Can slavs understand each other without translate?

[Blondie]

I'm curious for that:

Can poles understand russians or serbs or bulgarians?

Can serbs understand bulgarians or russians?

Can bulgarians understand czechs or slovaks?

Can croats understand russians or ukrainians?

[Vojnik]

I can understand Serbo-Croatian and Bulgarian to an extent without translation. But, Russian and Polish, no.

[Ülev]

I can understand Macedonian till I start laughing due to hilarious words of your language.

I can understand Slovenian in the way I know what they are saying, but could never repeat after them.

Very Basic Bulgarian,

Serbian, Bosnian, Montenegrin, Croatian very similar can understand them.

Other Slavic languages I can't understand, they are very different.

[Kaspias]

I can understand 80% of Bulgarian and 50% of Macedonian. Others, no.

ja sam ponosan - in South Slavic languages means - I am proud, but in Russian - Ponos - diarrhea

uroda in polish- beauty, in russian urod - monster

czerstwy in polish - non fresh/stale, in czech language čerstvý - fresh

etc.

Yeah yeah haha very funny.

Which language do you understand more. Macedonian or Slovenian? You are pretty much equal distance away from those native speakers geographically.

[Satem]

Not really. We may use some similar words, but in the sentences they can sound a bit different and it's almost impossible to understand.

I get the joke. It's funny. But in Macedonian it is "Jas sum gord".
