@@teatea3727 gde si jebotee 😂😂 I'm Serbian but born in Australia and here instead of saying (in English) gde si, we say 'how's it going'. That's our greetings hahaha
I hate that question because I always wonder why is person asking me that and is it just a question of genuine interest or just formality. If I am great, it looks like I am bragging, if not, it seems I am whining.
Exactly, In Western cultures "how are you" is just another type of hello, in Eastern Europe "how are you," actually means that people want to know how you are doing.
Nobody trust nobody unless you know them personally it's not just a Serb, thing it's world wide. I don't trust my relatives even though I have known them since i was born. 😅
Just because they're born in a different country doesn't make them any less Eastern european. I was born and raised in sweden but my parents (and all my older relatives) are serbian. My serbian might not be the best, I have a bit of an accent when i speak, but I understand pretty much all of it since I was raised in a VERY serbian home. We visit relatives in the balkans every summer, so the Culture is also something i'm very familiar with. I'm in on all the inside jokes, I grew up hearing About all the weird myths and legends. We listen to serbian Music a lot as well. What tells you that the people in the video didn't grow up like I did? They might (most likely) be even better at their languages!
Mila Marjanovic That's the thing: they from the early age think that their culture is "weird" anf "funny" just because it has some differences from Western culture. They still think thay Western culture is somewhat superiour ,while in fact its not. I hope its not the case with you.
It used to be, when i was really Little i lived in the "sketchy" part of Town (It's really not that bad at all) but a lot of other Slavic kids lived there as well. I actually didn't learn Swedish until i was 4, which was around thetime i started feeling ashamed about y heritage and Culture. We moved to a "nicer" Place and there my kindergarten was FULL of mean Swedish kids making fun of my accent. So I did my best to forget serbian, i regret that now. I'm in love with the Culture now, I love visiting my parents home Town. People Think their Culture is weird because others do. Western people Think they are superior and therefore some people start thinking the same at one Point.
Meni se sva kosa na glavi digne kada mi lik ne želi dozvolit da platim račun. Nekad je to ok, al ono, da je sad svaki put, to mi je već ispod časti. Vjerojatno je ovaj "hrvat" dovoljno siguran u sebe i ne mora dokazivati svoju muškost plaćanjem.
Da Bome I think that she doesn't really look Serbian, but we don't really have specific look, so, maybe am wrong. Also, she said Serbians are cold at first witch is not true. Those are Scandinavians, Serbians are VERY easy going people and we don't have a problem to opet up to strangers (most of us, me included).
I guess the reason people from countries like the USA have the impression we are cold and emotionless is because its normal over there to have that big fake smile stretched over your face all the time. Probably not when you are with your close friends and family, but as far as I've learned that is true for interactions with strangers and people you are not that close to. It's a lot simpler over here, you smile when you feel like it, you laugh when something is funny, you say what you mean and lying to people (like saying "wow, your shoes are great", while you actually think "your shoes are hideous") is just considered bad manners. I mean, you are not supposed to go around insulting everybody you don't like, but lying to people just to make them feel good is just as bad, if not worse. All this fake politeness and political correctness that's being forced upon us these days is just making me sick.
It depends what area of the country you are from. The south is more condescendingly polite, but in the North they're more likely to just be quiet if they don't have something nice to say. In general, everyone either says "I'm ok" or doesn't answer the question "How are you" if they aren't doing well, but some of us do answer honestly if we're asked.
I really don’t understand why over a hundred people liked your comment. That isn’t fake for one. We say that they look nice and hint at them that they look like shit. Everyone here smiles when they feel like it too, which is a lot more often than in Eastern Europe.
Its always funny to me how people like you go on and on about the fake smiles and politeness. Just cuz you're a depressed bitch who never smiles and acts like a dick to everyone doesnt mean we all secretly are
@Μαρίνα Σ meni je tata uvijek govorio "ko se bez razloga smije taj pametan nije", sve se to vrto okolo pouka je nemoj se smijat bez razloga il si budala
As a Serbian guy, that "Serbian" girl looks nothing like a Serbian girl. She seems too Americanized. Probably born in the US or simply lives her whole life in the US. Croatian guy sound like a similar story. Others seems legit

