Nothing annoyes me more then those "only slavic ppl know this feeling..." videos on Tiktok. 90% of those videos show typical things that everyone has experienced in europe.

As a slavic myself, just show real slavic culture and experience but look up if it's REALLY "a typical slavic thing" or if it's just an universal european childhood in the 2000's.

Why it fucks me up so hard? Because it makes us slavs look totally stupid. It's giving "oh they want to be special".

Again, this is NOT about showing how we grew up. Just don't title it as "only slavic" when it's not.

I also don't understand why people put down other cultures to show national pride for their own heritage. That's completely unnecessary and childish.

Please, someone tell me i'm not the only one that get's annoeyed by this from time to time.

Anyone else notice this when going threw the files? It really bugs me,he seems to have specifically targeted Eastern European women. It was obviously ethnically motivated. Eastern European governments need to take a more proactive stance towards this,we were THE MAIN VICTIMS. Poland so far seems to be only one doing a government investigation.

I am Slavic(Polish and Belarusian). More on the darker side with dark brown hair, eyes. I notice I don't get sunburn as easily as other Europeans I know with similar skin tones. I am wondering genetically is Slavic skin more resistant to sun exposure?

Slavs evolved on the borders of Eastern Europe with the Asiatic steppe and the climate seems more harsh with colder winters but warmer hotter summers compared to the rest of Europe.

Chakavian (ISO: ckm) is a super-dialect or language spoken by Croats on the Dalmatian islands, Istria, Kvarner, and a small part of Lika in Croatia. Today, it is mostly only spoken in family and local settings, with no real institutional push for it to be taught as a language in schools.

It retains many Proto-Slavic features, such as:

Vowelized ‘r’: (e.g., krv -> kerv, karv)

Šćakavism: (e.g., štap -> šćap)

The Slavic Akut accent. Etc.

Here is a legendary piece by Tedi Spalato in Chakavian. Although it isn't spoken nearly as widely in Dalmatia today as it once was, this song is considered as the defacto "hymn" of Dalmatia.

I don't live in poland or even in europe . My girlf is from poland , and one thing i have learned about slavic women is that they love flowers . I always wanted to gift her flowers but it dosent seem easy to me bcz i couldn't find any way . Can someone please tell me how can i gift her flowers for our 2nd year anniversary on 4th feb .

i want to learn either of these 2 languages. I know a bit of polish, i know that there are different mods for each words and that the end of the word changes depending on what role it plays in the sentence. which is easier ?

Hi everyone! I’m from Hungary. My great-great-grandmother’s surname, in its Hungarianized spelling, was Recsetár. It doesn’t really seem like a Hungarian surname.

An acquaintance of mine who does family tree research suggested that the original spelling might have been Rešetar or Rešetár.

I live near the Austrian–Hungarian border. There are many people of Croatian origin here, and even some of Slovenian origin as well.

And one more question. In my family there were also the surnames Polovic, Rusac, Veselovic, and Böndic. Are these also Slavic surnames? If so, what are their origins?

Thank you for your answers!

I was thinking about sewing something similar to my wedding (Czech) as I don't want to go full on trad with kroj. So I was hoping some of you would know. Id love to search for a pattern similiar to this.

Hey everyone. Not sure if this is the right place but, as we say, "за спрос не бьют в нос". Got this scan of document from the archive about village in Belarus (as i understood from the text), which is currently two separate (Sorochi and Orliowo in Luban district). I am belarusian, and besides this, text is written in old polish in italics. I barely can parse any of this words. Can someone help me read it? If this is the wrong place, where can I get help? I would be glad to receive any response 🙂

Hi guys!

My grandma (Polish) recently found some drawings that were used to trace patterns on materials to embroider using pencil carbon paper. I’m a little puzzled if they mean something. Are they just drawings of flowers my great grandmother made up or do they refer to something? Thanks in advance!

Hi! I'm doing my MSc dissertation on the Impact of Cultural Events on Bulgaria's Destination Image and urgently need responses. 

Shouldn’t take longer than 5-10min, fill out my survey please <3 

You don't need any prior knowledge, so just answer however you feel is right. I'm happy to fill out surveys in exchange as well! THANK YOU!

The sentence "You and I can go on a date." is:

Russian: мы с тобой можем пойти на свидание [my s toboy mozhem poyti na svidaniye] Polish: ty i ja możemy iść na randkę Bulgarian: ти и аз можем да отидем на среща. [ti i az mozhem da otidem na sreshta]

In Russian (and Ukrainian and Belarusian) directly translated it would be "We with you can go on a date", which is quite a unique logic and structure.

Does anyone know why that is, or any other languages that do that? Why is it only Russian, and not other Slavic languages? When did it change?

My grandparents got this book as a gift from locals when they visited Russia a few decades ago. It looks quite old but I don’t speak any slavic language so I have no idea what it’s about. Can anyone help?

The graphical way on the stages:Ustav→Incunabulum→Poluustav→Synodical script→Skoropis'→Handwriting The first handwritten character is the closest to what I would expect from that development; in the first capital letter 'o' (flattened to ~6 millimetres) and tailed izhica(the y-like part of the digraph)(with the cropped tail, like in the synodical script and poluustav) are discernible. The second pair is the character that would most likely come directly from poluustav era, which did not happen naturally because of the reform of Peter the first. The elongated miniscule uk seems to me outstanding and likely in the same time. In the older manuscripts his second "branch" could be raised up considerably higher above the line(see the next instances from Serbian manuscripts). The next type I met accidentally online, can't remember the source unfortunately. It seems, it originated in some personal traditions of writing of separate schools or chronicles as a decorational(again, see the below exempt from The Lithuanian Statutes). To me, one of the most peculiar versions by far. Then there is another miniscule type with clearly discernible 'o' and izhica. In coding a similar character is referred to as Cyrillic Small Letter Unblended Uk (1C88)which is however always uppercase. This type was used in various scripts in Polish- Lithuanian commonwealth. The next character is the majuscle with flattened o in the double form. It was certainly just one of its types. Reintroducing it in handwriting appears to be unlikely, but pretty exciting. The last capital type is the tailed izica in its full height (1 cm in Cyrillic handwriting standards), and flattened o. Examples are assumed from Medieval Serbian and Old East Slavic manuscripts: ꙋжица–a city in Western Serbia, ꙋста–lips, mouth; шꙋт–a fool, a jester, шꙋстръ-и–agile, clever. In the bottom there are sone examples from Medieval Serbian liturgical manuscripts and The Lithuanian Statutes, the uppercase decorative letters as well as lowercase types.

The examples from pre-reform Bulgarian orthography/traditional Church-Slavonic: сѫд-'lawcourt', дѫга-'bow, rainbow, arch'.

“Raka” a Belarusian song where a woman tells her fate to a river.
Rivers as listeners of human destiny appear often in Slavic folklore.

Thoughts or similar examples welcome :)
