Is Polish similar to Ukrainian? Polish Ukrainian conversation

Greetings from Ukraine😉👍

@Grzegorz G to tvoja bidna fantazia. Ne Malo raziv baczyw ja Poliakiv u Harkovi

@Ivan Kováč ‘z každého rožka troška’ - Ja mušu ce zapamjataty. Duže harno zvučyt' :)

Українець теж розуміє словацьку та польску мови😃

@Andrew Shepitko it's not me, it's ytber become the knight

@TheScapeGoat616😂😂 look at your face

@Anastasiya Rakova ukrainian has nothing similar with russian. All similar words in russian is borrowed from ukrainian. Russian sounds like some far eastern language because it is. It has ugro-finnic origin.

@Yehor Makovskyi To me the Russian language sounds absolutely majestic, graceful and enjoyable.

@Phiusmes Сейчас особенно обидно осознавать то, что многие так заблуждались( Но теперь имеем что имеем

Я тебе теж розумію, не користуючись перекладачем😋

@Arina Vcvs К сожалению раньше мало кто понимал с кем мы рядом живём

@Phiusmes Как же вы были правы еще год назад. Особенно, если обратить на аватарку этого человека, которая стоит у него сейчас)

@Lil Chich ты во времени потерялся? РоКоМПот давно помер).

This is probably Western Ukrainian. Not a linguist here but I will welcome your constructive critique as long as I can learn something from it. I'm Polish and the generic version of it is my native language, So is my generic version of the American English since in a few days 40 years will have will have had will pass since I have had arrived here. Any English teachers here? No one knows how to speak proper English tenses just like no one know how to use Polish cases proper.. properlistically... properly, properlynościowo . The way you speak Polish so fucking great. Speak it because if we were to learn your language it would not sound so pleasant.

@TTS Stories Slovensko bratstvo protiv zapadne (zahidne) asimilacije

@P Isac why did i have to learn russian if i am not russian myself? I've got my own beautiful language, got my own tv shows. They only forced it trying to assimilate us. If i want, i can watch tv shows in russian via BRvid. But you don't have to force us. I don't think you really understand what it is like, while leaving in some third country, so that is funny watching you writing it. You don't have any right to judge us, because you don't know what it is like.

@TTS Stories That's sad and that's bad. Unifying should be goal, not separation. People do teach their kids to speak US English, but prevents their kids to learn Russian. That's in fact really catastrophic for the Slavic nations... even Ukrainians. They will certainly lost completely their identity in US/EU asimilation.

@P Isac Not in that case. russian was forced(!) to ukrainians. Even back in 1990-2010 most of our TV was in russian, also i've had russian at school as a subject. I was born in the 2000s and i've seen it personally, and that is why I am fluent in both ukrainian and russian, even though 99% of people in my region don't use russian anywhere, we just know it. Back in USSR it was even worse. Also, interesting fact, nowadays some parents are showing their children only ukrainian content and they understand russian MUCH worse.

@Василь Сидорук 42 слова(с повторениями) в твоем комменте, из них 3 слова с корнями не присутствующими в русском: маячня, тобто, чи. Предназначение Чи очень легко угадывается, маячня - сложнее, но понимаемо из контекста. В сумме, одно неясное слово, непонимание которого не влияет на общий смысл. На примере твоего коммента, маячня - твоя позиция

@Sasuke Uchiha Volin? It's an island in north-eastern Poland, close to border with Germany. But it's spelled with "W."

You must be really clever...

@Stephan PLU Och, fajnie to słyszeć. 😊 Ojeju, dawno temu komentowałem tutaj. 😂 Pozdrawiam z Brazylii! 🇧🇷😃

Jestem mile zaskoczony że Brazylijczyk uczy się polskiego, pozdrawiam

@Julian Not if you're gay or black, though.

@Antoni Czeluskin живе вічно!!!

Здорово!!! Браво!!!

