It's so amazing how much similarities there are. I once had a fully functioning conversation with a Bulgarian guy who didn't know any English, and so I was speaking to him in Serbian and he in Bulgarian and it somehow worked hahaha... plus it gets easier the more drinks you have lol 😂 Actually, maybe that's the secret... more rakija.
I spent a few days in Bulgaria and first day it was a nightmare.. Words and the accent being so similar but not understanding anything strained my brain so much that I felt exhausted in the evening. But by the end of the third day I had full conversions with people with no mayor problems. Languages being similar, It just takes a day or 2 for your brain to adjust and pick up a few things..
Ma čoveče on je našao izuzetno glupa devojka da pogađa .

Evo mene naučio sam Srpski bez ikakvu pomoč bilo od koga , samo sam slušao muziku i gledao filmove , tako da nije ni malo teško da naučiš a kamoli da pogodiš obične reči koje itekako postoje u Bugarskom jezikom samo malo treba da uključiš mozak .

Speaking Bulgarian I can freely read wikipedia in Serbian but once I tried to have a conversation with a cab driver in Belgrade and honestly I had very little idea what he was saying. I think the accent was the biggest problem - makes it impossible to comprehend the words. Then I was in Croatia for a week and at the end of it I was noticing that I am understanding more and also I could change my words to help them understand better. The languages are so close that if you lived in any of these countries for a few months you could probably have a normal communication at least for the basic stuff - directions, shopping, ordering at restaurant etc.
I (Zhen) agree with you. Another plus of listening to another language first hand is that you can also read their lips and of course ask them to repeat certain words which in our experiment wasn't an option 😅
Wow, I wouldn't expect that I could understand any words in Bulgarian or Serbian thank to my Czech and Russian knowledge 😀 it's crazy how all these languages are related
Yeah and if u are interested, explore where do these languages come from truly (who spread) , bg are trying to steal, like they steal everything, the macedonians who made a language for the Slavs, translated books, bibles, they they were spreading from Solun(tesaloniki) to Moravia and beyond, they shread Macedonia in 1912 and they still are trying to destroy the country that gave them literacy, religion and... It's shame, the victors write the history
Great video! "Ovde je baš prijatno "it can be said just like in Bulgarian "Tu je mnogo prijatno" In slavic languages this is an advantage because we can say something in more ways because there are many synonyms.
@@dayanbalevski4446 Така е! Ако кажеш: "Баш ми е драго", се разбира, че ти е особено/много приятно. Но го използваме често и със значение на "точно" : "Баш там няма да ида" = "Точно там няма да отида", "Баш беше решил" = "Тъкмо беше решил".
In some western dialects we can say ''Овде е баш приятно.'' The biggest difference is Bulgarian is the only Slavic language that lacks of JE sounds with Macedonian (despite Macedonian kept it to some degree). Some dialects still kept this but the Standard form almost completely removed the ''JE'' sound except in some words like ''йерархия, фойерверки'' that uses ''Й'' instead of ''Ь'' that has been limited just to O.
That's true. A long time ago, two girls and I watched American movie with subtitles in Serbian on the Yugoslav television. One of the girls was from Burgas - from Eastern Bulgaria, and the other was from Vratza - a town in Western Bulgaria. The girl from Burgas said she didn't understand a bit of the subtitles, and the girl from Vratza said she understood everything. The problem is, that back then they used the Latin sript in Yugoslavia, and we use Cyrillic alphabet in Bulgaria.
At 0:50 she is misled, because "kazemo" probably is put in a case and sounds similar to "kazvam mu (казвам му) or "kazhi mu (кажи му) ". Another instance of this is observed further in the video.
This was so interesting! Some of the words I guessed the same as Jenia, like the goodnight and do you speak English, the rest was a struggle! 😂 Well done! I agree Phil you should try maybe French or Spanish as you may be able to guess some of the words! Great video guys as perrrr 🙌🏾
Oleta!! It's soon time for us to all meet in a park and have Bulgarian conversation between the 4 of us me thinks!! Definitely one for the channel haha
The “you’re welcome” / “there isn’t a beginning” makes sense because in Spanish it’s “de nada” . The loose verbatim translation might be “there isn’t anything I already began on that you owe me a thank you for, my gratifying you was unconditional”
People hating on her for not being versed kinda don’t see the point. I’d rather a normal person who isn’t versed on every language than someone who knows every root word. It’s more realistic this way honestly.
"Compote" is a French word borrowed from French in Bulgarian among many other words like "cauchemar" - кошмар (nightmere), or "trottoir" - тротоар (sidewalk), or "portefeuille" - портофейл (wallet). Romanian being a Romance language derived from the Latin Language Group bears far more commonalities with French rather than "just borrowed" words evident in Bulgarian and many other languages, of course at a different scale.
1:43 you can say that in Serbo-Croatian as well. In fact I'm pretty sure that is used more often then what is said in the video. It's just another way of saying it
