    As Slovak, I appreciate the effort and detail that went into this video. More attention could be put towards correct pronunciation, because if a foreigner will ask about any of these places or foods, locals will have no idea what they are talking about. It all sounds like a computer generated VoiceOver. Also, the UFO on the bridge is also a high class restaurant that slowly spins around offering panoramic view of Bratislava.

    The best on Slovakia is that You can eat there the poppy seeds with "sulance" or a poppy seed cake. Poppy seed is the stuff from which the opium is made and is forbidden in most countries in the world, but in Slovakia You can buy it in grocery stores.

      Immature poppy seed is from which the opium as you know it as drugs is made. Mature poppy seed can be normally eaten cause it doesn´t contain any hallucinogenic substance and is safe even if you would eat a lot of it. That´s why it can be used in food industry. But I know it´s not so common in the west countries or in Asia where people mostly know only the opium related to immature poppy seeds.

    To the speaker: Please, before speaking about Slovakia, inform yourself about correct slovak pronunciation! Otherwise listening to you, how you spoil slovak words, is horrible. Do not ignore 13:28 letters č, š, ž, ť, ď, ň, the small sign above is not an ornament, but a softener, making them a soft variant of the given letter. C is never K in slovak, but as ts in English. J is never dž or ž but always J as in German or Scandinavian languages, like Y in Youth. And CH is not š, but it is pronounced like kh in English.

      Such minorities are in every country close to borders. It is not special to Slovakia, and it would just trigger some Slovaks, as Hungarian did a lot of harm to Slovak ancestors. So why poke an almost healed wound. Because you are Hungarian? My great-grandfather was tortured by Hungarians, even had to change his Slovak surname to a Hungarian one to be able to keep his job... and earn money for his family.
      Also this bilingual minority canNOT speak nor correct Slovak neither correct Hungarian language. They speak a local language mixture. I have friends from the area, and they told me that. Even my boss had to speak English to Hungarian business partners, because they could not understand his "Hungarian" language. So they are not really fully bilingual. Which is sad and lost opportunity. They cannot work in Slovak language as they don't speak or write it well enough, as their parents never pressed them to learn the correct version. Nor the correct version of Hungarian language. Again, this is what my friends told me. I blame the parents.
      Yeah, you are right. It is bizzare that you mention it... You apparently have no respect or love to Slovaks to do that.

The beautiful church of St. Elizabeth in Košice and, among other things, the wooden altar of Master Paul from Levoča, which is located nearby, are definitely worth mentioning.

    - C is ALWAYS pronounced as TS and NEVER as K... therefore it's KapustniTSa, not KapustniKa, BystriTSa, not BystriKa, SHtianviTSa, not StiavniKa, KremniTSa, not KremniKa and most importantly, SlivoviTSa, not SlivoviKa
    - G is pronounced as in go, not as in giant... therefore it's Fashiangy, not FasianDJee
    - when you see CK together in a word, it's pronounced as TSK... it's RayeTSKa Lesna, not RayeKa Lesna, and it's PlaTSKy, not PlaKy
    - similarly, ČK together makes a CH-K sound, therefore it's pronounced as ShibaCHKa, not ShibaKa
    - CH is pronounced as in the Scottish word Loch... it's TiCHa noTS, not TiSHa NoK (remember that rule about C letter above) and its pronounced as OreCHova Potuon, not OreSHova Poton
    - J is pronounced like y in "yet", not like j in "jam"... so it's pronounced as Tokay, not Tokaj, as Yanosheekove Dni, not Janiskove Dni and as KroY, not KroJ
    - Spiš Castle = Spish, not Shpeez castle... what we called špíz, is a form of a barbecue dish where you have baked potatos, veggie and sausages on a tiny wooden stick, lol

    Ich ani len vo sne nenapadne, že ostatné krajiny sveta majú svoj vlastný jazyk so špecifickou výslovnosťou. Je to hrubá ignorancia, nevedomosť, nedostatok rešpektu a úcty… Najlepším príkladom je odborná latinská terminológia. Tiež obrázky s bývalou Československou vlajkou, dnes českou , a dokonca s ukrajinskou (8:07) sú akosi mimo. Nebyť týchto hrubých nedostatkov, bolo by to príjemné video.

    Shame on you to read all those Slovak names, foods and cities incorrectly! Nowadays when you can use google translate to listen to the correct pronunciation, there is no other excuse for your horrible neglect in pronunciation than you dont really care about Slovakia or Europe! This is just for views/money. The letter C is always pronounced as "TS" never as K or CZ!!! Shame on you! At least you wrote all those names correctly. Just "carp" is not KAPR but KAPOR, but I assume this is just a typo...

    Thank you for the nice video with interesting facts about our state. However, I recommend to listen to the voice translation of our typical words that should not be translated, but pronounced accurately.
    For example, the word KAPUSTNICA can be pronounced correctly by Google translator. You couldn't do it very well ;-)
    You're forgiven for the effort in making the video ;-)

    Kapustnica - thick cabbage soup with bacon or sausage and mushrooms - and other ingredients - for example dried prunes - recipes differ in different regions... Cabbage soup is traditionally served on the first Christmas holiday, December 25, on St. Stephen's Day, therefore it is called Štefánska kapustnica served with sour cream and fresh bread. must be tasted. BUT the national dish is Bryndzové halušky Bryndz dumplings. Bryndz dumplings were mainly the food of sheep herders. they are gnocchi made from potato dough with fried onions and bacon and with bryndza. Bryndza - Liptauer cheese is a traditional product. It is a soft sheep's cheese with a protected origin, like Parmesan, Roquefort or Emmental, similar to cottage cheese... Bryndza may only be produced in Slovakia and was patented during the time of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy... Unpasteurized - "summer bryndza" is probiotic atomic bomb. Despite the fat content of 56 percent, you will lose weight with its regular consumption. It tastes great with fresh milk.
