My Slováci sme až takí dobrí ľudia, že sme Čechom darovali svoj najväčší klenot, a tým je pán Babiš😉😁
sice si tohoto dárku moc ceníme, ale mohli byste si ho vzít zase zpátky, nevíme, co s ním dělat 😉

Bez něj by to tu byl stejnej bordel, ale míň zábavnej. Díky bratři a vlajku máte stejně hezčí.

Some Czechs even go there for their final hike. Dead. 😂😂😂😂😂🥰
Stačí si poplést cestu na Štrbské pleso s výstupem na Sněžku 😅 a oblečení jako na Václavák.
Ujebalo dekeľ, ako sa na Slovensku hovorí. 🤣🤣🤣
@Marian White ponožky to jistí 😂😂
Ale když na Václavák dopadnou vločky, vyrazí do města ve výbavě jak na Matterhorn :D
Protože to tam maj blbě značený 😂 (seriál Kosmo)
Opět skvělá práce, Jen.
Až teď, když to tak poslouchám mi dochází, jaký zázrak to byl, že jsme se rozdělili relativně klidně. A je zvláštní, jak rozdílné země jsme...že to tak dlouho drželo pohromadě. Uvidíme, jaký vztah ke Slovensku bude mít generace, která nezažila Československo. Pro mě jsou to pořád bratranci...oblíbení. To je víc, než bratr, který mě štve :-)
Souhlasim s vami o tom zazraku, ale jak rozdilne? Co takhle Belgie, Spanelsko, Italie - pokud zustanu v Evrope - a stale se drzi pohromade, i kdyz se to tam obcas trochu vari.
Ja som Slovenka zijuca v Japonsku a velakrat ludia bud nevedia, ze sme sa rozdelili (starsie generacie), alebo nechapu ako, alebo naco sme sa rozdelili. Myslia si, ze sme ako Juhoslavia, a ze sme mali vojnu. Naucila som sa to vysvetlit tak, ze sme ako dvaja bratia. Mame sa sice stale radi, ale ako sme vyrastli, potrebujeme kazdy vlastnu izbu.
Inac ja som narodena 1989, a nikdy mi ani nenapadlo, ze by sme boli s Cechmi jeden narod, alebo, ze by sme si boli daki podobni, az kym som nesla na univerzitu do Olomouca a chodila som kazdych par tyzdnov cez hranice ako keby tam ani neboli. Vtedy som mala pocit, ze rozdelenie bola riadna blbost, ale tak co ja viem...
@@momosaku16 Přesně, jak píšete. Bratři Slováci cítili, že potřebují vlastní "bydlení." Bratři Češi jim kecali do života víc, než se jim líbilo. A pro změnu někteří bratři Češi si zase stěžovali, že bratry Slováky živí a že na ně doplácí. Prostě každý z bratrů potřeboval více svého prostoru a, jak se občas mezi bratry stává, pohádali se. Takže zrušili společné "bydlení", bydlí každý ve svém a za svoje, a zjistili, že jsou pořád bráchové, kteří se v podstatě měli rádi a stále se rádi mají.
@@jiritichy7967 dřív mi ty rozdíly vůbec nepřišly na mysl. V 93 mi bylo 21 let...měl jsem za to, že jen mluví jinak a jsou temperamentnější...až po rozdělení jsem se dozvěděl jak došlo ke sloučení.
My už vieme, aký vzťah má nová generácia k Slovensku. Nerozumejú slovenskému jazyku. Sme pre nich to isté, ako Chorváti, či Slovinci a tak ďalej podľa zoznamu.
"Some Czechs even go there for their final hike."
Ýou have truly acclimated to Czech humour, Jen. ;-))
Minor corrections on some of the symbols:
The Slovak flag and coat of arms has existed since the 1840s, based on the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Hungary (hence why modern Hungary also has its own variation). It was used by the Slovak National Council in the late 1840s (essentially the first-ever Slovak governmental body) during the Hungarian civil war of 1848/1849 (part of the Revolutions of 1848). The entirely first version of the flag and CoA had green hills instead of blue, same as in the kingdom's coat of arms. All later versions were changed to blue, since the white-blue-red tricolors were associated with Slavic-speaking countries and their emerging national movements. The blue was also meant to symbolize that it's in the north of historical Hungary, to differentiate it from the green hills on the Hungarian national symbols.
The song that became the national anthem was written in the 1840s, also during the events of 1848/1849, published for the first time in the very early 1850s. It was popular enough among various patriots to have staying power over the decades and its early verses were chosen as part of the future Czechoslovak anthem during WWI, before Czechoslovakia declared independence in 1918.
Thank you for these details. Very interesting!
As for "the white-blue-red tricolors were associated with Slavic-speaking countries", I wanted to comment on their Russian-Dutch origins. But then, when I checked the facts, I found it expressed very concisely on Wikipedia (instead of my chunky sentences):
"The pan-Slavic colours - red, blue and white - were defined by the Prague Slavic Congress, 1848, based on the flag of Russia, which was introduced in the late 17th century. The tricolor flag of Russia was itself inspired by the flag of the Netherlands." And so, thank you Peter the Great and the Netherlands!
