@Μαρίνα Σ she is from Vajdaság (Vojvodina) northern region of Serbia which is ethnically Hungarian for hundreds of years. All countries bordering Hungary have minority Hungarian populations living near border . That’s because after WW1 Hungary pretty much got screwed over when they drew the new borders since they lost 2/3 of their territory
It's nothing wrong with being latino. Latino derivates from the Latin word latinus which designates the founder people of the roman republic and the roman empire. Stop being so ignorant and desinformed. Try to be informed and not opinionated. You probably associate "latino" With Latin America like many people thanks to Hollywood. The reason it is called Latin America is because it was colonized by Latin European countries(Portugal, Spain and France) which held one of the greatest empires in history just like their predecessors the Romans. Countries with mother tounges derived from Latin, the language of the Romans and of the Vatican. Prominent and prestigious western european countries. If someone called me a latin or a latino i would be proud.

It's also about your mainstream music and music videos i guess. They are like kind of sexual (just like most popular music videos in the latin community)
They meant, that polish sounds flat, so if you speak polish, any other language sounds pretty and melodic. I kind of agree, polish doesn't have much intonation, melody etc, tho I like the sound of russian.

Pierogi with potatoes and onions is the best dish in the whole world, no question. It’s so simple but so incredibly yummy and satisfying. My mum’s best friend is polish and made them for me because she knew I liked them so much (and it makes such a difference if a polish person makes them or you get them somewhere else). I felt like I was in heaven ☺️😍
yeah in russia we cook them a lot too(especially grandmathers) I think Peirogi is interslavic dish or atleast all eastern slavic(+Poland) have plenty of them and consider as national food
It's really just a slavic dish, that possibly came from China through the Mongols. In Ukraine and Russia it's called 'vareniki', and is considered a national dish in Ukraine. In my experience the polish ones tend to have thicker dough, and in Ukraine there are more varieties such as strawberry etc. ones, otherwise there isn't a difference. There are several other dumplings in Russia and Ukraine such as pirozhki, pelmeni, which are basically simpler versions of Chinese dumplings, served with sour cream rather than vinegar.

Technically Germany, Switzerland and Austria are definitely Central Europe too. I think it's a little sad to adopt the age old stereotype of "East vs West" and have the devide between Germany and Poland. Geographically it's very incorrect. Vienna is more east than Prague.
@@gerikiss1306 and vice versa i'm from Poland I have some basic knowledge of french, german, russian and latin, but if it comes to hungarian unfortunately I don't hear nothing even closely similar, it's totally different experience
What 'technically'?? It's geographically nonsensical to even have such a division. Do you even know how geography works? (BTW *geographically* there is no Europe, only Eurasia. The division by the caucasus is an outdated and non-scientific division). The 'west/east/central' division has always been cultural, not geographical. Germany, Switzerland, Austria do not share cultural similarities with these other countries. The Czech republic might be an exception , but that's it.
@@CNFrostXY I Guess being 500 years in one empire (Wich was in frequent contact with Germany And Poland) doesn't make Austria, Czech, Slovakia And Hungary even slightly culturaly related, right? 😅 Being neigbours and having populations mixed Also never influence the culture I Guess :)
According to Wikipedia Belarusians and Lithuanians drink 15 litres of pure alcohol a year per capita. The second place belongs to Czechia and South Korea with 14 litres. Czechs drink a lot of alcoholic beverages, but majority of them is low volume beer which results in lower total alcohol consumption. Poland is way down below France at 11 litres. Czechia is frequently quoted as the champ mostly because they made it into their national pride. Belarus on the other hand is always greyed out because their tyrant president is scarred of polls
I am a simple Pole and if I had to give my 5 cents, I would just say that when it comes to food, Hungary n.1, getting drunk, Russia n. 1 and my country Poland n. 2, but Czechia for drinking consistently though fewer of them get to the point of getting wasted, women hard to say, probably Russia for sexuality and Hungary for facial and overall body beauty
I dont meet a lot of foreigners... so I value every encounter. I will make a video of my Top 10 favorite Europeans, and definitely Poland will be on that list. I also like Austrians. I met a few Russians and Estonians. Oh I remember 2 guys from Prague, they are the most handsome of all Europeans I have ever met.
I don't understand why some people are so upset because of our Central European identity. You may call us what you want in your culture and language but it doesn't change the fact that we have the right to identify as whatever the hell we want. It is OUR point of view and OUR identity, not yours. And some of us choose to identify as Central European. So what? Deal with it. Your vision of Europe is not the only one out there and frankly we don't care what feels correct for you. Also, it takes a little bit of knowledge about the history and culture of our region to understand all those fine differences that lay at the base of our ethnic identities. Central and Eastern Europe is not a monolith like so many Westerners view it to be (mostly due to their ignorance about the subject). I personally identify as Polish, Western Slavic, Central European. You may call me Eastern European if you want although, due to our recent history, it would be a social blunder in my opinion. So please calm down, open your mind a bit to a different point of view and have some respect for us in the comment section.
Westoids feel the need to disregard thousands of years of history in favour of the cold war era division (which was only a brief 45 years, plus it has also become outdated by now) to satisfy their superiority complex.
I must be one of those non-Slavic person (I am Azerbaijani), who speaks the Russian language fluently and also speaks the Ukrainian moderately :), who also enjoys this video)
@@streettravelxxi that's USSR influence. During soviet period central Asian and Caucasian Soviet republics tend to "russificate" their last names. Although nowdays they return back to traditional forms, the russificated ones are still very widespreaded.
Based on my experience (mostly from travels), I concluded that Italians are the most similar and closely related Western European nation to Poles - we respect our traditions, most of us are still religious, we are very welcoming, we really care for our loved ones (even if we don't live with them anymore), we meet in the family circle at weekend dinners during which we talk/laugh/cry/sing/argue with our relatives, we are generally have expressive and temperamental attitude, but we're also very understanding, affectionate and empathetic inside.
The saddest thing is that that Slovak girl did not say a single positive thing about our country, Slovakia. She liked everything else but her homeland. I am disappointed, but not surprised. A patriotism is still taken as a crime in Slovakia. When you compare it with Poles and Russians and South Slavic countries where patriotism is alive, you see that all these people in video think nicely about own culture, kitchen, language, etc. Slovaks are taught to think we are of no value, no history, nothing interesting here... which is so far from the truth. I am glad that there are at least some foreigners to show how amazing Slovakia and Slovaks are. I recommend anybody interested in my culture to check out the Chasing Kimberly RUclips channel. :-))) My husband is Polish and I can see how proud he is of his Polish culture, history, language, kitchen and more.

