    Chin up Slovak bros and sisters, same as us Slovenes, you had to survive and endure for thousand years as a small nation in the most heated region of Europe where almost every other nation wanted to assimilate or wipe you out! And yet, here we are, our both nations stayed true to our roots, ethnicity, language! Slava bratje!

      The young lady forgot that Slovakia's 1st Republic was from 1939 to 1945 under Dr., Msgr. Jozef Tiso. Many other great Slovaks fought for independence as Pastor Andrej Hlinka, Dr. Vojtech Tuka, etc. In history we had King Svatopluk and other princes. Yes we were dominated by the Czech government. I agree the Slovenes and Croatia are our real brothers.

    As a Croat that has been in 90 countries worldwide I have nowhere been accepted better as a turist than in Slovakia. I find Slovakian girls better than Croatia /except for Bratislava/, more mature and reliable for their age. General experience with the Czech is fine as well, although a bit more reserved

    Very true observations. I think you're right on point on most of these. But, I don't think Slovaks are more open to change, if they are outside of Bratislava, they tend to be very set in their ways, especially the 40+ crowd.

    Nezapomeň, že historicky Slováci byli 1000 let součástí Horních Uher, kdežto Češi zase součástí německého kulturního okruhu: Svatá Říše Římská a Rakouské Předlitavsko. Tady je podle mě hlavní rozdíl v temperamentu obou národů.
    Jak již bylo řečeno v Čechách se málokdy dabuje/překládá Slovenština - je to spíše naopak.
    A důvod proč Slováci jsou více otevření novým myšlenkám, i když jak říkáš jsou více konzervativní, je si myslím právě proto, že jako nově samostatný národ cítí potřebu se prosadit a sebeformulovat.

  • @PolosLatinos
    @PolosLatinos 5 років тому +48

    From my experience (although I hate generalizing), Czechs are a bit like Germans: not very emotional. Slovaks are more emotional, but still not as much emotional as Poles (one of my Portuguese friends laughs that Poles are the Latins of the North while his compatriots are the Lithuanians of the South). And yes, you are right: I noticed Slovaks feel like they have to prove themselves. Overall, as a Westerner of Polish ascent, I understand almost everything in Slovak. I can even read texts in this language. I have a similar facility when I hear Belarusian (btw, just as Slovaks, they love the word “vel’mi” ;) ). In Czech or Ukrainian, people have to talk slowly so I understand them and reading is a bit more difficult. It is still easier than Russian or Bulgarian though.

      @@akcjaxd7863 What? Poles aren't extrovert! Czechs are much more extrovert than Poles. Everything south of Poland is more extrovert. This is how it works. More south you go you will find more extroverts while more north you go you will find more introverts. Czech Rep. and Slovakia are south of Poland. Please, don't spread this bullshit about Poles. Just because we're catholic doesn't mean we are sociable like Italians or other Romance people. Everytime I ride a bus or train no one talks with each other. It's always quiet. Polish soul is melancholic and introvert.

    I was born in Československo. :) So it1s true what Petra mentioned about "raňajky". People in my generation perfectly understand each other. Czechoslovakia was a bilingual country, but split up. It was very surprising for me when I first realized that there can be langauge problem between Czech and Slovak people. But these misundertandings are not so serious. I almost never speak or write in Czech. I use Czech word when my Czech partner doesn't understand a Slovakian word. You may ask me why I don't speak or write in Czech..... Well I have a good reason..... But sometimes I am not sure in Czech spelling, ot the correct Czech word. But when I see or hear them I totally understand everything.
    It's still normal that I write business letters in Slovak to my Czech partners and they answer me in Czech. It is very interesting that I clearly remember what someone told me in train one year ago or so..... But I don't remember he was Czech, or Slovak? He spoke in Czech, or Slovak? I don't have great problems with Polish, Slovenian, or Croatian ppl.
    To be Slovak (or Slawish) is a blessing! It opens gates in this territory. :)

    I don't know if someone else had written this before but I have to address the language gap. From my point of view as a Czech born in 2000, I don't really have a huge problem understanding Slovak (with the exception of a few words) as we had Slovak TV channels growing up. But I was quite shocked to find out are Czechs that don't understand Slovak and, from what understand, it's mostly the generation that was born in the mid 1990's since they didn't have that constant presence of Slovaks in the TV like my parents would have, UA-cam wasn't a thing and if you didn't pay extra you wouldn't get Slovak channels on TV. That's what I've always thought. 🤷