Українці і білоруси в основному двомовні, тому нам легше розуміти інші слов`янські мови.

@Rin Okumura правильніше українською та польською мовами😉

Я тоже практически все понимаю на белорусском и украинском, и большую часть на польском. Ни на одном из этих языков я не говорю, но у меня очень большой опыт общения и даже жизни в этих языковых средах) Наизусть знаю несколько песен на польском и украинском, и даже парочку на белорусском)

​@Ruslan L ось бачиш людина настроєна позитивно по доброму, чого ти цей позитив ламаєш ще в початку?

Розуміємо без перекладу

​@Денисъ Степановъ Lost in translation Dennis. Don't even start me on what my real name is in Polish.

​@Ruslan L OK,znam trochę bo mnie kazali uczyć. Ale pytanie. Czy jest w języku rosyjskim zwrot "ja mam "czy po "angielsku I have?" Po rosyjsku jest to "У меня есть" which would translate to "with me is" both in Polish and English. Both are close in both of my native languages but there is no the possessive "I have". Polish and Russian are different languages but very close when it comes to defining the relationships of hierarchy. Does "У меня есть" just mean "I have "or is there more to it?

@Quasar Я ніколи польську не вчив, тим не менш, прекрасно її розумію. Я навіть не з західної України, а з центральної.

Ukrainian is fine in talking speed...the only one who should slow down is you...

Belarusian is also easy to understand

putler niezadowolony

Yes. Our languages are so similar! 🤠

My famil's been in the US about the same amount of time. So you're like .... 3rd generation born in Canada? I'm 3rd generation in US and am the only 3rd generation I know who has decent fluency. I also studied Russian for 7 years. When I listen to people from western Ukraine understand fairly well. But eastern Ukraine to me sounds like an unfamiliar dialect of Russian.

Canadian born ukranian speaking poles? Wow I have never heard of such a thing. Sounds fascinating!

I think it would be fascinating to a chat between you and Norbert. Canadian-Ukrainian is really unique for many reasons, but mainly because you didn't have to learn Russian, so your Ukrainian is more clean :)

@mihanich With out exposure i can tell you that they understand less then they would Polish..Russian and Ukrainian are kind of far when considering how close most of the other slav languages are to each other!

I have always wanted to find a Ukrainian-speaking person from Canada to ask this question: to what extent are you able to understand Russian? Have you had much exposure to it?

Yes you can study all the slavic languages at our university :). Ukrainians and Croatians are related. Croatia is a very popular destination for tourists so we have many people from Czech Republic, Poland, Ukraine... so we are connected yes. We also have a group of Ukrainians who live in Croatia.

wow they teach Polish and Ukrainian in Croatia? Do Croats feel any connection to Ukraine on account of Croatians originating in Ukraine and then migrating to western Balkans?

Hey, ukrainian here! How's your progress with ukrainian language? Just curious)

Language is so much related to history after all :D

Ecolinguist You're welcome. No I don't study linguistics at all (I'm a teacher of history). I'm passionnate by languages.

Thanks for an informative comment :) Are you studying linguistics?

That's great! I would like to lear Ukrainian and other slavic languages.

Dokładnie, to jest magia polskiego i ukraińskiego :D.

Dziękuję za komentarz Panie Władysławie ;)

Not guaranteed but it could very well be that her dialect was a bit closer to standard Ukrainian than to Belarusian. There are many transitional dialect in rural South-Western Belarus, and the way people speak south of Brest is almost identical to standard Ukrainian, while north of Brest, it becomes closer to standard Belarusian. Unfortunately, these dialects are dying out now in Belarus as people switch to Russian

I think he didn't speak very well Belarusian.

I think the ukrainian boy's sound was more clear while the belarusian sound was less clear and also the belarusian guy said he was not so fluent in speaking it and probably his speaking was affected by russian language.

я зрозумiв все Польською мовою)

Ziemomysł pewnie używała język chachłacki

Ja 100% :P.