No one mentions the Witcher when they are asked about Poland? Polish is the original language! Probably the universe isn't that Slavic as it is depicted like in Witcher 3 which has a lot Slavic references than in the books
The witcher Geralt has quite a "Slavic" name, "Slavic" notes can be heard in ono- and toponomics. There is leszy and kikimore - but there is also an Andersen mermaid and a Beast taken from Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont. It should be repeated once more: the cycle about the witcher is a classic and canonical fantasy, with Slavicness in it, as Wokulski told Starski, as much as poisons in a match.

5:02- When I was for the first time in Poland, in Krakow, as a romanian used with the latin, romantic language, I heard spoken a fast russian, with snakes words that tells you to shut up: "shht" and I was contraried that czech and slovak people don't understand it. The written language is full of characters the other nations don't use (k, q, z, y, w), which are all pronounced as "ș" (romanian "sh") or "j". But I learned very fast the pronounciation and in the second day in the camp where we were hosted (near Zamek Korzkiew castle - 13 km by Krowodrza Gorka, in Krakow), I was reading erotic / porn poems (without understanding the meaning, just pronounciating correctly) to a 19 years old Polish girl. She was really impressed. ;) After that, when they wanted to tell us about the locations we had to reach or a hard word, the organisers asked me to pronounce their names. They sad that I managed myself perfectly with the porn poetry. :))