I'm a Russian and I've never heard in my life that anyone among my friends asked a girl to share the bill in a restaurant or in a cafe. For us, it is absolutely unacceptable.
@@XDrakeX1 it's all about self esteem. There is no any men who want to be judged as such insolvent to pay for girl's treat he invated to date. Yeah. Probably it's machism, so what? It's part of our gentleman's culture.
I’m from Ireland and we have a big Polish, Czech, Croatian population here and I really like them. Some older Irish people find them rude because they aren’t really friendly like Irish people are, but it is just how they come across-no bullshit, say what they think, blank faced. But to me they are so lovely when you get to know them, and so funny! I love how blunt they are 😂
Irelands amazing dude, ewgland sucks. Slavs and nordic people dont really like interactimg with strangers informally if u get me, like you dont chit chat with someone you know for an hour
OK, time for some answers: 1. Yeah, kinda true. But drinking for us Slavs is a social occasion. We never sit down to drink just because. We always have something to drink for : child birth, birthdays, imen den (in which we celebrate the person's name - I know it sounds weird), wedding. But, yeah, generaly all slavs drink a lot. 2. I have to say it's true. 3. Yeah, true 100%. As a man, I will never let women pay the bill for me. We Slav men have great pride and we , let's say, spoil out women. Even if they don't agree men still pay. End of story. 4. True. Women always want to be on the top of their game so dress up even when you go to the local cafe for an hour. 5. That depends. You just can't tell that in other countries there are no gold - diggers. 6. Cold and emotionless? Hahaha. You have to be joking. Slavs are one of the most welcoming people in the world. I have a friend with Russian mother and one day he invited me to drink a couple beers. His mother prepared a 3 years supply of food as if 100 people are coming to visit. As for the emotionless part, just try to argue with a Slav. I dare you.
Hehe, about something to drink for. In Russia there is a quote from one beloved film called "Love and Doves" : "The Bastille Day has been just wasted". In Russia you can always find a good reason to drink!
It's 2020. You're not in a position to "let us pay" or not for anything. We are Slavs, not slaves and your mentality is the problem. And us/women letting you pay shouldn't validate you as a man, person, etc. Seriously.
@@jadwigaw.6896 I don't need anyone's validation. I'm saying this is a fact. Maybe the guys you dated were some dorks that say "Babe, can you pay? Next time is on me". What the serious fuck?! I just telling that what those people say about the bill is a 100% true in all the slav countries.
@@jadwigaw.6896 I mean, if you just started dating, men always pay. Even or maybe esspecially in Poland (your name sounds kinda polish). It doesnt really matter if its 2020. And its not about mentality but culture. Anyway, i dont judge if its good or bad. It just is as it is.
I worked as a photo staff in a cruise line for a while and even tho I'm from Colombia (Latino) the best friends I made were balkans. Loyal, honest and very kind in their own serious way. Amazing people.
We Russians have a proverb that states "Смех без причины - признак дурачины" (Smeh bez prichiny - priznak durachiny). "Laughter with no reason is a sign of a fool". And indeed, we just don't like faking smile like Westerners. It's just like that: if a Russian man or woman smiles, he or she is genuinely happy, not trying to appease someone.
Ajoura Well there is a difference between smiling and laughing though. Laughing will make you look like a fool even in western Europe i suppose. A smile is just a way to cheer up the mood and show the other that you have friendly intentions. It doesn't necessarily mean that you 're happy.
In Russia it is the other way around. If you walk around and smile, people usually would think you're fishy and trying to trick them. If you do not, then you are honest about being not fully happy and you are absolutely safe. Because Russia, with its bipolar climate, is not the absolute candyland to be constantly happy about, you know.
Have you been to Western Europe ? I haven't noticed many fake smiles ( Germany Spain France Austria) . Americans have an instant smile on eye contact Russians at least in Moscow don't smile first on eye contact but often return a smile back.
The thing is... You can clearly see the difference between a legit smile, and a fake one. We're not faking smiles in Western Europe, we're just more expressive I'd say. Can't tell if we're just more chill or happier tho...
About "how are you", at least here in South Serbia, it is not strange to ask people you know "kako si (how are you)" but don't be surprised if the person you are asking actually starts telling you about their problems.
Poland is the same ;) You ask someone " jak się masz (how are you)" and 5 minutes later you know about all year of this person live :D And it's something normal! I love that ^^
Hmmm I'm polish and that's how I've been reacting to "how are you" in the US.... Guess that explains people's reactions when I start ranting about how miserable I am lmao
they were talking about how small talk is annoying in western countries. People ask you "how are you" as a greeting and they usually expect simple answer like "I am good and you?". In slavic countries if you ask that it is small talk only in places where you need to keep up appearances and actually need small talk, like in companies or smth. If you ask that question you should expect a decently long answer.
Here in Bulgaria it's only half true. When you ask someone Как си ? (how are you in Bulgarian) it actually depends on the person you are asking. Like for instance if you ask somebody you know very well like someone from your family, a close friend or a colleague they might tell you about the problems they might have or if they are sad or happy. But if you ask a total stranger or somebody from your work who you don't know very well they might just ignore you or worse start an argument over this harmless question. Because some people believe that certain people simply don't give a fuck about them like for instance some random stranger or some colleague with which you don't talk to very often and you say how are you to them. Personally for me i used to think it's okay if somebody asks me how are you ? But for the past like 2,3 years when somebody does ask me that quesiton i just get annoyed and cringe a little. Because most people like maybe 90% of people who ask this question (excluding your closest family members of course) don't really care if you answer them or not and if you do decide to answer it they just ignore whatever your answer was. To me in most cases it's just another form of ''Hello''.
Slavic people don’t ask you“How are you?” If they don’t care and don’t smile to you if they don’t feel happy BUT if they DO, you can be sure that they are interested in you and feel happy with you.
@margaret the point is - we do this only when we are interested how the person is. You probably won't ask 'jak się masz' a lady at the bakery unless you've known her for some time.
Isnt all comment sections like these tho? Except for people like Pewdiepie, Markiplier, CoryxKenshin, etc. There will always be a flame war that concerns serious matters such as politics and steriotypes.
When I had to learn topography in primary school it wás Czechoslovakia. So imagine if like half your life it was one country, it's not that weird you're not really caught up, especially across the pond.

