Hi, Norbert, can you make a Dutch-German test? This would be awesome. BTW: Your channel is the biggest inter language relationship field study on this topic. Did you ever plan to write a doctoral thesis about this?
@@FrauWNiemand this would be most interesting. From what I gathered by hanging out with a bunch of German friends who studied at Maastricht University in the Netherlands, it was very easy for them to understand Dutch after a very short time while living in the country and facing written and spoken Dutch every day. They said having German as their first and English as their second language was key. I might add they were all from around Köln so maybe proximity helped a little too... Awesome video idea nonetheless.
That was super easy for me as well. I am also native polish speaker but i can also understand russian. Knowing russian vocabulary gave me an extra edge.
you only think you can understand 95% but thats impossible. There are SO MANY false friends between the two languages. Plus, you can understand only casual communication. You wouldn't be able to understand someone speaking in more professional way.

isn't Czech and Slovak pretty much the same language with not that big difference? While I lived in Czechia my friends from Slovakia were talking to Czech people with no issue, and Slovak speaking people were taking Czech classes

Thank you! It was so much fun to play this game with you, congratulations to you all, Norbert, Agata and Patryk, for being so good at understanding Slovak! :)
Your pronunciation is so clear, that I - speaking Ukrainian and russian - understood everything you said - every word - without making an effort. It's weird that I understand zero percent spoken Czech, even if it's spoken slowly and deliberately, while Czech and Slovak are supposed to be 90% similar.
@@tally1604 Because Czech sound harsher and Slovak so soft. For us Czech, Slovak is like far cute and weird Czech dialect. We understand almost everything when we talk mainly because of 75 years of same state. If Czechoslovakia didnt exist we wouldnt understand that much for sure
This is a very strange and cool feeling. I never learned a word in Slovak, but being a native Polish speaker, I understand like 90% of what she's saying. Really shows how closely related our West Slavic languages are.
Great to hear! I spent some time in Belarus in summer 2019. Sometimes was it really easy to understand and being understood, but I believe the key is an amount of exposition time. When I heard Russian language for the first time as a kid, I was just standing looking really dumb trying to figure out familiar sounding sound with incomprehensible words :)
I feel like Slovak is a perfectly balanced Ligua Franca for Slavic Languages. Nearly all Slavic Nations can understand Slovak quite well. Perhaps it's also because Slovakia is right in the middle among Slavic Nations. We should learn Slovak as second language in every Slavic country, hej! :)
I like how Slovak is so intelligible for all of its Slavic neighbours. I have even seen Russian and Ukrainian comments here saying they understand Slovak surprisingly good. And ślub is such a nice word for a wedding. It makes sense cause you kind of make a promise to each other. Pěkné video :)

As a Ukrainian, understood about 95%, but that's mostly because Paulina was speaking as clear and slow as it necessary for foreigners. When Slovaks have their ordinar rapid conversation, I barely understand about a half.

