does polish Y sound the same as czech Y?
if it does then there is no real difference between spoken I and Y.
>>62261626
i is soft similar to ee in meet
y is hard similar to i in dig,
>>62261764
all sound same
What's the soft consonants? It's not palatalized sounds?
>>62261764
no, í is ee
i is dick
y is dig
like y in lyrics
>>62261842
they don't in polish, there is a big difference between być (to be) and bić (to beat, hit)

Why don't the West and South Slavs differ animacy for female nouns? Are you fucken sexist?
>>62268430
What does that mean? We have genders and two declinations for both male and female plus one for neutral.
>>62268430
>anbd south slavs
we do
>>62268558
It determines what form a noun takes in accusative plural (acc. sing for II declension male words too). If it's animate then it uses the genitive form, otherwise it uses the nominative form.
>>62268558
No, you don't. You don't even decline nouns.
>>62269151
That sounds weird 2bh
>>62260729
>a Slavic language with no soft consonants at all
Are you serious? How did it happen to you?
>>62273820
Soft consonants are gay 2bh.
>>62273872
How do you measure the gayness of sounds?
>>62274008
If they produce a lisping sound they're pretty gay.
>ć
>nj
>lj
>anything followed by the cyrillic soft sign
>>62274138
That's not an explanation. I don't see any correlation between consonant palatalization and gayness, and I don't think you do as well since normally you can't even hear the difference between them and their hard pairs.
>>62261842
They do in Czech, not in Polish
>>62274596
They just don't sound right. They are some sort of half-way sounds.
>>62269151
There is a difference between animate and inanimate female nouns in the accusative plural, come to think of it. We don't have a rule for it though, it's just a matter of noun classes. But the genitive corresponding with the accusative is just crazy talk.
>>62274678
So, just like those weird i and u sounds that you and Germans call e and o for some reason?
>>62274918
That's interesting. The South Slavic declension looks pretty alien compared to the West Slavic one tbqh
>>62276016
>So, just like those weird i and u sounds that you and Germans call e and o for some reason?
No idea what you're talking about. We have wide and narrow o and e and the schwa sound.
>>62276298
>wide and narrow o and e
That's what I'm talking about. They sound like weirdly pronounced i and u to me.
