The soul left the Ukrainian girl's body when she said "I think I know Russian" 🫠
and when she didnt know who Zelenskyy is 🙄
Gotta admit, this comment was sad and funny as hell at the same time
Yeah, that's kind of insulting.
Вона така українка як я американець😂
@@user-xr6ul7dr5z Тарасе, вона українка. Хоча і не дуже, як на мене, або не дуже розумна, або, попросту, трохи сором'язлива. Увесь час якась скута. Я б хотіла, щоб на її місці була інша дівчина.
It's funny how Ania is clearly trolling by saying hard words instead of the most obvious answers.
In the previous film, when talking about dolphin, she put in some unnecessary stuff, like ,,o ile mi wiadomo,, which only made it all less legible.
She spoke Polish, what did you expect? Anyway, how was she supposed to answer? Besides, since they knew each other, it was logical that she tried not to say the obvious. The most obvious answers were given by a girl from Ukraine and Serbia when asked about famous people, so it couldn't be easier. Błaszczykowski is a well-known figure in Europe, but I don't know about the US. And Luka Doncic is not that famous, but he should certainly be a more famous person in the US than the Polish footballer.
Anyway, all the answers were on the same level. So I don't quite understand your comment. I guess the idea of these movies is to show utterances in these languages in a natural way.
So I don't understand how they would say otherwise. If a Polish woman gave her name, she would immediately guess where she comes from.
Polish dumplings are very famous in the world, including Lewandowski, so her friend only made it a bit more difficult for her. Which didn't help to confuse her anyway. In my opinion, Slovenian was the most difficult to guess.
@@kazepl8988 Blaszczykowski is not known in Europe, moreover, in Poland he is not even remotely as known as Lewandowski. I could have mentioned my neighbour's last name to the same effect.
@@fandzejka9540 I'm giving facts, not crap like you. In the US they may not know, but in Europe they do. In addition to Lewandowski, Wojtek Szczęsny and Zieliński are also mentioned. Of course, they are far from Lewandowski's popularity, because they know him even in Mongolia.
Either way, if you don't know something, don't say anything. Good advice. ;)
@@fandzejka9540 Kuba is relatively well-known to anybody who follows football, which is most people in Europe to at least a basic extent. Also, Blaszczykowski sounds super-Polish anyway; you don't need to know him for it to be a hint.
The fact that she didn't know who Djokovic and Zelensky were is crazy to me 😂 I get it, Doncic and Blaszczykowski are famous in their respective sports but Novak is more like a worldwide known star and Zelensky oh well...
Nikola Tesla, the greatest scientist of all time, is the most famous Serb, and the most famous Ukrainians are Mila Kunis and the Klitschko boxers. Mila Jovovic is half Serbian and half Ukrainian. Djokovic cannot be the first choice, and it is especially shameful that a girl from Ukraine chose that caricature of the president.
@@mlrd2687 with Americans you never know, if you mentioned Tesla half of them would only now about Elon Musk's cars and the won't even know who the company is named after

Cool it, bud. She likely know who he is but didn't understand the prononciation.
I feel bad for the Ukrainian girl.Felt kinda awkward when Shannon kept saying Russia.But I guess understandable,even though I was shocked when she didn't know Zelenskiy😂
I dont feel bad for anyone honestly, everyone on this world know that ukrainian and russian languages are pretty the same, so I understand why Shannon kept thinking Anya was russian. She had no clues to say ukraine rather than russia so she just said Russian because she worked with russian people in the past and thought it was the same.
@@019bc3 Fine, ok even if this is true, but Ukraine has always been marked as a fellow country of Russia, so how would a 20y American girl know how to differentiate what is russian and what ukrainian? Honestly, talking in general, American people and non don't know much about Ukraine, and just because of that, that's why most of the American people don't care about what's going on in Ukraine and don't care about what weapons Biden's administration is giving to Zelenskyy.