I agree that knowing both helps tremendously. But I would say, even the pronunciation of Polish seems a bit closer to Russian than to Ukrainian for me: on one hand, there's no vowel reduction, and there's the L-to-W mutation, like in Ukrainian; on the other hand, like Russian, it's a lot "softer" than Ukrainian having all those palatalized consonants, uses "hard" G, only uses shortened infinitives, and devoices the final consonants

Ivan Pewnie dlatego że Ukrainski ma podobną fonetykę do Rosyjskiego i więcej wspólnych słów.

Podibno, Podobno.

@Mikołaj Bojarczuk респект)

@Virskovskiy майже три роки.

@Mikołaj Bojarczuk нічого собі, ти дійсно доволі добре пишеш на українській, як довго ти вивчав українську?

Ivan B. Я Поляк і можу говорити українською, і відразу бачу, що ці дві мови дуже подібні до себе, котрі на мій погляд є цілком зрозумілі для польської особи на більш-менш 70-90% :)

Ivan B. that's interesting

Тоже отлично понимаю молдавский и румынский я из Черновцов

​@Mr. Nobody As a Pole I don't know the history of the Czech nation enough, but shouldn't it be writen like that: The Czech language practically disappeared for several hundred years from the administrative space and public offices because the German language was treated as official language of the lands. Poland used Latin as an official language in administration and science until the end of XVIII (partitions), they used Latin in liturgy until middle of XX. It doesn't mean that Poles at the time didn't speak Polish. It means that the 'official language' expectations were different (like name suggest: 'for office'). Czechs where a part of HRE for hundreds of years - HRE was big, and Latin and German were prioritized. I'm not saying it's fair to smaller nations, but such were the times. That's why Czechs MANY times tried to make themself an equal partner, or 'a partner', even before they entered HRE, e.g. with the Glagolitic script. People are always the same (now they are learning English or Mandarin) - they seek opportunities that will give them an easier future. So opportunities for Czech nobility were different than for common folks. From Wikipedia about Battle of White Mountain: - "An estimated five-sixths of the Bohemian nobility went into exile soon after the Battle of White Mountain, and their properties were confiscated. - Before the war about 151,000 farmsteads existed in the Lands of the Bohemian Crown, while by the year 1648 only 50,000 remained. - At the same time the number of inhabitants decreased from three million to only 800,000. - The result of the 1620 battle brought two centuries of recatholicization of the Czech lands and the decline of the Czech-speaking aristocracy and elite as well as the Czech language (accompanied with the growing influence of German-speaking elites)." As a daughter of farmers, as a grand-daughter of farmers, as a grand-grand-daughter of farmers, as a grand-grand-grand-daughter of farmers... I'm simply disgusted. There still were a lot of common Czechs... So what that they weren't nobility? Nobility made borders of state but the people made the language. Do you think that most of Russians stopped speaking the Slavic language, when their nobility thought it's plebian? What probably happened in Czechia (I know that it wasn't named Czechia then, but Poland also had different names, and it's faster to simply say Poland or Czechia) was the lack of new specialized vocabulary and texts written in the Czech language, so there were not many 'official' sources for discussing compromises of e.g. declenstion endings after their sounds evolved... Josef Jungmann... I don't think that I read anything of his. But it's obvious that he lived in the times when rich people started to write for and about poor folks. Look at questions about Pushkin and Russian language. Why should people care about some Russian nobility guy but not "the sixth child (out of ten) of a cobbler"? If codification of Czech is a job of one man, it's good for him. Why we should even care about Pushkin, that had resources: money, time and friends that helped promote his name - he is a lesser creator compared to Jungman. Should I say that English is "an artificially created" language just because it borrowed a lot of words from other languages? Of course, not. When Czechs (or let's call them German speaking grandchildren of Czechs, who cares?) were ready to start write books in Czech they could use German words (it's called loanwords) or they could make their own loan translations (it's called calque). Both phenomens are natural and none is better than other. We also have a lot of translations in science, or a lot of borrowings in liturgy. And so what? Germans also have a lot of loan translations. Latin also had both... There is nothing like some mistically 'pure language'. I think the problem that Czechs can have is the difference between how they write and how they speak, because they needed to make Standard Czech fast and there were more different groups of SPEAKERS of living Czech than people that wanted codify it. So on every day life it would be only logical that they still use a lot of loanwords (or different endings) than loan translations -- because people don't speak in dictionaries ;) BTW. I can also guarantee that the average person in Czechia didn't speak as it was writen in the books before the 1620 ;) Because, nobility is always small % that consider only its company to be worthy and its language as proper - so they don't even know what "the average" means (esp. before mass media ;) ) Just like the average Brit doesn't speak or eat like their queen, or the average American doesn't look and live like Kardashian family ;) --- When comes to Slovak... They obviously make a highly mutually intelligible dialect continuum with Czechs. It was Czechia that had more nobilites (money to make new friends with foreigners and talk about politics, philosophy, etc. or simply to buy expensive foreign goods), more books and first made new words for fastly developing world. It was more urban Czech (the lands are more to the West) that was the language from which more rural Slovaks were (and probably still are) talking borrowings - and there were no need to change them to make sense for common people compared to words from German or Latin. I'm sure that exposure to the other language because of mass media helps them also. But... four days ago I read the data from the "Special Eurobarometer 386". It is a survey made in 2012 about the ability to USE languages OTHER than the mother tongue. I don't want the shitshtorm here but I really recommend you to ask Slovaks and Czechs how they communicate with each other... (or better, look what they wrote about it a decade ago) and compare the answers with the data showing how many of them consider that they use the NOT THEIR MOTHER language (and how it looks with other speakers of mutually intelligible languages, Scandinavians or Spanish-Portuguese group). I'm too young to know Czechoslovakia, and I still didn't digest the data, but it was really interesting. PS. You are aware that Sobieski and other Polish nobilites used Latin names for months, right? You know that name of the month called Kwiecień means simply the month of flourishing of flowers? You know that V month is the month in which the most flowers bloom in Poland? People could use it for any month, when they thought about some specific flowers. You know that places in Europe have different climates? You know that other languages use Listopad for different month than Poles? In short: what makes you think that it was Czechs and not Poles that used word for the "wrong" month? When it's simply description of natural period of year and not specific day-to-day modern time.