Nema na čemu means you're welcome, but the literal translation means something like "theres nothing for it to be on" which in the context of someone saying thank you beforehand, translates to "theres no reason to thank me"
Thanks for this, now that you say it it makes sense! I have to admit though, something that doesn't make ass much sense and is slightly more intriguing... What inspired you to choose that name? :-D
In russian we actually say in a similar way. Спасибо! (Thank you!) - Не за что (меня благодарить)! (the phrase literally means 'There is nothing you have to thank me for, it's easy for me'). More proper one which corresponds with 'You are welcome!' is 'пожалуйста!'
@@thegroovygenes2772 haha, I came up with this a long time ago when I was trying to come up with an outrageous name, and was somewhat inspired by the name of the death metal band Dying Fetus
in Serbian it can be both way do you speak...? da li govorite...? or govorite li...? Maybe Serbian is just more flexible language, not so many strict rules with word order in a sentence, it has many synonymous, loan words and Slavic words to say something, different ways to say something. so it might be easier for us to understand Bulgarian than vice versa? for example here in Serbian can be "ovde" as in video or "tu" while in BG is "tuka" and kompot is same but with different accent kom-pooot vs kom-POT unless you are from the eastern Serbia then you will say as she did :) I am sure she would understand more if she heard eastern Serbian accent
''Ovde'' exists in Bulgarian too but as a dialect word used mostly in Western Bulgaria and not in the Standard language. In Standard form we only use ''tuk'' or ''tuka'' (like Macedonian only has ''tuka''). We have ''tu'' in Bulgarian but it has different purpose like ''ту черен, ту бял''
Try Interslavic! Also, I'm not familiar with the gentleman's speaker profile, but English is a (rather distorted) Germanic language, so it'd probably be more relevant to have him try Dutch, German. Frisian would be great, but there might not be too much content out there.
With respect to the end of the video I don't believe English is a latin language but a Germanic one. So that experiment of tryinf to understand French or Italian if you haven't had any exposure to these languages will probably bomb. I as a Bulgarian thought that Serbian was very close to Bulgarian but after warching this video I think Russian might be closer. Maybe do a video with Bulgarian and Russian if you haven't done one already
@@eugenymalo8704 Познах! Обикновено българите от Източна България по-трудно разбират западните диалекти. Руският е също много близък, макар и да звучи много архаично!
English is a language from the Germanic language family, so I believe German, Dutch, Swedish, etc. would be much more understandable for him than the Romance languages like Spanish, Italian, French and so on.
That's so weird, because I sent my Bulgarian friend some Serbian and Bosnian songs, and she said she could barely understand them, even with the lyrics.
From where she is from? If she is from Eastern part of the country, she would struggle more but if she is more from Western part of the country she would understand them better.
You could say for the every language family. Well, English diverged so much because of the Romanization period of the Frenches but still there are words that are almost the same as other Germanic languages like how ''water'' is the same in Dutch too but pronounced slightly differently.
Yeah, I once talked to a Bulgarian taxi driver... after 5 mins we switched to English. There were simply way too many things thst weren't understood even though we could get the jist of what the other person was saying. Biggest problem is not grammar, but vocabulary. It has simply diverged too much.
Interesting experience SerbAtheirst :) I guess it is like a bit of a challenge in this situation. It would always be tempting to try to speak to someone in your own language (if they are similar in any way) to see how far you can get to in the conversation but also have the option of reverting back to English.
You can say "Da li govorite Engleski" or "Govorite li Engleski", same meaning. I'd say we could understand each other if we spoke slow. I used to do that with one Bulgarian girl just for funs (me using Serbian and she used Bulgarian and only if there was no way we would switch to English, no need for the most part). But, my grandmother was from eastern Serbia where they used some Bulgarian words or from Bulgarian origin that are not used as official Serbian.
I would understand both of these Stormrage! I guess you are right, if we speak slowly so I can also make sure I am hearing the words separately and not just like one sentence is one long word, then we will probably have a descent conversation! I wish I had a friend like this when I was back home and to be honest for the last 10 years that I`ve lived in the UK, I don`t remember meeting 1 Serbian person - even at uni where the mixture is usually from all over the place. It`s interesting you say this about your grandmother. Mine uses some Turkish words even though as far as we know we have no Turkish relatives but I guess in our region of Bulgaria there were enough Turskish people in the past to make some of their words stick (like with you unofficially of course).
@@thegroovygenes2772 I guess we all picked up some Turkish words. It is a normal thing when you live for 500 years under them. There are lots of them in Serbian, but so are Greek or French and more recent English. We use "dvoriste" more often then "avlija", second one is Turkish word. I wonder if you can understand either. I live in Belgrade and we speak standard Serbian here but my grandmother never lost her dialect so I learned some interesting phrases from that region from her. But dialect thing is dying off now. Younger people over there use more standardized words and only thing remaining is an accent.
