Bosnian language | Will Polish understand? | Country Guessing Game
Вставка

- In this video, we test Slavic languages mutual intelligibility again.🤓🤓🤓 This time I did a collab😎 with a fellow UA-camr from Bosnia - Mirsad from @DinaricWolf 🐺 youtube channel where he does reactions to educational videos.🤓
We're going to see if a Polish speaker will understand the Bosnian language by playing a country guessing game. He'll be telling me about 5 countries in Bosnian and I'll have to guess them. Since I don't speak any Bosnian, I'll be asking him questions in Polish.
Watch the video till the end to see if I managed to guess all 5 countries! 🤓

Bosnian languish is serbian....bosnian and croatian nonexiste
Bosnian easy one for me Ukrainian
@@dragannikolic9431 Umm no... it's a Slavic language not Serbian, Serbs did not invent the language nor do they hold sole rights to it. But I do agree that I think it's pretty stupid that Croatians, Bosnians, And Serbs all three would like to be viewed as if they speak separate languages. Besides the use of the Cyrillic alphabet and a few words, it's pretty much the same language hence the officially coined term SERBO-CROATIAN.
Which language do you mean by Bosnian? What on earth are you smoking? Are you under the influence of drugs? Bosnian and Montenegrin are not separate languages; They speak the Croatian-Serbian language.
@@Leonidas_PapadakisOfficial Serbian and Croatian were literally based on Bosnian in the 19th century. Serbs and Croats had to learn their standard language because they couldn't speak that way naturally. The only correct "serbian" and "croatian" are spoken near the border with Bosnia. As you move away from the border, standard cease to exit and they sometimes even speak incomprehensible. On the other hand all Bosniaks speak the standard language naturally with all cases etc. What does all of this tell you smarty ?

Zdravo Mirsade, bio si odličan. Vidim da je česta "greška" u razumevanju sličnih jezika uopšte, hvatanje za svaku pojedinu reč, pogotovo onu nerazumljivu. Ja opet više pokušavam shvatiti čitavu rečenicu. Slavenski jezici su međusobno veoma razumljivi, samo što nam treba mrvica vremena za to. U ovakvom obliku razgovora to sve ide dosta brzo, po onoj - "druže snađi se". Sve u svemu, Norbert radi jako dobre i poučne serije. Bojan 🌄.

Holy shit, knowing Interslavic I was actually able to understand a huge deal of Bosnian! I'm from Poland too. I highly encourage everyone to study Interslavic :D
Woah, really?!?! Tell me more please - was it only vocabulary but also grammat that INterslavic helped you with?
@@amjan Well, the grammar in most Slavic languages is very similar, but they all have their idiosyncrasies, which Interslavic will sooner borrow from than actually help you understand in its own right - because native users will usually flavor it based on their own language.
What is the best way to study it?
This is so so true, when I'm in polish store I understand some things what the speak🤣 I'm. Bosnian
@@VLASPAR Read the basics of the grammar on Jan's website, then read a lot of texts and absorb the vocabulary, I guess.
Joj Bosanac, uspori, čoveče. Zalaufao se kao da ne priča sa strancem. 😅🙈
I'm from Spain and I study Bosnian-Croatian-Serbian, whatever you call it and I understood 100% of Bosnian and around 40% of Polish

Serbs and bosnians has almost same language
@@pianobysarochka728 she is right
@@pianobysarochka728 i just said you are right, bosnian language has a much older dictionary.
@@pianobysarochka728 I mean, i don't know much about Slavic languages. But if they both decend from dialects of a common ancestor how can one be older than the other? That's like saying Spanish is older than Portuguese, it doesn't make much sense to me
I think you mean that the first time standarized the languages ocurred first with Bosnian and as such it is older. That's fair, but i mean, a language can still be spoken without a dictionary, both languages are older than that
Poland and Bosnia brothers! Visiting Poland every year..
Going to Bosnia soon. Watched this to see how far my polish would go. Conclusion: I hope they are good at english...
Try to watch my other videos with Serbian, Croatian and Serbo-Croatian. That might help you get used to the language at least. :)

Hello from Slavic homeland, a.k.a. Ukraine.
I agree that Ukrainian is easier to understand for Polish speakers. I talked to Ukrainian person in one of my previous videos 😀