@@gerikiss1306 and vice versa i'm from Poland I have some basic knowledge of french, german, russian and latin, but if it comes to hungarian unfortunately I don't hear nothing even closely similar, it's totally different experience
@@nini5484 it doesn't say Slavic. It says Eastern and Central Europe. Germany, Switzerland and Austria ARE Central Europe.
What 'technically'?? It's geographically nonsensical to even have such a division. Do you even know how geography works? (BTW *geographically* there is no Europe, only Eurasia. The division by the caucasus is an outdated and non-scientific division). The 'west/east/central' division has always been cultural, not geographical. Germany, Switzerland, Austria do not share cultural similarities with these other countries. The Czech republic might be an exception , but that's it.
@@CNFrostXY I Guess being 500 years in one empire (Wich was in frequent contact with Germany And Poland) doesn't make Austria, Czech, Slovakia And Hungary even slightly culturaly related, right? 😅 Being neigbours and having populations mixed Also never influence the culture I Guess :)
Greetings from Poland ❤️🇵🇱
🇭🇺❤️🇵🇱
We ( Hungarians) also have a strong home-made drink, called palinka
Please don’t mention, palinka. It almost killed me! 🤣
@@ninoellison7793 noh, lol
I have never met anyone from Hungary. When I meet a white person who doesnt sound Spanish or French, I always ask them if they are Hungarian.
I am from Germany and I drank it once, will never forget it!🤣
Palinka = палёнка! 😂😜
According to Wikipedia Belarusians and Lithuanians drink 15 litres of pure alcohol a year per capita. The second place belongs to Czechia and South Korea with 14 litres.
Czechs drink a lot of alcoholic beverages, but majority of them is low volume beer which results in lower total alcohol consumption.
Poland is way down below France at 11 litres.
Czechia is frequently quoted as the champ mostly because they made it into their national pride. Belarus on the other hand is always greyed out because their tyrant president is scarred of polls
I am a simple Pole and if I had to give my 5 cents, I would just say that when it comes to food, Hungary n.1, getting drunk, Russia n. 1 and my country Poland n. 2, but Czechia for drinking consistently though fewer of them get to the point of getting wasted, women hard to say, probably Russia for sexuality and Hungary for facial and overall body beauty
I hope it’s not the last time we see a Belarusian in your videos!:)
I really enjoyed this video. I want to visit these countries and the two Polish representative were so entertaining.
And the man looks like very Polish. The woman not so typical.
In Romania in the North part we don't say "palinka" or "țuica" we say "horinka" and it's clear is that we took it from the ukrainians
Maybe invers
you have to make a video..."what southern europeans think of eastern and central europeans". It will be very interesting..
As a southern European, we don't know a lot about eastern Europeans, at least myself
For a start they are all eastern europeans. Central european is not a thing for southeners.

I dont meet a lot of foreigners... so I value every encounter. I will make a video of my Top 10 favorite Europeans, and definitely Poland will be on that list. I also like Austrians.

Love this casual interviews. So much fun!

I don't understand why some people are so upset because of our Central European identity. You may call us what you want in your culture and language but it doesn't change the fact that we have the right to identify as whatever the hell we want. It is OUR point of view and OUR identity, not yours. And some of us choose to identify as Central European. So what? Deal with it.
Your vision of Europe is not the only one out there and frankly we don't care what feels correct for you. Also, it takes a little bit of knowledge about the history and culture of our region to understand all those fine differences that lay at the base of our ethnic identities. Central and Eastern Europe is not a monolith like so many Westerners view it to be (mostly due to their ignorance about the subject).
I personally identify as Polish, Western Slavic, Central European. You may call me Eastern European if you want although, due to our recent history, it would be a social blunder in my opinion. So please calm down, open your mind a bit to a different point of view and have some respect for us in the comment section.
Westoids feel the need to disregard thousands of years of history in favour of the cold war era division (which was only a brief 45 years, plus it has also become outdated by now) to satisfy their superiority complex.
I must be one of those non-Slavic person (I am Azerbaijani), who speaks the Russian language fluently and also speaks the Ukrainian moderately :), who also enjoys this video)
Ur last name is Slavic
@@streettravelxxi that's USSR influence. During soviet period central Asian and Caucasian Soviet republics tend to "russificate" their last names. Although nowdays they return back to traditional forms, the russificated ones are still very widespreaded.
@@malta3angwa i didn’t know that thanks
@@streettravelxxi you're welcome!
You may not be Slavic, but I feel like you’re still part of our culture/people as we’re close
As an Italian I didn't expect polish to be so warm with a good sense of humor,they seems familiar to me
Fun fact: Poles and Italians as the only ones mention each others in their national anthems. :)
Based on my experience (mostly from travels), I concluded that Italians are the most similar and closely related Western European nation to Poles - we respect our traditions, most of us are still religious, we are very welcoming, we really care for our loved ones (even if we don't live with them anymore), we meet in the family circle at weekend dinners during which we talk/laugh/cry/sing/argue with our relatives, we are generally have expressive and temperamental attitude, but we're also very understanding, affectionate and empathetic inside.
I'm Polish living in UK and most of my friends here are Italian

For Czechs and Slovaks Polish sounds like kids' speech, and for Polish people Czech and Slovak sound like kids' speech.

I am from Galicia. And for me Slovak is Czech speaking with Ukrainian accent using some polish words.
@@vexillonerd Slovak is slavic esperanto confirmed.