Anyway, as a Slovak, I´m really glad Czechs "stole" our common flag - wouldn´t that be a pitty if such a nice flag ceased to exist?
@@jansoltes971 I know of the Dutch inspiration behind the tricolor pattern, one of those fun historical curios. I concur that Czechia should be excused for keeping that flag. :-) It's a well-established and distinct design, no sense letting it go to waste. The same goes for our's, given its even longer history.
@@ZemplinTemplar Cheers! Couldn´t agree more.
@@DreamPrague My pleasure. Rádo se stalo.
On a sidenote, though Slovak beers are more ordinary than Czech ones and the Czech brewery traditions outpace most other European countries, Slovakia does have a few notable beer brands: You've mentioned Zlatý Bažant, but there's also Corgoň, Topvar, Smädný mních and Šariš. I'm not sure if the Steiger brewery near Banská Štiavnica is still in business. Even a district town near my domicile once had an old brewery established in the 19th century, though that one's been gone for some twenty years now.
The aforementioned Golden Pheasant apparently has a Czech branch, so some of our breweries certainly have a fair bit of chutzpah by trying to penetrate the Czech beer market. ;-) There's also a few notable Slovak liquor brands, especially the herbal liquor Demänovka. I suppose Slovakia's stronger suit is making wine and making spirits, while beer is all right, but not necessarily exceptional compared to other beer-drinking countries.
Personally, I don't drink, so I won't and can't judge the quality of Slovak beer, but I've heard from those that have tried Czech or Slovak beer, as well as American beer, that US beer really does leave a lot to be desired.
Here's a few ads for various beer brands:
- ruclips.net/video/rnMWBEyjPcs/видео.html - Šariš, "An easterner by heart" :-))
- ruclips.net/video/8hHI-BSPSxU/видео.html - Smädný mních (i.e. "The Thirsty Monk")
- ruclips.net/video/AvJZPCmCYCI/видео.html - Zlatý Bažant ad for the "1973" edition of the beer (cheesy 1970s retro music video that doesn't take itself seriously at all)
- ruclips.net/video/1A_E2Cy3Pss/видео.html - Demänovka herbal liquor (mid-2000s ad, "We're classier than all those low-brow beer ads !")
the thing about us Slovaks being more friendly and open to foreigners (and people in general), I think it's because Slovakia had more influence from the south (Hungary, Turkey, Romania etc) while Czechia had more German influence. Czech customer service is very similar to German and they both hate ''small talk''. Slovaks love small talk and talking to people/strangers in general is way more common in Slovakia than it is in Czechia BUT I find Czech tourist in Slovakia very open and friendly. Maybe those that are like this tend to visit Slovakia or they are like this because they come here often?
Also, food in Slovakia was heavily influenced by Hungary and we all know Hungarian food is amazing so we can't really complain about that. I'd say more Slovaks cook Hungarian meals than Czech meals but then Czech sweets and beers are very popular in Slovakia. We've got the best from both worlds haha
Slovakia has always been a melting pot and many people brought their culture, food and traditions to Slovakia which makes Slovakia way more diverse than the Czech Republic.
We aren't that different in the end of the day but I'm glad that we are not the same either. There is nothing I dislike about Czechs. They do things the way they want and vice versa. That mutual respect might be the reason why we are brothers to this day.
I mentioned above that I would not dwell on liitle details. You mentioned one, frendliness and openness to foreigners. I wonder whether there is really a difference in general.
I`m Slovak and I was surprised about the friendliness thing, because I think most Slovaks go about their day with a resting bitch face :D Definitely don`t think we`re more friendly than Czechs.
I wouldn't think that Slovakia is greater melting pot for other nations...
@@luboskulhavy7769 what do you mean by ''greater for other nations''? I've never said that
Is Vladimir a Slovak name?
Jen, splitting the anthem was no problem at all. The Czechoslovak anthem was created as a combination of two separate shortened parts of Czech and Slovak anthems long before the country split in 1993. Here in Slovakia, we just added a few more historical original verses after the split. Fun fact: Many Slovakian people still have problems to sing added verses, but everyone 100% knows the first one used in the Czechoslovak national anthem too. I love your videos. Greetings from Slovakia.
And the reason why it is a problem is that a few words changed and people simply dont remember which version is the current one 🤣🤣🤣
I have similar experience. My dad always ends anthem with huge breath-in in preparation for Slovak part. :-)
@@martinherzig4675 Because Slovak part is like thunder. 😄
@@martinherzig4675 I was 10 when the split happened... and till now after Czech anthem I am like "and that was all?"
