In Polish, "sklepienie" is "a vault" (= an arched architectural structure enclosing the inner space of a building from above - Russian "свод"; by asociation an upper part of the closed space/cave seen from below) but "an underground vault" (= crypt) is "krypta".
in Czech, sklep is a basement or cellar under your house 🙂 when it's bigger and more historical (like under castle), it's sklepení. For crypt we would probably say hrobka or krypta

Just to clarify something with the first example, we have all of those words in Russian too: Droog ( друг ) = a friend, Priyatel ( приятель ) = mate, Znakomiy ( знакомый ) = someone that you know, Kompanion ( компаньон ) = a companion . Also "me learning" the "sia" ending is the same in Russian except is that it's part of a word itself that stands at the end of a word: uchit' ( учить ) - to learn, uchitsia ( учиться ) = self of learning.
4:46 In Polish we also say "Kompan" which is very similar to Dutch and also "Druh" which is similar to Russian and Serbian ;) So the complete list in Polish would be "Przyjaciel", "Znajomy", "Kompan", "Druh" :)
as someone learning czech, polish is often the one i understand the most, like animal zvire (with the letters i dont have on my keyboard). But then they go saying "Shånska"(swedish spelling of how it sounds like) for book instead of kniha
In fact there are some very famous Slavic words which are used basically in all (and not only) Germanic languages - "robot" and "pistol". Robot came from the Czech word "robota" - to work, and pistol came from the Czech word "píšťala" - a flute, which actually symbolizes the fluted shape of the barrel. And there is also another word, which is used mainly in Austrian German - "kolatsche" which is taken from the Czech/Slovak "koláč" - a round cake/pie.
Next to Frisian, Dutch is considered the closest language to English. So, while they diverged sharply, it is not surprising that they may still have similar sounds. As an American, I can sometimes fool myself into thinking that I can almost understand a little bit of spoken Dutch for a few brief moments.
There is a video that shows how similar the Germanic languages are to each other with more basic conversation - ruclips.net/video/ryVG5LHRMJ4/видео.html

sister and brother - sestra i brat in Croatian, but very similar in other Slavic languages One can notice that -r was lost in brat, but not in sestra. This happened relatively recently because there is a version "bratr" in Old Church Slavonic, the oldest written South Slavic language.

About Volga Germans. Under Catherine II, 30,000 Germans were resettled on the Volga River starting in 1763. According to statistics, they had an average of 7 children, and until 1917 they were eligible for exemption from military service. In the first 3 winters, half of the Germans died of cold, leaving no offspring. We believe that one generation is 20-30(25) years old, approximately 10(12) generations. Let two parents have 4 children (2 boys and 2 girls), 15,000: 1 generation 30,000 - 60,000 - 120,000 - 240,000 - 480,000 - 1 million - 2 million - 4 million - 8 million - 16 million tenth generation. The mass departure of Germans from Russia to South and North America occurred after Nicholas II abolished armor from the army on the eve of the First World War, mass deaths during the revolution of 1917 and during the Civil War of 1918-22, mass deaths during Stalin's repressions and deportations, during World War II, emigration of Russian Germans to Germany after the collapse of the USSR. Of the 16 million, even if half died or left Russia (USSR), 8 million remain (Some demographers speak of 16 and even 32 million Russians who have German genes) Where are they? They assimilated...They have already become Russians, Tatars, Ukrainians. PS: Currently, 2 million descendants of Volga Germans live in Argentina alone. Volga Russians(60 mln).

