    Can you give an example of this?

    It is more like different word order than real constant difference (like often in German).

    What I noticed is that there is so much overlap with each of the Slavic languages.
    For example:
    A town was bought/Towns were bought

    1) Czech: město bylo koupeno/města byla koupena

    2) Serbian: mesto je bilo kupljeno/mesta su bila kupljena
    (mesto means place in Serbian, rather than town)
    This was the passive past participle of the verb kupiti "to buy" in Serbian

    It is more like different word order than real constant difference (like often in German).
    All the Slavic languages have a free word order (SVO, SOV, VSO, VOS, OVS, OSV).
    The overwhelming majority of the world's languages are either SVO or SOV.

    Slovene and Lower Sorbian obviously, as they are the only Slavic languages to have retained the supine.