Just polish lithuanian commonwealth? Did you know that we are the nearest to Poland and and we had one protoslavic language?

@magpie_girl Czech language practically disappeared for several hundred years and then was artificially recreated by Josef Jungmann during the so-called Czech National Revival that took place at the end of the 19th century. After Battle of White Mountain (1620), most of Czech nobility was murdered and replaced by the German one. The remaining Czech elite was Germanized. Therefore, today's Czech language is practically an exclusive invention of one person, who tried to recreate and "de-Germanise" (fun fact: Jungmann was half German) it basing on a mixture of archaic Czech, Lach dialects, Polish spoken by the local lower class, from the Polish dictionary written by Samuel Linde and German (still). He copied many words from i.a. Polish and changed their meanings (to make Czech different) ... as a result of these changes e.g. only in Czech the fifth month is "květen" (from the Polish name of fourth month - "kwiecień") - anyone who knows the origin of the name of this month knows perfectly well that in Czech language it was assigned to the wrong month. So today's Czech language has little in common with the Czech language known before the Battle of White Mountain (the latter was visibly and audibly more similar to Polish). Slovak language is also a late invention and is mainly based on that new Czech. So it's obviously hard for the Czechs and Slovaks not to notice the clear differences between their - very similar - languages and the Polish language ... and vice versa.