I think the amicable divorce makes much more sense when you think of it as two friends getting into marriage of conveniece to get away from their respective obsessive and abusive parents (Austria and Hungary) and to persuade the important peers (USA, UK, France) that they are stable and mature enough to be independent. Truth is we were always a country of many nations (mostly slovaks and czechs, but don't forget the minorities) and when we no longer needed the marriage to keep us reliable in the eyes of the international community, we just divorced. 💁🏻♀️
I find interesting not these big things that were happening nation wide, but the little things people in the border region had to experience. For example when the country was still unsplit, some czechs had farmlands on slovak side, some slovaks on the czech side as a result of inter marrying. After the split, these small farmers found out that the split also meant that you cant transport food (AKA the potatoes they farmed on their own plot of land for either personal use or small market) across the official border without some sort of extra license or tax.
They often solved it by using old roads between the hills where guard posts often didnt exist. Some say these were left open on purpose because the border guards knew the laws were a little dumb, so they left a way out for the people, so that they can do it away from the eyes of authorities.
So much for showing respect to authorities and dumb laws on both sides of the border, that did not exist before. Reminds me of the case when old historic two axle trams were returned from Brno technical museum to Bratislava (they were never restored there, because they cannot run there due to different track gauge). On the border crossing, the "intelligent" customs officer requested a document proving that the tram is really from Bratislava and that it crossed the border when being moved to Brno. Of course, there was no document, as there was no border at that time when the communists decided to create a centralized museum of public transport vehicles. While the trams 18 and 31 were returned, have been restored and are enjoyed every summer by tourists and locals alike, the car 206 is still kept in Brno, they do not want to give it back. My hopes are not high that it will get restored there. Oh, and the reason? Because it was built at Studénka, so they consider it as "theirs". The tams 18 and 31 were built in Bratislava.
Common sense always wins.
Ja som sa narodil v Československu a hoci rešpektujem formálne rozdelenie republík, stále vnímam, že patríme k sebe a môžeme byť navzájom pre seba inšpiráciou a oporou aj na medzinárodnej scéne. 🇨🇿 + 🇸🇰 = ❤
Hi Jen, you forgot to mention that Slovaks gained free study in Czech universities. Only in Brno there is approx. 10 thousand Slovak students.
Well, it gets the other way around, too. Just there are not many Czechs studying at Slovak universities. I wonder why... 🤣
We are in the EU now, anyone from anywhere in the EU can study for free in Czechia based on the same rules as a Czech person.
@@noodleppoodle No the free study in Czech University is only for those who opt to learn in Czech language, those who study in english pay for studying here.
@@jozef_chocholacek Nejsem si jist, jestli ta cisla jsou srovnatelne. Ale co takhle pocet Slovaku zijicich a pracujicich v Cesku? Aby bylo jasno, ja to vidim positivne.
@@Arianeria I think you mean that the language barrier in practice means its not free. At least anyone from the EU who learns Czech and uses Czech as the language of instruction at university can study for free. In general: The same rules have to apply to Czech people as to EU nationals If any English language course is offered free to Czechs, it needs to be offered free to EU nationals as well.
One, of the many split things was money making equpiment.
Czechoslovakian national company responsible for printing bills was in Prauge (still works btw.) and the national mint was in Kremnica, Slovakia. So when the new Czech and Slovak money were desinged, each country had to build one new factory to make them.
Yes. And till than a day the economy was stopped for a day and cash money was marked with a sign where it goes - to Czechia or to Slovakia. So it was easy to say and easy to change later because the money soon started to have a different value.
Not exactly true. After the split there still was a monetary union, however it only lasted for six weeks. Then the Czechs and Slovaks marked their bills with stamps as a privisional measure before respective national currencies are designed and printed. Czech stamps (160 million) were printed in Bogota, Colombia. The first batch of Czech Koruna bills were at the same time - for security reasons - printed in Winnipeg, Canada and in secret flown to Prague. Czech Koruna coins were minted in Hamburg, Germany
@@petr7694 To je zaujímavý fakt!

Love learning about culture and history...your video really hit the spot.😊Thank you, Jen.🇨🇿🇸🇰
Thanks Jen and Team for another great Video. This surely sings along with many other sources that have mentioned similar points. You just beautifully assembled it all together. I am yet to go and visit Slovakia and am really looking forward to it.
Welcome to soon visit on my country Slovakia ♥
one of the least known facts but those who follow sports, know this:
after the split of Czechoslovakia, new ice hockey national teams were established. But while the Czechs were - for some reason - immediately put into A category along with the best teams of the world like Canada or Sweden, Slovakia was put into C category and was treated like it has never played the game before. No matter that the former Czechoslovak team had players of both nationalities, it was only Czech republic that was seen as a successor.
A bit unfair for Slovakia, if you ask me. 🤷😂
Not only hockey. And to add to that we needed like 3 years to get to the A category with team that could take medals on main tournaments.
Slovakia hockey federation was new subject and had to start from bottom. Czech kingdom was one of the founding members of IIHF(LIHG) on 1908. So we logically continued as successors in group a.
@@Xawwis True, but did they had to put Slovakia in group C?
@@jiritichy7967 Not sure what IIHF rules were back then, but I heard that slovakia representatives were very inexperienced in negotiations and its mostly their fault, but can be just lie.
