I'm pretty sure Serbs also use "Na Zdravje" too

[Gobadán-sw]

Sweet. You can see how Polish is much more influenced by Latin vocabulary due to being part of the Catholic lands.

As for Santa Claus, in Serbian when we say "Свети Никола / Sveti Nikola" we usually mean Saint Nicholas which is the most common patron saint (Slava) for so many families, celebrated in December. "Деда Мраз / Deda Mraz" is usually associated with the New Year. "Божић Бата / Božić Bata" (another name for Saint Nicholas) is usually associated with Christmas. "Година / Godina" is year in Serbian but hour in Polish while "Рок / Rok" is deadline in Serbian and year in Polish. Cheers! is "Живели / Živeli" and "Наздравље / Nazdravlje" have more meanings in Serbian cheers, may it brings luck, may it benefit health, used when congratulating and toasting and when someone sneezes (like the English bless you).

I am Bulgarian, I know Russian, Czech, good Polish, once you know these languages, you can now understand all the Slavs in the world, it would be a little difficult for me with Ukrainian.

Serbian and Polish sounds more similar in this video...

Instead of 'prezenty' you could say 'podarki' or 'podarunki' in Polish. Instead of 'szczęśliwego nowego roku' you could say 'szczodrych godów' if you prefer older traditions.

[Антон-жяя]

Cheers in Belarusian - Будзьма! (Budźma!) which means 'Let's be...' (healthy i guess).

O, nawet Pan z tego kanału o Rosji tu jest 🙂
Miło tu Pana widzieć 🙂 Pozdrawiam z Francji.

Just a pity Slavic countries have to fight each other still.

[gnomo.mágico]

Prezenty in Polish is almost like Presente in Portuguese. Latin influence. The maybe be some Latin influence due to the Catholic church. I think it has some influence.

Super kolega Polak, ma swój własny kanał "wmatrioszce"

[samsungJ-qtlw]

Вы молодцы, что придумали эти сюжеты!) Я знаю русский и украинский. Сейчас учу хорватский. В славянских языках действительно очень много общего, чем дальше учишь, тем больше наслаждаешься❤

[antondedlovskii]

Поздравляю с Новым Годом, желаю чтобы все планы и мечты сбывались, ура!!

[ibrahimdihum]

Happy New year to you and Merry Christmas to you 🎉

[Csakbetksszmok]

The Polish guy was actually the only one saying Santa Claus: why are you looking to him that way?! : O

[nevenaradic]

Na zdravlje Yes, it is possible in Serbia too. Živeli 🥂🇷🇸

[АндрейТерлецкий-жх]