@magpie_girl Obviously Czech, Slovak, Sorbian, Kashubian and to some lesser extent Polabian are indeed similar to Polish because they are all West Slavic. That's why I didn't mention them ;) I brought up Belarusian and Ukrainian because they have many West Slavic loanwords (predominantly Polish because of the PLC), whereas Russian has many South Slavic (via Old Church Slavonic). It's a miracle that Czechs managed to revive their language because they were slowly germanized. Regarding the RZ/Ř. I remember that I read somewhere that we lost in Polish the original sound due to East Slavic influence but at least some dialects kept it like Mazurian dialect but unfortunately those people considered themselves German despite speaking a Polish dialect :(

There is something like dialect continuum :) , so we can understand Slovaks, Czechs and Sorbs - and they WEREN'T with us in Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth :) That Belarusian and Ukrainians speak language close to Polish means that they didn't need to have national resurrection of language like Czechs had in Prussia - they had their words - like you can hear that people understand themselves at a basic level (and if someone had a time to talk about philosophy or economics it means that probably had also more time to learn some words :) ). We also got a lot of words from Ruthenians. I would also say, that because of PLC with many not West Slavs our palatalized R (RI) --> RZ (the same like Czech), that is between R and Ż changed into Ż sound.

@მე მარი ვარ why your name is written in Georgian ?

@Bojan Bojić to nisu činjenice nego vaša pusta mašta, i koštalo nas je to sve puno. Stvarno ne mogu shvatit što je u vašim glavama, zar ne vidite da to što radite može samo štetu naniti, ponajprije vama samima? Budite normalni, dajte i drugima pravo da žive i postoje i svima će biti dobro.

@Yt faze fan Samo sam izrekao činjenice, al očito nisam trebao ovde pošto je ovo ipak kanal za jezike, a ne za politiku i emocije. Shvatio sam svoju grešku i izvinjavam se zbog toga 🙏.

@Bojan Bojić pleme hrvati je bilo staro ko srpsko, hrvati su lsgitimna nacija ko i mi

@Tetreb93 odlično i objektivno objašnjenje. Činjenice govore sve. Zapad vekovima potkopava srpski narod i uopšte samo srpstvo.

Only budalas don’t understand much of this conversation. 😜😎

Dzięki! Powodzenia w nauce polskiego! 🤓

@itani lead і що тут? Я живу на Поліссі, в нас переховувалися польські сім‘ї. Але ти вважаєш, що ми всі винні. Спочатку вивчи історію і трошки спробуй розібратися і правді. Був у вас президент, Качинський, що разом з нашим просили вибачення один в однго. Але ви втратили того президента і розум втратили також. Волинь на той час була окупована і окупант десятки років карав та зневажав місцеве населення. Паспорти та громаданство було у всії польське, але притензії ви маєте до сучасної України. А, можливо і поляки також частково винні у тій трагедії? Потрібно знати свою історію, щоб трагедій ніколи не повторювати.

Ooo tak, robi Pan świetną robotę, bardzo brakuje tego typu rzeczy na youtube :). Ogólnie polecam się zapoznać ze staropolszczyzną, bo baaardzo wiele z tych słów jest na porządku dziennym używana przez innych Słowian, (oczywiście często w nieco "przekręconej formie"), również sporo słów ma "staropolskie" znaczenie :). www.eioba.pl/a/1vly/wyrazy-zapomniane

@Євгеній Панасенко yes, average Russians can’t understand sh...t in Ukrainian nor Polish or Bielorussian. There are however some paid by Russian propaganda linguists who are able to understand those languages and creating coments like all Russians can understand as well. When you meet Russians next time do not go easy on them and just speak your language without translation into Russian. And you will understand how little they understand. They ere ALWAYS asking: “could you speak in Russian?” I wonder: “why is that?”

I am a Ukrainian native speaker. Every time when I spoke Ukrainian to Russians, they understood me 30%, not more. Russians don't understand Ukrainian, that's for sure

That's pretty cool! As a Russian I understood the Ukrainian guy 100% and the Polish guy 60-70% depending on the moment.