Hello bratek)) West and East Slavs are only real Slavs)) not Balkans
@@user-qz9zu1fq9k Holy shit a white supremacy symbol? And you don't think that the Balkans are true Slav. How uncommon! You are a free thinker ( Intense sarcasm)
@@user-qz9zu1fq9k Ploho dumaesh bratek !! ;) Privet do bratskoy Rossii !
Haha the parts of Bosnian that are most confusing for you are the ones that are easiest to understand for me, being a Bulgarian speaker. 😉
I love how the Bosnian guy speaks, the tone of his voice is super engaging and pleasant to listen to. I think Bosnian is my new favorite Slavic language haha. (Well Ukrainian is pretty cool too still... 😇 )
Ukrainian is a hybrid between Russian and Polish, Belarussian also ;)
It's no big secret that Bulgarians will have the easiest time understanding Serbo-Croatian. Kad bijah u Bugarskoj, mnogo ljudi nisu znali engleski. Pa, ja po srpskohrvatskom, oni po bugarskom ... i smo se dobro razumeli. :)
Bulgarian is easy to learn and to understand for us Bosnians. You have different accent system but really lot of words have same or similar meaning. Our grammar is more difficult since we have 7 noun cases and you do not have any. But unlike any Slavic language you have a definite artical as a part of a noun. For example a ball = topka the ball topkata. However for most of us it is easy to figure out meaning of Bulgarian words for example Bulgarian word "banica" is same as our gibanica ...
@Neverlandia modern standard language that is in use in Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia and Montenegro is the first mutal language established among South Slavic people and it was based on dielect that was in use in Bosnia and Herzegovina as well as in Montenegro, Dubrovnik area that is now part of Croatia. Most of regions in modern Serbia and Croatia before 19th had had regional dialects that were differing from each other that ppl needed translator to understand each other. Some of those dialects were closer to Bulgarian or to Slovenian then to modern Serbian or Croatian. However you and now one has right to say that Bosnian or Montenegreen do not exist when you say that it means that modern Serbian or Croatian do not exist.
@Neverlandia you are mistaken since one of the first dictionaries of South Slavic languages was Bosnian to Turkish dictionary. In our history we had our own version of Cyrillic alphabet known as Bosančica as well as we used adopted version of Arabic writing system. You do not know what you do not want to know. I could give you a lot of examples as I already have done but it has no impact on you and I am going to close this discussion with the best regards.
As a non Slavic person, but someone who speaks a bit of Russian, I find this series really fascinating. Please keep doing them
Thank you! I hope the subtitles improved your experience 🤓
@@Ecolinguist Very much so! I think this was better than the previous videos, especially with the subtitles as I couldn't understand the previous videos (for the most part)
It would also be interesting to see videos with other languages pairs like Russian understanding Serbian or Czech understanding Bulgarian etc etc
I think it's so cool you guys can all understand each other, cause to me as an English speaker, they all sound soooo diffrernt from each other!
@@shaungordon9737 The English subtitles reveal how often we didn't understand each other actually 😂
@@Ecolinguist True, but at least you could understand the basics and still converse . As an English speaker, I could not do that with any other Germanic language speakers like German, Dutch or Swedish as I wouldn't understand anything at all (maybe the occasional word). Slavic languages are so much closer to each other, which I think is cool.
@@shaungordon9737 😎At least you speak the global language that can help you communicate anywhere in the world really👍And you're learning Russian so you'll be joining the Slavic language speakers gang soon 🕺
I’m from Slovakia but if I wouldn’t live with Polish guys previously I would say that I understood a bit more words in Bosnian which are coming from my backround. By the way I am really impressed by your project and in my opinion slav countries people should have some kind of “meetings” from time to time so they’ll be able to understand each other in more proper ways as we are brothers. 🙏🏻
Thank you for your comment! :)

Not a good idea for other Slavs to be in the same room as Bosnians, Croatians and Serbians. We could make anything into a war zone!! 😂😂😂

Greetings from Bosnia. Very entertaining episode. Thank you for including Bosnian as a part of the series.
South Slavic languages are generally harder for West Slavs but East Slavic is somewhat easier for us. But in written form and having some rudimentary knowledge of Old Polish, South Slavic languages become easier ☺ Pozdro z Polski
@Kyril J not for having hollidays here , already cose grammar and fond of words are veryy similar to Czech & Slovak and Polish , i guarantee for sure , Who don't believe let's start learning Serbian immidiatelly and than we can talk about IT ! :) ))) I think i can tell it cose i almost perfectly know Russian too ( my first foreign language in school , second is English ) and i clear know diference beetwen all of Slavic languages. I learned only diffrent words and pronounciation and i can undestrand Polish, Slovak and Czech almost 100 % & without real learning !!!! :) :)
@Kyril J Thank you bratr ! :) Yes , serbian people very peaceful , friendly , patriotic and very proud of our long brave history & slavic roots especially :) We love all slavs equaly and all good people from whole world :) :) If i can help to you in learning serbian i'm here for you :)

