Started learning Russian, could use some advice

[Iskandar]

How easily do Russians understand south-slavic languages?

In my opinion there are serious problems with understanding. If only some words sounding familiar.

Also Russians mostly don't have a habit to understand another language at all

[vatroslav]

Ilahije? To misliš na sevdah ili je to zasebna neka vrsta muzike?

Врста духовне музике босанских муслимана

Oboma vam je ruski materinji jezik?

da

Pa lijepo bome...

[vatroslav]

And also, yes, that could be the reason.

[Poirot]

Your nick in Russian would be "Огнеслав", wouldn't it?

[vatroslav]

Exactly. And also, Croatian has a word 'oganj', too, though it is a bit archaic it is still used. edit: in some parts. Where I live.

How long have you guys been learning south-slavic languages?

[Poirot]

Exactly. And also, Croatian has a word 'oganj', though it is a bit archaic it is still used.

There is a nice Serbian name "Ognjen". Do you have it in Croatia?

How long have you guys been learning south-slavic languages?

Since 1999.

[vatroslav]

Yes we do! Though it is a bit rare to find.

Our 'linguists' are trying to artificially create the distance between serbian and croatian.

But better not start on this.hahahaha


edit: for the record, in serbia they do the same

I'll never understand the politicians here.

Yes, I noticed some interesting words like nogomet, nogostup, zračna luka, dalekozor, igrokaz etc.

Hm...are these not nice? 

Not that i do not like newly constructed words - especially when they are constructed in exchange for english and the simmilar.

What I mind is when they de-standardize the use of some words because they are 'serbisms'. Like 'gvožđe' or 'čas'.

Many of these we still use colloquially...

I mean, 'čas' has an amazing story.

It means the same as russian - an hour. Obviously some older slavic stuff.

They removed 'čas' in exchange for 'sat'. Turcism. Ingenious.

I like them.

Bila je to divna tema, treba da nastavite da postite (ali ne u Ramazanskom smislu) u njoj.

Vatroslave, dobro si došao! Naravno da ćeš da naiđeš ovde na ljude koji uče srpskohrvartski jezik, jer je ovo na kraju krajeva lingvistični forum. Narod se ovde interesuje za raznovrsne jezike od polinezijskih do indijanskih.

[vatroslav]

Hvala lijepa, dobro vas našao, što bi mi rekli...

svakako ću promotrit malo podforume, volim jezike i lingvistiku ovako amaterski pa ne sumnjam da će se nać zanimljivih stvari.

[Poirot]

Vatroslave, gde živite u Hrvatskoj ako nije to tajna?

[vatroslav]

Nije tajna, u Dubrovniku. A vi?

[Poirot]

Nije tajna, u Dubrovniku. A vi?

Ukoliko znam dobro je mesto na moru. Ja sam Moskovljanin.

[vatroslav]

Lijepo je ovdje. Vrlo specifično mjesto osobito u povjesnome smislu ali je to podosta duga priča.

Kad naučim ruski malo bolje možda ispričam štogod u nekoj temi...

Nisam bio tamo. Ali sam nekad posetio Zagreb. Liči malo na St. Petersburg.

[vatroslav]

Svakako, što htijah reć - drago mi je da postoje i oni koji uče srpskohrvatski (ili kako god želite), ako biste nekad htjeli progovorit, tu sam.

улавливать...происходить из 'лавить'?

это свазаное с 'лов'?
