Russian VS Belarusian VS Ukrainian VS Serbian : basic phrases

There are three groups of Slavic languages :
West Slavic (Czech, Polish, Slovak)
East Slavic (Russian, Belarusian, Ukrainian)
South Slavic (Slovenian, Serbian, Macedonian, Bulgarian, Croatian)

Let's found out how similar basic phrases are!

Serb: "ciao"
Other Slavs: *look of disbelief*

My mom was born in US in 1921 and her first language was Czech, then she learned English in first grade. We went to Europe and she was able to communicate with Slavs from other countries by going slow. Once, in 1985, I was on a ski lift at Mammoth Lake, CA and a Czech young person was on the ski lift w me. When I spoke to her in the Czech my mom taught me, she said: "I feel like I am speaking to someone from 1890." Maybe the languages have evolved a lot but I must say it makes your videos so fascinating for me. She was very proud to be Slavic and I grew up aware of Slavic things and accomplishments most Americans don't have a clue about. Thank you for bringing that culture back to me. I love your work and research and experiences and admire what you are doing greatly.

Serbian formal for goodbye is "Dovidjenja", similar to Polish "Do widzenia"

Nice that you keep friendship in this times.

[Tiggster-qrmw]

Russian, Belarusian, and Ukrainian are east slavic, while Serbo-Croatian is south slavic. Different branches so there’s going to be some diverging.

We like to use in Serbia, but in Bosnia and all over former Yugoslavia, Italian Ciao, as non formal way of saying hello, goodbye, but we have original Slavic words for this words to; from Zdravo-Здраво to Pozdrav-Поздрав, Prijatno-Пријатно, Vidimo se-Видимо се and very formal Zbogom-Збогом or Dovidjenja-Довиђења.
All this expressions are correct, and if you use any of these one, people will understand, it is only how common people use some expression in everyday conversation, determines the use of same.

In Serbian, "bye" is said "збогом" (stay/go with god) or "поздрав" (be healthy until the next time).

У меня в Норвегии в школе одноклассница сербка была, с этим "чао", я тоже по началу думал что она прикалывается)

The last one "Bye" in Russian is "Do svidania" or " Do vstrechi" , and the most common "PokA ( for friends and family only) "