I'm Russian with some knowledge of Ukrainian. I got Polish much more than Bosnian. The idea is great. Thanks.
I’m russian and for some reason bosnian was more easier for me
@@animefeetlover Bosnian shouldn't be difficult for Russians. Just open your mind and you gonna find how simmillar it is.
Я русскоязычный. И хочу отметить, что польский мне понятнее больше. Возможно, привык, посмотрев несколько видео.
А вообще, это здорово обьеденить всех славян такой вот игрой - пойми меня
@@animefeetlover 100% to me the same.
for me as a macedonian i understand bosnian more than polish but can understand polish as well
I am from Belarus and speaking Belarusian there is no problem to understan polish language at all and Bosnian was still easy to catch
As a Bosnian understanding spoken Polish with these Polish subtitles is actually possible, but without subtitles Polish sounds like Czech with A LOT more š,ž and ř sounds and it's very hard to understand anything besides a few words.I am very interested how Bosnian sounds to Poles and other Slavs.
haha. For me Bosnian sounds like a mixture of Slovak and Russian 😂
I can explain the amount of sibilants: Polish underwent six palatalizations (along with Belarusian and Sorbian), whereas most Slavic languages had only four. Basically the high vowel "i" had an impact in the phonology of Polish hence you see a great amount of sibilants (sz, cz, ż, ś, ć, ź, dź, rz). Also some elements from a common Slavic language survived in Polish, most notably the nasal vowels ą and ę.
Bosnian, like other South Slavic languages, sound to me like a mix of Russian and Czech.
@@polskiszlachcic3648 I didn't know about those two additional palatalizations, it makes sense now.And now that I think about it S.Slavs do sound a bit like Slovaks and Russians.
Dziękuję!
@@haliddrobo9117 I'm from Poland. For me Bosnian sounds similar to Czech/Slovak. For example he says typical Czech consonant groups like "prv", "drż" also the "L" sound is very similar to Czech. Just as you say, it's very difficult to get the meaning, only single words are understandable.
As a Bulgarian Bosnian (Croation and Serbian) sounds like old Bulgarian to me. And makes me lоugh here and there.
Poles sounds funny for they extensiv use of sz, cz, ż, ś, ć, ź, dź, rz. It sounds like the whole sentence is a one word.
Chech and Slovaks sounds like S.Slavs but I barely understand them.
Russans speak very soft from bulgarian point of view. And that is why they sound like a little kid to me. It is funny how a big muscolin guy can sound like a kid but this is how i can describe it with my poor English.
Macedonian sounds like babushka from SW Bulgaria speaks to me. I don't want to offend anybody it's just this is first thing that cross my mind.
Listening and looking at the dialogue, I understood everything. Having a good knowledge of geography also helped because of context of the conversation. Trzymaj się, svaka čast! 👍👏
"the freest country in the world".... I laughed very very hard lol
yeah very stupid but what to expect
He was being sarcastic..
for Bosnia USA durring the war in 90`s in Bosnia was the heaven on the earth so maybe its why he thought like that
@@colinafobe2152 They are trying to guess countries in different languages. So it makes sense to use a well known stereotype to help make the example easy to guess. The person wasn't really saying that America is the freest country there is.
@@taylorfaucett7187 of course he used stereotype but the way he said it with his tone and face/body language is also extremely stereotype Bosnian
I'm from Moldova, I speak Russian as a second language. I found it interesting you missed that Norway was a kingdom and the fact that Bolivia is landlocked. I feel like I understood Bosnian better than Polish, even though it is my first contact with Bosnian. Really nice video.
I had the same feeling of understanding Bosnian better than Polish on this topic and I'm Czech.
Да, странно, что он не понял, что босниец явно говорил о королевстве и об отсутствии выхода к морю. Мне было понятно 50/50. Но произношение у боснийца понятнее.
@@pt3085 How is that weird? I'm Polish too and I had a very difficult time following the Bosnian guy, even the subtitles weren't particularly helpful. It's just that every single language evolves in a different way, even within the same family (cf. English vs. German or French vs. any other Romance language). Polish simply shares fewer native isoglosses with most other Slavic languages because of the different phonological systems and external influences (a lot of Latin, French, and German loanwords in Polish vs. some loanwords from Ottoman Turkish, Greek etc. in Serbo-Croatian). If you find it weird that Czech, Slovak, Slovene, Serbo-Croatian, Russian, Ukrainian, and Belarusian sound somewhat similar and have more similar words than Polish, it's because most Slavic languages have gone at least once through the process of "re-Slavicisation" (i.e. trying to eradicate loanwords), which is an anti-scientific, purely prescriptivist, and arbitrary thing to do. Loanwords are a natural part of every single language and we should celebrate them. Fortunately, in Poland, such primitive nationalist movements never really gained popularity within the Polish linguistic communities so Polish typically has more loanwords, especially from German (which Serbo-Croatian, Czech, and Hungarian tried to do away with). But I can forgive those other Slavic linguists who were trying to get rid of a large part of these languages' history as linguistics wasn't really developed then and people didn't understand the notions of prescriptivism and descriptivism.
Bartosz Wojciechowski I don't think you're right. Russian language have much more loanword from foreign languages than any Slavic language. Russian easily accept them and we have sometimes 2 or 3 foreign words for the same things.
I think that understand Polish for other Slavic speaking persons is hard because of pronunciation. Honestly written Polish sometimes is easily understood by Russians but when you speak... no🤣 you need to have some practice in spoken Polish to understand it.
@@pt3085 You're absolutely right, Polish and Russian are the ones within the Slavic branch that have diverged the most from Proto-Slavic, the former being phonologically conservative, the latter the most innovative (the Eastern Slavic branch, in general, is the most innovative in terms of phonology but my point is that the other Slavic languages sound more similar to Russian than to Polish due to similar phonotactics). As for the number of loanwords, I think that Polish and Russian have about the same amount of foreign vocabulary, it's just that Polish has many more OLDER German loanwords as Russian started borrowing from German in the 17th century, and they're mostly limited to military and nautical terminology while Polish uses them in everyday language. You have definitely more Turkic loanwords but Polish has a lot of Latin internationalisms that Russian lacks. I don't know the exact numbers but yeah, Polish and Russian have about the same amount of loanwords, it's just the distribution that's different.