As person from Poland I get that Ukrainian language is confused with Russian (the same as Polish). But it doesn't make it less painfull for me and I can't imagine how awful it is for any Ukrainian in current situation.
PS: And how can you not hear about Zelensky?
Дякую за підтримку
I guess she didn't got the name, because she has just seen it written. There's a difference between hearing and seeing a word, especially if you are not used to a language or even a native speaker.
But with the rest I'm with you. As a Bosniak war/genocide refugee (now migrant), it's a triggering moment when people think and say I'm Serbian or Croatian. Can't help it at this moment. But through my pain and trauma I have to remind myself, that not all Serbs and Croats are cruel brutal fashists and for everyone who is, there are many more who are nice, hospitable and understanding and also just want peace between our three ethnicities like I do. It's a slow process though. In these videos for instance I'm rooting for Draga. She seems to be nice, funny and intelligent.
@@frauerde5282bosniak, serb and croat are literally the same ethnicity, wtf you on about?
Yeah, I kinda wish they warned the American not to say Russian.
Totally! Unintentional but the Zelensky part also threw me off.
OMG, she doesn't know who is Zelensky..It is just unbelievable taking into consideration the fact the girl has an access to the Internet, how is it f*cking possible? I understand that the war is far from her, but that's a real shame
Who the f is "Zelensky"??? Oh wait, that irritating drug addict and a beggar in a dirty green shirt 🤡
bro who pays damn attention to the news, old people, just like you!
Polish and Ukrainian have about 60% similarities. It’s much easier to understand polish as a Ukrainian native speaker than Russian (of course without knowing Russian language).
no, i'm russian and understand Polish. I just little learn it, very little. easier for me to read than listen Polish

It's funny how languages can sound so similar yet you have no idea what one is saying and completely understand what another is saying.

@xohyuuділення слов'янських мов на південну, західну та східну - то повна дурня та застаріле мракобісся, нав'язане російською імперією аби тримати українців та білорусів в рамках міфу про походження їх мов від російської (що є неправдою). На території Німеччини живуть носії лужицької мови (яка, нажаль, вимирає), так от - ця мова найбільш споріднена з українською мовою.

You guys all did a great job in this video👍
When you hear at least once in your lifetime Ukrainian and russian language, you will never forget the difference)) Believe me. This Ukrainian girl is amazing❤️
And she's gorgeous too
Believe me, we will forget the differences! Even Romanians have trouble sometimes when they hear the two languages just as the Hungarians and they are neighbours. Slovakian share so many similarities with ukrainian and still i had a slovakian girlfriend who sometimes shuffled the two. German speakers have no ears to the eastern slavic languages.
Why is she amazing? Only for being an ukrainian? She is a simple shy girl, and we've heard nothing smart or funny from her? Why is she amazing?
I know, you are ukrainian and you guys just growing your nationalities but pls don't denny the facts! Nothing will be 'cool' just for being ukrainian. No language, no people, no region.
Well... by that logic. Arabic is the best language, Iraq is the best country! All the people from Iraq are so amazing!
@@georgschrotten622First, why do you think this guy or girl is from Ukraine? Secondly, the commentator did not say that Ukraine is the best country and should be idolized. Yes, I agree with you that people will not remember the difference between the Slavonic languages the first time. But the commentator said correctly about the girl. Everyone has different tastes. To me, she is truly amazing. She is very beautiful and looks like Snow White. For some, this is already an occasion to write such a comment.
Depending what will you hear. Some words and expressions are very similar. Some are completely different. But you have to pay attention to pronunciation more than actual vocabulary
Ukrainian is mixed Polish and Russian
I love that you included Slovenian, thank you, hi from Slovenia! Maybe now, with this year's Eurovision, our language will get even more recognition and I already know more people are wishing to learn it, so I hope some more apps and courses include it in the curriculum. Love your videos on this YT channel also, I'm a big fan of languages! Keep up the good work!

Because there is little difference between ukraine, Russia, and Belarus.
@@eliasziad7864 Well, there are ways to easily distinguish between them even if you don't speak them (though it's harder for Russian and Belarusian, even I, speaking Russian, have to keep listening for a while to know that somebody's talking in Belarusian 😆) but without any knowledge it has to be hard, as they are all parts of one subgroup.
Ukrainian sounds nothing like Russian. Polish sounded more Russian than the Ukrainian did here!
I mean, Russia is the largest and most relevant Slavic country and Ukrainian is a very similar language.
@@Jdzo268 Ukrainian has more in common with Polish than Russian.
Since when have Slavic languages been spoken in Sweden or the Netherlands? I understand not knowing Djokovic, not everyone has to be a tennis fan and know one of the best players in the world, but not to know Zelensky? Especially now that the war has been going on for a year and a half, and Zelensky has become one of the most recognizable politicians in the world?
I noticed that many people totaly ignore news and they are not interested in politics at all and "some war in Europe" is just one of many news for them, not interesting I guess. But it's still weird when Zelensky is calling with Biden all the time and you open internet and there is Zelensky everywhere. But I also can't distinguish Ukrainian from Russian, I need longer example and focus on H sound, accent depends on speaker, it won't help you much, some Ukrainians sound totaly Russian to me.
Djokovic is more famous than Zelensky. Zelensky is like a year in the spotlight. Djokovic has been playing tennis for 20 years.