Prešla som väčšinu komentárov a teší ma, že je pre vás slovenčina taká zrozumiteľná. Ja už sa chytám na poľštinu. Ďakujem, Norbert.
I'm French. I don't know anything about Polish or Slovak so I don't understand anything without the subtitles. But what's interesting for me with the video is to study the phonetics and try to understand a bit about the grammar and everything without knowing anything about the languages.
Well if we're going to be honest, All Languages are all connected one way or another. Also I'm just a random teenager, So I'm just saying on what's on my mind.
Yes I agree, I’m definitely seeking for more information on Slovak and Polish after watching this video. Basic grammar and so on. I can’t go on living without understanding them anymore.
Pronunciation in Slovak is almost the simplest thing in the world, you just have to know 2 things, first is Slovak alphabet and how letters are pronounced and second is, after you learn alphabet the rule is write as you hear/ read as it's written, so basically every single letter has its own voice that doesn't change and you just combine those sounds of each letter to make word and words combine to sentences etc. But that's all that is easy about Slovak language.
Why do you feel Polish is beautiful? I think it's the first or maybe second time I hear someone saying that :) I'm really curious how it sounds to other nations. As I am a native speaker, I will never hear it like someone who doesn't know it :)
I'm an American with Polish and Slovak mother and father (respectively). My Polish is broken at best, but was able to pick words and phrases out. This is essentially immersion for me. I'm very proud of both countries of my ancestors.
I'm from Slovakia, I love Poland, I often go on a vacation to Poland, learned some Polish by watching movies and listening to Polish songs, really helped me, I can easily talk to people in Poland using Slovak but when the word is completely different from the Polish one and I know the Polish version of it I usually mix Slovak and Polish and It works perfectly, absolutely unnecessary to use English in Poland
When I went to Slovakia no Pole ever spoke English there everyone just used Polish :_: and Slovaks used Slovak too I remember reading some texts in Slovak and laughing how funny these words sounded
@@shion3948 yeah same literally. I've been to Slovakia a few times born in Poland and I can mainly understand it. Like reading is more difficult then hearing it but it's understandable. There were polish and Slovak signs and it's true that no pole speaks English there 😁
Polacy często przesadnie wyolbrzymiają niewielkie różnice w wymowie wielu tych samych słów w czeskim i słowackim i to jeszcze w niewłaściwym kierunku. No ale nie zostały tu omówione po słowacku žiadne čučoriedky s mliekom ako raňajky pre ťavy vo štvrtok. Dla ułatwienia po czesku: žádné borůvky s mlékem jako snídaně pro velblouda ve čtvrtek :)
Też mam takie wrażenie. Pracując za granicą że Słowakami o wiele łatwiej można było się dogadać, Czesi byli trudniejsi do zrozumienia. Słowacy mówili że łatwiej nas zrozumieć, niż żebyśmy zrozumieli co oni mówią 😊
This may be an old joke for some of you ... A Slovak was in Warsaw looking around and a Pole came up to him and asked, "Szukasz mieszkania? " and the Slovak replied, "Nie, meškám na šukanie. "
@@kys7615 Yes, that is true. But even Poles who know that "Szukasz" means you "f-word" in Slovak, they often don't know that meškám = I am late (for) ...
That's odd, I didn't knew this one. Oh wow, it's good to know though, I had no idea polish word "szukanie" sounds so vulgar in Slovakian. But then again there is a wine brand Šukac, curious and curiouser...
Slovak language is without doubt a key to all Slavic languages. All Slavs can understand Slovak quite well. Learn Slovak and all Slavic languages will become easier.
Watching this video, I've came to an astounding conclusion that, for some reason, Slovak and Croatian are basically one and the same language spoken in two different dialects. These two are probably most closely related among all Slavic languages.
@@danyelkodany656 It's quite obvious that we're talking about the same nation that has split itself into two separate countries, one continental and one mediterranean.
I often see Russians not being able to understand Czech or Poles not understanding Russian, and so on. But the one that they all can understand the best seems to be Slovak. That's awesome.
I’m Russian and Slovak is extremely understandable! It sounds crystal clear to me, unlike Polish (peculiar pronunciation) But written Polish gets much easier to grasp. Recently I found out that Slovak can be understood up to 90%. (especially if you listen to it more attentively 2-3 times)

It has different accent and sounds a bit like rustling paper, but words are very very similar and generally I haven't problems to understand. Greetings to Slovaks, Poles and Czechs! I would like to watch czech-polish-slovak conversation, it would be very interesting.