15:51 - the Serbian word for "to live" is very similar to the Sanskrit word for the same. In modern Indian languages (in the north, which descend from Sanskrit), life is "jeevan". Of course, life is such a basic word that it has likely remained quite close to the the ancient proto Indo-European - so much that languages that seem so different (Serbian and Hindi) have essentially the same word! (Slavic and North Indian languages are part of the Indo-European family, as are the Germanic and Latin languages.)
It's the same in all Slavic languages. I can speak for the Russian though. Zhit' is a short form "to live" but it's full form has the "zhiv" root. "Zhivoi"/"Zhivaya"/"Zhivoe" - alive. Zhizn' - life. Zhivitelnij - something that brings life. Zhivotnoe/ Zhivnost' - live creature. Zhivot - used to mean "life" like 200 years ago, but in modern Russian just means a stomach. I love Sanskrit but I'm pretty sure all Slavic languages share this similarity because of the same origin so it's not just Polish.
German is not a mandatory 2nd foreign language in Poland, if school is enough funded and not located in rural area you can almost always choose between multiple foreign languages.
Yeah my village had a German teacher so no choice. My high school had both German and Spanish teachers so we could choose. I think it is better to learn German as a Polish person though. You can't really learn it by yourself as you can learn Spanish, and it's much more useful considering we're neigbours and Germany is the biggest economy in europe
@@technouber How old are you? Because now Russian is banned from schools in Poland My grandma was forced to learn Russian in school when she was a child (she’s from Łódź btw) and my mom and other relatives like uncles, aunts, cousins were all forced to learn German (some are from Łódź too and some of them including my mom are from Sulęcin, it’s a small town idk if you know it)

@Lena-lm1nm самая крикливая - это не значит, что самая умная. В других видео была самая крикливая полька, полячка. Только другая, не та, которая в этом видео.
In Romanian we say prieten (friend), vreme (weather), avion (plane), citi (read). Învăța (learn) is different but we have uceninc (apprentice). Definitely many Slavic/Balkan influences.
Lol, in Serbia we say prijatelj for a friend, vreme is the same but it's both for weather and time, same for avion (HOW?), Romanian is interesting to me, this year I plan to visit a friend in Bucharest and I need to learn some basic Romanian before I go.
Missed opportunity with polish - for many of the words in this episodes we got a word that is very similar to german one - eg friend - kumpel/kompan or vacation - urlop. Big chunk chunk of polish vocabulary connected with accounting, cities and trade come from german
10:52 It says “come” on top of the screen, but I noticed the German girl said “lesen,” so I’m pretty sure this was supposed to mean “to read.” I’m Indonesian but currently learning German. And let me tell you, I once tried learning Polish but gave up after one Duolingo lesson. ONE. 😂
Feels like Dutch is exactly the middle ground between German and US-English. They say US-English pronunciation is the conserved Shakespeare period UK-English, but I'm statrting to suspect there was just a massive Hollandian presence at some early point in the history of USA. Maybe East India Company could enlighten us about that. And the other Germanic languages are just sideways from that line.
My favorite German expression that appears as a single word in Polish is "wichajster" - a word describing "something you don't know exactly what it is" - comes from the German "wie heist er". It sounds +/- the same as the German expression, but is pronounced as a single word.
Interestingly, in the Russian language at the time of Alexander Pushkin, there was a word formed from the German expression "Was ist das?". "Vasisdas" meant the window or the upper part of the door through which the baker talked to customers and sold bread. This was sometimes jokingly called the Germans themselves. This is due to the large number of Germans in Russia at that time, including those engaged in handicrafts and trade.
