I want to learn one Slavic language
Which one would you recommend based on:
>beauty
>usefulness
>difficulty
>intelligibility with other Slavic language
learn polish and marry a qt
>>57352003
polish, it's nicely hard
Polish definitely
>>57352003
Russian. It's by far the most useful.
>>57352003
Polish is a horrible fucking Language,learn Russian,its the most spoken one
>>57352101
I watched a movie in Polish the other day and it sounded nice
>>57352003
Either Russian or Serbo-Croatian, the rest are just meme languages.
>beauty
Subjective. I dont like any by the sound, but polish curses sound incredibly funny to me
>usefulness
Russian no contest, Polish second if you hate Russians or some shit
>difficulty
Hard for me to say, as i have done no research and desu probably nobody here can give you proper answer, i think they are all equally difficult since they share same roots.
>>intelligibility with other Slavic language
Language most similiar to old Slavic langue is Slovakian. But while Slavic languages share the same original language you wont really be able to communicate with every Slav.
English is dialect of Norwegian and they are very different, Slavic languages are not in same extreme but you get the point.
All in all any Slavic langauge except Russian and maybe Polish is fucking pointless if you dont plan on living here, lot of people speak English and the number will only increase
>>57352003
>>beauty
I doubt this word can be applied to any Slavic language.
>usefulness
You live in Honduras, and do you really expect to make use of it?
>difficulty
Depends on whether you want the least or most difficult one. The easiest is Bulgarian - it has largely abandoned case system in favour of the more analytical grammar.
>intelligibility with other Slavic language
Polish is pretty intelligible with Czech and Slovak, as well as with Belarusian and Ukrainian due to the sheer number of loanwords. Russian has a lot of common words with Bulgarian and is closely related to Belarusian and Ukrainian.

Which movie?
>>57352431
Inland Empire, it is not Polish and is not entirely in Polish, just has some Polish dialogues
>>57352718
Watch Czterej pancerni i pies, it's a great Polish WWII TV series. Plus, if you learn Polish you'd be able to read Stanislaw Lem and Andrzej Sapkowsky's books in the original.
>>57352718
I've honestly no idea what Lynch sees in Łódź. He has some strange fascination with a city the whole of Poland hates.
Know that "Ugly language, ugly people" pasta? That's the city in the pic that goes along with it.
>>57352816
Yeah, my mom always goes on about how good film it is
>>57352003
Montenegrian
>>57352966
Btw I'm just 21 and I like it.
>>57352003
So, if you will decide to learn the Russian language, I can invite you in a Russian learning Skype group.

Suffering
>>57352003
Polish is literally only "Pshe Pshe Pshe"
>>57353062
>if you decide
>invite you to
Brush up your English, chap.
>>57353097
I'm homo anyway.
>ukranian
no such thing
>>57353161
You're a troll or an expat in Ireland.
>>57353134
How?
>>57353062
What's your ID?

I watched Werckmeister Harmonies too. I downloaded some Krzysztof Kieślowski films too, should get to those soon (although I reckon some are not in Polish but in French).
>>57353201
Murphy, of course.

>Werckmeister Harmonies
Uh, but that one is in Hungarian, never mind
Russian. Polish sounds like a Russian trying to speak German, and Ukrainian sounds like a Russian choking on a cock.
Between Russian and Polish, which one grants access to more noteworthy works of literature?
>>57352003
> Russian
>Most widely spoken Slavic language
> Can get spy jobs by West
> Can get Slavic qt
Serbo-Croatian
> SOMEWHAT USEFUL (??)
> Party in Balkans
> Find nice Serbian qt
>>57353563
Russian ofc, but you dont need to speak the language to read the literature, every significant work is translated
>>57353563
Russian obviously, but good luck learning it to a high enough level to keep up with Dost or Tolstoy. Gogol, Pushkin, Lermontov might be alright though.
>>57353563
Russian by far. While Russians were writing great works, Polish literature at the time was nothing but "muh Poland" due to the loss of independence. The classics are often boring for us, yet alone foreigners. The more universal (and enjoyable) works weren't even written in Polish (eg. Joseph Conrad's books or The Manuscript Found in Saragossa).
There's some nice modern literature like Lem, but overall Russian wins by a landslide.
>>57353918
Lem is fantastic, the best sci-fi writer I've ever read. But I read him in Russian translation anyway.
>>57353134
it's not like he made grammar mistake, it's just matter of taste
>>57354265
He actually did, my illiterate friend.
Also,
>made grammar mistake
>>57353918
>The classics are often boring for us,
Same with Russian classic тbh. I hate Dostoevsky, he is just crying depressive nazi-faggot
>>57354401
there is no point in following grammar rules strictly. There is no right and wrong, there are just different levels of speech based on which you can say how literate the person is
>>57354632
Well, then now imagine that every polish early-modern novel or poem is about same fucking thing.
>>57352003
maybe start with the south slavic languages
