The X-Files' title in other languages is so fucking funny to me for some reason. Like I decided to look it up out of curiosity bc I've been rewatching it and some of them are just incredible. Here's a list so you can get a get a load yourself:

🇫🇷 X-Files : Aux frontières du réel (X-Files: On the Borders of Reality)

🇩🇪 Akte X – Die unheimlichen Fälle des FBI (X-Files – The FBI's Uncanny Cases)

🇷🇺 Секретные материалы (Secret Materials)

🇪🇪 Salatoimikud (Secret Files)

🇷🇸 Досије икс/Dosije iks (Dossier X)

🇺🇦 Цілком таємно (Completely Secret)

🇱🇻 X-faili. Slepenās lietas (The X-Files. Secret things)

There are probably more but these are the ones that stand out the most to me

serbian/russian false friends*: verbs edition.

*false friend is an interlingual homonym, a word in a different language that sounds similar to a word in a given language, but has a different meaning.

љубити/ljubiti (to love; to kiss) - любить (to love).

играти/igrati (playing (a game)) - играти (playing a game/an instrument/a role).

слушати/slušati (to hear/to listen) - слушать (to listen).

сучествовати/sučestvovati (to participate) - существовать (to exist).

поздравити/pozdraviti (to greet) - поздравить (to congratulate). мазити/maziti (to spoil) - мазать (to smudge).

потрошити/potrošiti (to spend) - потрошить (to rip, in, like, Jake The Ripper sense).

схватити/shvatiti (to understand) - схватить (to grab).

грабити/grabiti (to grab) - грабить (to rob)

хранити/hraniti (to feed) - хранить (to save)

this is not a full list, of course, but those are the most common misunderstandings in my experience.

interesting parallel between japanese and slavic languages (probably coincidental?):

japanese 女 (on'na) - woman

czech ona ('ona) - she serbian; croatian; bosnian; polish ona ('ona) - she, it russian она (o'na) - she belarusian яна (yana) - she

I really hope Duolingo releases a course on that language spoken in Croatia, Serbia, Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina that is mutually intelligable between all of those regions. It'd be funny to see them squirm trying to figure out how to represent it.

My two cents would be to call it Serbo-Croatian, give it a new flag that mixes those two countries' national flags Austria-Hungary style or use the flag of Yugoslavia to depict it and do it in the more common latin script, or perhaps make it the first bi-script course.

Interested to hear the thoughts or feelings of others though. Beyond the meme of "funny Balkan infighting" I do think it would be really nice to see the language reach a wider audience and I personally would love to learn it if they made a course.

09.09.23 Life Update!

It has been a very long time since I updated this blog but I would like to start using it again so ill start with a quick update on my life and what's going on. The short of it is I still here and I am still learning!

two years ago I moved to Norway (again) to do my masters degree which I completed this past June! although I have been back here for 2 years, studying and working part time and life in general took up 99% of my time so learning [actively] Norwegian took quite a long pause - especially in the last 6 months where I was writing my thesis

I have at least one more year here where I hope to find a full time job! I am dedicating most of my time to Norwegian and the rest to applying for jobs

I am currently going through a breakup which has played a large role in my capacity or lack thereof in the past couple of months. I say this to say that for now I will no longer be learning Serbian because right now my main motivation no longer exists. I hope one day I can come back to it and I hope it won't be too painful but for now I have other things to focus on and thats okay.

this week I have recorded short videos (about 4 minutes) every day just talking about whatever I feel like

I also started making flash cards again focusing on the "625 most used words" - I think its been quite helpful so far as in a way it feels like im "starting over" even though that is far from the truth

I went to a language cafe today for the first time in a longggg time and probably had the easiest time speaking in comparison to times before!

my next post will hopefully be more comprehensive in what im doing and what my goals are that way I can start using this blog regularly again which is also a big part of my learning process

thanks for reading!

Having lived in Belgrade for half a year now, I started mixing not only Czech and Slovenian at my language classes but Serbian as well. And I don't even study Serbian.

hello everyone and welcome to the place that revolves only around me and my learning.

i grew up with a loving family speaking german and was first exposed to (active) language learning when i was 9 or 10. at that time my uncle came back for good after spending the past 10 years in china, what surprised us all was his girlfriend that came with him. simultaneously to that i started learning english i school as it was a mandatory part for the last year of primary school - at least at my school :3 now, almost a decade later, i am fluent in english, and know a little chinese which was deepent by a language course i took in my first year of university. for the foreseeable future, i have relocated to oslo, norway for educational purposes and am signed into a norwegian course with an overly motivated teacher. i have followed my uncle's food steps: left the country and brought a foreigner into my family. my partner and his family are the main reason why i want to learn serbo-croatian. my biggest goal and motivation is to say my wedding vows in his mother-tongue - but don't tell him that!! both of us are almost done with our bachelor's degrees, one of us in international business and the other in automotive engineering, so that's still going to take a while ;) so yeah basically i am native in german, fluent in english and learning norwegian, serbian and a little bit of chinese.

i hope you can be patient with me trying to figure out this learning journey, balancing it with my exams, thesis, travels and social life.

stay tuned and see you soon :3

ps. my uncle and his girlfriend are now married with two kids, a dog and a nice house.