Много приято, забавно и интересно решение да направите тези видеа! Very interesting and pleased decision to make such a funny videos. Great. And all of the participants are wonderful and very beautiful.
It's a personal preference, but Southern German sounds more pleasing to the ear for me. Vor allem Bairisch (for obvious reasons) und Schwäbisch Deutsch. Jessi does a great job in these videos. I was surprised at how different Danish and Swedish were from German and Dutch.
I'm amazed by how serbian sounds like spanish and portuguese, like the pronuciation of 'avion' and 'fabrica' sounds spanish but the way she pronouces animal sounds portuguese
In Polish, for "vacation", it depends on the phase of life and year... If you work it's "urlop", if it's in summer: "wakacje", if it's in winter: "ferie".
Also 'wczasy' in general when it is to do with arranged vacation outside your domicile. 'Letnisko' or regional 'latowisko' / 'letowisko' when it takes place during summer. And (usually in summer) you send children to 'kolonia' which is vacation for children arranged and run by some organisation. In some rare cases you use 'wypoczynek' (literally, rest) instead of 'urlop'. "Gdzie byliście na wypoczynku?" (Where have you been on your vacation?)
In Serbian airplane is "авион / avion" but we have words "ваздухоплов / vazduhoplov" and "летелица / letelica" which are more used as aircraft. Factory is "фабрика / fabrika" but we have more words depending on the type like "(производни) погон / (proizvodni) pogon", "творница / tvornica", "завод / zavod" (The word "завод / zavod" in the Serbian language has several meanings, it is most often used in the following contexts: institution or organization; production facility or plant; education or specialization). Come is "доћи / doći" but we have "прићи / prići" as well which means to approach, to get closer, come closer.
3:30 This is a good example how some languages are more kept and organized, and others are not. Serbian girl Draga says they use prijatelj and drug as words for friend. Colloquially they use much more drug, and prijatelj rarely. Prijatelj and drug are in Croatian totally different words. Prijatelj is a word just like English friend, a friendly person in personal relations and connections. Drug is a word reserved for a formal relations, it can be used in a political context (like comrade in English), business (drug - business or work companion, dioničko društvo - joint stock company, družina or družba - fellowship, band or similar).
In Czech, přítel is more like boyfriend, you don't use it in everyday langauge, but it's used in meaning of friend in books and official language. Normal everyday word for friend would be kamarád. Druh can be like druh ve zbrani (your companion in war or something) or someone who is traveling with you, but that can be even společník. Word soudruh (comrade) is not used anymore, that was just communist thing.
@@Pidalin ''приятел'' (prijatel) in Bulgarian can mean friend and boyfriend depends of the context same for ''приятелка'' (prijatelka). ''Друг'' (Drug) means ''other'' but it used to mean buddy which later became ''другар'' (drugar) and ''другарка'' (drugarka). ''Камарад'' (Kamarad) also exists as comrade but we use more often ''другар'' (drugar).
As far as i know in official relations in work the word is "Kolega" and someone you know is "Poznanik" but he does not need to be frend to be "Poznanik"
@@Pidalin, the word "friend" ("drug", "podruga" - female) in Russian often causes controversy about whether a real friend or a fake one. There are many sayings about friendship and friends. They say that there are never many real friends, that friends are known in trouble. Therefore, it is easier for people to say "familiar" ("znakomyj"), "buddy" ("priyatel'"), "comrade" ("tovarishch"). The latter one is not mentioned very often, as it is considered a bit out of date, dating back to the Soviet era. But if you are sure of a relationship with this person, you always say "friend" ("drug"). Boyfriend is also "drug", "priyatel'". Girlfriend is "podruga".

