  • In this video, we dive deep into the captivating world of language mutual intelligibility, exploring the intriguing connection between two Slavic languages, Serbian and Polish. Mutual intelligibility, a fascinating phenomenon, allows speakers of closely related languages to understand each other without any prior exposure or formal training in the other language.
    Whether you're a Serbian speaker with a curiosity for Polish, a Polish speaker intrigued by Serbian, or even a speaker of other Slavic languages eager to unravel the linguistic bonds, this video provides an exciting opportunity to put your language skills to the test. Discover the mesmerizing similarities and subtleties that unite speakers of these Slavic languages.

    I am a native Serbian speaker and fluent in Polish. To be honest, the Polish guy was more generous and tried to make it easier to guess, so he didn't use a lot of tough, complicated, and complex sentences - to be more understandable. The Serbian guy used more complicated phrases and language. Anyway, the video was very interesting. Thanks to all who took part in this project. 🙂
    Here's an interesting fact: Polish people pick up Serbian quite quickly; it's kind of easy for them (I teach Serbian in Poland). On the other hand, for all South Slavic people, generally speaking, learning Polish is challenging. There are lots of consonants, difficult pronunciations, and more complicated grammar, even though there are lots of similarities as well.

      I'm curious, what, in your experience, makes Polish grammar significantly harder than Serbian grammar? They're both Slavic languages, with highly inflected nouns, for case, gender, and number. Adjectives agree in case, gender and number with their nouns. They both have verbs that inflect for number and person (and gender in the past tense), with a perfective and imperfective version. Serbian even has an additional past tense to Polish. Wouldn't their level of complexity be similar? In fact Serbian syntax is a bit more specific and complex because of Wackernagel's Law of clitics in second position.
      Is it the more complex declensional patterns of Polish? The more common irregulars? The slightly more complicated use of numbers?
      What would you say you find harder?

    • @Ivan-fm4eh
      @Ivan-fm4eh 4 місяці тому +4

      @@ArturoStojanoff The numbers more fully decline in Polish (e.g. lots more forms for the number 2, 3, etc.), there are a lot of perfective verbs that are totally different from the imperfective (widzieć/zobaczyć, brać/wziąć, oglądać/obejrzeć, etc.), sometimes the frequentative verb is not the same as the imperfective (chodzić/iść/pójść), the verbs of motion are like Russian much more specific, neuter adjective and adverb endings are not the same, etc.
      Not dramatically more difficult, but I would say harder nevertheless.

      The problem is that the pronounciation is sometimes very different, so you might not catch a word you already know. I understand the Serbian guy at over 80%, but sometimes I miss things. My parents were born in "Yugoslavia", but being born in North America, I wasn't exposed to Serbian like a native speaker.

    • @Ivan-fm4eh
      @Ivan-fm4eh 8 днів тому +1

      A lot of the difficulties come from Polish "softening" so many of its consonants, often in ways unexpected for a Serbian/Croatian speaker.
      Example: prestani! (stop in S-C) is przestań! in Polish (which would be written like pšestanj in S-C) It could throw you off completely if a lot of pre- words were pronounced as pše-.
      That's just one example. Another was rzadko (žatko in S-C spelling) which is actually retko in Serbian. When you see them written, it's a bit easier to see a common root, but spoken? Very different.

    They both talk very fast. One of the keys to the language intelligibility is slow talking, stressing on the intonation and giving more detailed information on the key words. It is not only what level you are. We believe his English is C2 but at this level he should have learned that speaking must be done slowly in order for the other part to understand. Especially when they speak different languages.

      @@WeRektEconomy Take it easy. At no point was I rude or offensive in my comment. The criticism was not pointed at you personally, but as a general observation to people who speak their native language fast and expect the other side to get it. I am in no position to lecture you how to speak. It is totally up to you. I am pretty good at understanding Serbian, actually if they speak slower I get more than 85-90%. However, listening to news for example, when they speak fast, that percentage drops to 30-40%. This is the difference it makes between slow and fast. When I talk in a native language to other Slavic speakers, I do realize how they would struggle with understanding my fast speech. I slow down a little and guess what - they get it much better. My experience proves my point. And you do not have to agree with me. I used the language level as a reference that someone stressing at his/her language level should at least know the very basics of speaking and language intelligibility. And I think the point of these videos is to demonstrate the language intelligibility where speed has proven to make an essential difference. Not just "shooting" words like the AK-47, using it as an excuse that this is how we all speak our native languages naturally. Again, this is just my personal opinion.
      All the best to you.

      It depends on a lot of things like where from in Serbia is your friend and where has he lived most of his life. Is he even from Serbia? A lot of Serbs, just like many people from neighboring nations, have been born elsewhere. For example, there is plenty of Serbs that have been born in the US. They all have their own accents, and pronunciation and speed at which they speak is different.
      In my case for example, I am Bosnian, originally from Sarajevo. But I've spent part of my life in Serbia. My maternal family is Serbian so I have lost much of my Bosnian accent. Most of my life I have lived in Chicago. And even though I speak whatchamacallit language every day and live with my grandmother, sometimes she can't understand me, and not just because she is old. I speak faster and I mix Bosnian and Serbian pronunciation and sound emphasis. Sometimes I also use words that are mostly used by Bosnians and Croats even though they don't sound that different from Serbian she has hard time understanding them at first.
      tl;dr Different parts of Serbia have different pronunciation and sound emphasis, but let me tell you about myself...