Yes, true they influence is present and actually in certain parts of Bulgaria they are still present too. I think there are some villages where the population is predominantly Turskish people. I assume it's the same in Serbia?! I don't understand the Turkush word but the Serbian one sounds like our word for garden/land in our house premises which is 'dvor' (двор). Is it the same? Same in Bulgaria, dialects are dying off too and many young people make their way to the capital more and more so yes the language is being standardised there, too.
@@thegroovygenes2772 In Serbia not Turkish, just Muslim (Bosniak). But they are not using Turkish language but their culture is more influenced by Turks. And still it is minority living in south west around town of Novi Pazar. Yes, it is house yard. But dvor have slightly different meaning in Serbian, it means more like royal palace when you say it but roots must be same, house. For house we say kuca or dom (second must be from Latin, Domus).
I am Serbian and I can have a fully blown conversation with Bulgarians without major problems. Maybe because I grew up in Yugoslavia alongside Macedonians (similar to Bulgarian). This lady is not exactly trying hard to understand it or is not very knowledgeable. At the same time some of the examples were hard to understand since taken out of their logical context.
@@HeroManNick132 is it? Sure grammar is more similar to Bulgarian then to Serbian, and words are influenced by Serbian a lot, but don’t forget that it used to be Serbia before Turka arrived, it is not like Bulgarians say recently influenced. Torlak dialects in western Bukgaria, south eastern Serbia and parts of Macedonia are mix of Serbian and Bulgarian
@@macakucizmama831 Вардарска Македония беше част от Сърбия, след Първото българско царство, когато цяла Сърбия бе част от това царство. Сръбският е просто архаична версия на българския език с падежи и нарочно сте изменили някои от значенията на думите като например ''разлог'' (reason) и ''разлог'' (hollow) на български. Разбира се вие нямате също (исто) така ''в/във/во,'' а само ''у,'' което го използваме само за място или нещо, скрито навътре. Сега като го прочетох твоето име по-внимателно, разбрах (разумях), че при нас би се превело като ''Котаракът в чизми'' и граматиката е леко разменена. ''Мачак,'' която е диалектна дума у нас, е в именителен падеж, докато на български ''чизми'' e в именителен падеж, а ''чизмама'' е в творителен падеж, който е архаичен вече за нас, макар че няколко думи са останали от него: пътьом настоящем денем нощем утром пешком бегом пълзешком лазешком даром ходом родом и т.н. Можем и да кажем ''Мачакът в чизми,'' макар че нестандартно ще звучи, а пък ''Мачакът у чизми'' - още по-нестандартно. Характерно още за вашият диалект, е смяната на ''е/ъ'' в ''а'' чуден - чудан тъмен - таман (таман на български е синоним на ''тъкмо'') Милен - Милан и т.н. Или замяната на ''я, ъ, е'' в ''е, jе'' нямам - немам (макар, че в западните диалекти го имаме ''немам'' също.) него - него/њeго добър - добар и т.н.
@@HeroManNick132 both languages are Slavic, hence similarities, but no, Serbian is not Bulgarian, Bulgarian is language developed from a 7 Slavic tribes living in a present Bulgaria and Macedonia, also Bukgarian was influenced by Greek and Russian later, these Slavic tribes in Bukgaria were Antes, totally different tribe of Serb tribe that were Sclaveni, Serbian was developed from porto Slavic, and Serbs are not native in most of modern Serbia, early Serbs lived around Adriatic sea, modern Serbia was colonized during Serbian kingdom in middle agaes, how can you even claim such nonesense? Serbs came to the Balkans from modern Germany, Poland and Czech Republic, while Slavs came to Bulgaria from the east .
@@HeroManNick132 also Serbian in southwestern Slavic language, whike Bulgarian is southeastern, give me a break how Serbian is Bukgarian, Serbs spoke with old Slavic when they came to Balkan later they developed Serbian , Serbian also use a lot of French, German and Italian words
Example Ovde je Bas prijatno. How does she only understand prijatno when even in Bulgaria you can say ne e bas taka. Which means it’s not exactly like that. Then how does she not understand bas? And how cant she not make the connection?! I am honestly so confused and stunned. This this girl grow up na selo? (In a village?)
You did Serbian but just for fun you should do Croatian, official languages are close but there are some differences,for example in Serbia it is Futbol and in Croatian it is Nogomet, in Serbian Carrrot is Šargarepa and in Croatian it is Mrkva, in Serbian a train is Voz and in Croatian it is Vlak .... and so on
In Bulgarian we have ''voz'' as train but it's old-fashioned and we used ''vlak'' like Croatian. The Croatian ''mrkva'' is closer to the Bulgarian ''morkov'' I'm pretty sure ''Šargarepa'' is a Hungarian loan so that's why it's the difference. But I didn't know that ''kotlon, burkan'' are also from Hungarian origin that made into Bulgarian.
@@HeroManNick132 Interesting, on croatian Islands people often say "Mrkav" instead of "Mrkva" 🥕 also Interesting thing that alot of last names end with "Ov" like Petrov,Tomasov,Vlahov... Like in Bulgaria for example, even if most common ending in Croatia is "Ić" like Modrić for example.
@@stipe3124 In Bulgaria we have many variants but most commonly is ''OV/EV'' for man and ''OVA/EVA'' for women.

