but though he's not a Polish native speaker, he can't even begin to imagine how Ukrainina must appear to a Pole:-)
Vlad may be Romanian, actually, judging by his given name!

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".

What then IS your native tongue, Vlad? Come on and stop being so cagey, will you? It obviously isn't English, so where's the problem?

I didn't really understand your reply, I'm sorry! As far as I know about the relationship between Ukrainian, Polish and Russian, the first is close to the latter in pronunciation, yet closer to the second in terms of certain key vocabulary and some grammar:-) Russian and Ukrainian also numerous 'false friends', or deceptive cognates, much like Polish and Russian etc...

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.

You are very wrong.

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.
Lyzko

Wolodija/Vlad, if you prefer, Polish "pokój" can mean "peace" as well as "room", depending on the context. Russian "pukAT" means "to fart" vs. Polish "PUkać" meaning (innocently enough!) "to knock on the door":-)

Many contemporary Russian words are either non-existant in modern Polish or confined to older language such as OP "wremię" for "time", long since replaced by "czas"!

Sorry, folks! I meant to type in "wręmie"
LOL

I do not see a lot of sense to count all the "falce friends".I has no point to me.
Lyzko
27 Mar 2013 #99
Perhaps you missunderstood my meaning, Vlad! I wasn't aiming to "count" all of the false friends between our respective languages, merely to mention that they exist as well as what they are:-)

You wasted your time cause you made so many mistakes that makes it useless

.... oh you will obviously ask me for example, so I give you one:

Earth - Zemja - Zemlja

I have new file with comparison between Polish and Russian words.Now everithing is in Polish alphabet.Take plesure to read it.
So, which languages do you believe have more cognates than Polish and Ukrainian?

Polish and Slovakian for instance.

I wanted to include Czech words in file for comparison as well,but I'm affraid it will be instantly banned in this forum.
I will try to include Slovak words but if they are going to close the theme they could just warn me before it will happen.

I have question regarding pronounciation of Polish C letter.In wikipedia it is writen it sounds like English "ts".But in some
words such as Cieplo,Ciasto,Cichy when a word starts from this letter it sounds in Google translater more similar to Russian "T".

Or maybe it just seems to me?

Hey!!! We are not THAT mean :) Include Czech if you want :) And if it will be to much off- topc I will change the title and you'll be all good :)

I find it superficially more 'familiar' to read Czech coming from Polish, yet hearing Czech spoken is something else entirely:-) Russian is often completely foreign to Polish ears, though somehow recognizable as a relative belonging to the same family unitLOL As far as other Slavic languages, I wouldn't begin to assume I could even pick up a simple newspaper article in Slovene, Croatian, Bulgarian or Slovak and pretend to understand much of anything! I'd be nothing more than sifting through the sands of strangeness, looking for friends I recognize.

From what I know Slovak is closer (at least in pronounciation to Ukrainian/Russian) than to Polish.
If I no make mistake it totally lacks such Polish sounds as ł,ę,ą,ę,ś,ó.What is a serious difference already.
For example:

English - Polish - Slovak - Russian

White - Biały - Biely - Bielyj
Wife - żona - żena - žena
Sand - Piasek - Piesok - Piesok
Wind - Wiatr - Vietor - Vieter
Court - Sąd - Súd - Sud
Yard - Podwórze - Dvor - Dvor

English - Polish - Slovak - Ukrainian

Sword - Miecz - Meè - Meè
Glass - Szkło - Sklo - Sklo
Crime - Przestępstwo - Zloèin - Zloèin
Beauty - Piękność - Krása - Krasa
Will be - Będzie - Bude - Bude
Banner - Transparent - Prápor - Prápor
Times - Czasy - Doba - Doba
Straw Roof - Dach - Strecha - Stricha

If you could provide lots of oposite examples I'm all attention.

I have question regarding pronounciation of Polish C letter.

Polish "c" is pronounced like German "z", for example in the word "zwei".

The exeptions are if there are latters: "h","i", and "z" after "c". In the first case the "c" is silent and "ci" and "cz" are diffrent from eachother but both similar to English "ch". Also worth mentioning that "ć" is a diffrent sound to "c".

Polish "c" is pronounced like German "z", for example in the word "zwei".

Defenetely it's good thing to compare Polish with German as languages which
belong to the same family.Unfortunately I do not have Mongol dictionary with me to make
proper analysis of Russian and Ukrainian and therefore continue to compare them with
other Slavic languages.

Defenetely it's good thing to compare Polish with German as languages which
belong to the same family.Unfortunately I do not have Mongol dictionary with me to make
proper analysis of Russian and Ukrainian and therefore continue to compare them with
other Slavic languages.

Vlad really? I mean really? why are you getting so upset?

German is the only one language I know that has Polish "c" sound.
It's not my fault that Germany has been boardering with Poland for long centuries and effected us a little bit.
I really wish that Polish "c" sound was also in Russian and Ukrainian language, would definitely make you feel better...

Vlad, by "the same family", I presume you're referring here to Indo-European as a whole, since, as you know, German belongs to the Germanic and not the Slavic branch:-)

Figured you already knew thatLOL

In another Slavic language, "Chvala!" means "Thank you!". I believe it's Croatian ^^
Polysemenes within related languages are intriguing, aren't they?

yes its in Croatian, the language sometimes sounds like Czech and does not have the eastern Slavic melody which makes it easier to understand...

Forgive my misspelling. Of course, "Hvala!", just like "Horvat" not "CHorvat" etc..
Stupid error from a linguist of all peopleLOL

Thanks:-)

According to mind of Polish ethnographist and historian Franciszek Henryk Duchiński who was born in Polish-Ukrainian family,
Moskals or welikoroses (Russians) do not belong to either Slavic or even "Arian" tribe of humans.And constitute (on pair with Mongols)
part of some mythical "Turanian" branch of people.Their language is just corrupted Church-Slavonic language and originally wasn't even
Slavic.Russians spoke some Turanian language and borrowed some Slavic words.Turanian people are incapable of any democratic type of government,individual values or town-planning.

The natural division between Slavic and non-Slavic worlds according to him is Dniper and Dvina rivers and rivers of Finland.
He believed in messian role of Polish state and thought it is needed to recreate the Great Polish state which would also include parts of

Ukraine and Belarus.

It doesn't say much. They just wrote that without nothing else to back it up. I don't think that is a valid information.