@Jan Krynicky Which team from group C was downgraded to D (if D exists)?
Miluju ten přízvuk moraváka "nad tatró sa blyska" 😂❤️
Hi Jen, I would just add one more aspect of the split: that it was a political decision of basically two leaders. They didn't ask the citizens in a referendum, because they knew that at the time the majority was against it.
again,the quality of your videos are getting better and better….always pleasure to watch…..thank you Jen,tom from slovakia🇸🇰😀
What an extensive research! Thank you.
Jen! You're so good! I absolutely love your videos. You make me miss Czechia so much. And you're absolutely right about Slovakia. We Czechs love them and I have always felt so much love from Slovaks. I'm happy we both have our own countries and together, we get more players in sports, more votes in the European Union while enjoying all the benefits of freedom of movement as if we were still one country. It's a win win win. I admire how much you know about Czechia and Slovakia. So good. So good! Thank you! Cheers from Canada (it was -47°C here last month) Madness :-)
As a Slovak living in the Czech Republic, I especially enjoy this series. :)
I'm glad, thanks for watching!
I am neither Slovak nor Czech and still enjoy these series. Just today I decided to watch videos about these countries. Fascinating!
@@sweetvictory5643 Jen has always something interesting for everyone! 😊
Objection! Fried cheese is the national dish of Czechoslovakia. It always was, is and will remain in both countries being regarded as "domestic" food. There are Czech foods, there are Slovak foods and then there is also Czechoslovak food = fried cheese.
spend my university years eating fried cheese in our cafeteria in Bratislava😛
Because no other meal left at 14 o'clock.
I suppose. Though the quality really varies depending on who's preparing it (and from what ingredients) and it's not the kind of food I'd eat regularly.
"řekla jsi ňoky?!" Jen, expect your Czech passport in the mail any minute now.
tiež ma to prekvapilo a večšina nás slovakov ani nepoužíva zemiaky do halušiek stačí múka

This comments section should be fun. Even more polarizing things mentioned in the video than previously. But! The audience on this channel is very well mannered and educated.

@@momosaku16 I have a feeling that this comments section is not being visited by the average Czech or Slovak person. People here are nice and polite to each other.

...a vies ze mas pravdu😉
Je to pekná vlajka ^^
Ale mate skraloup
Chápem, že mať vlajku, ktorú si mnohí pomýlia s poľskou je blbé. Akože osobne, ale to je iba môj názor, by som modrú farbu nahradil žltou, pre Moravu a Sliezsko. Tvar vlajky mohol ostať, iba by som vymenil modrú za žltú. Ale nevadí mi že ČR používa vlajku Československa. Alternatívne mohla byť biela vymenená za žltú.
A kradená vlajka krásně vystihuje českou národní mentalitu.
Výborné! 👍 Výstižné!
Jen, thanks for the geat video ! I think that the Czechs and Slovaks managed the divorce quite well 30 years ago. Moreover, I think that satisfaction with the "velvet" divorce is on both sides.
However who was very disappointed with this break-up are people with the Czech roots living in the USA. Their ancestors, who left this country during the Austro-Hungarian Empire and moved to the US. And these ancestors did so much for the birth of Czechoslovakia in 1918. They supported the creation of Czechoslovakia with financial donations, and many of them also fought in the Czechoslovakian legions in World War I. So, Czechoslovakia would never have arisen without America !
When I arrived in Texas in the summer of 1993 (half a year after the break-up of Czechoslovakia), many people of Czech origin there asked me "why did you allow the break-up of Czechoslovakia there" !!! These people were very sad that Czechoslovakia had disappeared from the map of the world.
Me and my sister are also Slovak and love your channel tots!!!
Slovaks have Borovička which is also known as the venegance of the forest or the squirrel piss.

this was neat. Except that fried cheese faux pas! Extra points for "their last hike" and "řekla si ňoky?". I wonder if you have seen the Czech TV series Kosmo episode dealing with the Slovak space capsule Posol. It is probably the funniest depiction of Czech/Slovak relationship on the internet.
S těmi sestrami jste to velmi dobře vystihla. Myslim si ale, že jsme Slovensko po roce 1948 hospodářsky solidně pozdvihli. Kdyz chteli jít , tak proč je držet. Nakonec Slováci se trhli už v roce 1939. Rád ale poslouchám slovenštinu, zvláště z úst hezké Slovenky.
Aha, S tou vlajkou. I proto nás vidí cizinci pořád jako Československo, protože pořád máme bývalou vlajku
Ukradli jsme vlajku a kdyby tu byli Indiáni tak je ukrademe i zem.