Ja živim u Hrvatskoj, ali moji roditelji su iz Bosne. Nažalost nisam od njih pokupio bosanski govor i naglaske. Zamisli da govornicima drugih slavenskih jezika prevodimo izraze poput - jest' vala baš i pa ja. 🌄

Honestly, I love this channel ! This is crazily entertaining and I feel like I am already learning how to understand other slavic languages better watching your videos ♡.♡
I'm glad to hear that! :) Thanks!
For me as Ukrainian Bosnian language hard to understand, but this language very beautiful! I enjoyed this conversation very much, ty guys!
As Russian I might understand the Bosnian speaker much clearer than Polish speaker! I can’t understand those Russians who say that polish is more understandable, it’s just can’t be like that🤓
Me as Bosnian I find Russian much more understandable than Polish
Many of the words in Bosnian were very similar (if not identical) to their equivalents in Bulgarian. I'd really love to see Polish vs Bosnian/Croatian vs Bulgarian happen somehow in the future. Really loved the video, thanks!
Odlična ideja
Bosnian/Croatian is the same Language.😄
Haha, great video! And Mirsad did well :) As a Bosnian native speaker, I can understand Polish easier when I read it, rather when spoken. I think out of the Central European Slavic languages, for Bosnians Slovak is the easiest to understand. Would be cool to make a Bosnian-Slovak combination :)
Bosnian here, I left Bosnia some time after my 11th birthday. Lived in Serbia for about 5 years. So, I do speak mish-mash language of former Yugo almost as well as a native. Minus the accent. I always had hard time understanding other Slavic languages. Even when it comes to Bulgarian and Slovenian. Polish might be the hardest. I personally didn't understand much. I understood maybe 5% at most. Maybe less. Listening to this was hell. I wouldn't survive in Poland.
Same here. I'm native Polish and south slavic are the hardest to understand, especially Bulgarian. In both cases (Bosnian is classified as a variation of serbo-croatian? That's a bit weird for me) I can hear that they are slavic, but I don't understand almost anything.
@@byali4360 Yeah, the primary dialect spoken in Bosnia, Croatia, Montenegro, and Serbia is one and the same. It's called Shtokavian. There are regional differences but nothing that would warrant calling them by different names. Naming difference is due to political and historical reasons. These are very important to us because of the wars that were ethnic in nature.
Long live slavic world from your friend Azerbaijan! Our first contact was not very friendly but now we have positive relations with many slavic countries. Btw, slavic languages are very beautiful
I thing Bosnian is the most difficult to understand for polish. Even more than Bulgarian. But sounds bit like Czech, at least some part :D
I think it really depends on the topic you're discussing 🤔
It can be tricky ;) when I started to learn slovenian and went to work , it was much easier for me to understand Bosnians than Slovenians, even though these languages have much in common .

@Kyril J It's so weir to experience something like that. I happens to me too when listening to Czech. 😂
In the Slavic family realm the Polish language is like that cousin that disappeared for so many years and came back a new person. You all know him...but do you really know him? He remained the same at his core but he changed so much that he is his own unique and quircky person lol! Still the great guy you knew but just more unique now because of his hard experiences. This is how I view it hence why West Slavic in general is usually difficult to understand for East Slavs and South Slavs
yeah, while being away that cousin decided he would replace some "r" sounds by "zh" (rz), and some "l" sounds by "w" (ł)
@@leikind exactly lol!

I’m Russian and it was not hard to understand Polish, for me more easy Polish than Bosnian
@@CVery45 Bosnian is almost the exact same as Serbian and Croatian so if you can understand Serbian you can understand Bosnian very easily. Polish is very unique. It has too much Germanic words.

Bugari slušaju Brenine i Cecine pesme ,pa im je lako učiti Srpski !
This is fabulous and I loved being able to understand both sides of the conversation. My parents were Polish and I only spoke Polish for the first 5 years of my life in London, my birthplace. I lived in Zagreb in what was then still Yugoslavia for five years in the late 1970s to early 1980s. When learning the language family that at that time was simply known as Serbo-Croat, I found many similarities with Polish when I looked at written sources, but the distance increased when the languages were spoken. Now, both languages are my working source languages in my work as a pharma/medical freelance translator, although when it comes to active use they get totally mixed up in my head so I speak pidgin versions of both :D
Dude your videos are awesome! Can’t even imagine how hard it is to do all the subtitles, but it really helps
Thanks for the content, greetings from russia!

Thanks Norbert.. Great fun.. Bosnian guy seemed super nice, but didn't seem like he understand when Norbert is asking him to slow down. Norbert does a great job picking up on common slavic words, but this was tough. I understood the Bosnian because I lived in Montenegro for 3 years. He was speaking quite fast, I would say you'd need a strong intermediate level to follow that speed. Great video.. Thanks

Polish about 65 / 70%.

@@sofiakomarova7803 It is not just Polish but also Bosniak. Bosniaks where Nakhs or Naks (PatziNAK) and Tvrtko II King of Bosnia said to Poland ruler Wladislaw that "To Pole and to Bosniak where the same grandfathers". Esspecially for Galicia that was under Poland's rule. Poljaci (Polski narod) was not tribal name but name for people that lives in flat low lands (pole-polje). On the other side whole Poland's west that was German during many years was of Sorbian origin. Slovakia on the other hand was Croatian (Chorbatia/HarwaTOTH) - Slovakians call themeselves as Slavs not Slovaks and their land is just like Slovenia = Rep. Slovensko. Most common surname there is Horvath. In Ukraine also live small group of White (North) Croats. In Hungary we have Bosniaks catholics in Pecs varos Baranya area.

