Thank you for making a video about our countries which are not very well known in the world, i really appreciate it🙂
But why did your two countries divorce ?
@@pietrojenkins6901 Mostly for practical reasons.Each have their own budgets, own monetary systems + currencies, own governments both federal and local, own laws and responsibilities , own foreign policies etc... Sort of like when two brothers grow up in the same household together but then one day decide to part their ways because its better for both ... for practical reasons ;)
@@pietrojenkins6901 In fact, there are some similar (not identical!) reasons that exist between the Germans and Austrians ...
@@pietrojenkins6901 I also do not understand why Canada and US is not one country :-)
Jses Čech??? Tak mluv cesky!!!
As a Slovak I agree with most of what you said, however I think it needs to be said that there's a big difference in mentality of people between the capital and rest of the country, and that goes for both countries. Probably for most countries in the world actually...
Hlavné mesto je obývané pristášmi z celej republiky zo všetkých jej kútov (západ stred aj východ cca (1:1:1) ktorí tvoria viac ako 2/3 celej populácie hl. mesta, ty mentalita xD
Not only between the capital and the rest, but also between the west and the east, between the north and the south, between bigger cities and smaller cities, between cities and rural areas, between various ethnical and cultural subregions etc.
I agree. People in Bratislava are mentally different from most of Slovakia. In Bratislava, moreover, everyone thinks that the whole country belongs to them and they are more arrogant and conceited.
@@majko141 same here with Prague

Love to both Czechia and Slovakia from Croatia, our slavic brothers! 🇭🇷❤️🇨🇿🇸🇰
Pan-Slavism is nonsence... wake up
@@mortis7851 the fact that our language has the same basis does not mean that you have to spread stupid Russian fabrications
Our roots approaches more to the Germans and Austrians than to the Slavic countries. But anyways, I don’t feel neither German nore Slavic, I’am Czech and i don’t want to be compared to German’s that occupied us in the same way like some Slavic countries. Thank’s for understanding and have a nice day.
@@smelkok6509 Exactly I would just like to add that even in some periods we were not the friendliest guys to the eastern neighbors
Love that all slavic nationalities love each others
I don't agree that much with that folklore part... I guess in Prague and overall in Bohemia they are not that traditionally and ethnically oriented... But here, in Moravia, around the towns like Zlín, Kroměříž etc., there is a huge folklore aspect of life with many folklore festivals (also the folklore is basically the same with the Slovak folklore).
Yeah Kromeriz, Holesov we all luv folclore from the bottom of our hearts. And drinking slivovica makes us happy too you know. The folk costumes are huuge part of our national tradition that surely will live through centuries
I would say that Moravia is the true Czechoslovakia. When I go to Zlin, I feel like in a Slovakian town, but it also have the feeling of Pepanland
Plus southern and south-western Bohemia (Domažlice, Třeboň, Tábor) - Prague is simply a city with people all over the republic and the original population there is lost and most parts of Bohemia have lost their German inahabitants after the WW2 with a lot of newcommers in 50s, so it is hart to keep some cultural heritage there.
Also we can mention our traditional UNESCO men dance called Verbuňk. Who has dance in UNESCO list? Us…
Hlučínsko is very much about folklore
I'm from Bosnia and Herzegovina and like Slovakia. 🇧🇦🇧🇦🇧🇦🇸🇰🇸🇰🇸🇰
Like Bosnia and Herzegovina :)
A small correction, and an interesting fact: Svíčková would likely not translate as "candle sauce". The actual translation would likely be "beef tenderloin sauce" or "fillet sauce", as it is named after the beef part that is used for its preparation. The full name of this dish is "svíčková na smětaně" which literally translates to "beef tenderloin on cream".
The confusion arises from the beef part being named after a candle ("svíčka" -> "Svíčková") and etymological speculations about the dish maybe being named after it being eaten during the traditional journeymen's candlelight dinners.
I've read that i's called svickova because it looks like a lighted candle. It's a cone and it's cuts are butt, the center-cut, and the tail.
@@boredinczechia4382 That is likely why the MEAT part is named "svíčková" in Czech, yeah.
However, the meal is named after the meat, not the candle, so it makes much more sense to translate the meal based on how the meat from which it is made is called in English. As the meal is literally named " 'this type of meat' on cream".
@@davidkrcil9326 yep, you are correct I wanted to write the very same thing but then seen your comment and just added one possible reason why tenderloin is called svíčková in Czech.
Yeah. I didn't know if I should laugh or cry, when I heard candle sauce.
Tak už alespoň vim, proč se to jmenuje svíčková😂
great people! both czechs and slovaks. pozdravy iz Hrvatske !
I’m Polish with partially Slovak roots from mother’s side. I love both countries and cesnakova polievka which tasts the best in Slovakia 👌🏻