You can see that for Rosina, confusing her with a Russian girl was not pleasant.
But most of people just can't distunguish Russian and Ukrainian, I also can't even when I am a slavic speaker too. But what is super ridiculous and not understandable for me is when my language (Czech) is confused for Russian because accent is totaly different.
@@PidalinI'm Polish. Of course, you are right, I also encountered the fact that my Polish language was confused with Russian. We will distinguish our languages from each other because we know that we see these differences (for me, too, it is not a problem to distinguish Russian from Ukrainian). I wrote only in the context of what Russia is doing in the homeland of this nice girl.
I can hardly imagine why it would be otherwise. The reason why Ukrainian is often confused with Russian is the overwhelming representation of Russia in the international arena before Ukraine's Independence. Plus, the Russian Empire and then the Soviet Union did everything to make Ukrainian disappear. There were laws that prohibited the language, dictionaries were censored 'cause some Ukrainian words were considered nationalistic (as if that was even possible), poets and artists who wrote in Ukrainian or about Ukraine as a distinct culture were murdered by the regime, Ukrainian-language schools have been closed one by one in a span of decades, not to mention one or two genocides. And modern Russian continues this legacy by saying that the Ukrainian language is not real, that it is a spoiled version of Russian, and that every Ukrainian is just a Russian who cast their roots aside and must be punished for doing so. I've been born Ukrainian after the Independence, in 1997, actually. I've been speaking Ukrainian my who life and some Russian-speaking dudes mocked me for doing so. I've been getting low ratings in taxi services because I refused to speak a language I did not like (Russia) and some people said slurs to me when I wore ethno-styled elements. During childhood, there were incidents when children who went to a Russian-language school threw sand into my hair because I was talking 'fancy' and they could not understand me. Later I learned that their grandmother was speaking Ukrainian, so they actually understood everything I said, they just copied their father's mannerisms. This attitude originates from the Soviet policy where you are rather Russian or a nationalist and a Western spy. It got better with time. People in Ukraine know both Ukrainian and Russian but because of this hostile uprising, some prefer to speak Russian, for it is safer that way. During the past 20 years, people started speaking Ukrainian more. There's a law that supports the transition by making the services industry obligated to deliver services in Ukrainian (the switch to Russian is possible at the customer's request). Nobody attacks people for speaking Ukrainian, so they became braver and more comfortable with it. Russia does not like that so it brought up the narrative that Ukrainians are prohibiting Russian or attacking other Russian-speaking citizens, so that people with Soviet mentality go outside and start messing things up. So yeah... when a Ukrainian is confused for Russian, we immediately think of all these things and they upset us. We know that others do not mean to make us feel miserable, and that's why we do not say anything. It still hurts, though. The only thing we can change about that is to be more proactive as Ukrainians and visit a therapist, maybe
@@tinnasell4161 You overthinked it, people don't think it's Russian because of politics, they just don't hear the difference and there is more Russian speakers, so obviously, they think it's probably Russian. But most of "east slavic speakers" you meet are actually Ukrainians or people from those former USSR somethingStan countries who don't even have Russian as their native language.
@@Pidalin I did not phrase it properly, my appologies. I've ment that it is what Ukrainians assume when they try to explain the origins of this confusion. Ukraine and Russia are in an informational war against one another after all.

It is interesting to me that when someone hears "DA" they think that only Russian has it, when it exists in almost all Slavic languages except West Slavic (Polish use "tak"; in Serbian we have a similar expression "tako je" - "that's right" but just "tako" means "so, like that, such", ect. and Slovak and Czech use "áno / ano") and Slovenian uses "Ja" but they also have "Da", in Serbian standard is "Da" but colloquially we also have " Ja" (most often in the expressions "ja i?; ma ja" and we have "jašta").