The rarest ones are on ''IN/INA'' or ''SKIJ/SKAJA'' We even have some from Armenian origin like that ends on ''JAN'' But most common are on OV/EV and EV/EVA. Macedonians have a bonus on ''IḰ'' which are based of the Serbo-Croatian ''IĆ''
@@HeroManNick132 We have also many variants but there is no "Eva" for girls so it is Eva Petrov even if it is girl, it's not Petrova. We have alot German and Italian last names like Rossini, Rosi,Rošini or Schindelfeld.
@@stipe3124 And also forgot to mention that some people are like half Serbians or have a Serbian origin we write ''IĆ'' will the the same as the Slovenians ''IČ'' Macedonians replace it with ''IḰ'' because ''Ḱ'' is based of ''Ć'' while in Bulgarian there is no difference between ''Č'' and ''Ć'' we write the hard one because similar like Russian with ''Ž, Š, C'' never get soften we never soft ''Ž, Š, Č'' Usually ''Ć/Ḱ'' in Bulgarian are replaced with regular ''Č, K'' but most commonly ''ŠT'' Best example is the word ''house'' or ''I will'' BG - MK - RS kăšta - kuḱa - kuća šte/ke - ḱe - će Vučič - Vučiḱ - Vučić And so on.
@@HeroManNick132 I'm really surprised! Generally I think Russian is easier to get for a Bulgarian than your neighbors like Romania, Turkey, Hungary and Greece.
@@Mediaflashmob Russian often use obsoletely archaic forms/words which were used by writers like Ivan Vazov for example ''чистий бляск'' which no one says in modern times since the modern one is ''чист блясък'' (clean shine).