when you speak fluently you pronounce slavic name with the appropriate accent, as it sounds more natural. Otherwise, it looks like glued files in mp3 format. Like: "Hi, this is my friend Борис"
You miss geography. I suggest you this division: Czech, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia are in Central Europe; Belarus, Russia, Ukraine are in Eastern Europe; Croatia, Serbia etc are Balkan region and it's got own rulers. You can call it Central South Europe. Better? Share you thought.
As a political scientist the only thing I can say is that Balkan countries are South-eastern European and that there is no such a thing as Central Europe.
"Serbian" woman annoyed me a bit. That American accent just screamed Serbia.... Also "As European women, we..." Ummm... no. You're not in that group. The thing is if you were raised in America, even if your parents are born in Europe you are already far off.
Heinrich Hertz culture wise they're very far off. Nothing is wrong with me and it's not a strange idea. Her accent is so thick you know she was already born in America, likely 3rd gen. You may speak Americanized but believe me there is a difference, people can tell.
She is ethnically Serbian, but she grew up (and was probably born) in the US so she's American. For some reason lots of Americans say they're a different nationality because their parents or grandparents were, but they're simply American.
@@entrelaced she's mentally already american, not slav. so she's serbian only on words. не могу я по вражески писать, в общем ментально она ближе к американцам, чем к сербам, это видно не только по её акценту но и по её поведению в целом... из неё сербка как из меня вьетнамец, например. от того что я себя назову вьетнамцем, им я к сожалению не стану.
Slovan SK not every Hungarian is gypsy, but gypsys live near To Kosice, and kosice is full with Hungarians, who speak Hungarian, so they know their language
Interesting, I have my own stereotype that I meet in other countries - I am from Russia, but I look Asian so nobody believes me at the first time I am from Russia and I speak Russian, normally they think I am from South Korea, Japan or China, so I always have to explain I am not chinese,korran or japanese, I was born in Russia and my ancestors lived in Siberia for a long time. So not a lot of people know there are actually a lot of nationalities jn Russia, not only European-look
@milster I personally am not keeping up with it. I am aware only of some. But Russians somehow do. They're very interesting, they have two words - one for Russian citizen and one for ethnic "Slav" Russian.
@@piotrhadaa47 There are a lot of racist jokes in America too. Freedom of speech doesnt really exist. Everything depends on what media makes you believe its bad or not
@@devinreis5811 No could not be just him, she is NOT Serbian, she more than likely is a 3rd or an even later generation descendant of Serbs that have already mixed with non-Serbs beyond recognition, she looks stereotypical American "white" and she acts exclusively American, she is as Serbian as the sole of my shoe.
I have got friends from Russia,Ukraine,Croatia,Bosnia,Poland and Serbia. They have got very different mentality .Reasons are different climates ,history,religion. This is very interesting and wonderfull.
I'm Russian, some of my foreign friends are surprised when I smile or ask "how are you?" and they wonder why I don't drink alcohol and don't say "Na zdorovje". They think I'm a fake Russian. XD People are full of stereotypes about each other. :)
It's the overly "Americanized" way she speaks, specifically the goddamn vocal fry. She's obviously either spend a long time in the US or is actually American who calls herself "Serbian" because of her heritage, just like all the "Italians", "Irish" and so on who have never set foot outside of their home state let alone the continent Sorry if I sound mean, hearing vocal fry always makes me stabby.
@@jansabata3456 No. In the western world, we call people of African ancestry "black". I know in the East, every person who is from Africa or has ancestry from Africa is "African". But in the western world, we separate African diaspora (black) and those living on the continent of Africa (African).
Here in Russia we almost don't use "black" cuz it sounds unnaturally for us. We look at this word like something that came from american culture. Especially from american films. We also rarely use "African" cuz it literally means you are from somewhere in Africa. I can say "African" only if I know for sure you are from Africa. Mostly we use "Негр" (I don't know the most appropriate word in English. You can try google translate). This word means that you are a negroid race person. But I think that for western people we sound like racists cuz "Негр" sounds almost like some n-word.
I am Brazilian born, with slovene blood, so I have a conflict between my slavic heritage and my latino environment. Here I am a cold and emotionless guy, but outside Brazil people expect me to dance samba.
@@myhandlehasbeenmishandled Cause brazilian culture os very, very, *VERY* different from the other latin american countries. They have their own culture, their own music, their own language, their own food, their own everything. So most of them don't identify themselves as "latinos", even that they know they are... Lol