@@karolszczerbien7885 - tastes differ. People like me don't watch sports channels. Talking about Poland, I'd rather recognize film directors, actors or writers, or maybe politicians or military. The first name that comes to my mind is Jerzy Stuhr :)
Oh Shannon I thought u were smarter than that… Sweden and Netherlands? Both are germanic languages 😢😅
Her interest is in Asia, she has never been to Europe.
She is still more informed than 90% of Muricans, they never heard of Sweden and Netherlands either 😀😀
I will watch and like it because Shannon is back!!! yay!!!!
Another proof that stereotypes about blondes are not stereotypes at all 😅
shes more american than blonde
lets see you then
Hopefully there will be a time, when ukraine and its culture finally won't be confused with russia
this won't happen

@xohyuu WTH are you saying?
Just type a sentence into Google Translate and hear that Ukrainian is a completely different from russian language. It feels like everything was recorded here.
Hey, I would love to see a video comparing Haitian Creole🇭🇹 with French, or other Creoles😄 love the videos
"I think number 2 is Russia..."
Triger!!!!!!
For me, a Brazilian Portuguese speaker it's funny 'cause some words like "protein" has a very similar pronunciation so if you're paying enough attention it's undertandable and after that word it's returns to unintelligible😅
there's actually interesting videos on youtube explaining how portugese and russian phonetics are similar. so maybd that translates with other slavic languages as well? hahah
Thank you for an interesting video! I learn Polish so I could understand it quite well. However, I was surprised that I could also understand some phrases from Slovenian and Serbian! That's exciting (I am Ukrainian)
I can't with this girl not knowing Zelensky. What kinda priviliged cloistered life do you lead? How can you afford to block out the war for a year and a half? How?!
Just look at her, she's just an another tool created by Tik-Tok.
She lives in Korea. Asia has different information bubble.

@@alevyts3523 I don't think it's illegal. It's just not comprehensive anymore.
Had it not been my studying Polish, I think as an American it would be easier to guess Slovenia and Serbia because of their basketball stars in the NBA. Zelensky and Djoković are giveaways, too in a sense of global influence.
And Anya chose such weird examples of famous Poles & famous Polish dish that not many would guess Poland after those to be honest
Like Iga Świątek or Robert Lewandowski & pierogi would be much easier for many people
@@mysteriousdoge1298Well, she had to make it difficult because they are buddies😂
How in the world she didn't know zelensky??
Там есть мигранты приехавшие в США в 90-е годы XX века, если она родилась в такой семье, то у неё крайне смутные представления о её Родине.
I initially thought she would call them all Russians. But when she realized that there were people from the Netherlands there. The video has become much more interesting. How can a Slav be mistaken for a Nemetс.
Oh damn, considering the given international circumstances, confusing a Ukrainian for a Russian, was kinda unintentionally brutal.
I mean it wasn't intentional and for someone who doesn't speak a Slavic language these 2 may sound very similar, I find it more alarming that Shannon doesn't know who Volodymyr Zelensky is.
Good incentive to learn some Ukrainian.
@@janslavik5284 Yup, was thinking the same thing. That name is in the news 24/7. AND he's been to the US and met the president so...
totally agree... it was co confusing for lady from Ukraine...
Confusing anybody for a russian was like spit someone in the face
Hey guys! I had so much fun filming this video with these beautiful ladies and my bestie Ania! I really enjoy getting the opportunity to learn about languages and cultures I’m not familiar with and I consider myself very lucky to get to do these videos:) With that being said, i really hope you guys can understand that I do make mistakes and I’m not perfect but I’m here to learn and educate myself as well!