Poland here
Yeah. They're discount Polish.
The saddest thing is that that Slovak girl did not say a single positive thing about our country, Slovakia. She liked everything else but her homeland. I am disappointed, but not surprised. A patriotism is still taken as a crime in Slovakia. When you compare it with Poles and Russians and South Slavic countries where patriotism is alive, you see that all these people in video think nicely about own culture, kitchen, language, etc. Slovaks are taught to think we are of no value, no history, nothing interesting here... which is so far from the truth. I am glad that there are at least some foreigners to show how amazing Slovakia and Slovaks are. I recommend anybody interested in my culture to check out the Chasing Kimberly RUclips channel. :-))) My husband is Polish and I can see how proud he is of his Polish culture, history, language, kitchen and more.
Is this really true?If it is,i'm sad too.We have a Slovak minority in northern Serbia,never heard a bad word about them.Such pleasent,hard-working,wholesome people.

It’s settled…Eastern Europeans are the best looking people😍🔥
Women, not so much the men.
@@Roman888 Man ar very good looking too. But they tend to age faster as their lifestyle Is not So good. But the young man - oh my God!
@@Roman888 both men and women in EE are really good looking. It is simple science, genetics cant work for only one gender. But the Western perception of Russians, Ukrainians, Poles etc. is widely influenced by Hollywood which shows them mostly as some drunks, thugs and low lives. But that speaks mostly about American complexes than the apperance of EE men.
@@PaulV. Aesthetics is not a science. The fact is that different ethnic groups boast certain phenotypic traits which may generally render one gender more empirically attractive than the other. It's reductive to think that physical characteristics will favor or disfavor both genders equally within each ethnic group.

Do you have the term "Southeast Europe" (referring to the Balkan peninsula), similar to the idea of Southeast Asia ? I think Balkan peninsula is a place rich in diverse culture, which deserves its own geographical location name.
We have the term. We Also have northeast/northwest Europe.
Balkan is Southern Europe.
We have a name for them. Poverty.
@@sharavy Well, Monaco; San Marino, Andora are also in Southern Europe and they don't really look poor :)
well... Balkans. Just like that.
No one mentions the Witcher when they are asked about Poland? Polish is the original language! Probably the universe isn't that Slavic as it is depicted like in Witcher 3 which has a lot Slavic references than in the books
maybe they not gamers
The witcher Geralt has quite a "Slavic" name, "Slavic" notes can be heard in ono- and toponomics. There is leszy and kikimore - but there is also an Andersen mermaid and a Beast taken from Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont. It should be repeated once more: the cycle about the witcher is a classic and canonical fantasy, with Slavicness in it, as Wokulski told Starski, as much as poisons in a match.
The witcher is probably more Anglo-Saxon than Slavic

5:02- When I was for the first time in Poland, in Krakow, as a romanian used with the latin, romantic language, I heard spoken a fast russian, with snakes words that tells you to shut up: "shht" and I was contraried that czech and slovak people don't understand it. The written language is full of characters the other nations don't use (k, q, z, y, w), which are all pronounced as "ș" (romanian "sh") or "j". But I learned very fast the pronounciation and in the second day in the camp where we were hosted (near Zamek Korzkiew castle - 13 km by Krowodrza Gorka, in Krakow), I was reading erotic / porn poems (without understanding the meaning, just pronounciating correctly) to a 19 years old Polish girl. She was really impressed. ;) After that, when they wanted to tell us about the locations we had to reach or a hard word, the organisers asked me to pronounce their names. They sad that I managed myself perfectly with the porn poetry. :))
There is no q in Polish words. And we use w, because there is no v :)
The Russian guy has a perfect voice for a night time story. He's very handsome.
Eastern & Central Europeans? Didn’t they make the Slavic episode already?
*Sees a Hungarian and a Romanian

How about doing some stereotypical views videos on Baltic countries, Swiss, Benelux countries, and small nations such as Andorra, San Marino?
Don´t know about the rest. Andorra is just a small city between France and Spain, so mostly all stereotypes you see about French and Spanish people apply on Andorra. Same as Monaco, but with French and Italian people
Where is Lithuania, Latvia or Estiona? These are also eastern European countries!

They're more labeled as northern Europe rather than eastern.

Everyone seems to think that Russian sounds harsh... I could never agree with that. To me (Serbian) it always sounded too soft, actually. Too many letters are not pronounced clearly.
Same here and I am Bulgarian. I think in the west it’s more the fact that when they hear Russian on tv it’s usually mafia/spy/criminal talking and they association is that the language is rough while to me conversational Russian sounds so soothing.
