Polish/Ukrainian words similarities [209]
What then IS your native tongue, Vlad? Come on and stop being so cagey, will you?
I already revealed it in this forum.This is Russian and Ukrainian.
Russian and Ukrainian also numerous 'false friends', or deceptive cognates, much like Polish and Russian etc...
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.