@Sergey Bebenin there exist lower skills of language than average.

@Serenity Departed education in what field? Short of studying different Slavic language(s) nothing will magically give you understanding of words that aren't in Russian language

@Phiusmes i would agree aswell..We cant be like moskals...But i still feel like Rusyn and Ukrainian are two dialects of the same southern Ruthenian language!

Islander Local It's also confusing on many layers for us (Ukrainians) because we used to call ourselves Rusyns as recently as 19th century to some extend and everyone was called a Rusyn in Ukraine further centuries back. But I agree that it's probably it's own language, because I can't understand all of it.

Islander Local Rusyn is also a Ruthenian language. Basically Ruthenian divulged into Ukrainian, Belarusian and Rusynian. Some consider Rusyn language to be a dialect of Ukrainian, but I'm not a linguist and it's hard to say whether that would be accurate classification.

Great. If u have kids, young cousins, nieces ect. Please teach them Belarusian. Ukrainian/Belarusian are truly one people and one linguistic group. These are the only two surviving Ruthenian languages...

The only language that is 100% to Ukrainian is.... Ukrainian. The only language that is 100% to Polish is.... Polish.

Rozumím 80 % polsky, 30% ukrajinsky.

Radomir Stec taky jsem se divil, byl jsem ve Lvově a Kyjeve a je lepší na ně mluvit česky než anglicky xD

Również pozdrawiam! Pozdravy! 😎

Hey, ukrainian here! How's your progress with ukrainian language? Just curious)

Я вивчаю* ;) I'm polish and i know ukrainian.

@Lil Weasel ♡ lol, there's no gorod in Ukrainian

@Lil Weasel ♡ GRAD: [misto]Ukr, [mjasto]Pl

Im Croatian and it defijitely doesnt sound like the same language. You can hear the long east slavic krava=korova, grad=gorod in Ukrainian while Polish sounds West Slavic

you're probably from the south of Poland, here in the North-east would tell you that Belarusian or Ukrainian, it all depends on the region and the language exposure.

This is weird, because Slovak is the most easy to understand for us Poles. And they understand as easy as well.

My language is Serbian, but I've been speaking Russian and Polish for many years, so I understood Ukrainian almost perfectly, and I love it anyway. I guess for people from ex-Yugoslavia (who speak the former Serbo-Croatian, now BCMS), Ukrainian is easier to understand than Polish.

@Павло Косякевич Вот и неправда, я именно тот самый звычайный россиянин, но все равно тебя понимаю идеально. Конечно, сильно помогает тот факт, что я и по польски немного молвлю, но все же)

@elleamo92 мабуть бабця з України, депортували колись, поїхала будувати БАМ чи направили як молоду спеціалістку після Вінницького чи Полтавського університету. Не розуміють звичайні росіяни української.

я россиянка и тоже все понимаю )))

@Міхаїл звичайно. У нас з барабольцями >80% спільної лексики. Слухати програми білоруською ізі)

мені здається українська і білоруська навіть більше схожі ніж з іншими двома(російскою і польскою). Хоча не можу порівняти як там справи з литовською, але з моєї перспективи все бесь так)

@Sigmunt King для початку потрібно розмовляти із жителями прикордонних (де межа країн) регіонів. Там найбільше вживання споріднених слів. Чим далі від кордону, тим мова може відрізнятися.

Polski-Czeski jest bardziej trudny al mowic powoli i mozna sie dogadac. Ja mialem okazje rozmawiac z Czechem i tylko okazyjnie uzywalismy angielski zeby wyjasnic znaczenie niektorych slow.

I actually had to do a lot od that when I was traveling in Italy. My Spanish isn't fluent but it was enough to communicate with Italians in simple contexts :D

@Павло Косякевич та скоріше ми перейдемо на латиницю, але не бачу в цього нічого поганого В поляків просто купа правил на різне написання цих ш, ч, х А нам просто зробити щось подібне Я - Ą Ю - Ų Є - Ę Ї - Į Ш - Ş Ч - Ç Щ - ŞÇ

@Павло Косякевич Ну це вже політика. А ми говоримо про мову .

