polish and ukrainian is close to each other so some words is very similuar to Polish. Like the above of Jellybean "Rozumiyu" in ukrainian....

well, the possibility that the guy was pulling my leg has to be taken into consideration...

Live and learn....

Bump! Any Polish speaking (even if a very little bit) folks on here?

I really love the 70's "moral film" movement (Krzysztof Kieslowski, etcetera), so I've learned a LITTLE Polish from there and I do intend to learn it properly at some point, but I'm sort of slowly and pathetically trying to learn Welsh at the moment.

I'd be interested in hearing how much can Slavic people understand each other after so many centuries having passed since we came from the land outside the Carpathian mountains....

Zanimalo bi me koliko bi slavenski narodi mogli razumjeti jedni druge nakon što je toliko vremena prošlo od kad smo došli iz zemlje iza Karpata....

I understood only this fragment: slavenski narodi mogli razumjeti jedni druge It resembles broken Polish Poles can understand some other Slavic languages a little bit and the other way round but only a bit - when some words or phrases sound like the analogical ones in Polish

I'm Czech and slightly understand Polish, fully Slovak. On the other side, Croatian is difficult to follow for me, since it includes too many different words.

Jay, glad to have been understood, even if only a little.

I met some ten years ago a group of Polish people in Milan, those were the nicest folks ever! We even continued to be pen-pals for some time. But unfortunately we barely understood each other - I think I'd understand Czech slightly better, unfortunately didn't have any opportunity so far.

However we have taken some letters from Czech orthography, we "borrowed" your "háček" in diacritic signs such as čšž so I reckon that at least in the written form we'd able to understand it better than Polish.