Love Czech Republic and Slovakia from Vietnam 🇻🇳💖🇨🇿🇸🇰(When you were Czechslovakia, you support us)
As a Polish I have to say that Slovaks are almost the same like the Polish people but less noisy and more kind and polite in my opinion. They are also keep smiling more than the people in Poland. And thahks God that our languages are actually mutual. 🙂
Polish people are grumpy because Germans and Russians beat them badly throughout history.
c'mon our languages are indeed similar and related, they are not that mutual
I`m a Slovak living in Japan and my best friend here is Polish. We saw each other across the cafeteria on the first day at university and immediately knew we were both Slavic, lol. But sandly we don`t understand each other`s language so we speak in Japanese. must be funny for japanese people, like "why are two white people talking to each other in Japanese?" lol
It is true
Me as a Slovak tend to find the biggest difference in the mentality of the two nations. Czechs are much more reserved and controlled in their behaviour, which is definitely a sign of a strong influence from Germany and Austria, while the Slovaks are much more emotional and unpolished in terms of our behavour. And there's one more thing that I noticed during long years of collaboration with Czech people in my field of expertise (I work in marketing): the Czechs tend to speak A LOT about the work, instead of focusing on doing the work itself. This is not something to undermine Czech work mentality, don't get me wrong. But many times during endless 3-4 hour meetings with Czech colleagues, me and my Slovak pals were just looking at ourselves like: "ok, when do we actually start working?" :)
hahaha! :D its good !
co trepes
Dobre! Pozdrowienia z Polski
Thats also a cultural trait coming from Germany and Austria. We tend to spend hours creating systems and planning how to do the work to be perfect, while Slovaks just jump into it and plan on the road. Both have pros and cons. I have problems with this, because sometimes I overthink too much about doing something, that i end up not doing it enough.
Its also coming from economical differences - Czechia for centuries was based around industry, while Slovakia around agriculture. So Czechs had to use a lot of theory, planning, preparation and Slovaks just woke up and went working. Also as video says, Czechs are more stoic, reserved thinkers while Slovaks are more spontaineos, warm.
@@Aggoenix that makes sense, actually. However, what I was referring to, was not really about Czechs being meticuluous and detail-oriented (which they are, definitely), but about their tendency to waste much time by just talking about a problem, instead of working on it, sometimes :)
I loved both countries. Czech people were more reserved, though they were nice and certainly not unfriendly when you show yourself polite and interested in them. Chezhs were more nice than average but Slovaks were off the charts when it comes to being nice. Slovaks were amazingly generous and friendly. I found it the most hospitable country I had visited in the past two decades. Those people went out of their way to take a tourist like me to places and show her their country, for no charge, just to be nice.
you were lucky
I agree with you. I just love the Slovaks and I am lucky to be married to a Slovak woman! ❤️
As less visitors you have, as better you treat them. If there are too many, you get annoyed of them.
@@BackSeatHump no need to love any nationality. People r stupid everywhere
bruh we hopped in to see Bratislava on the way to Brno and it was fkin GTA... on the way back we went around it... their barbaric ways make me not so proud of my Slovak ancestry
I’m glad you pointed out that Slovaks have a distinct lack of political ‘correctness’ I lived there for a relatively short time, but I noticed that, too! It was very similar to my own country of Australia in that respect. I loved it!
Australians are super politically correct like the rest of Anglo countries.
As a Slovak I must agree 👍. Political correctness, feminism and sexism are a joke in my country. Hope it will stay that way. 🙏
Czechia is like that aswell, except for Prague.
Do you say "Cunt" as much as we say "jebať"?
@@Ballin4Vengeance personally, I don’t. Although it is a common term of endearment in Australia!