Nedávno ma zaujalo že Slovensko má 5 a pol miliona ludí, česko 10 - 11 milionov ludí dlhšiu dobu... Keď si pozriete rozlohu štátov tak Holandsko má menšu rozlohu štátu o 8 tisíc kilometrov než Slovensko ale obyvatelov majú tri krát viac 17 milionov... Možno je to tým že vyrúbali lesy kôli pestovanu tulipanov alebo maju menj hôr. ...Podobne Taliansko má 60 milionov ludí na 300 tisíc kilometrov. Dánsko má asi tolko kilometrov čo Holandsko a tiež majú 5,8 miliona obyvytelov.
Im Polish and i can understand 80-90% of Slovak, and maybe 50% Czech. Its weird, cause for Slovak people Czech language is so easy to understand. For Poles - not really. Dziwne, że Czeski i Słowacki są niby tak podobne do siebie (przynajmniej dla nich), a mimo to zrozumieć Czecha jest nieporównywalnie ciężej niż Słowaka.
Omg, myślałam przez chwilę, że Pani mówi normalnie po polsku, tylko z silniejszym akcentem. Jestem w szoku, wszystko zrozumiałam. Fajnie się słucha słowackiego. Myślałam, że to czeski jest podobny, a tu szok :o
Мой родной язык - русский. На 90 % понятны оба языка. И словацкий оказался легче в понимании по написанию и на слух. Польский - немного сложнее, но можно понять некоторые слова и подогнать по смыслу. Всё отгадала ! Это интересно! Благодарю, Норберт!

Može, ce hvala slovačskomu jezyku, a može, že hvala jej.
Polish shares with Ukrainian a significant part of vocabulary too. I think for Ukrainians Polish is more difficult to understand due to its specific pronunciation.
A couple of years ago I had no clue about slavic languages. Now l am learning Czech with great passion and this wonderful channel has caught my interest in other slavic languages, like for example Polish. It is so rewarding to be able to understand some of it. Thank you so much, Norbert. Big cup of satisfaction for me. :) Pozdravy z Rakouska!
@@pitur5492 Hi Pitur. No, I am not. The ski jumper is spelled "Schmitt". But thanks for noticing. Schmidt is amongst the most common surnames in Austria, Germany and Switzerland. Martin is very common too, so there is tons of people with that name. It is like an Austrian version of a "Jiří Novák" or something :)
I am Serbian and my wife is half Slovakian half Serbian and she have some Polish ancestry from her fathers side, and we understand all of Slovakian words in this video but not so much Polish... I have so many Slovakian friends from the place called Kysac here in Serbia, but they use a hybrid language, with many Serbian words, but I love pure Slovakian more
Finally Slovak language! Yeah, I don't need to say that as a Czech I don't have any trouble understanding Slovak. I love this channel because just by watching these videos, my understanding of Polish has improved so much that I rarely need the transcript anymore.
Zdravím zo Slovenska, je naozaj super ako veľmi sa naše slovanské jazyky podobajú. Máme azda najväčšiu výhodu na celej zemi že sa vieme aspoň z polovice dorozumieť v krajinách, ak sú Poľsko, Rusko, Slovinsko, Chorvátsko a pod.
I read the comments and came to an amazing conclusion. The Slovak language, apparently, is the median Slavic language. Speakers of different groups of Slavic languages call the Slovak language the most understood language most often.
Yes that's true. Probably because Slovak has the least amount of loanwords from non-Slavic languages because Slovaks were pretty isolated for 1000 years in the carpathian mountains. Polish for example has a ton of loanwords mainly from Latin and german languages while Slovak uses original words from Proto-Slavic.
Slovak is actually incredibly close to Croatian. It almost sounds like the same language spoken in two different dialects. Slovak and Croatian are probably two most closely related languages of all Slavic languages (well, except Croatian and Serbian, which is basically same dialect of the same language).
I surprisingly understood most of what Paulina said without looking at the transcript (I’m a native Bulgarian speaker)! Thanks for another excellent video, I’ve learnt so much about Slavic languages from your content!
I'm so proud! I've been studying Slovak and living in Slovakia for one year until three years ago, and never spoke or listened again. And I still understood 4 question out of 5
I am Slovak from Bratislava, but my grandparents were Czechs living in Ostrava - close to Czech - Polish borders. I think that polish language was very good understandable for people from that region, they watched polish TV and spoke a dialect using a lot of polish words. As a child, I spent a lot of time at my grandaparents and thats why polish language is quite good understandable to me as well. I think, that crucial is to learn words which are completely different and words which are the same, but have different meaning.
As a French speaker with a polish parent, I like this comment 😁 - I think they mean that polish is sort of like the most romantic (ie French) language of the Slavic group (like French is known as generally)... or maybe I’m just (wishful thinking) reading into
As a Slovakian I can proudly say that I understood almost everything from what the polish people were saying, even though I never had experience with polish language before
Native German speaker here. I'm glad that I can still understand enough Polish to follow the conversation. I'm glad that Paulina some very slowly, so that I could understand her quite well, too. In the end, I guessed all 5 concepts she described, although I didn't know the Polish (or Slovak) words for all of them.
Im Slovenian, and i understand Slovak much better than Polish,but lately i go to Poland often and now i can undertand Polish better. Still, Slovak or Czech is easier for me..
That's because Polish, while forming along with Czech and Slovak the West Slavic dialect continuum, belongs at the same time to the Lechitic subgroup. Lep pozdrav s Poljske :)

