Which means thank you and Moscow.

2019-09-05 16:03:27 UTC  

They have beginner knowledge but love Russia a lot.

2019-09-05 16:04:13 UTC  

Like a good amount of Ukrainians simplify it a LOT.

2019-09-05 16:04:53 UTC  

They just assume it's either too easy or too hard to constantly try correct if I had to guess.

2019-09-05 16:05:02 UTC  

@T. Raven Yes. It's confusing. The Russian cyrillic is for most part a phonetic alphabet after their reform, with the exception of their O letter, which sometimes is read as A.

2019-09-05 16:05:37 UTC  

On the end of words, O will always be read as A, as with the spasiba case.

2019-09-05 16:06:00 UTC  

But for the other ones, you need to learn the placement of acute accents.

2019-09-05 16:06:23 UTC  

Or you could just rely off other speaker's lack of knowledge on pronounciations

2019-09-05 16:06:33 UTC  

Writing in Russian is hard enough as it is

2019-09-05 16:06:36 UTC  

or you could just slur the letters together

2019-09-05 16:06:45 UTC  

All the noun endings, my lord!

2019-09-05 16:07:41 UTC  

Soft signs are easy for me, as its the same as our ć, ś, ń, etc.
But we don't really have the hard signs counterpart.

2019-09-05 16:08:02 UTC  

Wait do you have soft Ls?

2019-09-05 16:08:14 UTC  

Yes.

2019-09-05 16:08:29 UTC  

Our default L letter is that.

2019-09-05 16:08:40 UTC  

Ł is the Russian L.

2019-09-05 16:08:53 UTC  

I thought that was an English w.

2019-09-05 16:08:59 UTC  

Yeah.

2019-09-05 16:09:05 UTC  

Looks like I've been pronouncing some cities wrong?

2019-09-05 16:09:39 UTC  

Wait how does it work?

2019-09-05 16:10:01 UTC  

There is that nice site which renders each of the Polish letters in the cyrillic script, I used it heavily.

2019-09-05 16:10:47 UTC  

All of them except for Ę and Ą could be easily rendered using cyrillic.

2019-09-05 16:11:03 UTC  

cyrillized polish would be easier to understand tbh

2019-09-05 16:11:04 UTC  

Wait how is Ž represented?

2019-09-05 16:11:19 UTC  

Ж this letter.

2019-09-05 16:11:28 UTC  

Ż.

2019-09-05 16:11:57 UTC  

For Ź we use Z + soft sign.

2019-09-05 16:14:14 UTC  

@Rigmond Polish L is the Russian Ль (L + soft sign).
Polish Ł is the Russian Л (the default L), which is the same as English W in White.

2019-09-05 16:14:54 UTC  

I assume its a dialect thing as the default Russian L is often also pronounced like an L.

2019-09-05 16:15:20 UTC  

Yeah we were taught something like that in school too.

2019-09-05 16:15:36 UTC  

So this site confused me a bit.

2019-09-05 16:15:56 UTC  

They're not exactly the same, but close.

2019-09-05 16:17:46 UTC  

The only exact sound to the Polish Ł is Belarusian Ў.

2019-09-05 16:18:54 UTC  

Koўна (Kovno/Kaunas) would be Kołna I believe.

2019-09-05 17:37:18 UTC  

🤔

2019-09-05 17:37:36 UTC  

based

2019-09-05 17:38:34 UTC  

Indeed!

2019-09-05 17:45:17 UTC  

Best thing is it's actually real.

2019-09-05 17:45:19 UTC  

I just checked.
