  • LGBT Terminology in Slavic languages (Aug 2021)
    Feb 3 2024

    After a short break, I am bringing you back the episode we talked about a lot back in 2021.

    Here, I explain the terminology used in Slavic languages in order to describe a gay person. This is a very sensitive topic and it's not meant to offend anyone. I would also like to state that I won't tolerate homophobic comments. Thank you!

  • Intro to West Slavic slang - Polish
    Dec 1 2023

    It's official - we've come to the end of our series on Slavic slang 😁

    ❗DISCLAIMER: git actually comes from Yiddish, not English directly. However, they are all cognates. My mistake!

    This time, I discuss what slang actually reflects, how it helps youngsters express themselves, and what in the world does it means to release a peacock in Polish 🦚

    💡 All that and more in the episode on Polish slang!

    In this episode, you`ll learn that in BCMS, you greet your friends with (g)de si? gdje si? đe si? đes'? (lit. meaning where are you?), call them your brother – brate, tebra, tebrice, or in Bosnia – jarane. You'll learn that you can also call them an old one – (you'll hear this in Belgrade for example) – matori; in other regions, you can say – stari (with the same meaning)

  • Intro to South Slavic slang - Slovene
    Sep 1 2023

    One of the first things you will notice in Slovene slang is the amount of German words! English ones as well, but given its history, German was way more present throughout the lives of Slovenians than English. Those are the words that are not only to be heard from youngsters since they`ve been a part of the language for some time now. Words like ‘cajt’ (German = die Zeit – time), glih (German = gleich, right away, right now), plac (=der Platz – space, place) švicati (g. schwitzen – to sweat), pucati (g. putzen = to clean) are just some of many that you can hear every day.