@@leonardoalves3942 Well, it depends on the perspective. Most Brazilians don't travel outside of their country and virtually never come into contact with other Latin Americans, so it's no surprise that they can feel super different. Those who actually know some Hispanic people and visit their countries can realize that they have actually a lot in common, specially compared to more different cultures.
Janka™HUN Seems that u are from there.) Well Latvians and Lithuanians aren't too. And I hate when everybody think we are so related to Russia and their culture, drinking that is not absolutely true!
They are weird. The title should be "Slavic people", not "Eastern and Central European people"... It's pretty misleading, because Germans, Austrians, Swiss and Hungarians are Central as well, so it feels kinda wrong when they make Central stereotypes based on what one Czech person said...
Jan Götz exactly. By this aricle Cro isn t i Central Europe. Following u can read that Cro can be considered in CE by some fact( as some part of Serbia). But further reading gives u a conclusion tha Serbia,Ukraine also can be considered as CE but we all know that they aren t. So I believe what we learned in school and what Britanica said,Croatia belongs to Eastern Europe( south eastern Europe precisely).
Love eastern Europeans, just love them. The best friends i ve made were from Czech Republic, and one russian. Serious people, when they respect you they are clear and direct, no bs. Extremely very well mannered and cultured. Years after and we are still friends and regularly checking on each other.
You are friends with my felow Czech brothers and you didnt learn, that calling us eastern Europeans is insult for us (I mean - we are located in central europe, we are called west slavs, our capital is more on west than Vienna - only thing which is connecting us with east is small part of history of political systems...) Please do not insult us.
@@helenalemakova4874 Language? You mean our beautifull man made language from 1830 which they had to do cause Czech spoke more likely in german language... and even tho they try to make is as slavic as possible the german influence is higher then they would likes to? Tradition? Tradition which we are having same as germans,poles,slovaks and austrian (middle europe) but not Russians,Estonian,Hungarians or Bulgarians - which are on East from us? Background - like 40 years under communism? Compare to 300 years under Austrian Empire and more than 500 years under Holy Roman Empire I should take it as something what bond us? Yes - we share a lot in central Europe... but not much with East...
@@helenalemakova4874 for me (and actually most of the Czechs ) it is more easier to understand Germans (not by the language but by the culture) Like I will understand what Ukrainan will told me but on the other hand I will not need explanation from German why he is doing something, when does he become my friend, to know what is polite and what is rude to him, when is good time to ask if I can ask if we can use our first names, when it is ok to ask german girl out,to understand and have same working habits, to just behave during the day same, to know what is correct space between ppl during conversation, what is polite at table, if its rude to jump in somebody speech or not, how to behave in school, when it is good time to arrive at party, what present to give a friend etc... (that all is part of culture (all those simple thing which you dont need to think about) and we share that more with germans and austrian than with ukrainans and we cannot be compared together with ukrainans) Btw by the genetic we share almost same genetic with Hungarian,Slovaks and Astrian (sarcastic "what aa shock")- trying to call out the background of Dněpr is just about ignoring the 1000 years of our history together with germans next to us...
I am Czech and I could talk for hours about these topics. But I have to say that in general we are much more genuine and less pretentious than west europeans.
It's just weird to us. Why would you smile at a random stranger? It's the same thing about talking to random people in the line at the grocery store (doing smalltalk and stuff), like, I don't know you, why are you talking to me when I'm just here to do my shopping? It's just useless so we don't do it.
We do think that. Maybe in a small village it's ok, people will respond to your friendliness but anywhere else just don't do that if you don't want to be seen as weird or don't have an answer.
I'm Czech and when I've been to Amsterdam everyone there was smiling at each other and me, even greeting me on the street. It felt so weird. So I definitely don't agree with you on that, cause the Netherlands is Western Europe too... By the way, I felt so great coming back to Prague full of frowned people haha
Tereza Slavíčková I'm Dutch and can confirm that saying hello to strangers is pretty normal. It doesn't happen always but it is seen as nice. Smiling at strangers and doing small talk happens a lot to.
Nicole Dijkstra thanks for the confirmation! It's nice at first but when you're not used to it at all it feels very unusual and after a while is very tiring for no good reason at all. However I loved it there, shiny happy people keep it up!