you better not travel to Slovakia in the near future. The borders are closed and we are making big protests against the government. Sometimes you can see soldiers in cities. Until the government falls, it is better to avoid Slovakia.
I am a native English speaker just starting Polish lessons and was surprised that I understood more of the Slovak than the Polish! There was something about the Slovak consonants and the spacing between words that made it sound more "American" and helped me to pick out words easier.
I'm french and I speak polish and for me it's much easier to understand slovak language than ukrainian. Slovak language is to slavic languages like italian to roman languages, easily understandable for the others.

I'm from Australia and learnt to speak Croatian as a child from my grandparents. When travelling in Europe, I found Slovak to be somewhat easier to understand than Czech, Polish, Ukrainian and Bulgarian. I never visited Russian speaking parts. Would I be correct in assuming that Slovak would be somewhat a middle ground linguistically amongst Slavic languages? I assume that neighbouring countries would have an easier time understanding Slovak than other neighbouring languages.
Croatian and Bulgarian are South Slavic languages. Czech, Polish and Slovak are West Slavic. Ukrainian is East Slavic. I heard somewhere a claim that Slovaks understand South Slavic languages better than other West Slavic nations. For me, as a Ukrainian, Slovak is intelligible much better than Croatian.

Thats debatable. A lot of the old slavic we assune exists, as it was, is because old church slavonic was used in southern and eastern regions which madeit aound more like theirs overthe years. While the spelling remains the same acxents do change. Polish evolved very slowly, in the 1200 we have a document of prayer that is almost identicle to polish today. I can understand old polish nearly perfectly even though it has origins and remained largely uniform from 900 to 1600 and at times later. Which begs the question. How close was old polish to old slavic. Considering very few influences from around the world, id wager very close. There are also changes in glagolictic relatinf to regional changes in acxents. For example glagolictic survived the longest in the czech refion to 1450 as a commonly used writing style. Possibly longer in the balkans but the documents are lost to time.

Yes I agree, I’m definitely seeking for more information on Slovak and Polish after watching this video. Basic grammar and so on. I can’t go on living without understanding them anymore.
Pronunciation in Slovak is almost the simplest thing in the world, you just have to know 2 things, first is Slovak alphabet and how letters are pronounced and second is, after you learn alphabet the rule is write as you hear/ read as it's written, so basically every single letter has its own voice that doesn't change and you just combine those sounds of each letter to make word and words combine to sentences etc. But that's all that is easy about Slovak language.