Bosanski (Bosnian), Crnogorski (Montenegro), Hrvatski (Croatian) i (and) Srpski (Serbian) su jedan jezik sa razlicitim dijalektima (are one language with different dialects).
Samo nacionalisti zele da naprave preveliku razliku tamo gdje je realno nema (only nationalists want to make the big difference between them where really there is no one).
Staro, zavadi pa vladaj. (Old, divide and conqueur).
Svi Slaveni su prosli li prolaze i dalje kroz to umjesto da se ujedine. (All Slavs have been through that or are still going through instead to find a way to unite).
To je istina ali jer se ne mozemo dogovorit oko imena tog jezika onda neka ostane ovako 👍
There is no Bosnian language. But there is Serbo-Croatian language.
Official versions/standards of Serbo-Croatian spoken in Croatia, Bosnia, Serbia and Montenegro are based on Shtokavian dialect of Serbo-Croatian.
There are plenty dialects (Kajkavian, Chakavian, Torlakian dialects) of Serbo-Croatian much different from Shtokavian dialect (and standards in 4 countries) than the minor differences between standards in 4 countries.
Where's your research backing this up?
@@bosnianvibe This is common knowledge about linguists especially those specializing in Slavic languages.
In simpler words: if you can understand very well people from big cities like Zagreb or Belgrade or Montenegro, it means that you speak the same language, serbo-croatian (or serbo-croato-bosnian-montenegrean language if you prefer this name).
But if you go to countryside in NW or E Croatia, there will be big chance that you will have some issues with understanding Kajkavian or Chakavian).

Many letters, but not so many sounds 😊
In Ukrainian: "Найбезпечніший" ("Najbezpechnishyj")
Bosnian seems a little easier for me than Bulgaria (from the other vid) as a Ukrainian though knowinng Russian helps with both.
Polish is of course much easier but its difficult at first. Once I get used to Polish sounds it becomes easy. You guys pronounce things weird ;)
As Bosnian, I understand 100% of the Bosnian and 60% of the polish, I just have to think about some of the words
Kolejny ciekawy filmik - oglądam z przyjemnością. Nigdy nie miałam styczności z językiem bośniackim, słuchając współrozmówcy z Bośni i jednocześnie czytając opisy w tym jezyku mogłam pewne informacje zrozumieć. Na pewno wolne mówienie przez obcokrajowca ułatwia nam możliwość jego zrozumienia. A jak jeszcze mamy możliwość przeczytać informacje (nawet jeśli nie znamy danego języka) to szansa na zrozumienie wzrasta. Pozdrawiam serdecznie Słowian, tych co mają słowiańską duszę i są miłośnikami słowiańskich języków :-)
Hope Norbert you'll also get some germanic series in future, for example "German vs Luxembourgisch, Nederlandisch, Isländisch - Can they understand it?"

The grass is green. On Bosnian: Trava jest zelena. On Polish: Trawa jest zielona. On Russian: Trava zelenaya.
Трава есть зелёная
Trava yest' zelyonaya
In Russian there is to be, just it's left out, but if you do say or write it, it wouldn't be any less correct.
this is brilliant ^^ love it
My best experience as a Bosnian guy on 5 month erasmus in Poland was drunk talk with polish friends :D
when I read Bosnian and Polish in the thumbnail I knew it was always going to be hard....the mix-up between "kraljevina" and "kraj" was a natural consequence...Mirsad was quite rushing through it.
As a Bulgarian, fluently speaking Croatian, which is extremely close to Bosnian, without any experience with Polish, but with very good linguistic skills, I had a looot of fun! 🤣 🤣
Great video and amazing idea to make this series! 👏🏼