Tony Pavko wait so Croats, Bosnians and Montengrrins arrent Slavs, but Serbs are, and they all speak Croatian language which is a slavic language?! Wtf?
Tony Pavko but what is shocking to me is that Croats are not Slavic but the Croatian language is Slavic? And Serbs are slavs who also speak a slavic language, but not serbian, they speak Croatian?
I'm Latino and went for a semester abroad this past year and the best friends I made were from Czech Republic. So welcoming once you know them and down to help you out whenever you need it. Much love to the Czechs
Seeing as “political correctness” is generally synonymous with kindness and empathy, it’s really sad how often people say that like it’s a bad thing. Also, I find that people who say they hate political correctness tend to be the biggest snowflakes when you find their area of sensitivity.
I think perceiving the Czechs as more eastern European is an Anglo-Saxon perspective. They are east of us after all. But on the ground they are definitely central European fundamentally almost. A good amount of German influence there. Hell even in the former Soviet republics lmao.

Common misconception. Russia is not the biggest slavic nation - most of their tribes have either finno-ugric origin - Mordva, Erza, Merya, Udmurt, Chud`, Ved`, Veps or mongolian - Buryat, Yakut, Hanty & Mansy. They have around 25 mln muslims of different muslim religions both sunni and shiit. They have some descendants from Ukraine and Belarus though but they are not that numerous. Ukraine is the biggest slavic nation of 45 million people.
Im an ethnicly mixed slav(polish bulgarian russian and ukrainian) we mostly spoke russian in our family although my parents sometimes spoke ukrainian between themself and my babushka is fluent in ukrainian russian and bulgrian we all saw the russian soviet culture as our own and i have to say we slavs our pretty much the same no matter if ur balkan or eastern slav or catholic pole or croat we were pretty much raised in the same way we are one people we are brothers we shouldnt fight each other thats why i believe in a grand slavic union and pan slavic nationalism.No more brothers killing brothers on the land of the holy rus . if we unite we will become a supepower. I wish all my slavic brothers prosperty and happiness on our land on our soil,not in canda or west europe or america.
Very not true, its obvious that your comment is full of emotions and little objectivity. There is very big difference between say Czech,Slovak,Pole and Russian. Besides russians always wanted to dominate and control others, there would be no union, just group of countries ruled by Russia (just like Soviet Union, which wasnt actually a union at all)
@@TheAdasus Please do not confuse the Russian government and its representation in the media and ordinary Russian people. We don't want to dominate anyone. How can we do this if most people can't even speak English? -))
I teach English in Minsk, Belarus and I used to live in Vilnius, Lithuania. I always have to explain that when an American says, Hi, how are you? It just means 'hello'. That's all. If they ask, "Hi, how've you been doing?"they are expecting some details or a summary of what you have been busy with, how you have been feeling, etc. And it's usually used when you haven't seen each other in a while, and of course, because you know each other.
Czech people when you meet them in every day life; on public transport, at the shops, etc. they sometimes come across as extremely rude and grumpy and rather intimidating, sometimes just straight up assholes, but when you get invited to their house or go out for a beer with Czech friends or something, it's the total opposite. In that case, they are so hospitable and charming people with hearts of gold. I've had chlebičky, babovka, bramborový salát and štrůdl pretty much shoved down my throat on several occasions while they talk your head off for hours.
I'm Serbian, and Serbia shouldn't be classified as Central or Eastern, but rather as Southern European country. I as a Serb don't feel any, but ANY bond, whether it be on cultural or any other plan, with those people in the Central \Eastern Europe (such as Czechs, Slovaks, Poles, Ukrainians etc.). Our mentality, our culture, its all much more similar to that of Southern Europe. Your video is a gross generalization!
@Epiri Cham Typical Albanian nationalist ranting (let's not use another word, like bulls.....). Without any evidence and scientific backing, as usual. Idiotism. We are Southern Europeans and you're from Caucasus.
As Estonian I can def say that slavic ppl that i've met are among the nicest and also most out going people, they can be very tempremental which can be both gift and a curse xD
I would love that to be true but unfortunately it’s the opposite. parents are forcing us to walk with a straight back and we listen to pop, turbo folk ... Sorry to disappoint you
Slavic people may appear cold but once they know & trust you, they are so warm and kind. The men take pride in being manly and in taking care of their women. Let me tell you, it's like a breath of fresh air.
Oh, jeez. When they lump some of us in Eastern Europe, a number of comments is always "We are central!!!! *knives out* ", and now that someone actually adds Central Europe, a number of comments is "It's not really central, they're east!!!" Here's a stereotype: Never content. P.S. Just enjoy the video. It's fun.
Da. Zato što nismo Slaveni imamo cijelu jednu regiju koja se zove SLAVonija. Lol. Pavle, što se te podjele tiče, ovisi kako na to gledaš. Ako gledaš geografski iz današnjeg kuta, onda da. Ako gledaš iz kulturnog kruga, onda je Central zbog stoljeća u habsburškom krugu. Ako gledaš iz podjele na istok i zapad, može biti i jedno i drugo. Zapad ako gledaš na vrstu kršćanstva. Istok ako gledaš na bivše političke sustave i pripadanje slavenstvu. Osobno, meni je svejedno gdje nas stave, jer smo I jugoistočno i središnje i mediteranski, ali mi ide na živce kad se netko kolje oko toga, a pozicija je zapravo relativna.
Hello! I am Hungarian and most of these things are true especially the drinking stereotypes. Also Hungarians and other Eastern Europeans aren’t emotionless they just don’t show off how they feel and are basically more matcho then other men.
No, we are not close to Greeks, we are unique mix of Slavic and domestis Balkan tribes on Western Balkans. Not even close to Greece. And we are tallest people in the world, because of Dinaridi Mountains and people coming from there.

DarkSlayerNation this is one of the hypothesis thats out there regarding our origins (along with a "white serbia" homeland) however it's not a 100% fact as it hasn't been proven.
We come from a land that can provide great abundance, but times of scarcity are just as abundant. This creates a very careful person who is capable of great caring and the ability to survive great hardship. We pick our friends very carefully but generally hold them for life. As for the resting Slav face, it messes with people. My sister had the best resting Slav scowl. When asked if all is well she sometimes responds," I'm in my happy place, why do you ask?" Others dont understand Slav happy place. Great channel.
Indeed, from the Soviet Union making the Eastern people know how to survive the worst, to the south fighting for their independence and identity for years, being dragged into countless monarchies, our people have truly learned to stay strong, stay hardened, but cherish the sometimes little good we find in life. Our political views might be more about judging the politics rather than actually supporting a side, and our friendships may be few, but we will always find happiness no matter how little we understand the outside or the outside understands us.
@@dankovac1609 Truth. Just yesterday I watched a video of a Hopi Elder speaking. He encourages us the be our own leaders and think for ourselves. The people who survive the hardships simply know what they know and cannot be swayed from their truths. They are truly sovereign. Take care.
1- I dont get the joke about 2 rus bros around 1 ukrainian balzac woman (no offense) 2- where are our Hussar bros? where are other balkanians? where slovaks and slovenians? 3- including me and my best friends, slavs are cunning, cold in neutral and positive states, but very emotional in negative states, not aggressive, but we really like intellectual/emotional bullying.

