učešće = udio, udjel; učestvovati =sudjelovati, etc.). It is true that for foreigner it would be easier to learn Serbian than Croatian standard because Serbian language is more simple in so called: reflexion of ancient Slavic voice / iat/. For example: Serbian: vetar = Croat. vjetar; Serb: posle, polednji = Croat: poslije, but: posljednji; Serb:dete, plural: deca = Croat: dijete, plural:djeca; ceo= cio or cijeli; Serb:deo, verb: deliti= Croat: dio, verb infinitiv:dijeliti; umetnost=umjetnost; smeh= smijeh; etc.). Also, in Serbian one group of verbs is created with ending: - ovati, similar to Polish = ować: (prepakovati = Croat: prepakirati; lakovan = lakiran) in Croatian that group of verbs has ending - irati. There is also difference in sintax: Croatian language standard is to use infinitiv form of verb (ending =ti or =ći) where Serbian language normaly is using form of objectiv (da + present tense) , for example: Serbian: "Hoću da idem kući." versus Croatian: "Hoću ići kući." ; Serbian: "To moraš da otpevaš ovako." Croatian: "To moraš otpjevati ovako.", etc. Also, the most significant difference is that Serbian language could be and it is often written in both: in Cyrilic as well in Latin alphabet, and Croatian language is always written only in Latin alphabet. Conclusion is: purely linguisticly we can say that Croatian and Serbian standard are the same language with two centers of official standardisation: one in Zagreb, and other in Beograd, but actualy for the greatest part of Croats is as some kind of insult to say that their language is Serbian or Serbo- Croatian, because this are two separate states, two separate traditions and histories. Yes, Croats and Serbians were in past together in two states: in first Yugoslavia (1918- 1941) and in second, socialist Yugoslavia (1945 - 1991), but our "hanging out" together in both times ended in bloody wars.

KRAJ is not only "end" could be some area (county), or similar. For example "u tom kraju govore čudno"... "they speak strange in this area"... "rodni kraj" means "area you were born in" (not only homecity - larger). I am from Bosanska Krajina... Krajina comes from combination of this meaning. It is area at border (end). I think on Croatian is KONEC also END. But KRAJ is more used word.

Jeśli ktoś zna dobrze język polski, zna archaizmy, orientuje się w regionalizmach i liznął trochę np. rosyjskiego albo innego języka słowiańskiego, bez większego problemu dogada się ze Słowianami.

Я русский.Сербский,на мой взгляд, воспринимается легче. Польский хуже из-за наличия большого количества шипящих звуков

I am really impressed so see that. I also speak the serbo-croat langue and it' s just amazing to partly understand other slavic langues.

Norbert zawsze kozak !

This Serbian lad is fantastic, speaking very nice, You can see that He is a professor of languages and has that nice and calm approach. He speaks each word separated with a mini-break, while when You speak Polish You You do not do that and You connect a few words in a single breath.. He could understand You even better if You would speak slower and not so connected, You have like to local speaking manners... with no intention to insult, just to give You a tip for future... Speak Polish as (the same manner) You speak Englis, clear and understandable. But still a FANTASTIC VIDEO!!!

Cześć Ecolinguist! :) kiedyś dawno pisałem, też chciałem z tobą nagrać wideo. Moji języki są chorwacki i słowenski, ale tak mówie drugie słowianskie jezyki. Zapomniałem do kąd moge pisać, do jakiego adresu. Teraz mam dobry internet. Dziekuje bardzo za to co pan robi! :)

This Serbo-Croat guy literally mixed both Serbian and Croatian accent into one 😊 For a moment I was thinking he's from Serbia no wait he's from Croatia 😂 He use some Croatian phrases with Serbian accent, totally cool 😍

This is really funny because I have been learning Czech for a year now and I could understand a lot of things that were being said here. I am surprised that they managed to communicate so fairly well to be honest because even though Serbo-Croatian and Polish are both Slavic languages, they are not an example of two of the most similar Slavic languages like for example Czech-Slovak or Russian-Belarussian. It's weird because in general I understood Polish a bit better than Serbo-Croatian but I understood more "individual" Croatian words if that makes sense. I was following the bus story and having to change buses and all that. I got a bit lost when I heard the Polish word "plecak" (backpack I think?) because in Czech is "batoh". Overall it was an interesting experience though.

Ecolinguist, could you talk with your guests about their self-identification? I mean, is term serbo-croatian offensive for them? Do they prefer Bosnian/serbian/Croatian/Montenegrian division instead?

Матерный язык - родной язык. Я все понял, нельзя забывать родной язык 🤣

Kraj - skraj (na skraju czegoś). Ciekawe :) Dawniej jak nie było państwowości to miało pierwotne znaczenie zapewne.