I read the comments and came to an amazing conclusion. The Slovak language, apparently, is the median Slavic language. Speakers of different groups of Slavic languages call the Slovak language the most understood language most often.
@derkov Look at the map of Europe, and you have a clear explanation.
Yes that's true. Probably because Slovak has the least amount of loanwords from non-Slavic languages because Slovaks were pretty isolated for 1000 years in the carpathian mountains. Polish for example has a ton of loanwords mainly from Latin and german languages while Slovak uses original words from Proto-Slavic.
Slovak is actually incredibly close to Croatian. It almost sounds like the same language spoken in two different dialects. Slovak and Croatian are probably two most closely related languages of all Slavic languages (well, except Croatian and Serbian, which is basically same dialect of the same language).
Yes, I had this feedbacks. See map, Slovakia is in middle between east, west and south Slavic nations.
Paulina powinna zostać współprowadzącą odcinki. Zdecydowanie rewelacja!

I'm so proud! I've been studying Slovak and living in Slovakia for one year until three years ago, and never spoke or listened again. And I still understood 4 question out of 5
I am Slovak from Bratislava, but my grandparents were Czechs living in Ostrava - close to Czech - Polish borders. I think that polish language was very good understandable for people from that region, they watched polish TV and spoke a dialect using a lot of polish words. As a child, I spent a lot of time at my grandaparents and thats why polish language is quite good understandable to me as well. I think, that crucial is to learn words which are completely different and words which are the same, but have different meaning.

@pavel и ещё я являюсь татарином-тюрком и ещё кипчаком являясь могу понять казахов мне учить казахский не нужно потому я и есть тюрок. Вот в случае языков огузских да, вот тогда нужно знать турецкий скажем чтобы понять азербайджанца

Hearing Slovak and Polish together like this is so amazing. 🤩 I need to go live in these counties soon...!
where are you from?
@@881terror Luke is american teaching Latin here on ytb. As a learner of Italian, mi piace il suo canale.
you better not travel to Slovakia in the near future. The borders are closed and we are making big protests against the government. Sometimes you can see soldiers in cities. Until the government falls, it is better to avoid Slovakia.
I am a native English speaker just starting Polish lessons and was surprised that I understood more of the Slovak than the Polish! There was something about the Slovak consonants and the spacing between words that made it sound more "American" and helped me to pick out words easier.
Oh yes, here is Slovak 😄 as you said, it really seemslike the Esperanto of Slavic languages 😄 everything was super clear!
Yes, I had this feedbacks. See map, Slovakia is in middle between east, west and south Slavic nations.
I'm french and I speak polish and for me it's much easier to understand slovak language than ukrainian. Slovak language is to slavic languages like italian to roman languages, easily understandable for the others.
Well, Polish and Slovak are both Western Slavic languages so no wonder you can understand Slovak more than Ukrainian if you speak Polish.

Hi I'm a hungarian, and I absolutely love the channel, and how it reveals common words in hungarian with the slavaian languages, and just wanted to mention that the word Pieklo is Pokol in hungarian. And I really like the way Norbert compares words to hungarian in a lot of his videos. Another one Sukna in slovakian would be szoknya in hungarian :) Lots of common words with rusyn. Legend
I am madly in love with slovakian "hej"! :)
Ukrainians also say it but usually as part of songs, like hej, hej, Sokoly
@Qimodis well a bunch of songs have hej hej
as someone who speaks serbian, slovak was much easier to understand than polish. Üdv Norbert :)
Hello ! Ok , so it's not just me ! (I'm not a native speaker but a learner)
I'm a russian, who started to learn serbian and more or less understand ukrainian. And to me slovakian was like mix of someting serbo-croatian and very polonised west ukrainian.
Slovak noha" is not very different from Polish/Serbian "noga",
but Slovak "otázka" means in Polish: "pytanie", which is much more similar to Serbian "pitanje"
(If for Serbian speakers Slovak was much easier to understand than Polish, but not always :)
@@Robertoslaw.Iksinski in Slovak language we have pytať sa = pitanje
@@881terror Slovak: Pytam sa = Polish: Pytam się = Serbian: Pitam se,
but Slovak: Mám otázku = Polish: Mam pytanie = Serbian: Imam pitanje (because in this form word "pytanie" is not used in Slovak. Moreover word "otázka" is not used in Polish and Serbian, even as synonym for word: "pytanie/pitanje" :)
Na koniec počuvame rozhovor so slovenkou. Vidím že našli ste Paulínu ktorá dava mi pomoc za moje študovanie o slovenskom jayzkom. Som vesela že, rozumiem takmer všetku slovenčinu ale ešte hovorím ju zlé. Tak, je to vyborná učiteľka lebo hovorí pomalo a jasne. Ďakujem!
To było superłatwe. Pani Słowaczka jest bardzo sympatyczna.
I'm learning Russian and I'm at the very beginning of the process, but Slovak is quite understandable to me, even though I barely have learnt Russian yet. I vote for Slovak to be the inter-slavic language.
yeah slovak is called as esperanto among all slavic languages :)
@@Ильджимэ ahoj dmitrij. ano máš pravdu. tri najpoužívanejšie jazyky sú tieto tri. ale nás slovanov je dosť na to aby sme sa nepotrebovali učiť iné jazyky. máme veľký slovanský trh a s ruskými zdrojmi nepotrebujeme nič viac. chceme len žiť. v mieri, láske, a pravde. nechceme bratrovražedné vojny. zabudnime na prehnaný nacionalizmus. stačí len ten zdravý. aby sme boli hrdí na to kto sme, kde sme sa narodili a nikdy na to nezabúdali. ľúbme sa navzájom :)