Don't worry, there are always adequate and understanding people, and there are offended by something, it's just the time.
“I don’t know European languages that well”
Meanwhile speaks English, French and Spanish 💀
She is learning French for 7 years, which means she is not learning, after 7 years you should be a master in French or very close to a native speaker.
@@kurosumomo I learned German for five or six years cause it was mandatory. I can order schnitzel and beer. Then I can catch some words that are similar to English or local slang. Learning language without a need to ever use it and lack of motivation is almost pointless. Even my English is getting different - after 15 years of watching youtube videos, I can understand it. But writing proper sentence containing conditionals, not omitting articles which do not exist in Czech, using continuous tense properly (which, kind of, ceased to exist in Czech) needs some effort.
Fioletowy means Violet in our Polish Slavic language. It's not a long word actually and very similar to English. Except it's written with the letter f and the suffix -owy which is like the -ish. So it means "violetish" if you translated it literally. Notice how the Ukrainian girl pronounces it the same way. Another great example how close Ukraine is to Poland 🇺🇦🇵🇱
Emiliana, don't wanna feel you upset but fioletowy/фiолетовий/фиолетовый is a German loan word "violett"
@@Karbon545 Not upset at all. Sure it means "violett" in German. As someone living in Germany and speaking the language perfectly like a native I can agree with you. And I never said it was a slavic word, so don't put your words or thoughts into my mouth. Obviously you seem to care about the origin of the word. It might come from Latin or another old language. I don't care, it's not my topic. But you yourself can research it where the word originally came from. Be my guest. That's your business. Have a nice day.
А что ты понимаешь под Украиной?
All lovely ladies.
Especially the Polish one!
Đoković, Jokić, Dončić 😭
It's a great video anyway! Greetings from Serbia! ♥
It was interesting when they were saying "My name is Shannon."
The Polish girl said "I call myself Shannon."
Ukrainian - "They call me Shannon."
Slovenian - "My name is Shannon."
Serbian - "I call myself Shannon." (same as in Polish)
The exact Serbian words would even work in Polish, it would just sound archaic. If you changed the Slovenian "je" to "jest", it would be correct Polish too. That said, Ukrainian is the closest to Polish. It sounds similar to Slovak, but with an eastern twist to the pronunciation.
As as Czech, I can understand Slovak, to some degree I can understand Polish, but I can't understand Ukrainian at all. Btw jest is archaic in Czech. And Czech version is I name myself Pavel, or I'm Pavel. In Slovak it's I call myself Pavel. This time Serbian was pretty close - I'm ... I can't tell. Weirdly Serbian is sometimes easier to understand than Polish and sometimes impossible. I guess Polish soft accent makes it hard to understand, but words are closer.
Slovenia = Sweden. Serbia = The Netherlands 😂
She doesn't know who Djoković and Zelenskyy are... Yeah she's definitely American 😂
I thought it weird she didn't know Dončič and Djoković. However, I am pretty sure the pronunciation of Vladimir Zelensky threw her off.
@@ginismoja2459 nah you cappin'.
They are all pretty ^~^
This was very fun to watch; I enjoyed seeing how they apparently enjoyed as well ;D
So what are the other Slavic Languages? Sweden and Netherlands? The look on their faces was priceless. I am just thinking if Shannon even knew other Slavic countries than Poland and Russia (which she kept saying instead of Ukraine)
Thanks for video! In what country this video was filmed?
Bring more Eva 🇸🇮
🙋🏻♀️☺️🇸🇮✨
disregarding epically failing Ukraine... since when Sweden and Netherlands are Slavic? :D Geography in US is smth special :D
The Slovenian girl should have said...Melanija Trump. Or Slavoj Žižek lol
I really should have!!!! Omg was too nervous hahah so Luka Doncic was the first one who popped in my mind 😆🙈
I have a crush on Slovenian girl 🥰