"IM SERBIAN" said in a most American way possible:)
Just because they're born in a different country doesn't make them any less Eastern european. I was born and raised in sweden but my parents (and all my older relatives) are serbian. My serbian might not be the best, I have a bit of an accent when i speak, but I understand pretty much all of it since I was raised in a VERY serbian home. We visit relatives in the balkans every summer, so the Culture is also something i'm very familiar with. I'm in on all the inside jokes, I grew up hearing About all the weird myths and legends. We listen to serbian Music a lot as well. What tells you that the people in the video didn't grow up like I did? They might (most likely) be even better at their languages!
Mila Marjanovic That's the thing: they from the early age think that their culture is "weird" anf "funny" just because it has some differences from Western culture. They still think thay Western culture is somewhat superiour ,while in fact its not. I hope its not the case with you.
It used to be, when i was really Little i lived in the "sketchy" part of Town (It's really not that bad at all) but a lot of other Slavic kids lived there as well. I actually didn't learn Swedish until i was 4, which was around thetime i started feeling ashamed about y heritage and Culture. We moved to a "nicer" Place and there my kindergarten was FULL of mean Swedish kids making fun of my accent. So I did my best to forget serbian, i regret that now. I'm in love with the Culture now, I love visiting my parents home Town. People Think their Culture is weird because others do. Western people Think they are superior and therefore some people start thinking the same at one Point.
Mila Marjanovic yeah, I see it now. Pure peer pressure. Thanks for sharing your story. Now I understand more.

I guess the reason people from countries like the USA have the impression we are cold and emotionless is because its normal over there to have that big fake smile stretched over your face all the time. Probably not when you are with your close friends and family, but as far as I've learned that is true for interactions with strangers and people you are not that close to. It's a lot simpler over here, you smile when you feel like it, you laugh when something is funny, you say what you mean and lying to people (like saying "wow, your shoes are great", while you actually think "your shoes are hideous") is just considered bad manners. I mean, you are not supposed to go around insulting everybody you don't like, but lying to people just to make them feel good is just as bad, if not worse. All this fake politeness and political correctness that's being forced upon us these days is just making me sick.
It depends what area of the country you are from. The south is more condescendingly polite, but in the North they're more likely to just be quiet if they don't have something nice to say. In general, everyone either says "I'm ok" or doesn't answer the question "How are you" if they aren't doing well, but some of us do answer honestly if we're asked.
so is sarcasm a very disrespectful thing?
I really don’t understand why over a hundred people liked your comment. That isn’t fake for one. We say that they look nice and hint at them that they look like shit. Everyone here smiles when they feel like it too, which is a lot more often than in Eastern Europe.

I’m from Ireland and we have a big Polish, Czech, Croatian population here and I really like them. Some older Irish people find them rude because they aren’t really friendly like Irish people are, but it is just how they come across-no bullshit, say what they think, blank faced. But to me they are so lovely when you get to know them, and so funny! I love how blunt they are 😂
Irelands amazing dude, ewgland sucks. Slavs and nordic people dont really like interactimg with strangers informally if u get me, like you dont chit chat with someone you know for an hour
OK, time for some answers:
1. Yeah, kinda true. But drinking for us Slavs is a social occasion. We never sit down to drink just because. We always have something to drink for : child birth, birthdays, imen den (in which we celebrate the person's name - I know it sounds weird), wedding. But, yeah, generaly all slavs drink a lot.
2. I have to say it's true.
3. Yeah, true 100%. As a man, I will never let women pay the bill for me. We Slav men have great pride and we , let's say, spoil out women. Even if they don't agree men still pay. End of story.
4. True. Women always want to be on the top of their game so dress up even when you go to the local cafe for an hour.
5. That depends. You just can't tell that in other countries there are no gold - diggers.
6. Cold and emotionless? Hahaha. You have to be joking. Slavs are one of the most welcoming people in the world. I have a friend with Russian mother and one day he invited me to drink a couple beers. His mother prepared a 3 years supply of food as if 100 people are coming to visit. As for the emotionless part, just try to argue with a Slav. I dare you.
We just don't pretend to smile xD when we smile it means that we are happy and have some reason to smile
Hehe, about something to drink for. In Russia there is a quote from one beloved film called "Love and Doves" : "The Bastille Day has been just wasted". In Russia you can always find a good reason to drink!
It's 2020. You're not in a position to "let us pay" or not for anything. We are Slavs, not slaves and your mentality is the problem. And us/women letting you pay shouldn't validate you as a man, person, etc. Seriously.
@@jadwigaw.6896 I don't need anyone's validation. I'm saying this is a fact. Maybe the guys you dated were some dorks that say "Babe, can you pay? Next time is on me". What the serious fuck?! I just telling that what those people say about the bill is a 100% true in all the slav countries.
@@jadwigaw.6896 I mean, if you just started dating, men always pay. Even or maybe esspecially in Poland (your name sounds kinda polish).

