Language / Polish/Ukrainian words similarities [209]

Some of those falce friends they listed are not completelly corect.For example "doctor" is used in Russian in meaning of doctor of science too,not only in Polish."Pokoj" could be used in Russian in meaning of room or house interior too,not only in Polish, etc.

But the actors are saying in the clip couple of words in Polish.If they managed to know Polish words why
they have no clue about true Polish accent?And why would they represent Polish accent as Russian or Ukrainian?
If everyone knows Polish speak with German or Austrian accent?

Language / Polish/Ukrainian words similarities [209]


I already revealed it in this forum.This is Russian and Ukrainian.


False friends are not as numerous between Russian and Ukrainian.And hardly more between Polish and Russian.
The examples I could remember are "chas" which stands for "time" in both Polish and Ukrainian and "hour" in Russian.And

"tak" which stands for "yes" in Polish and Ukrainian and "so" in Russian.

Another example is zdan'e (zdanie) which stands for "sentence" in Polish and "building" in Russ.But thay do not sound exactly the same.In Polish it sound rather like "zdan'e",without long "i" vocal.

If I would be a Romanian, why would I care about Ukraine?Do you think I would?And how Ukraine appear to a Pole?
2)Did Poles and Eastern Slavs had common "gods" from the beginning?For example in Poland there was some "Peroin", while in Kievan Rus

before it accepted Cristianity was "Perun".

Probably it should look more like Zemia - Zeml'a?
But anyway you may not look on how Polish words are writing,look only at Russian part.

I provided comparison of Polish with Russian only because many Poles believe that Ukrainians are nomadic tribes and just borrowed some
Polish words in their Tatar language.Since Russian obviously was less influenced by Polish, comparison between cognates is more revealing than between borrowed words.Ukrainian would be more correct to compare with Czech rather than with Polish.To reduce number of directly borrowed words.But I hope you will understand that not all similarities between Ukrainian and Polish are borrowed.Even so Ukrainian developed its own way of spelling and pronounciation,it could hardly be that Russian is originally closer to Polish than Ukrainan.

I created a new file with comparison between Western and Eastern Slavic languages.There is comparison between Czech and Ukrainian words at the end.Letter "kh" in transcription stands for "ch" in "chutor" or "kh" in Kazakhstan. (') stands for a soft conosont.
