Slovenia, a tiny country in central Europe, was hit especially hard by the recent economic crisis. Once a story of success, the country is now struggling with unemployment, poverty, and brain drain. Fortunately, state leaders, politicians, opinion-makers, and spiritual guides have their mouths full with sound advice for the common Slovenian. Here they are - regular, colored, queer, young and hairy - sharing what they learned from their elders.

Ok so here are some Slovenian or translated-into-Slovenian cartoons, for Demi and for all others who wish to learn the Slovenian language or just watch cute cartoons or something idk ~Ok so let's start with something familiar---> Pipi Longstocking ~Then there's a little cutie cartoon I watched as a kid about tooth mice (which is the slovenian alternative for a tooth fairy I believe) ---> Pravljice o zobnih miškah ~Then something a bit longer, I don't remember this one so well, but still ---> Prvi sneg ~And then there's Cofko Cof, I freaking loved this as a kid, but ohmy the koala bear's voice is so annoying how did I never realize that ---> Cofko Cof ~And here there's like a buttload of new and old, slovenian and non-slovenian cartoons, all in the slovenian language ---> stuff And when I'm less lazy and\or if you run out, I can go look for some more :)

Does Polish really have seven genders?

No, it only has three genders overall: feminine, masculine, neuter. It does have 7 cases though for every noun which is something different than gender. Depending on the context, the noun changes form.

Maybe an example will help to explain this.

The 7 cases, the questions they answer and verbs often used with each:1) mianownik (kto? co?) jest2) dopełniacz (kogo? czego?) nie ma3) celownik (komu? czemu?) przyglądam się4) biernik (kogo? co?) widzę, słyszę5) narzędnik ((z) kim? (z) czym?) idę, cieszę się6) miejscownik (o kim? o czym?) mówię, myślę7) wołacz (brak pytania)

Noun: egg (jajko)

1) Jest jajko (there is an egg)

2) Nie ma jajka (there is no egg)

3) Przyglądam się jajku (i’m looking over/at the egg; weird sentence but not all cases are often used)

4) Widzę jajko (i see an egg; answers the question of- what? who?…what do you see? i see an egg)

5) Robię jajecznicę z jednym jajkiem (i’m making an omelet with one egg; the noun after following the word with)

6) Mówię o jajku (i’m talking about the egg; answers the questions, about what? about whom?)

7) Jajko! (exclamatory case; not often used)

Similar with Slovenian, I suppose :)

#we have seven cases too #didn't realize polish was so similar to slovenian #i pretty much understood all that is written #hm #weird #i guess knowing slovenian has its perks #i understand a lot of other european languages because i'm a native slovenian speaker

Slovenian and Croatian language is so similar. So I don't understand; how can Slovenians understand Croatiants so easily, but Croatians have such a hard time understanding Slovenian? It's really puzzling ...

#hm #i've spoken to a lot of croatian people about this and they don't know why either #i think there's something behind the scientifics of the language #croatian #slovenian #slovenia #croatia

One of the rare things I like about living in Slovenia is the fact that by age 20 I already speak 4 languages almost effortlessly (and 3 of them fluently at that) ...

Language Rant (accents)

spanjejezamrtve

I agree so so so much! I noticed that with other people as well, not just native English speakers. In Slovenia for example, a lot of people also speak English. But omg it's super annoying when they don't try AT ALL to speak it the right way. Instead they get this heeeeavy slovenian (sounds a bit like russian) accent. The majority does that. My parents do that. I mean, it's not that hard, come onnnn.

Same with french we're learning in class. I'm probably one of the worst in class. But I try to reduce my slovenian accent to a minimum. Others don't try at all. And they're a hundred times better at French then me.

It's just ridiculously annoying.

idk, I just thought of Demi when I saw this. Posting, even though it's German and not slovenian ..

The problem with Slovenian for me, is the difference between the formal and colloquial language. The difference, of course, exists in other languages as well but I've noticed it's not as apparent. In slovenian, the difference is noticable and I have a real problems with reading ad writing in slovenian. For example, when I write in slovenian, it doesn't seem natural and it doesn't flow nicely. I have to force myself to write in the formal language and to me that means losing my creativity, my original thought. When I read and truly lose myself in the book, it's fine. But when I start thinking about it, it sounds funny, because no one actually talks like that ... I don't know if others have the same issues. But it's really bothering me. Maybe that's why I prefere to write and read in English.

Res bi se rada naučila čim več jezikov. Zaenkrat znam Slovensko, Angleško, Hrvaško in srednje dobro Francosko. Ampak rada bi znala še več. Prvi jezik na listu je zagotovo znakovni jezik (za gluhe), potem bi pa rada znala še Špansko ker je zelo lahek jezik za naučiti se ... in še v osnovni šoli sem ga imela eno leto. Ko pa vse to obvladam se bom zagotovo lotila še Ruščine, Kitajščine, Arabščine in pa enega izmed severnoevropskih jezikov ker nameravam živeti tam (nekaj časa). Sicer bi bilo pa tudi Nemško dobro znat, ker tako blizu živim in poznam ogromno ljudi, ki ta jezik govorijo ... Mogoče sem preveč ambiciozna haha