I worked as a photo staff in a cruise line for a while and even tho I'm from Colombia (Latino) the best friends I made were balkans. Loyal, honest and very kind in their own serious way. Amazing people.
I'm very pleased for.this comment :)
We Russians have a proverb that states "Смех без причины - признак дурачины"
(Smeh bez prichiny - priznak durachiny). "Laughter with no reason is a sign of a fool".
And indeed, we just don't like faking smile like Westerners. It's just like that: if a Russian man or woman smiles, he or she is genuinely happy, not trying to appease someone.
Ajoura Well there is a difference between smiling and laughing though. Laughing will make you look like a fool even in western Europe i suppose. A smile is just a way to cheer up the mood and show the other that you have friendly intentions. It doesn't necessarily mean that you 're happy.
In Russia it is the other way around. If you walk around and smile, people usually would think you're fishy and trying to trick them.
If you do not, then you are honest about being not fully happy and you are absolutely safe. Because Russia, with its bipolar climate, is not the absolute candyland to be constantly happy about, you know.
Have you been to Western Europe ? I haven't noticed many fake smiles ( Germany Spain France Austria) . Americans have an instant smile on eye contact Russians at least in Moscow don't smile first on eye contact but often return a smile back.
The thing is... You can clearly see the difference between a legit smile, and a fake one. We're not faking smiles in Western Europe, we're just more expressive I'd say. Can't tell if we're just more chill or happier tho...
Ajoura
It’s just polite. Like if you make eye contact with someone, you acknowledge them in some way, whether a smile or a nod, etc.
About "how are you", at least here in South Serbia, it is not strange to ask people you know "kako si (how are you)" but don't be surprised if the person you are asking actually starts telling you about their problems.
Poland is the same ;) You ask someone " jak się masz (how are you)" and 5 minutes later you know about all year of this person live :D And it's something normal! I love that ^^
Well, the same in the Czech Republic.
Hmmm I'm polish and that's how I've been reacting to "how are you" in the US.... Guess that explains people's reactions when I start ranting about how miserable I am lmao
they were talking about how small talk is annoying in western countries. People ask you "how are you" as a greeting and they usually expect simple answer like "I am good and you?". In slavic countries if you ask that it is small talk only in places where you need to keep up appearances and actually need small talk, like in companies or smth. If you ask that question you should expect a decently long answer.
Here in Bulgaria it's only half true. When you ask someone Как си ? (how are you in Bulgarian) it actually depends on the person you are asking. Like for instance if you ask somebody you know very well like someone from your family, a close friend or a colleague they might tell you about the problems they might have or if they are sad or happy. But if you ask a total stranger or somebody from your work who you don't know very well they might just ignore you or worse start an argument over this harmless question. Because some people believe that certain people simply don't give a fuck about them like for instance some random stranger or some colleague with which you don't talk to very often and you say how are you to them. Personally for me i used to think it's okay if somebody asks me how are you ? But for the past like 2,3 years when somebody does ask me that quesiton i just get annoyed and cringe a little. Because most people like maybe 90% of people who ask this question (excluding your closest family members of course) don't really care if you answer them or not and if you do decide to answer it they just ignore whatever your answer was. To me in most cases it's just another form of ''Hello''.
Slavic people don’t ask you“How are you?” If they don’t care and don’t smile to you if they don’t feel happy BUT if they DO, you can be sure that they are interested in you and feel happy with you.
@margaret the point is - we do this only when we are interested how the person is. You probably won't ask 'jak się masz' a lady at the bakery unless you've known her for some time.

she's extremely irritating...just like most of north american girls...or english for that matter
It's the overly "Americanized" way she speaks, specifically the goddamn vocal fry. She's obviously either spend a long time in the US or is actually American who calls herself "Serbian" because of her heritage, just like all the "Italians", "Irish" and so on who have never set foot outside of their home state let alone the continent
Sorry if I sound mean, hearing vocal fry always makes me stabby.
I am Black and most of my experiences with Eastern European people have been good. My best teachers were Russian.
Is Black your surname?
@@jansabata3456 No. In the western world, we call people of African ancestry "black". I know in the East, every person who is from Africa or has ancestry from Africa is "African". But in the western world, we separate African diaspora (black) and those living on the continent of Africa (African).
Here in Russia we almost don't use "black" cuz it sounds unnaturally for us. We look at this word like something that came from american culture. Especially from american films. We also rarely use "African" cuz it literally means you are from somewhere in Africa. I can say "African" only if I know for sure you are from Africa. Mostly we use "Негр" (I don't know the most appropriate word in English. You can try google translate). This word means that you are a negroid race person. But I think that for western people we sound like racists cuz "Негр" sounds almost like some n-word.