Veru Nice job Jen
In order not to blame us Slovaks we also have Steiger beer, which has been brewed in Vyhny since 1473 and was the first Slovak brewery, which is still brewing today, we also have Corgoň (which is in Nitra) together with Zlatý Bažant and Kelt belong to HEINEKEN, or and Smädný monk and Šariš - an eastern brewer at heart, which is owned by the Japanese Ashai. But we have various microbreweries such as Erb and in Banská Štiavnica, which is in UNESCO), Kaltenecker-Rožňava, Vršky-Terchová, Flamm-Rajecké Teplice, Tatras-Poprad,Buchwald-Spišská Nová Ves,Golem,Hostinec-Košice
Of course the Czech brothers have more beer 😉
But we have Tatranský čaj (Tatra tea) or Borovička 😁 and especially we have Tatras and Halušky 😄 and you have Prague,Kutná Hora,České Budejovice and beautiful castles and chateaus
One more sporting difference in football and hockey we were relegated to group C and had to get out of it to a higher group...
And the "nines" were difficult for the mafia, politics and politicians... not just for Slovakia, which Madeline Allbright described as "the black hole of Europe"
I love both countries and they are both beautiful each has something of its own and nice and that's great🥰
Aby som nám Slovákom nekrivdila mámme aj pivo Steiger, ktoré sa robí vo Vyhniach už od 1473 a bol to prvý slovenský pivovar, ktorý varí dodnes, ďalej máme aj Corgoň ( ten je v Nitre) spolu s Zlatým Bažantom a Keltom patria HEINEKENU, alebo a Smädný mních a Šariš - srdcom východňar, ktorý vlastní japonský Ashai. Ale máme rôzne mikropivovary ako napr. Erb a v Banskej Štiavnici, ktorá je v UNESCO), Kaltenecker-Rožňava, Vršky-Terchovám Flamm-Rajecké Teplice, Tatras-Poprad,Buchwald Spišská Nová Ves,Golem, hostinec-Košice
Samozrejme bratia Češi majú piva viac 😉
Ale my máme Tatranský čaj či Borovičku 😆 aa hlavne my máme Tatry a halušky 😃 zas vy máte Prahu, Kutná Hora, České Budejovice a prekrásne hrady a zámky
ešte jeden športový rozdiel vo futbalea v hokeji my sme spadli do C skupiny a museli sme sa z nej dostať do vyššej skupiny...
A ,,devediestky" boli náročné mafia, politika a politici... nie len pre Slovesnko, ktoré Madeline Allbright označila ako ,,čiernu diera Europy"..
Milujem obe krajiny a obe sú krásne, každá má niečo to svoje, pekné a to je super🥰
These are great extra details, thanks for adding them to the conversation!
very interesting part of the divorce was the currency split. The existing federal banknotes stock was stamped with official stamps (kolek, basically a small piece of paper sticked on the banknote, same principle as stamping alcohol or cigarettes nowadays) of each newly formed country (in usual 2:1 ratio) and they remained in circulation for several months before central bank printing works were able to produce enough banknotes of the new republics. When travelling from CZ to SK during those months, you had to exchange the exactly same looking banknotes, only with different stamps. CZK got stronger very early so basically you got more than 100 korunas stamped with Slovak stamp for each 100 korunas with Czech stamp although the banknotes otherwise looked exactly the same (but for the stamp).
Excellent video as always. Do video about Milan Curda please.
Actually, the two verses of the Czechoslovak anthem came from two different songs. The second verse of Kde domov můj (which is not part of the Czech anthem even after Czechoslovakia split) is this:
Kde domov můj,
kde domov můj.
V kraji znáš-li Bohu milém
duše útlé v těle čilém,
mysl jasnou vznik a zdar,
a tu sílu vzdoru zmar?
To je Čechů slavné plémě,
mezi Čechy domov můj,
mezi Čechy domov můj!

About beer. Except Zlaty Bazant we have other breweries. One of them is Pivovar Vyhne founded in 1473. I have friend who was working their and I know that they were filling cans for czech breweries ;)
Interesting video very informative. btw I think Zlaty Bazant is reallt good! lol The 1st time my father-in-law came to visit us I had a fridge full of it for him. Not an easy task here lol but he laughed and said he wanted to drink my miller light because he can drink that other stuff back home anytime so I got to enjoy all the delicious golden pheasant from myself :) good tmes
I think it is important to said that we have similar languages so we understand. And there are many czechoslovakia married couples and friendships. I feel we are truely family! ♥
As Slovak: "Zlatý Bažant? No. Thank you". Fortunately we have more than that one, beside Czech beers, of course.
Hey, great video! Btw, could you make a video about the double taxation you are facing from the US while living in Czechia (FATCA Act)? I think its relevant for a lot (well literally all) expats.
Interesting . Double taxation of properties ownes or income or something else ?
I thought the flag thing was because we used to have the same design as Poland has now but they took that and I guess we didnt bother to make a new one.
Veľmi pekne zhrnuté Jen!
Tak nefňukej.
Fantasticke znalosti Čiech a Slovenka.. klobúk dole 💯👌
jako Čech jsem si tohle video užil ....a je to všechno pravda :D good job
Still, best friends, Go Czechia, Go Slovakia!
