Slavic languages words similarities with Polish

Trees in Slavic languages have gender for a certain.And willow as you guessed it correct is of femenine gender.
Dub and Kl'on in Russian are on contrary masculine.
Genders are present in other European languages as well.French is one more example.German has three genders
as well.So English is rather exception.Six cases?Possibly.But Polish and Ukrainian have seven.

Sweet Jesus! he was only joking about the trees because you spelled it wrong, you understand Martini?

Exactly, Volodya/Vlad!

People here often write English phonetically as they hear it pronounced by other non-native English speakers, no prob whatsoever, dude:-)

Dear moderator: BACK OFF and FVCK OFF have completely different connotations, I'd rather you chucked my post into the bin instead of modifying it. BACK-OFF implies some sort of exclusivity to this thread on my part where I have none. I just wanted him to fvck off - a perfectly reasonable request under the circumstances. However it appears that Lyzko's polyglot passion works much better to all kinds of other effects... smoothing the waves and giving me to time to figure out how to make Vlad fvck off.

I will be happy to edit your post if you'd tell me to what I should change the back off/

What a difference does it make in the general order of things?

It's imortant to know for a people where their roots stem from.And not to be ignorant.

Roots and a language could be two different things. Also even if tribes 2000 years were close knitted they went their own ways and developed for the most part their own distinctive culture.

Those who failed to do so and have developed partial not complete culture are seeking for some mythical roots in their language.

so far you are the one who is ignorant here

Which exactly tribes do you mean?If you talk about Slavic tribes there was no any mention of them before 6-th century AD.And based on language proximity and other data I think that predecessors of modern Poles and modern Ukrainians completely separated no more then 1200 years ago.What is not terribly long term.But even after that significant parts of Ukraine were under Polish rule for 500 years, there was lot of intermixing,cultural exchange,etc.

Distinct culture is a good thing.When people develope their distinct cultures it allows to make cultural exchange later and benefit each other.
Many Poles claim that they admire with some Russian writers,composers.And contra.

leave the thinking to the scientists.

I agree, Ironside! What a difference it makes to know a little more than we did before ^^
LOL

Oh, I'm sorry there fella:-) Did I miss your meaning again, stupid me??

"What difference does it make..." without "a" he-he (chuckle) BIG difference in your sentence!!

Guess the difference between a mistake and a mere slip's that a mistake is merely a typo that's overstayed it's welcome (...quoting Mark Twain)

Thanks for the kudos, Flagless!
Wasn't trying though to get you to "make Vlad f****k off", merely to show that mispronunciation often filters through into our writing, that's all:-)

What is correct name for Ash-tree in Polish? Jasień is central or sub-dialectic?

If you're interested in the similarities among the Slavic languages then you owe it to yourself to check out
slovio.com

If this project is designed to bring Slavic nations closer, that's good. But honestly, I do not think that inventing even more Slavic languages is good idea.

I think it would be better to either study English and use it as lang. of international communication, or slowly reform Slavic languages making them reasonably closer to each other and easier to pronounce.

Why don't you also add Russian? That'd show in which cases Ukrainian is closer to Russian or Polish.

this is one of the dumbest things I have heard in a long time

??? I provided comparison of Polish to Russian mostly. Ukrainian is still unstable language. Different redactions of this language make
it less or more similar to Russian constantly. For example I always thought that "thank you" in Ukrainian is "d'akuju" while Google translator

gives "spasybo" as main variant and closer to Russian. And many other examples. I'm a bit frustrated.

Both Polish "dziękować" and Ukrainian "d'jakuvit" derive from the German "danken":-) The Russian "spasibo" (Blessing to G_d, literally) is of pure Slavic origin! The Slovene "beseda" (word) has an equivalent word of like sound and pronunciation in Russian, but a DIFFERENT meaning. The Russian word for "word" is, of course, "slovo" ^^

Could be, but I've read there is also version that this word could have general Indo-European history.
Especially if we take in account how widely used similar words.
Dutch «dank», English «thank», Scandinavian «tak», «takk»), Czech «děkuji», Polish «dziękuję», Slovak «ïakujem», Belorussian «дзякуй».
In Ukrainian there is no word "d'akuvit". Interjection - "d'akuju", verb (general form) - "d'akuvaty".
Actually there is many words similar between Slavic and Germanic languages which could have common Indo-European origin. Even between
Russian and English.

Isn't the literal meaning 'may God save you'? (spasi Bog). That's similar to our Polish 'Bóg zapłać (may God repay you).

Yes, you're correct! I kept puzzling out that one after I sent the last post:-)
Apropos, Czech "Chvala!" is probably related to Polish "chwalić"
:-)

That's not Czech ;-)

Croatian then:-)

Apologies, Madźiu ^^

Not BCMS too ;) Hvala is the word you're looking for :)

Wonder where Hvala comes from, though?

From Proto-Slavic *xvala.
en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%D1%85%D0%B2%D0%B0%D0%BB%D0%B0
Bulgarian: хвала
Russian: хвала
Serbo-Croatian: hvala

Interesting etymology :-)

Once again, right church, wrong pewLOL

It may be related to Polish CHYwalić, resp. "POchywalić", indicating "inclining toward(s)", as a sign of deep respect, e.g. the Polish expression "Pochywalony" meaning roughly, "Your servant" or the like, a response of religious piety by the person who replies using this word:-)

I could be wrong, but my linguistic forrays do on occasion lead me to discover some gems.

Many thanks, Magdalena!

Sorry, completely wrong on this one. You've messed up pochwalić, pochwalony (verb "to praise", adj. "praised") with pochylać, pochylony (verb "to stoop, to bend over smth.", adj. "stooping", "leaning"). There is absolutely no connection between those words.

BTW, "pochwalony" does not mean "your servant", it means "praise (the Lord)" - the full phrase is "niech będzie pochwalony Jezus Chrystus" to which the correct response would be "na wieki wieków".

I goofed because I confused two separate verbs with two aspectual forms of the same verb, which turned out to simply be my glitch, that's all:-)

Thank you once again!