Cześć, jestem Rosjaninem, bardzo mi się podobają twoje filmiki! Obserwuję twój kanał przez dość długi czas, dziękuję za kontent! A teraz o tym filmie. Ja uczyłem się polskiego (jestem na poziomie B2), tak że rozumieć to co mówisz dla mnie nie było jakoś specjalnie trudno. Rozmawiałeś wolno, nie używałeś skomplikowanych konstrukcji albo niecodziennych słów. Szacunek ci za to. A teraz, chciałbym niedużo napisać o serbskim (bośniackim), też się uczyłem tego języka, ale niestety nie jestem na jakimś zaawansowanym poziomie i ledwie co mogę na nim złożyć. Jednak, jak to często bywa z naszymi językami, pojąć da się więcej, niż powiedzieć. Na co chciałbym zwrócić twoją uwagę, tak właśnie na brak znania słów z innych języków słowiańskich. Rozmawiasz z różnymi Słowianami, z różnych krajów, ale akurat w tej grze (mam na myśli grę z krajami) nie rozumiałeś bardzo (naprawdę, bardzo) prostych i podstawowych słów (n.p. Siewier i Jug, czyli północ i południe). Przypuszczam, że nie uczysz się innych języków słowiańskich, żeby próbować je rozumieć, powiedzmy, w pierwotny sposób (wiem, taka sobie nazwa), czyli bez żadnej nauki, równo tyle, na ile ci pozwala twój język ojczysty (No, czyli polski). Ale z drugiej strony, ciekawił cię język czeski, poza tym zazwyczaj dużo się pytasz swoich gości o tym, jak brzmią słowa w ich językach. Dlatego miałoby sens poznać jakieś podstawowy słowa, które są wspólne dla pozostałych Słowian (np we wszystkich językach słowiańskich, oprócz polskiego słowo „jutro” i jego analogi oznaczają „rano” i tylko w polskim jutro to jutro), albo dla grup wschodnich (np u wschodnich Słowian jest oddzielnie słowo dla liczby „czterdzieści” i jest to „sorok” сорок) czy południowych (np zamiast normalnych dla nas słów późno i już Serbowi używają słów kasno i weć odpowiednio). Mówiąc krócej, proszę cię zagłąb się w słownictwo Słowian, ponieważ niektóre słowa są wspólne dla wszystkich Słowian (jak powiedzmy oko, niebo, brat itd) i to jest wspaniałe! Serio, nasze języki są bardzo do siebie podobny, to jakiś sztos, cud ;) Ale wracając do mojej myśli, jednak niektóry języki mają różnice, np nazwijmy zachodniosłowiańskie i wschodniosłowiańskie języki „północnosłowiańskie” stawiając je przeciw południowym. Mamy dużo wspólnych słów, np kot (oni nie maja kotów, szok xD), ważny, rynek, mówić itd. I tak samo, języki wschodniosłowiańskie wraz z południowosłowiańskimi można przeciwstawić zachodniosłowiańskim. Po polsku nie macie zwykłym dla nas nazw, np owe strony świata u was się jakoś inaczej nazywają (serio, kto powiedział że używać słów północ 0:00 i południe 12:00 jako określenie strony świata to dobry pomysł?) słowo dziwny u was znaczy dziwny (u nas dziwny = cudowny”, a zamiast naszej konstrukcji jestem dłużny macie swoje powinienem. Cóż, na końcu chce podziękować ci jeszcze raz, tak że znowu Dzięki! A tak, jeśli będziesz chciał, odpowiedz mi, napisz o swoim własnym doświadczeniu, może wyjdzie nam ciekawa rozmowa, co nie? ;₽ Pozdrowienia z Rosji, a, i tentego. Szanujcie swoją mowę!
Dzięki za bardzo miły komentarz. 🙏🏻Miło mi, że śledzisz mój kanał. Masz rację powinienem rozpoznać słowa Siewier i Jug, bo po czesku jest podobnie (Sever, jih) i miałem to na lekcji z moim nauczycielem Vitem. 🤓Jestem dopiero na początku mojej drogi poznawania języków słowiańskich. Im więcej rozmawiam z moimi słowiańskimi gośćmi, tym bardziej fascynuje mnie zjawisko wzajemnej zrozumiałości i tym bardziej chcę zgłębiać języki słowiańskie. Mam wiele nowych pomysłów na filmy i tematy, które chcę zgłębić. Jeśli masz jakieś pomysły na co powinienem zwrócić uwagę to proszę podziel się ze mną. Bardzo chętnie poszukam informacji na ten temat. 🤓Jeszcze raz dziękuję za komentarz i do zobaczenia w kolejnym filmie!
Ecolinguist Jeśli pytałeś o pomysły dotykające nowego kontenta, to ja osobiście bardzo chciałbym zobaczyć jakoś akcję w której wzięliby udział kilka ludzi. Mam na myśli, jakąś grę albo może jakieś pytania dla gości, moim zdaniem jeśli znasz tyle Słowian z różnych krajów (zazdroszczę xD. Gdzie ty ich wszystkich znajdujesz? Podziel się sposobem) głupio byłoby z tego nie skorzystać i nie zrobić z nimi coś wspólnego razem. Np. Bierzesz sobie kogoś kto mówi po rosyjsku, bierzesz Czecha, Serba i możesz z nimi robić wszystko na co starczy wyobrażenia. Nie jestem pewien, czy ja - randomowy gościu z neta mogę zaproponować ci coś naprawdę mądrego, ale na pewno mogę ci wskazać kierunek. Dać możliwość każdemu z gości pogadać we własnym języku, a potem zobaczyć kto i co z tego zrozumie, pograć ze słowami, np pytać ludzi co według nich znaczy słowo „próżny” i porównywać odpowiedzi, czy na odwrót prosić powiedzieć w swoim języku tłumaczenie jakiegoś słowa, powiedzmy z angielskiego: „przetłumaczcie słowo an arm” i będzie dużo ruka, ruka, ruka i polskie ręka xD. Tak że, jakby to nie brzmiało, a bawić się ze Słowianami można na wielu sposoby. A co twojego pytania, jeśli chodziło ci o naukę języków słowiańskich, to tutaj interes i każdego jest swój, własny, indywidualny. Np dla mnie kluczem w rozumieniu języków braci Słowian jest znanie tego, jak działa gramatyka w ich językach. I również, jak pisałem ci wyżej, słownictwo. Szczerze ci mówię, ten temat nie ma dna, mogę o tym opowiadać stale. Jako przykład weźmy nasz czas przeszły. No uczyłeś się czeskiego, pewnie wiesz że oni go tworzą z czasownikiem być. Czyli jsem - jestem. Kupiłem - kupil jsem. Tak samo robią Serbowie. A my, na odwrót, robimy to w ogóle bez żadnych końcówek. Porównuj kupiłem - Kupil jsem - Kupio sam (купио сам) - я купил (ja kupił). Tak że, kiedy usłyszysz kolejne „my byli” albo „my widzieli” wiedz, to wpływ ze wchodu xD. Nie konkretnie z rosyjskiego, a w ogóle z wschodniosłowiańskich języków. Ponieważ, nie wiem czy wiesz, ale my straciliśmy odmianę czasownika być w czasie teraźniejszym. Po prostu nie ma jej i tyle. Jestem Jerzy - Ja Jerzy. Tak że, każdy język słowiański ma swoje ciekawostki. Mogę o tym mówić bez końca, już pisałem. Więc, polecam ci uczyć się tego, czego jesteś ciekaw. Ale jeśli chcesz dokładnie rozumieć, dlaczego czerstwy chleb u Czechów jest świeży, trzeba się zagłębić. Przy okazji, mówiąc o chlebie, mamy wspólnego znajomego - Mikitkę. Pewien jutuber. Nagrywał lekcje polskiego, wiem że ci się bardzo spodobał jego filmik o nazwie „Jazykofront” czyli front języka czy jak to przełożyć xD. A wspomniałem jego, dlatego, że moim zdaniem, Słowianie którzy się interesują językami, maszyny językami, powinni trzymać się razem ;)
@@Milinq Dziękuję za odpowiedź i pomysły! Tak, znam Mikitkę i nawet miałem okazję z nim porozmawiać. On robi bardzo ciekawe filmy o historii języka, ale mój rosyjski jest jeszcze za słaby, żeby je dobrze zrozumieć. W wolnym czasie będę zgłębiać języki słowiańskie. Bardzo dużo uczę się też z komentarzy pod moimi filmami! 😉👍🤓
Ecolinguist No to super! Jeśli będziesz potrzebował pomocy, napisz, chętnie ci pomogę. Nie wiem ile masz czasu wolnego, ale jeśli chociaż ileś tam znajdziesz, to możemy porozmawiać o językach słowiańskich tyle, ile będziesz chciał ;) Mnie można znaleźć wszędzie, Skype, Facebook albo po prostu tu napisz.
@@Milinq Proszę napisz do mnie maila na mojej stronie. Chciałbym być z tobą w kontakcie. :)
It could even be easier to understand because in some places he didn't use phrases that are probably more familiar to you. For example: he said najsigurnija but he could have said najbezbjednija - the safest, also gore, planine - mountains but he addressed that himself.