@Borys77-mr6sz Plot-twist: Germans are not a pure nation like some mustache guy was claiming in 1939. They are a mix of Slavs, Celts and Scandinavians. Germany itself is a very young country. ;)
Poland suffices, it's the biggest west Slavic country, just as Russia is the biggest east Slavic country and Bulgaria is the biggest south Slavic country. And Serbia was (is?) the king of the south Slavs, so it all makes sense.
The Russian girl would make a good partisan - do not share extra information, do not participate in the discussion Most of Russians have an extreme amount of shyness around languages - my accent is not perfect, I will make mistakes, people will not understand what I say. While a Spaniard or a Italian will try to communicate with you in English using sounds, gestures, some French that neither of you really know, a Russian will sit thinking how to make a perfect sentence until it's too late to say it anyway
16:16 Polish girl didn't translate "I will buy some bread from the store", she said "pójdę do sklepu, żeby kupić chleb" which means "I will go to the store [in order] to buy [some] bread". The subtitles say "I will go to the store for some bread". The correct translation should be "Kupię trochę chleba w sklepie."
не на сто процентов. например plant они используют для электростанции, а в русском электростанция даже в самом экзотическом случае не может быть заводом. а еще завод - процесс перед началом действия механизма.

Learn in Russian is “Учиться“ (uchitsya) not “учить“ (uchit’)(to teach), because the end “ся“ (sya) its a reflexive end and it means “to yourself” or “by yourself”. Like “se” in Spanish
That's the same in Polish: uczyć is to teach, uczyć się is to learn (basically to "teach yourself") In Croatian and Serbian, it's učiti in both cases (I guess like in Swedish?) and you have to hear in context to know whether it's talking about learning or teaching.
@@V3G4N01он прав, потому что learn - именно учиться, если и переводится как "учить", то надо уточнять, что ты учишь себя, а не кого-то. Потому что если учишь кого-то, то это to teach
Very interesting video - thank you! Jeg kan tale fire af sprogene, И на самом деле я мог понять всё, что сказали остальные четверо. Men russisk är också grunden för många av de slaviska språken Und manchmal klingt der hölzerne Ursprung der slawischen Wörter wie wirklich alte russische Wörter

17:05 In Russian "sklep" is a "crypt" (on a graveyard) :)
Можно ещё маленькое, невысокое, темное, желательно мрачное, помещение так назвать. Но пошло от кладбищенского склепа , разумеется
In Polish, "sklepienie" is "a vault" (= an arched architectural structure enclosing the inner space of a building from above - Russian "свод"; by asociation an upper part of the closed space/cave seen from below) but "an underground vault" (= crypt) is "krypta".
It's original meaning is a "store" that's why it means both a shop and a grave.
in Czech, sklep is a basement or cellar under your house 🙂 when it's bigger and more historical (like under castle), it's sklepení. For crypt we would probably say hrobka or krypta
In Bulgarian ''sklep'' is a tomb.

Now that video was very informative. About the "kino" word - it comes form the greek "kinema"(motion). Cinema is another form of the same greek word.
« Cinema » vient de France, où le mot « cinématographe » a été inventé par Léon Bouly à partir de deux mots grecs.
Et puisqu’on est dans le cinéma, « film » vient de l’anglais. :)

So interesting that the words "cinema" and "kinetic" are derived from the same root word
"Film" is from Latin "filum". Only its use as photographic film that is from English.