    I also know from my experience that us- slovaks understand czech language much better than czechs do understand slovak. So many times I had to speak english to them or explain a word or say it in czech. Because somehow I know these words which are very different from in slovak. I think that we watch czech movies, know czech celebs many things are not translated in media while in czechia, they dont talk about slovaks they dont interview them they dont play slovak songs in media, no slovak films etc. I think that´s why us slovak know all of these words that are different... We kind of grew up hearing them asking parents what does this word mean when we hear it.... One time, me and my friends were abroad and wanted to play a game but we didnt know the rules and we saw some czechs playing it so I came to them and said : Dobrý deň, prosím vás, ako sa tá hra hrá? .... they answered : Já vám nerozumím, mluvíte anglicky?........ I said the same thing in czech and it felt really awkward

      Možná to bude tím, že jsme početnější národ a tudíž máme větší vliv na vás, než naopak vy na nás. Čeština je zkrátka používanější jazyk, hlavně mnohem více Slovaků je vystaveno češtině (spousta slovenských studentů), než Čechů vystavených slovenštině, takže to i novou generaci zkrátka nutí rozumět česky.
      Nakonec bych chtěl alespoň za sebe říct, že se slovenštinou, ač jsem nevyrůstal v Československu, vůbec nemám problém a pochybuji, že to bude napříč mojí generací jinak. Jako opravdu, naše jazyky jsou téměř totožné, takže ty příklady toho, že bychom si nerozuměli, mi přijdou přehnané.

Ale u svojí dcery, která se se Slováky setkala jen krátce na výletech po slovenských horách, vidím, že často nerozumí - asi tak jako rozumím já rusky 30 let od školní ruštiny :D Osobně preferuju filmy ve slovenském znění (originálním), slovenština mi vždy připadala libozvučná a rozumím jí, tak co. Slevnské hlasatelky, moderátoři v ČT mi nijak nevadí, naopak. I audioknihy od Dominika Dána namluvené fantasticky Mariánem Geišbergem posluchám v originále, knihy čtu taky v originále, proč sakra překládat něco, co je na 95 % shodné s češtinou? Navíc nikomu neuškodí se trochu přiučit slovensky.

      My polish hair dresser has some older polish ladies that come and they thought i was polish. I’m half czech. she understands czech as well. The older polish ladies welcomed me right into the chatter. I’ve never been spotted as an eastern european before. I was so happy. I’m also half french, not not french enough to be fully embraced. Basically i don’t feel enough of either culture for the people of that culture to embrace me. I do know how to cook dishes on both sides. my czech side raised me to be more suspicious of governments and who o give my information to. :)

Je to zřejmě i tím, že mám část rodiny na Slovensku (jako většina lidí tady). Pokud ovšem mluvíte s někým z Čech, může to pro něj být méně srozumitelné. Ale je to spíš tím, že je to dál. To samé platí u Slezska, kde víc rozumí polštině. Je to prostě o tom, ke kterému státu to má člověk blíže.

      Slovenština je řeč která má s češtinou opravdu mnoho společného avšak i mnoho rozdílů a ty nejsou pouze v řeči ale i v trošku odlišné mentalitě obou národů, je to zřejmé jelikož já jako Čech mám trošku jinou mentalitu nežli kupříkladu Moravák a ještě více odlišnou co se Slováků týče.

    Slovenians are also very German (or Austrian) our mentality is also quite German and our country is constantly mistaken for Austria. Some Slovenians might not like to admit that, but it's true. And Slovenia is also the richest country in "former eastern Europe" even richer than Czechia :P (I still love Czechia though XD) (and Slovakia). And Slovenian is very difficult for anyone to understand as far as I know. So many slavic speakers barely understand us at all, probably because our words are so different and weird (as what I've heard) and our pronunciation is strange. We pronounce our Vs like Us and our Ls like Us sometimes too XD. And we have 3 "E" and two "O" sounds, which are quite distinct and mean different things if not used correctly (they have these sounds in Germanic languages too XD). And you just have to remember which E and O sounds to use because for some reason we don't write them because we're quite silly. When lots of Slovenians go to Croatia for holiday, they just speak English because if we spoke Slovenian, they probably wouldn't understand us at all. ...oh well `~`.

      Yes we were a German ally. All result of Munich betrayal in 1938 - a bit of practical solution and a bit of cowardice of UK and France. Before the Germans attacked the Soviet Union, the Slovak state had been recognized by USSR. In the end, we needed to survive - also a bit of practical solution and a bit of a cowardice. BTW President Benes (Check Nationality) had submitted to the Munich treaty and then fled to the UK. He was a coward as well. If Tiso (President of the Slovak State) should have been executed after WWII then for sure Benes should have been hanged in the first row. But he was not. Politics. Despite all written - Checks and Slovaks have good relationships, many families are mixed. Our nations probably had the calmest divorce in the new age history.