@Bart Konieczny Ваrt ! Зроби добру спрау . Напиши мені хоч 4 чи 5 речень польскою але кирилицею. Просто заради експерименту . Хочу побачити як це може виглядати .

@Yehor Makovskyi А то тільки деякі слова а не всі. Це раз. От чехи то так. Там в них із цим все просто. А в польскій шиплячі і так і сяк , чорті шо . А якщо в слові окрім шиплячих є і , овн йовн , авн явн , евн євн То це капец повний.

Колись поляки теж писали старословянським церковним шрифтом але з прийняттям християнства приняли з католицизмом і латинку. Щодо таких букв як ,,ш,, ,,щ,, і ,,ч,, погоджуюсь , бо поляки пишуть двома літерами а в поєднанні із іншими шиплячими читати певні слова по польски то мраки .

That's true of all dialectal continuums - but mostly in the past, entirely true in modern times. E.g. you could go from Portugal to the south of Italy, or you could go from Czechia to Poland - a 5000-1000 years ago.

так так !

@Max Khovanski я не утверждал что их только 4, а только утрировал

@Alsagir Нет, перестать смотреть иностранные видео не стоит, но намеренно убивать собственную культуру - это тоже не самый мудрый удел. Я также не говорю, что нужно прекратить глобализацию - а лишь то, что нужно защищать свою культуру. Это две разные вещи. Т.е. не забывать традиции, язык, архитектурные особенности, и также не стоит намеренно занимать чужую культуру на место своей. Чем мы отличаемся от европейца? Ой, в одном комменте даже не объяснить. Характером, менталитетом, ценностями, мировоззрениями, и чем только ещё не отличаемся. Мне и блогеров не нужно смотреть, чтобы в этом убедиться: я сам был "нашим, русским", а сейчас я в своём большинстве именно европеец, англичанин. Когда я первый раз приехал в Англию и пошёл в первый раз в школу, я вообще думал, что попал на какую-то другую планету. А сейчас Россияне для меня живут в намного другим мире. Кстати, вы так и не ответили на вопрос: если кроме арабской и азиатской культур только еврейская и африканская, то к какой культуре относятся евреи, индусы, китайцы и японцы? Это же четыре совершенно разные культуры, не имеющие друг с другом практически ничего общего.

@Max Khovanski почему горжусь? Разве можно гордиться тем, что предметы под действием гравитации падают на землю? Я констатирую факт. Культуры смешиваются, границы стираются. И что теперь, одеть вышиванку и не смотреть иностранные фильмы, не общаться с иностранцами, закрыть границы, лишь бы не попасть под влияние чужих культур? Мы в прошлом уже попадали под влияние. Религия от греков, письмо на греческом основано, одеваемся мы тоже как обычные европейцы. Чем мы отличаемся от среднестатистического европейца или даже китайца? Кухня и язык. Менталитет? Посмотри иностранных блогеров, или наших живущих долгое время за границей. Люди мало чем отличаются друг от друга. Глобализация как стихия, с ней нет смысла бороться

@Yehor Makovskyi американці ж якось відрізняються від жителів Великобританії, Канади, Австралії? І чи суть нації лише в тому, щоб відрізнятися від інших? Тобто, якщо не дай боже ми почнемо бути схожими на когось, то що треба різко щось вигадувати, щоб почати відрізнятися? Час нас всіх зітре і переплавить. Українці майбутнього не будут нас розуміти, бо все розвивається і еволюціонує. З часом, можливо, людство прийде до единої мови і единої глобальної держави. Хоча б в межах Землі. Добре це, чи погано? Не знаю, але скоріше за все так і буде

So am I