"Planina" singular for "mountain" and "planine" as plural in serbo-croatian...in old medieval Polish we had a word "płonina" in singular and "płoniny" for plural (mountains)...
...nothing to do with the word "Pieniny"...;)
so...PLANINA (srb) - PŁONINA (pl)

It is interesting that in Russian we have some words which have the same meaning as in Polish like "гора" (góra) for mountain and some words which have the same meaning as in Bosnian like "южный" (južni), "северный" (sjeverni) but also some words which have the same meaning as in both like тяжело (teža) = трудно (trudno).
🤯Very interesting!
We use "gora" in Bosnia to describe a hill that is from 400 to 1000 meters tall. "Brijeg" describes small mounds up to ca. 50 meters tall. "Brdo" for anything between 50 and 400 meters and planina for anything over 1000 meters.
@@Aboleo80 You must have a precise eye to distinguish those things :D In Russian we just have гора for any mountain and холм for any hill. Btw берег same root as brijeg means coast or shore in Russian
@@ruslan_musin if you don't know the hill in question nobody is going to get mad if you don't distinguish a brdo from gora or vice versa 😄 but the locals know what's what and usually name the hill in question accordingly. It's just there for geographical distinction. We say "obala" for coast or "morska obala" (sea coast)

Thank you Norbert for making this video and being respectable towards Bosnian language. I didn't understand much of Polish but by reading it it's more clear. It's funny that "trudno" means "difficult" on Polish and on BCSM languages it means "pregnant". :) BTW First Bosnian dictionary way published 1631. which is 200 years before first Serbian dictionary. First Serbian dictionary borrowed a lot of words from Herzegovina region. Those are the facts. I consider all BCSM as one language (just different dialects), but any nation can name the language as they wish.
Thank you for your comment! :)
Trudna zena is pregnant woman, Trudovi birthing pains/contractions. Truditi se = to make effort, Trud = effort, diligence. Potruditi se = to make effort etc also Trud is mushroom that is dried and used to start fire with sparks...You can use word Trud to say that something is difficult in Bosnian for example "To zahtjeva trud" or "Za to se treba potruditi" both implying that something requires effort and is thus it is difficult, a bit of linguist support from Bosnia....

