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.Support the showSupport Slavstvuyte through www.buymeacoffee.com/slavstvuyteFollow me on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Linkedin.For additional information, go to www.slavstvuyte.org All inquiries, questions, and comments can be sent to slavstvuyte@gmail.com

In today’s episode, I am going to try and bring some Ukrainian & Russian slang to the table. It’s already August, and I imagine you’re somewhere on some beach, not ready to face reality, so that is why I’m not gonna bother you with aspect, conjugations, phonology, and all things we normally do on this podcast. Instead, just a little something to keep your day at the beach more interesting.Support the showSupport Slavstvuyte through www.buymeacoffee.com/slavstvuyteFollow me on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Linkedin.For additional information, go to www.slavstvuyte.org All inquiries, questions, and comments can be sent to slavstvuyte@gmail.com

Still, I hope it won´t be too distracting and I apologize for the inconvenience.Slavic languages express the belonging of the person or object in question through the reflexive-possessive pronoun *𝐬𝐯𝐨𝐣ь. But when exactly is it used and what is its role among all the other possessive pronouns? 𝐓𝐮𝐧𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐮𝐭!Literature mentioned in the episode:1.