Dear Jen, I found a mistake :-). Czechoslovakia had got several newer army jet airplanes - MIGs 29, old MIGs 23 and many older jet airplanes MIG 21. So the newest airplanes MIG 29 (20pcs) was splitted by 10 to 10 - better for Slovakia, all 33pcs of Mig 23 was shifted to Czech republic. The newer planes MIG 29 was changed to helicopters with Poland very soon, the old MIGs 23 and older Migs 21 was replaced by JAS 39 gripens - you know. Slovakia solves the army "superjets change problem" now we had to solve it in 2005.
Slovakia could supported Ukraine by this planes now. Czech dont have got any soviet airplanes now.
that final hike joke though :D
There were plenty of lawsuits about historical and cultural artifacts from Slovakia being displayed in Czech museums and constant refusals to return them. Most of the important items were returned by now, but not all and there are a lot of less important items that were just not worth the hassle.
I like the big focus on beer and wine :)
I love you and your videos from Slovakia 😉
I like your videos and I enjoy your view to Czechs, Jen!
I have to have a comment about flags: In fact Czechs have spoiled the original Czech's Kingdom flag (white and red stripe only) with blue triangle due to Slovaks after 1918. Than Poland has been restored, and they Czech historical flag has been kept by Poland... or would you really recognize the difference between Czech 2:3 and Polish 5:8 ratio? So we took what has left alone at the moment 🙂...
Good luck aslo with your next ones!
I've lived in Slovakia since 2016, and sometimes I still can't get my head around how bad the roads are and how slow they are in building new ones. (Still no east/west motorway) But you have to take the ruff with the smooth. I'm off to the high tatras next weekend, last hike? I hope not.
how slow? We are able to make about 300m of highway annually, it is only 24 times slower than a snail movement. :D
The true reason for the split was we wanted more ice hockey medals from world championships. Just czech the years 1996 to 2005!
I have heard and experienced quite the opposite when it comes to friendliness in the two nations. Also the food, I wouldn't say Slovakian food is better, it just boils down to preference, I think. I really love the Czech food and I always miss it when I am abroad. Also I really miss the Czech konzumní chléb (also called chléb Šumava) which cannot be (from my own experience) found anywhere outside of the Czech Republic. Not even in Slovakia. And I really love our plain bread. Also not only Morava or Slovakia have good wines, in Litoměřice region (namely Litoměřice, Roudnice nad Labem and Malé/Velké Žernoseky) are made really delicious wines.
Maybe the question of citizenship, was it determined based on the place of birth or could they choose? Great video! thanks :)
We could choose. My grandfather was Slovakian, but my grandmother was Moravian and because they lived in todays Czechia when the split came my grandfather got to choose keep Slovakian citizenship or take the Czech citizenship as it was his wifes citizenship. He was not happy he did not wan´t to choose, but in the end he choose Czech citizenship and by doing that he was entitled to Czech pension which was much bigger then the Slovakian one so for him it was win situation. Usualy people got to choose if they wanted to be citizens of the country on which side of the border they lived.
If you were 18+ you could choose. But later if you were from a mixed marriage and had relatives from both countries, so you could get dual citizenship. There was a paragraph for it.
Between 1969 and 1993, Czechoslovakia was a federation and people already had either Czech or Slovak citizenship alongside their primary Czechoslovak citizenship.
On January 1, 1993 the Czechoslovak citizenship ceased to exist and these secondary citizenships became people's primary ones.
However, during the first year people could freely switch to citizenship of the other country.
So everybody got to choose, but most people automatically got the citizenship they wanted.
It was quite complicated. People born before 1954 became citizens of the country they were born in, people born after 1954 became citizens of the country of their parents if it was the same country. Children from mixed marriages were citizens of the country they were born in. People could change their citizenship during 1993.
Yeah, everyone had the possibility to choose teh citizenship.
thanks for another great video Jen.
As I'm missing Prague I'm watching most of your videos from the start 😁😅
Not sure if you can/want to answer this, but are you still working as an English teacher in Prague or what current projects are you working on now?
Diky for entertaining us ✌😋
I am not working as an English teacher any more, thanks for asking. I am working mostly on this channel and other projects related to it. A dream job! I get to research and talk about Czech culture all day long!
@@DreamPrague great to hear that the channel took off so good now. Waiting now patiently for your next video.
Enjoy the weekend in Prague 🙂✌
Very interesting video,thank you Jen. Do one about bohemia vs moravia😂😂😂
Poor little Silesia. 😉
@@vermull19 😂😂its starting already😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Uh oh, I don't know how that one would work out!
Wow, this was really informative and concise! In slovak history classes we don´t get time to talk about the split.
Correction 3:11 - "Ribezlak" wine is made from red currant fruits thus it should be called "red currant wine" instead of "current wine". If done right it tastes same as red currants - refreshing, sweet, sour and tangy - it is a piece of heaven. Unfortunately, b/c it is sweet it is easy to cheat - to increase volume some producers add sugar, water and chemicals resulting in infamous "dunihlav" (headache) wine. There are also black currant fruits, they taste similar, but more aromatic thus they are more often used to make jams or syrups. You are correct - Slovak Red currant wine is hard to find abroad, but there are other countries producing this wine. I usually drink it in Croatia (locally produced). Also they make it in USA, in Michigan. Cheers.