And most of your words are written the same as the Modern Macedonian language which is another archaic forms like во/со changing to въ/съ.

Seriously, just stop with the Turkic BS that teach you at school, then you'll ask why we can't get along! It's because of that! Bulgars have Persian roots, it's because Asian languages get mixed up. Like some people say that Tajik is a Turkic language, when it's actually Indo-European, Iranic! The irony is that Serbian uses more Ottoman Turkic words than Bulgarian which are from Arabic and Persian. Like for example we say ''час'' but you use ''сат'' which is not a Slavic word. We also have ''сахат/саат'' but these words are barely used nowadays for ''hour'' while you use it as common literature word. Also for spoon you use ''кашик'' which is another Ottoman Turkish word, while we use ''лъжица'' which is a Slavic word like how the Croats use ''жлица'' We have that word ''кашика'' but it's archaic. This is what I mean that your language is basically archaic version of Bulgarian.
@@HeroManNick132 well it wasn’t like that always, Russia was also working against Serbia by making big Bulgaria, after 2nd Balkan war Russia and Serbia become very close, which cost Serbs to lose half of modern Albania due to influence of a western powers.

To be honest most of her issue was that she's not used to the pronunciation. I mean she couldn't understand "po laku I sigurno" which in Bulgarian would be "po leko I sigurno", barely got "laku noch" / "leka nosht".

С "полако" разбрах какво имат предвид, но не съм сигурна дали по пътя на логиката или съвпадение, заради близко звучене. Реших, че "полако" е като "плахо" = неуверено, боязливо, със страх. Когато изпитваш несигурност, вървиш бавно. Та оттам реших, че е нещо като "вървя с плахи/малки стъпки" = вървя бавно.

@@janakolasinac1686 I understand that you are a Serbian chauvinist. 1. Turks and Mongols are different racially and linguistically. 2. The proto-Bulgarian language, probably from the Turkic group, disappeared more than 1000 years ago. 3. All Slavic languages derive from the common proto-Slavic language. 4. South Slavic languages are divided into two groups: Western (Serbo-Croatian) and Eastern (Bulgarian-Macedonian). The difference is mainly in the lack of grammatical case and the determinant in the eastern group. I see no reason to declare a language from the eastern group a dialect of a language from the western group. Croats, Montenegrins and Bosniaks (even in Serbia itself) from the Western group (almost identical to Serbian) do not consider their languages to be Serbian dialects.
When did these old Serbs convert to Bulgarians? Do you have evidence of ever expressing the Serbian ethnic sanity of the population on the territory of today's Bulgaria?

Speaking Bulgarian I can freely read wikipedia in Serbian but once I tried to have a conversation with a cab driver in Belgrade and honestly I had very little idea what he was saying. I think the accent was the biggest problem - makes it impossible to comprehend the words.
Then I was in Croatia for a week and at the end of it I was noticing that I am understanding more and also I could change my words to help them understand better. The languages are so close that if you lived in any of these countries for a few months you could probably have a normal communication at least for the basic stuff - directions, shopping, ordering at restaurant etc.
I (Zhen) agree with you. Another plus of listening to another language first hand is that you can also read their lips and of course ask them to repeat certain words which in our experiment wasn't an option 😅
Wow, I wouldn't expect that I could understand any words in Bulgarian or Serbian thank to my Czech and Russian knowledge 😀 it's crazy how all these languages are related
Never knew you spoke Russian!? So you going to come in the channel and do a Czech???
Yeah and if u are interested, explore where do these languages come from truly (who spread) , bg are trying to steal, like they steal everything, the macedonians who made a language for the Slavs, translated books, bibles, they they were spreading from Solun(tesaloniki) to Moravia and beyond, they shread Macedonia in 1912 and they still are trying to destroy the country that gave them literacy, religion and... It's shame, the victors write the history