@@myhandlehasbeenmishandled Cause brazilian culture os very, very, *VERY* different from the other latin american countries. They have their own culture, their own music, their own language, their own food, their own everything. So most of them don't identify themselves as "latinos", even that they know they are... Lol
@@leonardoalves3942 Well, it depends on the perspective. Most Brazilians don't travel outside of their country and virtually never come into contact with other Latin Americans, so it's no surprise that they can feel super different. Those who actually know some Hispanic people and visit their countries can realize that they have actually a lot in common, specially compared to more different cultures.

Since when Croatia is in Central Europe?
They are weird. The title should be "Slavic people", not "Eastern and Central European people"...
It's pretty misleading, because Germans, Austrians, Swiss and Hungarians are Central as well, so it feels kinda wrong when they make Central stereotypes based on what one Czech person said...
Germany is not considered Central Europe
baarbgirl
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Europe
Jan Götz exactly. By this aricle Cro isn t i Central Europe. Following u can read that Cro can be considered in CE by some fact( as some part of Serbia). But further reading gives u a conclusion tha Serbia,Ukraine also can be considered as CE but we all know that they aren t. So I believe what we learned in school and what Britanica said,Croatia belongs to Eastern Europe( south eastern Europe precisely).
Oh I am sorry I thought u answered me. :) :) :)

Yes - we share a lot in central Europe... but not much with East...
@@helenalemakova4874 for me (and actually most of the Czechs ) it is more easier to understand Germans (not by the language but by the culture)
Like I will understand what Ukrainan will told me but on the other hand I will not need explanation from German why he is doing something, when does he become my friend, to know what is polite and what is rude to him, when is good time to ask if I can ask if we can use our first names, when it is ok to ask german girl out,to understand and have same working habits, to just behave during the day same, to know what is correct space between ppl during conversation, what is polite at table, if its rude to jump in somebody speech or not, how to behave in school, when it is good time to arrive at party, what present to give a friend etc... (that all is part of culture (all those simple thing which you dont need to think about) and we share that more with germans and austrian than with ukrainans and we cannot be compared together with ukrainans)
Btw by the genetic we share almost same genetic with Hungarian,Slovaks and Astrian (sarcastic "what aa shock")- trying to call out the background of Dněpr is just about ignoring the 1000 years of our history together with germans next to us...

I've heard the same thing about smiling from Western Europeans. They think people who smile at strangers are stupid.
It's just weird to us. Why would you smile at a random stranger? It's the same thing about talking to random people in the line at the grocery store (doing smalltalk and stuff), like, I don't know you, why are you talking to me when I'm just here to do my shopping? It's just useless so we don't do it.
We do think that. Maybe in a small village it's ok, people will respond to your friendliness but anywhere else just don't do that if you don't want to be seen as weird or don't have an answer.
I'm Czech and when I've been to Amsterdam everyone there was smiling at each other and me, even greeting me on the street. It felt so weird. So I definitely don't agree with you on that, cause the Netherlands is Western Europe too... By the way, I felt so great coming back to Prague full of frowned people haha
Tereza Slavíčková I'm Dutch and can confirm that saying hello to strangers is pretty normal. It doesn't happen always but it is seen as nice. Smiling at strangers and doing small talk happens a lot to.
Nicole Dijkstra thanks for the confirmation! It's nice at first but when you're not used to it at all it feels very unusual and after a while is very tiring for no good reason at all. However I loved it there, shiny happy people keep it up!

By what logic is croatia with its coastline in central europe - its literally in the south and in the east
Common misconception. Russia is not the biggest slavic nation - most of their tribes have either finno-ugric origin - Mordva, Erza, Merya, Udmurt, Chud`, Ved`, Veps or mongolian - Buryat, Yakut, Hanty & Mansy. They have around 25 mln muslims of different muslim religions both sunni and shiit. They have some descendants from Ukraine and Belarus though but they are not that numerous. Ukraine is the biggest slavic nation of 45 million people.

@@rosieposie2404 but from the way they talk u can
I teach English in Minsk, Belarus and I used to live in Vilnius, Lithuania. I always have to explain that when an American says, Hi, how are you? It just means 'hello'. That's all. If they ask, "Hi, how've you been doing?"they are expecting some details or a summary of what you have been busy with, how you have been feeling, etc. And it's usually used when you haven't seen each other in a while, and of course, because you know each other.
Czech people when you meet them in every day life; on public transport, at the shops, etc. they sometimes come across as extremely rude and grumpy and rather intimidating, sometimes just straight up assholes, but when you get invited to their house or go out for a beer with Czech friends or something, it's the total opposite. In that case, they are so hospitable and charming people with hearts of gold. I've had chlebičky, babovka, bramborový salát and štrůdl pretty much shoved down my throat on several occasions while they talk your head off for hours.

Our mentality, our culture, its all much more similar to that of Southern Europe. Your video is a gross generalization!

Great channel.
Indeed, from the Soviet Union making the Eastern people know how to survive the worst, to the south fighting for their independence and identity for years, being dragged into countless monarchies, our people have truly learned to stay strong, stay hardened, but cherish the sometimes little good we find in life.
Our political views might be more about judging the politics rather than actually supporting a side, and our friendships may be few, but we will always find happiness no matter how little we understand the outside or the outside understands us.