I am Slovak and I have always found Czechs to be much nicer and much more chill than Slovaks.
Unlike in Czech, in Slovak "Kapusta" actually means cabbage
Ďalší veľký rozdiel je vo význame slova "honit". České "honit někoho" má v slovenčine úplne iný význam. 😀😀😀
Policisté honili utíkajícího zloděje. 😁😁😁
Sprostý ! Největší nedorozumění
@@Desperoro - dlouho jsem si o jedné příbuzné Slovence myslel, že je svině nepřejícná, když mi pokaždé, když mě viděla, říkala, že by som mal schudnúť. Až později mi došlo, že jí šlo o moje zdraví.
a co tak drbat. 😂😂😂
How interesting!
As far as the cuisine goes Czech comes from heavy agricultural backgrouns with a lot of calories for field workers. They also say that a lot of the meat gets to be cooked for that long is because the best meat went to Vienna. Slovakia had been a lot poorer with the cuisine accordingly more basic. Czech regional cuisine is far more like that in the mountain ranges.
Cesi maju super kacicu na pive se zelim a knedliky :) mnam
No
i think the heavy end of the food went both ways... we just got alternatives of any other food that the "other ones" do
To, že se na mapě nakreslila nějaká čára, neznamená, že jsme se rozdělili...
really love the face expression whne talking about Czechs not being friendly and just dont give a thing :D Such a disappointment ;)
British.. Moved full time to the High Tatra's two years ago. I love it here.
Welcome
@@stanislavbandur7355 Dakujem 🙏🏻🇸🇰❤️
We as Czechs got to keep our stats of Ice Hockey Championships. Slovaks had to battle their way from lower divisions up to elite teams.
One thing to mention yet! After the split Slovak army have received supersonic Mig 29s, while for Czech army remained only Mig 21s. In 1993 Mig 29 was quite a hi-tech stuff.
Ty asi nebudeš silný ani v nedávných dějinách...že...my svoje 29 vyměnili do Polska za vrtulníky Sokol s tím že idioti v naší vládě snili o koupení západních strojů...ovšem to snění trvalo přes deset let...
I as Polish must say you told the truth.
Finally you are getting into the nitty gritty. It is hard to progress from valley to here. Hats down to your persistance. By the way Zlatý Bažant beats them all.
my Slováci sme si mali dať trojvršie na Československú vlajku a nie na Ruskú
Rusi majú našu vlajku s odlepeným znakom...
Jako Čechomoravákovi by mi to vůbec nevadilo, myslím, že by to vypadalo docela hezky a navíc by to symbolizovalo společnou minulost.
Slovensko má tu vlajku od 1. března 1990, Rusko až od 22. srpna 1991. (České názvy měsíců jako rébus.)
Nema. Slovaci pouzivali trikoloru uz v 1848.
@@breznik1197 Březen je marec. A srpen je august. Ak sa nemýlim...
How much is Slovakia wine country? Just last week some of the Slovak winemakers said that they are in troubles because this year wasn't enough freeze which means that they can't make some of the special wines which is made, you quess, from wine that has to be on plant till real freeze strike, which gives it special taste. Till now i didn't know we harvest wine even in January.
The national anthem was not one song split in 2 halves. It was a natural division of 2 songs that had been artificially put together in the first place to create an anthem for 2 nations 😉 So no drama.
Kapusta není kapusta, je to zelí. A co moravské víno?
I am sure that what you said about the red white and blue flags is based on perception of historical facts. The USA flag is also plus in Europe: UK, France, Croatia, Iceland, Netherlands, Norway, Luxembourgh with light blue, Slovenia.
I remember once seeing in a snobby British movie or TV show that the man would never go to any country that had green in its flag. That always struck be a one of the strangest comments a person make. Since then I have paid attention to flag color.
Košile je shick. Děkuji za video.
a split even JCVD would be proud of
Malé upřesnění: Slovensko si svou vlajku nestanovilo až se zánikem federace, ale už jako členská republika federace, k 1. březnu 1990. Češi si tehdy z povinnosti zvolili také svoji českou vlajku, červenobílou bikolóru, ale nikdo ji neznal a nikdo ji nepoužíval - ona totiž vypadala skoro stejně jako polská, snad jen ten odstín červené prý byl malinko jiný. Dokonce ani u volebních místností, kde podle zákona měla viset, jsem ji tehdy nikde neviděl.
Ve volebních místnostech visela. A není to o tom, že by jí nikdo neznal, tohle byla historická česká vlajka po staletí, na starých obrazech, pokud je třeba zobrazen královský průvod a nebo revoluce 1848, je vidět.
Jinak Slováci tu svou vlajku už taky používali dřív, vytvořili ji už 1848.