There is nothing wow about it, Slavic languages divided last in Europe, in 10th century all spoke old Slavic, so languages are quite close
Great video! "Ovde je baš prijatno "it can be said just like in Bulgarian "Tu je mnogo prijatno"
In slavic languages this is an advantage because we can say something in more ways because there are many synonyms.
WE also say BASH in Bulgarian, idk why she couldn't get that. We can say "Tuka e bash prijatno" makes perfect sense in Bulgarian.
@@dayanbalevski4446 Така е! Ако кажеш: "Баш ми е драго", се разбира, че ти е особено/много приятно. Но го използваме често и със значение на "точно" : "Баш там няма да ида" = "Точно там няма да отида", "Баш беше решил" = "Тъкмо беше решил".
In some western dialects we can say ''Овде е баш приятно.''
The biggest difference is Bulgarian is the only Slavic language that lacks of JE sounds with Macedonian (despite Macedonian kept it to some degree). Some dialects still kept this but the Standard form almost completely removed the ''JE'' sound except in some words like ''йерархия, фойерверки'' that uses ''Й'' instead of ''Ь'' that has been limited just to O.
Bulgarian from western Bulgaria is more understandable to Serbians than Bulgarian from eastern Bulgaria.
That's true. A long time ago, two girls and I watched American movie with subtitles in Serbian on the Yugoslav television. One of the girls was from Burgas - from Eastern Bulgaria, and the other was from Vratza - a town in Western Bulgaria. The girl from Burgas said she didn't understand a bit of the subtitles, and the girl from Vratza said she understood everything. The problem is, that back then they used the Latin sript in Yugoslavia, and we use Cyrillic alphabet in Bulgaria.
Very nice video! I come from Bulgaria and this video is so interesting about the Balkan countries. Love the content!
At 0:50 she is misled, because "kazemo" probably is put in a case and sounds similar to "kazvam mu (казвам му) or "kazhi mu (кажи му) ". Another instance of this is observed further in the video.
This was so interesting! Some of the words I guessed the same as Jenia, like the goodnight and do you speak English, the rest was a struggle! 😂 Well done! I agree Phil you should try maybe French or Spanish as you may be able to guess some of the words! Great video guys as perrrr 🙌🏾
Oleta!! It's soon time for us to all meet in a park and have Bulgarian conversation between the 4 of us me thinks!! Definitely one for the channel haha
@@thegroovygenes2772 Hey Jenia & Phil! Yes that sounds great would be so cool to see you guys!!
The “you’re welcome” / “there isn’t a beginning” makes sense because in Spanish it’s “de nada” .
The loose verbatim translation might be “there isn’t anything I already began on that you owe me a thank you for, my gratifying you was unconditional”
People hating on her for not being versed kinda don’t see the point. I’d rather a normal person who isn’t versed on every language than someone who knows every root word. It’s more realistic this way honestly.
Listening phrases is not like you have a conversation. Ive been many times in Serbia, so 80-90% we can understand each other.
В Белград ли?
@@HeroManNick132 Не, пътували сме през цяла Сърбия, почти навсякъде сме се разбирали, ако някой не говори английски.
"Compote" is a French word borrowed from French in Bulgarian among many other words like "cauchemar" - кошмар (nightmere), or "trottoir" - тротоар (sidewalk), or "portefeuille" - портофейл (wallet). Romanian being a Romance language derived from the Latin Language Group bears far more commonalities with French rather than "just borrowed" words evident in Bulgarian and many other languages, of course at a different scale.
1:43 you can say that in Serbo-Croatian as well. In fact I'm pretty sure that is used more often then what is said in the video. It's just another way of saying it
Nema na čemu means you're welcome, but the literal translation means something like "theres nothing for it to be on" which in the context of someone saying thank you beforehand, translates to "theres no reason to thank me"
Thanks for this, now that you say it it makes sense! I have to admit though, something that doesn't make ass much sense and is slightly more intriguing... What inspired you to choose that name? :-D
In russian we actually say in a similar way. Спасибо! (Thank you!) - Не за что (меня благодарить)! (the phrase literally means 'There is nothing you have to thank me for, it's easy for me'). More proper one which corresponds with 'You are welcome!' is 'пожалуйста!'
@@thegroovygenes2772 haha, I came up with this a long time ago when I was trying to come up with an outrageous name, and was somewhat inspired by the name of the death metal band Dying Fetus
@@user-nh6op5rq4y Greets to our Russian ,best greets from Serbia .
In Bulgarian exists similar phrase: Няма защо. It's very commonly used.
All these languages have a common thread, but they diverge as populations grow, spread and mix.
in Serbian it can be both way do you speak...? da li govorite...? or govorite li...?
Maybe Serbian is just more flexible language, not so many strict rules with word order in a sentence, it has many synonymous, loan words and Slavic words to say something, different ways to say something. so it might be easier for us to understand Bulgarian than vice versa? for example here in Serbian can be "ovde" as in video or "tu" while in BG is "tuka"
and kompot is same but with different accent kom-pooot vs kom-POT unless you are from the eastern Serbia then you will say as she did :) I am sure she would understand more if she heard eastern Serbian accent
''Ovde'' exists in Bulgarian too but as a dialect word used mostly in Western Bulgaria and not in the Standard language. In Standard form we only use ''tuk'' or ''tuka'' (like Macedonian only has ''tuka''). We have ''tu'' in Bulgarian but it has different purpose like ''ту черен, ту бял''
Try Interslavic!
Also, I'm not familiar with the gentleman's speaker profile, but English is a (rather distorted) Germanic language, so it'd probably be more relevant to have him try Dutch, German. Frisian would be great, but there might not be too much content out there.
With respect to the end of the video I don't believe English is a latin language but a Germanic one. So that experiment of tryinf to understand French or Italian if you haven't had any exposure to these languages will probably bomb. I as a Bulgarian thought that Serbian was very close to Bulgarian but after warching this video I think Russian might be closer. Maybe do a video with Bulgarian and Russian if you haven't done one already