15:51 - the Serbian word for "to live" is very similar to the Sanskrit word for the same. In modern Indian languages (in the north, which descend from Sanskrit), life is "jeevan".
Of course, life is such a basic word that it has likely remained quite close to the the ancient proto Indo-European - so much that languages that seem so different (Serbian and Hindi) have essentially the same word! (Slavic and North Indian languages are part of the Indo-European family, as are the Germanic and Latin languages.)
Super interesting, countries so far away from each other but still have some similarities, just like Hungarian and Japanese grammar.
Of course, the common roots of Sanskrit, the Slavic languages and Balto-Slavic languages are still very visible.
It's the same in all Slavic languages. I can speak for the Russian though. Zhit' is a short form "to live" but it's full form has the "zhiv" root. "Zhivoi"/"Zhivaya"/"Zhivoe" - alive. Zhizn' - life. Zhivitelnij - something that brings life. Zhivotnoe/ Zhivnost' - live creature. Zhivot - used to mean "life" like 200 years ago, but in modern Russian just means a stomach.
I love Sanskrit but I'm pretty sure all Slavic languages share this similarity because of the same origin so it's not just Polish.
Ya slavic and Sanskrit have just a bit similar root words
Yes, I think it's one of those words which were the first clues for a the Indo-European language family.
Another is tooth - which is "daant" in Hindi.
German is not a mandatory 2nd foreign language in Poland, if school is enough funded and not located in rural area you can almost always choose between multiple foreign languages.
Yeah my village had a German teacher so no choice. My high school had both German and Spanish teachers so we could choose. I think it is better to learn German as a Polish person though. You can't really learn it by yourself as you can learn Spanish, and it's much more useful considering we're neigbours and Germany is the biggest economy in europe
@@askarufus7939 Same for me, in high school I could choose from spanish, french, russian and german.
For me german was my first foreign language and it was mandatory
I was living in middle size city and I haven't had this choice, I needed to learn English and German, it all depends on school I guess
@@technouber
How old are you? Because now Russian is banned from schools in Poland
My grandma was forced to learn Russian in school when she was a child (she’s from Łódź btw) and my mom and other relatives like uncles, aunts, cousins were all forced to learn German (some are from Łódź too and some of them including my mom are from Sulęcin, it’s a small town idk if you know it)
I guess world "Butterbrot" (Sandwich) would be pretty similar for all speakers
Yeah, the same. I thought about that all the time
"Smörgås" in Swedish. Smör = "butter" .... and "gås" ... is goose. I have no idea why. "Smörbröd" (...bread) would be a much more logical word.
Balkan women are gorgeous as evidenced by this video (Iliyana and Draga).
Yes, but this is a Korean channel that recruits models, actors and English teachers for these sorts of videos.
Девушка из Сербии в этом видео не очень красивая, если честно. Самая красивая это датчанка и шведка
@@K_Pppp Not to offend anyone, but I disagree.
@@K_Pppp She is not beautiful, like rest of the Serbian girls. But she is the smartest one. I watched her before she is fluent in Serbian, English, German, she speaks Spanish, French and Italian!!
@Lena-lm1nm самая крикливая - это не значит, что самая умная. В других видео была самая крикливая полька, полячка. Только другая, не та, которая в этом видео.
In Romanian we say prieten (friend), vreme (weather), avion (plane), citi (read). Învăța (learn) is different but we have uceninc (apprentice). Definitely many Slavic/Balkan influences.
Lol, in Serbia we say prijatelj for a friend, vreme is the same but it's both for weather and time, same for avion (HOW?), Romanian is interesting to me, this year I plan to visit a friend in Bucharest and I need to learn some basic Romanian before I go.
Vreme sound almost like время (vremia) and that mean time
Your word for friend is bit different from our in Bulgarian. Yours sound like ''приятен'' (priyaten) - something nice, pleasant.
@@nenadpopov3601 Avion is from French, why you are surprised.
@@nenadpopov3601 In Romanian, we also use it for time and for various time-related concepts or phrases.
Missed opportunity with polish - for many of the words in this episodes we got a word that is very similar to german one - eg friend - kumpel/kompan or vacation - urlop. Big chunk chunk of polish vocabulary connected with accounting, cities and trade come from german
Yes, that's true. This Polish girl may be pretty and charming, but she seems like she's not very bright, unfortunately.
The joy everyone had when "film" was identical ❤️
That's basically an international word like hotel or telephone.
@@Ivan-fm4eh but americans say "movie"
@@moykumir true, but we understand and occasionally use the international word
10:52 It says “come” on top of the screen, but I noticed the German girl said “lesen,” so I’m pretty sure this was supposed to mean “to read.”
I’m Indonesian but currently learning German. And let me tell you, I once tried learning Polish but gave up after one Duolingo lesson. ONE. 😂
All of them said "Reading", it was a editing problem
It does help to know more than one language, when things go haywire, I can just listen to Jessi.
Feels like Dutch is exactly the middle ground between German and US-English. They say US-English pronunciation is the conserved Shakespeare period UK-English, but I'm statrting to suspect there was just a massive Hollandian presence at some early point in the history of USA. Maybe East India Company could enlighten us about that. And the other Germanic languages are just sideways from that line.
Thankfully they all speak English too, so no language barriers at all.
My favorite German expression that appears as a single word in Polish is "wichajster" - a word describing "something you don't know exactly what it is" - comes from the German "wie heist er". It sounds +/- the same as the German expression, but is pronounced as a single word.
Interestingly, in the Russian language at the time of Alexander Pushkin, there was a word formed from the German expression "Was ist das?". "Vasisdas" meant the window or the upper part of the door through which the baker talked to customers and sold bread. This was sometimes jokingly called the Germans themselves.
This is due to the large number of Germans in Russia at that time, including those engaged in handicrafts and trade.
Iliyana is very elegant and charismatic, I was just thinking she could be an actress. After a quick check it turns out she indeed IS an actress haha.
Surprisingly, the word for "buy" seemed to be similar across the 2 language groups. In Bulgarian купя, in Dutch kopen, etc.
Много приято, забавно и интересно решение да направите тези видеа! Very interesting and pleased decision to make such a funny videos. Great. And all of the participants are wonderful and very beautiful.
Als halb Serbin und halb Österreicherin, habe ich dieses Video genossen!❤❤❤
In British English we don't use the word 'Vacation' we say holiday.
It is a real pity that Plattdeutsch was not included in the comparison. It is the bridge to Dutch, English and partly Danish.
My favourite is the Dutch language here. I love the way it sounds.