      He seems to have a Croatian dialect. This is especially noticable when he said ,,napraviti doma" (to make at home) whereas in Serbian we would say it as ,,napraviti kod kuce". There were a few other instances where you can also hear it in his inflection where it sounds more Croatian than Serbian.
      Also regarding the last hint, the word ,,umiti" is a Serbian word meaning ,,to wash one's face", so you can say ,,Umij se" which would translate to ,,Wash your face".

Only when I moved north did I start using the Serbian variant. I noticed a lot of such examples, for example, we use Železo instead of Gvoždje.

The Serbian guy looks like he’s a quick thinker/smart so he’d probably outperform 99% of his countrymen in understanding Polish especially considering some Russian knowledge. Polish guy was good too because it’s not easy when person speak that fast the languages are not that close.

"Kashubi" , "Luzicki Srbi or Wendischen Serbs" are remains of old Serbs that lived in central Europe.

    i mistakenly said "sapun" was a turkish borrowing when it's actually latin (sāpō). sorry!
    i also COMPLETELY missed the correlation of polish "umyć" with serbian "umiti". i noticed while captioning and i felt pretty bad about it. i *did* connect the dots anyways with the help of russian, but still.

      If definitelly taken from the Turkish variant ''sabun'' which was borrowed by the Persian one ''saabun.'' After all it doesn't matter since that word is proven that is from Indo-European origin. The native one ''milo'' which is archaic comes from another origin from the same Proto Indo-European language, despite we recently replaced ''milo'' for ''sapun.''
      Honestly we should bring back this word since it's more understandable to other Slavic speaking countries than ''sapun.'' Plus it's in Interslavic too. Greetings for nice video and весели празници to you. :)

    There is in Serbian language, another word for ''soap'', it is ''milo'' (мило) yet it is not used often as ''sapun'' unfortunately. Yes, Andrej spoke fast, and he is having sort of strange accent which he probably picked up from his parents, and I would guess they came from western parts of former Yugoslavia. Another thing is, the Serbian verb with a same meaning as ''prati'' (to wash) is also ''miti'' (мити) and is related to Russian and all other Slavic languages. Example : ''Ja mijem ruke'' (Ја мијем руке) (I wash (my/me) hands) and also ''Ja perem ruke'' (same meaning) I never have been in Poland, but I like to watch Polish movies and compare English subtitles with what I hear in Polish, and with that I can easily understand like 90% of Polish. It is just the matter of accent and styling, basically Serbian and Polish are quite close if you try bit harder and get into those. Greeting to our Slavic brothers and sisters in Poland !

      ''Мило'' exists in Bulgarian too as soap but it's archaic. ''Мити'' is used differently like ''мити зеленчуци'' (washed vegetables). And it's funny how ''миjем'' and ''мием'' are kinda swapped in Bulgarian:
      Аз мия ръце (I wash hands)
      Ние/ний мием ръце (We wash hands)
      However we more often use ''измивам or измия''
      Ререм is used to wash clothes like:
      Аз пера дрехи; Ние перем дрехи.

    My two favorite Slavic languages (except for my native Russian, of course). Thank you very much for this video.

    Andrej spoke very fast during the first word, so it was hard to understand him without the subtitles. During the second word it was better, but I still had to listen very attentively.
    I can definitely say Russian is much closer to Polish in terms of morphology and grammar, but closer to Serbian in terms of pronunciation and almost equidistant from both in terms of vocabulary.
    For example: Serbian / Polish / Russian
    buttons - dugmad / guziki / knopki
    accordion - harmonika / akordeon / akkordeon
    rails - šine / szyny / reljsy
    tram - tramvaj / tramwaj / tramvaj

The word "prati" is more generic,can refer to washing anything from yourself to staff,but usually in a meanining "to wash your body(can include face or hair)",then it's "prati(se)".In other situations is just "prati" in a meaning of washing something else,by hand or in a washing machines.Anyway,I think that mostly slavic word "mylo" or "mydlo" for soap is in relation with our word "umivati" or "miti",like "something what is used for washing yourself".

      Difference between words "naprawić" and "poprawić" in Polish is very small and very relative. In Czech difference between word "napravit" (as "to fix" or "to set") and word "popravit" (as "to execute" as to kill) is much more bigger and is not relative :)

      In Bulgarian it's just ''да направя'' (da napravja). However we used to have ''направити'' (napraviti) infinitive form in the past but no longer.
      Bulgarian and Macedonian are the only Slavic languages that have no infinitive froms, while Serbs have it too but they also don't use it all the time like the Croats. They use the conjugation with ''da + verb'' like Bulgarian, while Croats use this rarely.

To je zato što srpski ima čiste samoglasnike a, e, i, o, u, slično kao u latinskim jezicima, a ni suglasnici se previše ne razlikuju.

      Yeah him and that ukrainian dude with the long hair speak way too much and I barely understand anything they're saying lol. When speaking with another slavic language less is more. You want to communicate things in the shortest and simplest way possible. For me at least the more the person speaks the more I lose track of the context. Maybe it's because bulgarian has totally different grammar from all these other languages, so picking up words and connecting them is the only way. And obviously the more unknown words, the worse it gets. With serbian it's weird, some of their words are practically the same in bulgarian and others are like alien language, or have a totally different meaning.

      In modern Russian, the butt of a bird is called "guzka". Also, in Old Russian, it probably just meant a butt.
      There is also a very funny Medival Novgorodian document/letter in which a guy wrote, (most likely replying to his brother), that "A lusty guzka f**ks another guzka".
      It was probably a joke in which he created this weird metaphor to convey that his brother's idea is as silly as a butt trying to penetrate another butt (we don't know what was he replying to, but it is clear he doesn't like the idea).