Listen to Macedonian. It is almost the same
English is a language from the Germanic language family, so I believe German, Dutch, Swedish, etc. would be much more understandable for him than the Romance languages like Spanish, Italian, French and so on.
Good idea, thanks Edward 🖒
Kompot is also in Poland, IT means a sweet drink with fruit in IT :)
Same meaning.
That's so weird, because I sent my Bulgarian friend some Serbian and Bosnian songs, and she said she could barely understand them, even with the lyrics.
From where she is from? If she is from Eastern part of the country, she would struggle more but if she is more from Western part of the country she would understand them better.
It’s basically the same language with different dialects
You could say for the every language family. Well, English diverged so much because of the Romanization period of the Frenches but still there are words that are almost the same as other Germanic languages like how ''water'' is the same in Dutch too but pronounced slightly differently.
We can say in bosnia aswell molim for your welcome. if somebody says hvala za poklon- thanks for the suprise we can say nema na cemu. but also molim
Yeah, I once talked to a Bulgarian taxi driver... after 5 mins we switched to English. There were simply way too many things thst weren't understood even though we could get the jist of what the other person was saying. Biggest problem is not grammar, but vocabulary. It has simply diverged too much.
Interesting experience SerbAtheirst :) I guess it is like a bit of a challenge in this situation. It would always be tempting to try to speak to someone in your own language (if they are similar in any way) to see how far you can get to in the conversation but also have the option of reverting back to English.
I know serbian and I can talk with a person that speaks bulgarian just fine (80% of the things are same)
Btw, zima also means winter in serbian.
If you had a little bit of exposure to serbians you would have understood more.
I agree :)
You can say "Da li govorite Engleski" or "Govorite li Engleski", same meaning.
I'd say we could understand each other if we spoke slow. I used to do that with one Bulgarian girl just for funs (me using Serbian and she used Bulgarian and only if there was no way we would switch to English, no need for the most part). But, my grandmother was from eastern Serbia where they used some Bulgarian words or from Bulgarian origin that are not used as official Serbian.
I would understand both of these Stormrage! I guess you are right, if we speak slowly so I can also make sure I am hearing the words separately and not just like one sentence is one long word, then we will probably have a descent conversation!
I wish I had a friend like this when I was back home and to be honest for the last 10 years that I`ve lived in the UK, I don`t remember meeting 1 Serbian person - even at uni where the mixture is usually from all over the place.
It`s interesting you say this about your grandmother. Mine uses some Turkish words even though as far as we know we have no Turkish relatives but I guess in our region of Bulgaria there were enough Turskish people in the past to make some of their words stick (like with you unofficially of course).
@@thegroovygenes2772 I guess we all picked up some Turkish words. It is a normal thing when you live for 500 years under them. There are lots of them in Serbian, but so are Greek or French and more recent English. We use "dvoriste" more often then "avlija", second one is Turkish word. I wonder if you can understand either.
I live in Belgrade and we speak standard Serbian here but my grandmother never lost her dialect so I learned some interesting phrases from that region from her. But dialect thing is dying off now. Younger people over there use more standardized words and only thing remaining is an accent.
Yes, true they influence is present and actually in certain parts of Bulgaria they are still present too. I think there are some villages where the population is predominantly Turskish people. I assume it's the same in Serbia?!
I don't understand the Turkush word but the Serbian one sounds like our word for garden/land in our house premises which is 'dvor' (двор). Is it the same?
Same in Bulgaria, dialects are dying off too and many young people make their way to the capital more and more so yes the language is being standardised there, too.
@@thegroovygenes2772 In Serbia not Turkish, just Muslim (Bosniak). But they are not using Turkish language but their culture is more influenced by Turks. And still it is minority living in south west around town of Novi Pazar.
Yes, it is house yard. But dvor have slightly different meaning in Serbian, it means more like royal palace when you say it but roots must be same, house. For house we say kuca or dom (second must be from Latin, Domus).
@@thegroovygenes2772 speaking of dvor we use thing liek "dvoriti" that means to serve someone, you know to treat them as VIP.