Draga and Ania...so nice😊
You are amazing guys, Bravo!
In 10:57 the caption is "Come" but it has to be "Read". It confused me til' i heard the German part 'Lesen'
It's a personal preference, but Southern German sounds more pleasing to the ear for me.
Vor allem Bairisch (for obvious reasons) und Schwäbisch Deutsch.
Jessi does a great job in these videos.
I was surprised at how different Danish and Swedish were from German and Dutch.
I'm amazed by how serbian sounds like spanish and portuguese, like the pronuciation of 'avion' and 'fabrica' sounds spanish but the way she pronouces animal sounds portuguese
romance vs slavic telephone game would be funny!
See previous episode - they did it.
@amjan they did germanic vs slavic telephone game, not romance
9:40
Sky in Dutch is "lucht"
"Hemel" means heaven.
In Polish, for "vacation", it depends on the phase of life and year... If you work it's "urlop", if it's in summer: "wakacje", if it's in winter: "ferie".
And what if it's in spring or autumn? 😀 In Czech, we say just dovolená.
Urlop is borrowed from Germans 🤔?
Also 'wczasy' in general when it is to do with arranged vacation outside your domicile. 'Letnisko' or regional 'latowisko' / 'letowisko' when it takes place during summer. And (usually in summer) you send children to 'kolonia' which is vacation for children arranged and run by some organisation.
In some rare cases you use 'wypoczynek' (literally, rest) instead of 'urlop'. "Gdzie byliście na wypoczynku?" (Where have you been on your vacation?)
In Serbian airplane is "авион / avion" but we have words "ваздухоплов / vazduhoplov" and "летелица / letelica" which are more used as aircraft. Factory is "фабрика / fabrika" but we have more words depending on the type like "(производни) погон / (proizvodni) pogon", "творница / tvornica", "завод / zavod" (The word "завод / zavod" in the Serbian language has several meanings, it is most often used in the following contexts: institution or organization; production facility or plant; education or specialization). Come is "доћи / doći" but we have "прићи / prići" as well which means to approach, to get closer, come closer.
You are all great, girls & man :)
so many similarities between russian and polish this time
This is going to be really fun! Love this channel ❤
Was great learning some Swedish as someone living in Sweden.
Is it just me or Slavic girls look better?
It's a matter of taste, although I think so too, but Iliyana is the first star of this show.
3:30 This is a good example how some languages are more kept and organized, and others are not. Serbian girl Draga says they use prijatelj and drug as words for friend. Colloquially they use much more drug, and prijatelj rarely.
Prijatelj and drug are in Croatian totally different words. Prijatelj is a word just like English friend, a friendly person in personal relations and connections.
Drug is a word reserved for a formal relations, it can be used in a political context (like comrade in English), business (drug - business or work companion, dioničko društvo - joint stock company, družina or družba - fellowship, band or similar).
In Czech, přítel is more like boyfriend, you don't use it in everyday langauge, but it's used in meaning of friend in books and official language. Normal everyday word for friend would be kamarád. Druh can be like druh ve zbrani (your companion in war or something) or someone who is traveling with you, but that can be even společník. Word soudruh (comrade) is not used anymore, that was just communist thing.
@@Pidalin ''приятел'' (prijatel) in Bulgarian can mean friend and boyfriend depends of the context same for ''приятелка'' (prijatelka). ''Друг'' (Drug) means ''other'' but it used to mean buddy which later became ''другар'' (drugar) and ''другарка'' (drugarka). ''Камарад'' (Kamarad) also exists as comrade but we use more often ''другар'' (drugar).
As far as i know in official relations in work the word is "Kolega" and someone you know is "Poznanik" but he does not need to be frend to be "Poznanik"
@@Pidalin, the word "friend" ("drug", "podruga" - female) in Russian often causes controversy about whether a real friend or a fake one. There are many sayings about friendship and friends. They say that there are never many real friends, that friends are known in trouble. Therefore, it is easier for people to say "familiar" ("znakomyj"), "buddy" ("priyatel'"), "comrade" ("tovarishch"). The latter one is not mentioned very often, as it is considered a bit out of date, dating back to the Soviet era. But if you are sure of a relationship with this person, you always say "friend" ("drug"). Boyfriend is also "drug", "priyatel'". Girlfriend is "podruga".
The verb To Go is an irregular verb in lots of languages. There must be a reason for this.
камушек - камень - булыжник - скала
камушек - то что может залететь к тебе в обувь
камень - то что помещается тебе в руку
булыжник - то что тебе уже тяжело поднять
скала - то что необъятное
Есть ещё гравель, галька, щебень и так далее. Тут правильное слово именно камень - a rock. Всё остальное можно глубоко в частности уходить.
Ладно, щебень, мы тебя услышали
@@Ya_Tut_Ne_Pri_Chem щебёнка бывает только во множественном числе, так что неподходит.
@@korana6308 это все множественное число..
а я написал в одном числе, как они и говорили про камень
@@zaeboba это единственное число, просто в единственном числе его не привыкли использовать. Это разновидность камней, и это разновидность разных фракций камней. Если вам мелкие камни не угодили, тогда вы не использовали ещё Валун, Монолит... это разновидности больших камней... и наверняка, что то ещё, что мне пока не приходит на ум. Русский язык богат на синонимы, но тут правильное слово, повторюсь, именно "камень". Всё остальное синонимы, и разновидности...