"Especially if it's European languages, just because I'm not as familiar with those"
As opposed to African languages?
Asian languages?
North & South America where nearly all speak Spanish, English or Portuguese?
Girl, just admit that you're generally clueless about languages.
And apparently also about sports and world news if you don't know about Djokovic and Zelensky.
The 2 girls on the right were mentioning names that end with -ic, and she guessed Sweden and Netherlands.
Wtf? Didn't they tell her this is Slavic languages only? Does she not know that Swedish and Dutch aren't Slavic?
Щодо відомої людини з України , треба було сказати Шевченко , бо Зеленський став відомий лише зараз , а у світі знають багатьох Шевченків.
Ah, swedish and dutch, fine Slavic languages
Trzeba być naprawdę ograniczonym żeby w 2023 roku nie wiedzieć kim są Zelensky i Djokovic! Straszne!
Amerykanie mają własny świat, i nie za bardzo interesują się tym, co się dzieje w Europie, a sportem tym bardziej nie można od każdego wymagać, żeby się interesował gdyby nie to, że u nas cały czas trąbią w serwisach informacyjnych o tym, że taki i taki zawodnik wygrał taki czy taki turniej, to ja też bym nawet nie kojarzył z nazwiska kto to jest, bo tenis mnie ani trochę nie interesuje.
Zgadzam się z @miosnikgentoo3598 i potwierdzam, że nie mam pojęcia kim jest Djoković.
@@stanislok.7106 Tak samo nie wiem kto to
Americans. That's not surprising. They won't even show you on a map where these countries are. Another world, other interests.
I never watched tennis in my life, but I've heard of Djokovic and I know where he's from.
Sorry, a Costa Rican passing here. I know who is Zelensky, it's impossible not havong heard of him, but I don't know who is Djokovic, since I'm not interested in sports even in my country.
Only reason I would have gotten the languages of Slovenia and Serbia is because of the famous people they said are NBA players
I only guessed Polish, Ukrainian and Serbian languages. Slavic languages are difficult to understand even for Slavic people. Couldn’t make out the Slovenian language maybe because I wasn’t exposed to that language in my life.
As a brit who speaks German, Polish, and Greek all 4 sound very strikingly different to me.
Polish girl 🥰🤗 Pozdrawiam🙃
She don't know who Zelensky is? Omg I literally can't escape this guy, he is fckn everywhere. It's impossible to open a browser and not see him 100th times in a day.
do u live in america or europe?
@@WiktorLyzinski467 you wanna say that in Asia there is no news or something? Or they do not care?
It would be funny if you put czech and slovak
They sound simular and we understand eachother
And so what if an American confused a Ukranian with a Russian? That could happen to everyone. All slavic languages are somehow similar after all. I don't see what's the big deal about that and all these comments about it are totally paranoide. For me it's much more to wonder how she didn't know who Djokovic or Zelensky are when you can read their names in the newspapers almost daily.
She's unfamiliar with EUROPEAN languages but knows Spanish, French..... Hmmm and where are those languages from?
Mexico and Canada.
Cmmon, russian can barely understand when we talk in ukrainian to them. Stop these stereotypes, that ukrainian and russian are almost the same nations. Funny af
Thank you so much for participation of the Ukrainian language!!!💙💛💙💛
dead language
artificial language
Rosina is so pretty
>Zelenskyy
>are you from russia?
HOW? I mean, WHY?.. muricans, please 😞
Upd Swedish and Dutch be Slavic? It’s somehow ok to say “they speak Spanish in Brazil” considering the similarities, but calling half of Europe Slav is beyond by apprehension
why do people comment how she mixed up Ukrainian with Russian, and not comment how she said that Dutch and Swedish are Slavic
I assume that after she called a Ukrainian a Russian (although the languages are very different), it was no longer surprising when she called Sweden and the Netherlands Slavic countries.
@@NickB9Wbut russian and ukrainian aren't that different,its okay to get confused with them when you dont speak any of them,but it feels like she even didn't know any south slavic language,so she just named random European languages
@@kleyzzit Am I the only one who sees a huge difference between Ukrainian and Russian? They sound completely different. Just like other Slavic languages. Even Belarusian, which is 97% similar to Ukrainian, sounds different to me. The girl is 100% ignorant not only of languages, but also of the nationalities of Europe.
@@kleyzzitsounds like your puking out of your mouth sir

People wondering that she confused a Ukranian with a Russian and not wondering that she confused a Serbian with a Dutch and a Slovenian with a Swede??? People writing such comments are really STUPID and paranoide. I mean, Russian and Ukranian are pretty similar, and Dutch has absolutely nothing to do with Serbian or Swedish with Slovenian. Something is going wrong with this world...
Light violet in ukrainian is actually a combination of two words, it's written with hyphen: світло-фіолетовий.
I'm surprised though when she asked for "how to say yes" and got "tak" she thought it was russian! I mean isn't the russian "da" a bit of a meme in US? Not anymore I guess.
But even more shocked was I when she said the last two clearly slavic languages were germanic. I don't speak swedish, but I can recognize it for sure just because of the way it sounds. I would not be able to tell it apart from danish or norwegian, but one can easily get the nordic stuff. And as for dutch - many say it's similar to german. And though IMO it sounds surprisingly different from german (despite some common vocabulary), it certainly doesn't sound slavic at all. So mistaking something slavic for dutch is, well, quite unexpected.
In Russian tak can also mean yes, the meaning depends on the context.
@@xohyuu It’s more of a “so”, for example “eto tak” in russian stands for “it is so”.
@@funnycorner2802 this is a blatant lie. There is no such word in Russian
@@ArchonLicht In Russian, the word "tak" can have the meanings of both "so" and "yes", depending on the context.
@@Yaroslav_Rus а приведите пример, пожалуйста, где "так" употреблялось бы в контексте как "да"