We love you also Ukraine ❤️👌🏻
Thanks, also greetings from Slovakia.
We have small company and we have invoicer (fakturantku) a woman from Ukraine i think she is from the russian border (she speaks russian and not ukraine). She is in Czechia since she was 16y old, she speeks perfectly czech and she is the cooles girl, she is insane i love her!
@@DaweSlayer Just because she speaks Russian doesn't mean she's not from Ukraine
@@akolyt I wrote she is from Ukraine. The part where they speak russian. Well they will speak russian everywhere now (we all).
As a Hungarian who regularly visit both countries I'd like to highlight that Slovakia and Czech Republic (i know they dislike the new official name Czechia) are top destinations for families. Compared to other countries in the region they offer way more activities for kids and there are also hundreds of family-friendly restaurants and cafés with small playgrounds, even in smaller towns. The traditional dishes are also very nice with svíčková and bryndzové halušky being my favourites. The fact that goulash is a stew there is a bit weird for me, but its also great :)
Greetings from Hungary!
wait czechia is official? i didnt know that and i am from czech republic :D
@@Gabiman66 It's official in English since 2016.
@@Sergiovision Oh hell nah… :( sounds like ikea and check had a kid
We were Czechia even when no Czech Republic existed. :-) As well as Slovakia was allways Slovakia, even when it was called Felvidék. Czechia has a long history while Czech Republic is very new and young. Czechia is our country, Czech Republic is its current legal form.
I am a Slovak and I once ate goulash in Czechia. If they didn't say it was goulash I wouldn't even recognise it. It was more on the sweet side and it wasn't spicy at all. It was rather creamy. Czech cuisine doesn't use spices at all. Meanwhile in Slovakia, with the exception of the northmost regions, we like our goulash oily and spicy. It's more similar to the Hungarian one.
Im studying Medicine in Martin, Slovakia as an Icelander. I agree with a lot of your list.

I'm Polish and I identify with most things you said about Slovaks. But I like both our neighbours equally.
That's a big misunderstanding with that patriotism. The Czechs do not express it very openly because they do not seem to take anything seriously, but when it comes down to it, various ethno-centric and defensive thinking, taking care of what will happen and what it will mean for you, is quite big there.

As a Slovak living in the Czech Republic for 7 years, I have to tell you You're on point about the fashion and I actually love Czechia for this lol. Of course people still try to present nicely and wear clean clothes etc, but I just realized at some point thst I never stress so much about my looks anymore, as I used to. I used to wear makeup to a grocery store. Now I just put oj some sweatpants, messy bun and a hoodie and I go, and to be honest, I love that. Life is too short to stress about your fashion that much
I have eaten haluski here in Finland and it tastes good. Greetings from Finland!:-) Terveisiä Suomesta!:-)

Kiitos from czechia ♥
You made a great video!❤️ But I am kinda sad that it was mainly about comparing Bohemia (Czech Republic) and Slovakia. I am from South Moravia (Czech Republic) and cannot really relate to the points with folklore and culture - in those 2 I feel more familiar with Slovaks. Furthermore, I am from wine region Znojmo, and people here are more into wine than beer - the same would be in Mikulov and Slovacko. 🥂 But overall, you did a good job, thank you so much for the video! ❤️
I'm from Slovácko and I completely agree with you.
je to pravda, co se týče folklóru tady v Praze to je používané max v marketingu což je podle mě škoda protože pak půlka země přichází o velkou část kultury
As Ivan Mládek sang: Znojmo, Znojmo, I see you twice. I already know what he meant........ South Moravia is 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Moravania sú iný národ ako Česi aj iný národ ako Slováci. Tak isto Slezania. Lenže sa postupne počešťujú kvôli spoločnému spisovnému jazyku s Čechmi, deti sa to tak v škole učia.