@@xsc1000 V červnu 1990 jsem jako předseda okrskové volební komise dával do zápisu, že česká vlajka navzdory zákonu chyběla. A neviděl jsem ji v té době prakticky nikde. Nikdo ji neměl, nikdo ji nepoužíval, až na naprosté výjimky.
👍Pekne si to povedala Jen, ale zabudla si povedať, že Slováci majú viacej značiek piva, ako len Zlatý bažant, ktorý mi chutí viac, ako české pivá. Napríklad: Smädný mních, Topvar, Bratislavský ležiak, Šarišský ležiak, Martinský ležiak, Ilavský ležiak, Urpínsky ležiak...😉
I think that Czech republic is more open for nurse
I'm an American soldier in slovakia (stationed in barvaria since 2022 but been here 6 months). I work with czech and german soldiers here. I ask Czechs if they ever want to unite with slovakia, just anecdotal but they all say no to me. I believe slovakia is the most pro Russian country in the EU and NATO. They been telling us American military might be kicked out at any time (which works for me, I rather be home in germany). Have never been to Czech rep. But people seem similiar to Germans. Although I am way more comfortable speaking to Germans since they are used to Americans and know a lot about America. The czech that are friendly are very friendly and make effort to talk to Americans, while most don't. Very big contrast between the few czech soldiers interested in America and the rest. While I can expect to have fairly complex conversations with Germans, except the few friendly Czechs, both us and Germans don't talk to them outside necessary work conversations.
I live in an old soviet barracks outside a town called zvolen. It's fairly modern and very beautiful. But I wouldn't say the people are particularly friendly. Unlike in germany I don't expect them to speak English so I have not approached any strangers that's not a store employee. Slovak food at least in the barracks is always a meat dunked in a soup and spongy bread or white rice on the side or picked beets.
Zvolen is quite off hand, but with car you can visit any corner, because it is more or less in the middle (of nowhere). Outside from Sliač Base(I guess you were there) you can visit baths (Sliač, Kováčová) and there you can get some local meal (If they are not so in in pizze and gordon blue, I hope that overflow of fancy foreign meals dropped a decade ago already). Small towns are not abundant on English speekers, bath resorts should to do better. We are cmplaining like Czechs, We are in drinks like Czech and same as Czechs we are not so car centered. It is worth to visit us, our nature, from mountains through the hills to lakes and lowlands, from pure natural mineral water through high quality vines and beer to high "octane" liqueurs, from villages through chateaus to fortresses/castles - here is a lot of to see.
Drahá Jane, rybizak je velmi oblíbené víno i v Čechách, nejen co do pití, ale i do výroby. Jsem že severních Čech a i zde známe a čile praktikujeme výrobu rybizaku z přebytečné úrody rybízu, koneckonců na víno umíme přeměnit nejedno ovoce... rybíz, višně, švestky.. a z čeho nejde víno, jde pálenka..
A kto nie? čo má cukor, človek vypáli - existuje aj javorovica (Maple liquor)
wine? I except hard liquor...we can make it from everything - jablkovica(apple), marhuľovica(apricot), slivovica(plum), hruškovica(pear), barackovica(peach), drienkovica(bunchberry), hafiérovica(blueberry), ribezľovica(currant), orechovica(walnut), dulovica or bižalmovica(it´s from quince, but we have two words for it bižalma mostly in east and south and dula in north and west) and I also have šípkovica(rose hip)
A čo tak kýblovica?
Hi there guys , first of all I would like to say , that I really like your videos , but I have few things to clarify here ! The first there never has been Czechoslovak state before 1918(artificial creation)the map of Czech lands were more or less unchanged for centuries so it was pretty clear what land belongs to Czechia and what lands belongs to to Slovakia (no need for dispute there ) the same goes for national symbols and national anthem ! Concerning the national assets and industry , in Slovakia at time was nearly Nothing except the western part and even then it really wasn’t much there either ! Slovaks had have fields and that’s about it ! We have owned all the assets all infrastructure and all educational institutions (80 to 90 %) ! So clearly from economic perspective only, this marriage has been disastrous for Czechs (imagine loosing half of your gdp etc .. overnight ) while it has been extremely advantageous for Slovakia ! Socially this also put additional constraints and fear into German speaking Czechs (who were very important for the Czech economy)!! So while I love the Slovaks ( My auntie lives there and now it is a citizen) just as all other neighbours, I don’t think there has been anything to dispute whatsoever ,they were already walking away with much more than they had to begin with with !🇦🇹🇨🇿🇸🇰🇩🇪🇵🇱🩵🤍♥️🧡
Ahoj Jen... The very bad outcome was, that Czechs stayed in the group A in Icehockey World Championship, but Slovaks were put in C group and had to fight their way up to A group... (I am Slovak living in CZ for most of my life, BTW...)
Slovakia hockey federation was new subject and had to start from bottom. Czech kingdom was one of the founding members of IIHF(LIHG) on 1908. So we logically continued as successors in group a.
