The Kashubian language area is extremely exaggerated. I imagine the other ones are too.

Only Uralfags and turkroaches would think having a two syllable word for yes is a good idea. It's almost as bad as never inventing one in the first place like the Chinese.

To be fair, kyllä is the former word. Joo is used more often.

We use joo, juu and some times even jaa.
Kyllä itself often gets shortened to kyl or kyä in some hilbilly dialects.
Igen is swedish and means again and i think evet is hungarian for year

Country names are very similar in all Germanic languages except English, which sometimes uses latinized forms (e.g. Germany, Austria, Estonia).
>>59257579
But the ones I mentioned aren't just very similar, they're literally 100% the same spelling. It seems weird given that most of our words, although similar, very rarely are spelled the exact same way
>>59257698
>chifut
>>59257898
Lel, we also have the word, and it means "greedy".
>>59257868
The ending -en is used in Swedish and the word "land" is the same so it makes sense that many names are the same.

>>59258050
Why don't you two look up every word root in these countries to determine whether we've borrowed from the Germans, the other way around or if they're merely coincidences
>>59258050
I suppose that might explain most of it. Though I still find it strange that we've seemingly imported more German than the Danes have.

Sure we use this word, but it's un-PC. It's like saying Yid in American English. The proper term is jud.
I can see that some speculation has been involved in the making of this maps, leading to a homogenization of the Slavic terms. For instance, as we see in
>>59253786
every Slavic word for flower has been make to be cvijet/cvjat/cvet, and while it is not lexically incorrect to say cvet in Slovene, this is still entirely the realm of 19th century poetry and a borrowed word at that.
Roža is the word for flower, and cvet is a flower petal, as well as a very polite metaphor for vagina.
But these maps are external and no amount of complaining to /int/ will set them right.

>>59259835
Before we adopted pivo from the Czechs in the early 19th century to seem more Slavic, our word for beer was ol, which is the same as the English ale, but we probably had to have gotten it from you, amirite?
>>59259625
Pir means feast in Russian. Funny word for bear

Finnish joke
>>59263059
>curious the slavs are not using it
We do, it just has a different meaning.
>>59263059
We do use it, but in a forms that are closer to the original (that describe the physical act of beating and not an abstracted term for mass armed conflict). In Slovene you've got:
>razbojnik - bandit
>razbiti - to break, smash
>biti (archaic) - to strike, to toll
and in Serbocroatian:
>biti - to strike, to beat, razbiti (the completive form)
>razbijač - bruiser, street fighter
>>59263245
>>59263313
Razboi means mot-a-mot war. Razboinic is warrior. Guess this is from a Robin Hood era.

There's also another word 'raal' which comes from the name of the soviet mainframe Ural.
