This is a correct sentence in Czech.
I think we owe the Slavs some vowels.
🤮[TÜRKÇE KUSUNTU SESLERİ]🤮
/uj : The reason why turkish is relevant is that we have a 99% rule of a sylable must consist of at least one vowel per up to two consonants.
Not a curse?
More like a witches grocery list
A scythe of the nightingale from the mist A bridle full of carrion stains, the first pride shrivelled from the bridle through a cornflower cluster in the willow bush, a carrion deer quarter of a handful of grain.
Nope, it’s not static from the TV either
It’s clearly the sound an old modem makes when connecting to the internet.
Do the Czechs add at least a few schwas in the middle to make it work?
Digraphs were a mistake
Another classic:
What's long and hard and given to a Polish bride on her wedding day?
A new last name.
They could have just made sh, zh and ch sounds single symbol like other slavic languages that use latin alphabet.
We do have some of that though! But to make it harder, sometimes there’s both: ż and rz make the same sound, but some words use one and some use the other, to keep you on your toes
Is there any impact on reading speed due to this? Polish isn’t the worst possible slavic latin script I’ve seen by far. 🙃
I don’t think it makes any difference. I feel like most of the time the words are different enough that you can tell them apart at a glance. Though if you’re texting with someone and they don’t use polish symbols (e.g. they use z instead of ż), sometimes you need to put extra effort to comprehend what they meant
so could’ve English tbf
My favorite polish word is dżdżownica (earthworm). Pronounced j-j-ov-NEE-tsa.
Oh, and dżdży (it rains), pronounced j-j-ih
And before anyone asks, yes, dżdżownica is called like that because it comes out of the ground when dżdży.
As my Polish-speaking mom likes to say, “Would you like to buy a vowel?”
The pronunciation is actually not that bad but the spelling is insanely difficult.
Spelling is actually very regular (way more than English), it’s just slightly unintuitive for non polish speakers
Polish and Czech are basically the Dutch of Eastern European languages.
The only polish word I know is kurwa. It must mean “the” or something because I swear when I listen to some of my polish colleges talking it comes up in every other sentence.
you should check out their supermarkets one time. You can learn new words like “zloty” (golden) and “bez” (without).
And Piwo.