Zanimljivo.

Very interesting in georgian hour is “sati” also like in serbian.

So after different videos about slav languages i found out, that russian close to south slav and ukrainian close to west slav

Já asi už budu na sebe pyšný ;) rozuměl jsem z videa chorvatsky všechno, polsky skoro všechno. Nic jsem se neučil, jen rád poslouchám chorvatské písničky na YT.

I can't really understand Polish guy, but i understand Serbo-Croatian. Love from Serbia.

Try finding a native speaker of Kajkavian or Chakavian Croatian. it would be more interesting when comparing them with west slavic!

Hey ,im Lebanese Ukrainian but i live in Russia, so i speak Russian and Ukrainian and i can understand many slavic languages , i would like to talk with slavic people to learn more about their language and culture

Rozumel som obom uplne krasne 🙂

Genijalni ste

In Polish language the word KRAJ means THE END ,too but only in the phrase from old Polish -this is example : Ja idę na kraj świata = I go to the end of the world .

Hello, I’m from Ukraine, really like this idea. I already have seen all your mutually intelligible videos with Slavic languages on this channel, they are great. I fluently speaking in Ukrainian and Russian and I also have studied Slovak language in Banska Bystrica for five month so I couldn’t say that I’m shocked with the fact how much I could understand, but still wow). Especially it is was fun for me because you two were talking on two languages that I don’t know and have misunderstanding with with words država, početak, and kraj, but I understand both of you because all this words are present in Ukrainian). Hope to see more stuff like this in your channel. One more thing that was interesting for me that iskustvo in Serbo-Croatian means experience but in Russian the same word means art. Actually I think it’s a great idea for your feature videos, you can make it about words in Slavic languages that have similar root but different meaning. I know few more examples. In Slovak čerstvý means fresh, but in Ukrainian and Russian the same word means stale. Pozor means attention in Slovak, but shame in Russian. Sklep in Polish means shop, but burial vault or basement in UKR and RUS. Also булка (bulka) in Bulgarian means bride, but in UKR and RUS it is kind of bread, and I am pretty sure there is a lot more. I think that kind of video would be fun and useful at the same time, because it could help to prevent misunderstandings and confusing situations if someone would try mutually intelligible conversation in real life.)

Very interesting videos. I'm a fan of Slavic languages. I was born in Kiev but lived almost my whole life in the U.S. I grew up within the Russian-speaking community (even though everyone is from Ukraine) and am fluent in Russian but speak with an American accent. I completed both Ukrainian and Polish on Duolingo.com and cannot speak either one! LOL But they have helped me understand a lot more of all the Slavic languages! I'm a big fan of all your videos!

I m not belongs to the Slavic people but I understood both of them because of the beautiful language Russian

Im croatian and serbian and croatian are SAME language. However, there are quite a few COMPLETELY different words. And others are of course differently pronounced but they are the same. About those different words, those are due to other influences. Like lets say names for months, they are completely different, but thats only because Serbs use english names. Or I dont know, word for football, same thing. Tbh, all the words comming into my heads are examples of when the difference is because Serbs use english, turkish, or whatever word. (lawyer, mushroom, sack....) I really cant tought now of the same example other way arround, where Serbs use their word and we took Italian or German word. Damn, I really cant remember now anything. But whomever says those are different language those must be some idiots who swallowed the propaganda from 90s, than it was pushed the theory those are different languages. PS. Can someone please give me some words that are completely different but its because we (Croats) used some foreign word....please Im gonna die if I dont get any lol One more thing, the word "pozno" is used pretty frequently in croatia, not for "the end" but lets say for "pozne godine"

It's very interesting to me how even after less than a year of learning Bulgarian I can already understand a fair amount of Serbo-Croatian without speaking any other slavik language

Funny thing I can witnessed at my work - Marek from Slokia talks to Victoria from Lithuania(she's Russian speaker) in Polish.

Uvjiek treba nositi sa sobom - Zawsze trzeba nosić ze sobą . Nawet przyimki mają tę samą logikę :D. I jeszcze ciekawa sprawa bo w serbskochorwackim istnieje słowo конац (konac) czyli nasz koniec :D.

Croatian and Serbian is the SAME language. Minor differences in pronunciation and some words are sometimes different. 98% is the same. The difference is identity. Historically, before Yugoslavia was formed, those republics were separate, but the language is the same.

Hello from 2020! At first I didn't even recognize you. I thought "Who the hell is that? Where is Robert?" :D

Rozuměl jsem oběma 100%. Nechápu, jak je to možný 😂😂

The word ‘kraj’ in Croatian does not only mean ‘end’ (as suggested by the Croatian speaker) but also ‘area’, hence the word ‘kraj’ can mean ‘area’ in both Croatian and Polish.