Why aren't there the representants for Slovakia and Czechia? 😭
Prolly because this time it was 4 Slavic nations vs 4 Germanic.
Czechs are half germanic cuz czechs are the most smartest Slavic because they have Germanic DNA.
@Borys77-mr6sz Plot-twist: Germans are not a pure nation like some mustache guy was claiming in 1939. They are a mix of Slavs, Celts and Scandinavians. Germany itself is a very young country. ;)
Poland suffices, it's the biggest west Slavic country, just as Russia is the biggest east Slavic country and Bulgaria is the biggest south Slavic country. And Serbia was (is?) the king of the south Slavs, so it all makes sense.
И с каких это пор немцы считаются умными?😂

The Russian girl would make a good partisan - do not share extra information, do not participate in the discussion
Most of Russians have an extreme amount of shyness around languages - my accent is not perfect, I will make mistakes, people will not understand what I say. While a Spaniard or a Italian will try to communicate with you in English using sounds, gestures, some French that neither of you really know, a Russian will sit thinking how to make a perfect sentence until it's too late to say it anyway
16:16 Polish girl didn't translate "I will buy some bread from the store", she said "pójdę do sklepu, żeby kupić chleb" which means "I will go to the store [in order] to buy [some] bread". The subtitles say "I will go to the store for some bread". The correct translation should be "Kupię trochę chleba w sklepie."

не на сто процентов. например plant они используют для электростанции, а в русском электростанция даже в самом экзотическом случае не может быть заводом. а еще завод - процесс перед началом действия механизма.

Learn in Russian is “Учиться“ (uchitsya) not “учить“ (uchit’)(to teach), because the end “ся“ (sya) its a reflexive end and it means “to yourself” or “by yourself”. Like “se” in Spanish
That's the same in Polish: uczyć is to teach, uczyć się is to learn (basically to "teach yourself")
In Croatian and Serbian, it's učiti in both cases (I guess like in Swedish?) and you have to hear in context to know whether it's talking about learning or teaching.
Так "учить" можно и как learn употреблять.