Црногорци немају много контаката са словенским (словеначким), али је ипак ближи од чешког. Мени је чешки добро разумљив можда зато што сам и учила словенски.

As a Serbian, that has never learnt Polish or Slovak, I can freely say that i have uderstood about 70% of Slovak and about 40% of Polish. Cheers from the Balkans! 🇷🇸❤️🇵🇱🇸🇰
Почти на 100% все понял. Родной русский и знаю польский на ~b2. Как правильно заметил Патрик, знание этих двух языков помогает в понимании словацкого. Недавно смотрел на словацком фильм из своего детства "Spadla s oblakov", понятно где-то процентов на 70, и получил смешанное ностальгически-лингвистическое удовольствие. Всем привет, кто меня понял ✋

I'm from Australia and learnt to speak Croatian as a child from my grandparents. When travelling in Europe, I found Slovak to be somewhat easier to understand than Czech, Polish, Ukrainian and Bulgarian. I never visited Russian speaking parts. Would I be correct in assuming that Slovak would be somewhat a middle ground linguistically amongst Slavic languages? I assume that neighbouring countries would have an easier time understanding Slovak than other neighbouring languages.
Croatian and Bulgarian are South Slavic languages. Czech, Polish and Slovak are West Slavic. Ukrainian is East Slavic. I heard somewhere a claim that Slovaks understand South Slavic languages better than other West Slavic nations. For me, as a Ukrainian, Slovak is intelligible much better than Croatian.

I’m a native English speaker learning Polish (now at an intermediate level) and I am really surprised at how much I understood in Slovak! I think I guessed all the words correctly except for the last one.
Two possible reasons: 1. Slovak and Polish are very close and moreover 2. Slovak is considered Lingua Franca of Slavic languages.

Slovak sounds much more appealing to the ear and is more understandable because closer to Old Slavic.
Thats debatable. A lot of the old slavic we assune exists, as it was, is because old church slavonic was used in southern and eastern regions which madeit aound more like theirs overthe years. While the spelling remains the same acxents do change. Polish evolved very slowly, in the 1200 we have a document of prayer that is almost identicle to polish today. I can understand old polish nearly perfectly even though it has origins and remained largely uniform from 900 to 1600 and at times later. Which begs the question. How close was old polish to old slavic. Considering very few influences from around the world, id wager very close. There are also changes in glagolictic relatinf to regional changes in acxents. For example glagolictic survived the longest in the czech refion to 1450 as a commonly used writing style. Possibly longer in the balkans but the documents are lost to time.
