    As a Polish person, I was in Kyiv 2019. I was having a layover between flights in the Borispol airport near Kyiv and decided to use those hours to do some side quest sightseeing. I had huge problem asking for directions because almost no one knew English, and knowing I'm a foreigner many people tried to speak Russian with me, which I don't know at all. At some point out of desperation I started talking in Polish, and then suddenly they started replying to me in Ukrainian. We immediately managed to understand each other and have a nice chat. Honestly, Ukrainian is probably the closest language to Polish, togather with Czech.

      I am polish and when I was in Czech Republic and I tried to to speak polish, they were like...whaaat ??!!
      They really couldn't understand, neither could I.. maybe some words, but it was impossible to have a conversation.

      @@03817 The more you listen the more patterns and similarities you start to recognize. Like for example the fact that whenever there is "g" sound in Polish there will be "h" sound in Czech, or where there is "ą" (nasal o) sound in Polish there will be "u" in Czech. So pigeon in Polish is "gołąb" but "holub" in Czech. Same world, regular sound changes. At first you may not undestand it at all, but then you start recognizing the patterns

Poland(Poljsha) is founded in 8th century before Christ as 3rd Serbian Kingdom and protection (by side/on side/u kraj) of RAsija and then after constantly atticking by northerns and germans/franks we move to Ukraine. In 8th century after Christ, Poland is occupied by Germans and now is "independet state" like Ukraina :D Peace brothers, dont fight, we have a same blood u madafakerz.

    It’s a great video. I think when it comes to Slavic languages, we must be aware of so called “false friends of a translator”. When it sounds similar, but has different meanings. Phonetics and pronunciation matter a lot when it goes about Polish and Ukrainian. I also think the age and backgrounds of the participants affect a lot how they understand each other. If you could give just a little bit of context and know how to read, it would be the way easier. For example as a Ukrainian speaker I can understand a lot of Polish 80% and Slovak language. With the Check if I read it slowly, I understand quite a lot, but when they speak it might be hard. Please make more videos like that with Ukrainian language! Thank you 😊

    5:33 That's a common misconception that people believe but not true and the difference would be even more drastic if bolsheviks didn't try to bring ukrainian closer to russian. There's a lot of old ukrainian words that are hard to understand because they were band and only similar words were left and a lot of words that we pronounce today were pronounced differently. Like letter "F" is foreigne and every word with this letter originaly was supposed to have letter "T" but bolsheviks repressions changed it and many other stuff. But there's only one language in the world that is almost identical to ukrainian is belarusian.

The more you go to the East, the less (clean) standard Ukrainian is spoken in everyday life, by ordinary people.

    If I hadn't learned the word charapaha (meaning turtle/tortoise - I don't know if there's a differentiation in Ukrainian) from Belorussian (which is VERY closely related to Ukrainian, I'd never know what it means (a Pole here). But then, when I think about it for a moment, I recall that the latin word for a turtle or tortoise's shell is carapax, which is clearly its etymological origin.

The word КНИГА also exists in the Ukrainian language. And the word Підручник (textbook) is a book also, only that has a different purpose of use. Підручник (textbook) - a book used as a standard work for the study of a particular subject.

    As a Serb, I understand almost everything. The reason Draga didn't get some of them is actually due to knowing potentially too many languages. I think she knows English, Serbian and German, so when Rossi spoke in Ukranian, the stressed syllables were different than they would be in Serbian, so Draga couldn't hear the word KUHINJA. Etc. When you know many languages, sometimes things meld together and sound similar, and there is more overthinking that occurs due to having heard similar sounds and enunciations across different languages. Loved this video so much!

    In Slovenian, the closest word that I know of to "підручник" is "rokovnik" which roughly translates to notebook. "Žolta" is also an archaic word for yellow, and "zlata" is the modern word for gold (as in the colour), so a connection exists there too. "Črepaha" is the name for a certain species of turtle, but as turtles don't really live in Slovenia it's not very well known. "Malanje" is a dialectal word taken from German meaning "painting" (as in the verb) but it's being used less and less, at least in my experience.