As a Russian speaker who knows only a little Bosnian and no Polish, I find this really interesting. I find the Bosnian much easier to understand than the Polish (though maybe that's because I've had much more exposure to it without actually learning it). It's so interesting how some Russian words have more Bosnian cognates (like северный and южный) and some have Polish ones instead (горы instead of planine).
One thing I might add about Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian - They were talking about the most safest country, now, we can say ''najsigurnija'' or ''najbezbjednija'' and both words mean exactly the same and every Yugo know both words. There are lots example like that and tend to differ based on region. Sometimes, there is even a third word for the same thing.
In this case, to a Polish it would have been more appropriate to use ''najbezbjednije'' instead of najsugurnije.
Bosnian resembles some kind of “old Russian” in my opinion, - I recognized many mutual roots) “yuzhniy”, “severniy” for example ) quite similar to Russian)) but Polish is obviously still much more understandable for me 😀
U C K I agree with you
In old Russian "south" sounded like "Ug" or "poldeń". "Yug" is borrowed from old Bulgarian most likely. Although I don't really understand how it sneaked into colloquial speech rather staying in books.
It is from Kiyevan Ros' not Russian.
Makes sense. Slavs around Russia did migrate to the Balkans therefore possibly carrying some of those old words.
@@brat9483 In fact Bosniaks were known as Patzinakhs in Greek or Bashnak in Persian old scripts, and spoke some branch of Nakh language with ~ 15% of Turkic influence. After migration near Kiev to Balkans and nowadays Khalisia decline take start, assimilation and same as Bulgarians were lost native language - our ancestors were slavicised lingusticly.
So thats why Croats and Serbs and rest of you in nowadays time never recognise Bosniaks as ethnos. That Kiev Ros' was biggest lingusticly inflencer on new formed language of Bosniaks - here are some examples that never exist among Serbs:
1. City in east slavic misto or gorod. In serbian grAd in bosnian g'rOd.
That ' is put there to say that sound O dissapeared. Few examples more: Blond/blue: Polov=bs. Plov=srb. Plav, Side: Storona=bs. Strona=srb. Strana; East: Vostok=bs. Voztok=srb. Istok; 1000: Tisuč=ba. Tisuća=srb. iljada from greek Hiljada; World: Ukr. Svit=bs. Svit=srb. Svijet or in modern Serbian Svet. Whole: ukr. cili=bs. cio/vazcili=srb. cjeli/celi.
What?: ukr. Ščo?=bs. Šćo/Šća?=srb. Šta?. Human/man: Človek=bs. Človik/Č'o'ik/Č'ovik= srb. Čovjek/Čovek/Čo'ek.
House: ukr. Hatena/Hiža=bs. older Hiža now Kuća/Toprak/Dom= srb. Kuća.
Durring last 150 years our Serbo-croat and MNE neighbours did almost everything to destroy us and our language. They, during that time did linguocid and clear up all those rules in standard, when I said rules I mean all that what us connect to Ukraine. We comes from that state areas and we are not just muslims, there are catholic Bosniak minority in Hungary. But as Serbocroats did all those things to destroy us lingusticly, they also Croatianised Bosniak catholics in Dalmatia and Slavonia and Vojvodina. Just that small encleve in HU rest. And now they going to them and teach them that they are "Croatian Bosniaks" xD
Our nation in Bosnia are mainily muslim and that is reason why we never think like rest of Europe, about nationhood. We had own ummah and that cost us the most. On the other hand Ottomans kill everyone of us who start uprising or think about our nation. By islamisation we save us on way that we stay in Bosnia unlike catholics and orthodox Bosniaks that must left Bosnia, but we muslim Bosniaks lose any selfrespect about our glourious tribe - that we should be proud on it.
Instead christian Bosniaks Ottomans move christians from Rumelia and Albania/Kosovo/Metohia into our mountains and hills. So they be servants of army..
All that non Bosniak elements result as Republika Srpska, HRHB and 11 genocides against muslim Bosniaks from 1850s until 1999.
I like those languages 😜😍
I just connected some things. "Północna" and "Południowa" is similar to "Ponoć" and "Podne" -[Midnight, 00:00] and [Midday 12:00] In Serbo-Croatian
I'm learning Croatian at the moment, and it's close to Bosnian, so I was able to understand just a little of it with the little Croatian I know and my university Russian. Back in the day when Yugoslavia was a country, all the languages there got lumped together as 'Serbo-Croatian', and even nowadays some people still lump them all together.
funny thing with us Slavs i could understand most of what you were saying and with Bosnian i could understand it all since i am from Slovenia

Wychodzi na to, że bośniacki (na ogół), podobnie jak chorwacki (na ogół) jest ijekavski, bo została użyta tu forma: "na svijetu" w odróżnieniu od (na ogół) ekavskiej formy serbskiej : "na svetu", ale właśnie na ogół, bo podobno nie są to żelazne reguły i wszystko zależy od regionu :)
@@KasiaB Zwyczajne, my, slovjany, zawsze zrozumem jeden drugego. Osoblywe, jak zhyty juzh 2-3 tygodni u tym kraju. :-))
Norbert when Mirsad said the 5th country had no coastline I looked at a map and saw only 2 possibles : Bolivia or Paraguay. If you had a map with you, you would have got it quicker.
Sviđa mi se ova nova zanimljiva forma (in Official Bosnian)
Widzi mi się owa nowa zajmująca forma (in Non-Official Polish adapted to Bosnian)
Podoba mi się ta nowa ciekawa forma (in Official Polish :)
Brzmi świetnie we wszystkich formach! Dzięki! 😂
Robertosław Iksiński what is non-official Polish? I’m from Bosnia, maybe it would be easier to learn that polish and then official polish 😅
@@ranmirmo5787 Great idea! 😂
@Ranmir MO Non-Official Polish it's a form of Polish, which is not used in Polish TV and textbooks, but in Slavic conversations is more universal and practical than "Official Polish", because use synonyms, which exist also in other Slavic languages, even if these synonyms in "Official Polish" are rare or "non-correct" :)
@Ranmir MO
The second sentence is written in an "as South Slavic as possible" manner, but it is still perfectly understandable and perfectly correct. It simply looks a little bit "stylized", but that's all ;) Pozdrav iz Krakova :)
A jeste lud ovaj Bosanac😂
I ja sam Bosanac ali nisam ovako lud! Haha! :D
@@sebastianstrauss9156 :] I ja sam poreklom!
Боснийский сложно понимать, особенно если свернуть вкладку и не читать субтитры для чистоты эксперимента :> Но основной смысл ясен, я только про Норвегию подсказки почти никакие не поняла.
А вообще, замечательный у вас канал, спасибо большое!
Я очень люблю разгадывать незнакомые языки, так что ваши видео - просто подарок :>
Nic nie zgadłem, ale podziwiam za pomysł. Za wykonanie też. Zadziwiające jak wiele słów jest podobnych, chociaż akurat bośniacki mało podobny do polskiego, ale podobny do chorwackiego, chociaż różnic też sporo wyłapałem.
