I'm from Split, and whenever I visit the continental part of Croatia, understanding everyday items becomes a bit confusing. They use different words for many things, but it's easy to pick them up, and just as easy to forget them when I leave, as I do every time.
This is great. I remember watching a video of Croatians having conversations in a street somewhere in the Dalmatians and I kept hearing words that sounded to me like Italian. Made sense right away too seeing Italy is just across the Adriatic.
Goodness God , it took me a moment to remember, a. ..šeflja .😅 There are so many words from German in our area Zagorje . My grandmother from seaside has lots of Italian words . I quite like that Italian mishung .
My mother is English and my father was from Croatia and I am born in Canada. Here when you tell someone to shut the light off you say zatvori lampu . An automobile is a Karu.
isn't it more interesting to learn different words but with the same meaning...and then deliberately use it in a space where it is rarely or not at all used...just for fun
Bogme, ovaj novopečeni "standardni" hrvatski jezik baš i ne razumiju svi, i ja sam jedan od njih! Čovječe, gledamo ja i žena film na televiziji i više puta se samo pogledamo i pitamo kaj ta riječ znači! Imamo preko 50 godina i nikad do sad još tu riječ nismo čuli, ni žena ni ja, pa ti sad reci kako svi razumiju "standardni" hrvatski. Naši akademici koji su zaduženi za izmišljanje novih "hrvatskih" riječi jednostavno nemaju kako više opravdat svoje radno mjesto pa izmišljaju kretenarije. Primjeri: desktop-radna površina, link-poveznica, jumbo jet-velemlažnjak, aerodrom-zračna luka, telefon-brzoglas, helikopter-zrakomlat, bicikl-međunožno guralo, zatvarač (ili po Zagrebački cifršlus)-smičak 🤦♂
We used that word when we wash cloths: perača i prakljaca. Perača : staviš velike komade robe (plahte i ručnike) i onda lupaš sa prakljacom - tako da se roba dobro opere aka bolje bijeli). Ovo smo mi radili koji nismo imali vesmasinu, to Sam ja- gen X.
Croatian standard language is basically artificial language based on Štokavian. It's more similar to Serbian, Bosnian or Montenegrin than it is to Kajkavian and Čakavian. It would be more accurate to classify all these 'dialects' as separate languages (and would likely help to preserve them for longer). Most people in larger cities are using mix of standard and their local so on average across Croatia it all sounds pretty close and everyone understands everyone. However, when people use their actual local languages/dialects from different Croatian regions then they likely can't understand half of what is said. And it's not just words, it's the way things are said, the tone and accents. For example, local from remote village in Zagorje and local from some south Dalmatian island would likely not be able to hold a normal conversation between them in their local languages.
Najbliže hrvatskom književnom jeziku govori se u Osijeku i okolici. Imamo i mi neke svoje riječi ali su one više dio slenga nego dijalekta. Nas teško nećeš razumijeti kao što je slučaj sa Istrijanima ili Zagorcima. Npr. hrvatski književno ručnik se govori u Osijeku a svi ostali imaju manje više neku svoju riječ.
@@box_zero Bila neka emisija ili prilog na TVu prije par godina gdje je utvrđeno da je 'najknjiževniji' govor u nekom naselju kod Karlovca, prema Lici, ako se dobro sjećam. Koliko je to bilo znanstveno ili ne nisam siguran, ali bio je primjer gdje netko od lokalnih govornika pričao i stvarno nije bilo razlike od onoga kako govore voditelji na HTV-u. Slavonci imaju svoj naglasak i dosta riječi koje nisu dio književnog i po tome ih se odmah u startu može svrstati u regiju. Radio sam s osobom iz okolice Karlovca i u startu nisam mogao svrstati u koju regiju pripada baš zbog neutralnog naglaska, izgovora i praktički identičnog govora kakav čujemo na Dnevniku. U startu sam čak mislio da je to forsirano s obzirom da nas je bilo iz svih krajeva zemlje (ljudi u takvim situacijama obično koriste što manje lokalnog govora), ali stvarno je bio takav prirodan govor. Naravno, sve ovisi to od naselja do naselja. P.S. u Zagorju i sjevernoj Hrvatskoj je također 'ručnik', samo je naglasak na 'i' a ne na 'u' :)
Is this some kind of joke that didn't manage to get to me through written YT comment? Cause Jelsa is ON Hvar island and the island IS IN Dalmatia (and the ON and IN are the same in English, standard Croatian and Dalmatian Croatian, where it is "NA Hvaru" and "U Dalmaciji")...
That's exactly why Croatia is Croatia. In its true meaning. And because of that, you can't but love this country and this people.

Thanks for a good laugh this morning, feel your pain.
😂😂😂 You can make me laugh, Paul! 😂😂😂 Greetings from Scarborough!

I've lived in Croatia my whole life, but I've never heard the expression "zatvori lampu". It's like saying "shut the lamp" in English.
@@marko2751that was here in Canada when I grew up.
In Kordun it is called: Sefarka.. love this series Paul!! Made mi laugh!! Thank you!!!
In Zagreb and surrounding area is always ŠEFLJA! There is a restaurant called "CHEFlja" 😂
Ajme meni, majko moja !!....
In Šibenik it is Kutlica
My late mother used the word " Paljić " when it comes to Ladle, and we live in Rijeka.
U nekim djelovima Istre,zaimača(kako se uglavnom govorilo u mom selu),mada se govorilo i kutlača,zovo kopić😊ili Palj
😂 This is something that students of Croatian should hear.
Also on islands of Hvar and Vis in some places is also kačica, so not only Dubrovnik area.
Ova stvar za juhu. ?
See, it's easy, it just takes 12 years to learn...
the language or the word?
hey Paul, how do you say or how many words are there for "sox" like white sox.

Mister Bradbury YOU Are my favorite on You tube
In my house we say "Šefra" which is not even on your map😂 I'm from Sisak and my mother is from a village near Sunja
That's so weird I say kutljača but I am not from even close to Slavonija 😮
Zaimača😊
Zato i postoji standardni hrvatski koji svi razumiju.

You miss "Prakljača"
We used that word when we wash cloths: perača i prakljaca. Perača : staviš velike komade robe (plahte i ručnike) i onda lupaš sa prakljacom - tako da se roba dobro opere aka bolje bijeli). Ovo smo mi radili koji nismo imali vesmasinu, to Sam ja- gen X.
@@i.k.m2836da,prakljača no prakljača nije zaimača😊
"Prakljača" is a battledore, that is a wooden paddle-shaped implement formerly used in washing clothes for beating and stirring.
In Lika we call Šerka !!!
In zadar ist "Kaciola"
That is funny