пешком
бегом
пълзешком

In Bulgarian we have ''voz'' as train but it's old-fashioned and we used ''vlak'' like Croatian. The Croatian ''mrkva'' is closer to the Bulgarian ''morkov'' I'm pretty sure ''Šargarepa'' is a Hungarian loan so that's why it's the difference.

I have notised few old style bulgarian/old church slovonic words in every video and we use them today as well, so if we listen any slavic language we just have to remember some of the old words that we dont use that often, but we sure know - she just didnt aproach it like this
I guess this girl is not a constant inhabitant of Bulgaria...Her language culture and vocabulary is poor.
С "полако" разбрах какво имат предвид, но не съм сигурна дали по пътя на логиката или съвпадение, заради близко звучене. Реших, че "полако" е като "плахо" = неуверено, боязливо, със страх. Когато изпитваш несигурност, вървиш бавно. Та оттам реших, че е нещо като "вървя с плахи/малки стъпки" = вървя бавно. Но това, което ти даде за пример има повече смисъл, отколкото откъдето аз изходих.
Имаме го ''ово'' също в някои западни диалекти, както и ''овде.'' По-близката дума до ''али'' е ''ала.'' Макар, че и ние имаме ''али/ал'' като диалектно за ''или.'' ''Када'' също го имаме в западните ни диалекти - тя е от санскрит.
All OK... but where you dig out African Serbian to participate a lesson !?
He might be Albanian. One never knows.
@@rightwingreactionary no he seems like a native serbski
She is faking it.
That beautiful fish is tormented for no reason. Her ancestors screwed up and ruined the Serbian language !!!
Нямаш разлики между диктаторът Слободан Милошевич. Да не кажа как изкривихте думата ''свобода'' със ''слобода.''
this is not bulgarian laungage, Bulgarian laungage is dialect of macedonian,this is need a write Sebian vs Macedonian
More like Macedonian can be called strictly a Bulgarian dialect
@@jonathanivanov7070 Bulgarian is a dialect of Serbian, and Serbian is a dialect of Montenegrin.

What kind of Bulgarian language? Bulgarians have converted old Serbian and made their own babble out of it!
Funny how bulgaria is on the balkans before serbia but ok
Haha in your dreams
nije bas tako brate oni nemaju samo padeze i nas jezik je bio slican njihvom pre vukove reforme
@@janakolasinac1686 I understand that you are a Serbian chauvinist.
1. Turks and Mongols are different racially and linguistically.
2. The proto-Bulgarian language, probably from the Turkic group, disappeared more than 1000 years ago.
3. All Slavic languages derive from the common proto-Slavic language.
4. South Slavic languages are divided into two groups: Western (Serbo-Croatian) and Eastern (Bulgarian-Macedonian). The difference is mainly in the lack of grammatical case and the determinant in the eastern group. I see no reason to declare a language from the eastern group a dialect of a language from the western group. Croats, Montenegrins and Bosniaks (even in Serbia itself) from the Western group (almost identical to Serbian) do not consider their languages to be Serbian dialects.
When did these old Serbs convert to Bulgarians? Do you have evidence of ever expressing the Serbian ethnic sanity of the population on the territory of today's Bulgaria?
Sister languages. Must be fascinating. We Greeks are rather isolated linguistically speaking. The Greek language has no sister language. Only second and third cousins in the Indoeuropean family.
Unless if you count Albanian and Armenian which are isolated too.
@@HeroManNick132 Υes of course and not only those. There are other isolates too. Like the Basque language which unlike Greek, Albanian and Armenian, is not even indo-european in origin but it seems to be totally unrelated to any lingual family.
@@theo9952 We are talking about Indo-European languages not Non Indo-European ones.
True, as a Bulgarian speaker, one could make out what people are saying in over 20 countries, from the Balkans, up to Russia and its Asian republics.