    Highly entertaining! 👏 as a Slavic language speaker, I was really interested in this, and got on about same level as the Polish girl. I would have a suggestion though: lose the annoying background soundtrack that makes it much harder to understand, especially the soft speaking Ukrainian girl.
    Otherwise, really interesting, thank you 🙏

    The Slavic languages are well connected, you can really see it, but from language to language, it's good for a person to know Proto-Slavic so as not to get lost because the same word in sister languages means different things. This is the most common thing in language families.

    I was born and grew up in Kyiv, and learned both Ukrainian and Russian as my native languages because both were spoken in my family. Only after the russian invasion, when I was forced to leave home with my three kids, I could actually grasp how different Ukrainian and Russian are. When we came to Poland, I could understand 50% of spoked language from the very start BECAUSE I speak Ukrainian - and it turned to 80% by the end of the week we spent in Krakow. Then in Ireland, where we stay for now, every time when I meet a Polish person, it's so endearing, like meeting someone from my country - and I always ask them to speak Polish to me if that's ok with them. Also, a couple of years ago one of my colleagues from Bielorussia sent me a recording of her granny speaking "an olden Bielorussian dialect", which was a 100% Ukrainian, as my own granny spoke it. That was so fun, she couldn't believe me when I told her that!

    1. Was the first word "podrucznyk"? It sounds the hell like Polish "Podręcznik" (= a textbook) so I cant believe Polish wouldn't get it, especially after hearing it has something to do with school. However I heard "fabryczny" ("used in a factory"/"made for a factory") at first so I see why she was confused. 2. "Żuti" was clearly like Polish "Żółty" = yellow. Easy. 3. "Czerepacha" was very confusing, my guess was be "Czapka" (a hat, something you put on your head) because we sometimes say "czerep" for "głowa" (head) or "czaszka" (skull) in some kind of slang. And when she said it's an animal my quess was "Wiewiórka" (a squirrel) but I don't know why or Żyrafa (a giraffe) because it somehow sounds similar. Turtle was a surprise, but I guess "czapka/czaszka" kinda looks like a turtle shell? LOL And hey... I checked the vocabulary and actually "czerep" has another meaning in Polish. Not just head/skull but also "skorupa po stłuczonym naczyniu" ("a broken shell left after a container was broken") whatever it is supposed to mean. And the word "skorupa" is specific to the sturdy shells turtles have (if it was less sturdy it would be "skorupka"). 3. The music was interfering with her speech. I understood up to this point: Good day (Dobreho dnia = Dzień dobry), .... Prosina?(my guess is: Nazywam się Prosina) I came from Ukraine (Ja pryjechała z Ukrainy = Przyjechałam z Ukrainy). Then there was something with Korea (Korei?) and about kitchen/cousine (Kuchnia = Kuchnia = Kitchen or Cousine). Last sentence was something like jeszcze pojade do Korei (I will got o Korea once more) ... dużo podobaju sie (Bardzo podoba mi się = I like very much). I couldn't hear 19 at all, probably because of the music. 4. Moje hobby jest malowanie (Moim hobby jest malowanie = My hobby is painting). I dużo lubię malovaty (Bardzo lubię malować = I like painting very much). Obucia, portrety. (Obrazy, portrety = Paintings, portraits). It definitely was painting not drawing through because drawing in Polish would be rysowanie, unless she meant "malowanie kredkami" = "painting using crayons". 5. The music interfered with animal description too much. I could oionluy hear Kerina and Kerina over and over again. However I did hear "znak drożni" (znak drogowy = road sign) and we literally say "Zebra" for a pederastian crossing in Polish, so it was a big tip, shame on me I couldn't quess. But again - I was annoyed because the music was freaking louder than her speech. If I could hear czarny i biały (black and white) too it would be an easy guess.

And you can even hear in our dialect there are some sounds who are similar said in Slowenian, I could hear that very much when I moved to another country and then got some time when I heard neither my dialect and also no Slowenian and then heard Slowenian for the first time since a while, it was really funny.