A great video, a great job! Thank you very much! You refer to a very interesting topic and people always ask a Check or a Slovak when meeting them about a similarity and differences between the two neighbouring countries and even why Chechoslovakia had split. You explain the differences perfectly. I dare express my preference, respecting both nations, for Slovakia.
Very nice comparing. :D
You can try to go to Moravia (not only Brno please xD but I recommend - Olomouc, Pálava, Rožnov pod Radhoštěm, Zlín...
Cuz the moravians have a more few things in common with slovakia,then the rest of czechs. We are more traditional (you need to visit in summer cuz of Hody which is event that a lot of cities and villages are doing with traditional folk dresses and music). we have drink Slivovica and actually before Czech kingdom there were Great Moravian Empire, where the center was in the border of cz and sk. In this era became this area christianized and it had border from now germany to now hungary. And because of Hungarians that came here from asia and destroyed this empire, the city of Olomouc was more in the west, so it don't get destroyed and now thrived. So soon the king of the cz kingdom choose Olomouc for the center of moravia.
🇨🇿🇨🇿🇨🇿👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Vino ,Slivovicu a Frgale mate Top na Morave🙂
Don't forget Czechia Is not just Praque... Brno could be more "Slovak" according to some points in this video :D Not even talking Ostrava or villages. But I know it Is hard. And Why you said "presidential photo"? This Is elegant Slovakien prezident! Otherwise cool video! 😊 I would not expect a foreigner to notice And Explain these differences So well! Proud, fashionable Czech girl with a lot of national pride And no political correctness sending love to you And our Slovak brothers :* ❤️
Zuzana caputova is very likeable politician. Reminds me of Havel.
Am also one proud czech woman, traditional, w a passion for fashion and much of national pride for my Mother country!🇨🇿🇨🇿🇨🇿 ❤❤
no Moravians are not "like Slovaks" they are like a buffer zone between Czechs and Slovaks. They are more Czech-like from the Slovak perspective and more Slovak-like from the Czech perspective. But definitely culturally closer to Czechs than Slovaks.
@@Mrkva22296 I agree, I said "according to some points", cuz He made Some specific "distinctions"
Interesting. Great video! I’m of part Czech decent (I am American). Part of my family came from the Little Bohemia neighborhood in NYC. I would love to learn more about the Czech and Slovak cultures. I definitely want to visit there someday.

Hello! Greetings from TEXAS! I lived in Europe for several years, mainly in Sweden and in Germany. During my time in Europe, I visited several European countries, including the Czech Republic and Slovakia. I enjoyed my time in both countries!!
I like slovakian people. Calm, friendly, open minded people. And they have Horkýže Slíže :D
why r u saying all slovaks are calm and friendly. if it was true slovakia would be an ideal country
you will find a lot of rude people here just like in every country
@@craftah it's not an universal declaration. one can find rude people everywhere. you should know that this was my opinion, that's all. I prefer think this. and, my comment's main point was the music band. and it's still stands 😃
@@KilmerTrotter ok
Well Czechs are more open minded. Slovaks are less conservative than Poles or Hungarians, but they are more conservative than Czechs. Czechs are atheists and tend to be quite liberal, for example we are one of like 4 countries in EU who decriminalized drugs and people are more open to lgb ppl, Slovaks are a bit more traditional/christian values. Czechs are often said to be slavic Germans. Liberal, reserved, technological, non religious, focused on cars, IT and industry
On the Czech patriotism. We do not show our national pride that easily off. It is another aspect that I like. Our national pride is something more personal, intimate.
Yeah, the czech patriotism is very hidden. As a chech-polish person i can tell if there is a hypothetical national crisis, the average Czech would sit it out with a beer in hand in his favourite pub. The Pole would rather riot in the streets in the name of god with saber in hand. Maybe the first approach is smarter, but nothing to be mentioned in the big book of history.
Well said. We can joke about it, but down, deep down, hidden behind all the daily life stuff, it sure is there.
@@BughunterX in the name of god never ;D
I thought you had a lot of national pride when I talked to various Czechs. It is not like you would rudely brag or anything, however. But generally a great deal of pride in your freedom and entrepreneurship. You just do not carry on to the tourists, because tourists are typically further left than you are and don't like talk about freedom as much as you do. They mostly do not understand.
The waves are the sharpest in the shallows, ethnic affections are strongest among those nations whose national identity is threatened. The decline of zealous nationalism means that the nation has matured and found its identity and security.
I have a good grasp on Slovak and Im studying Czech on duolingual and I've always wanted to learn more about the 2 countries, prior to the separation 31 years ago, this video was very informative! Thank you very much!
Greetings to our Slavic brothers from Serbia

This is very helpful ahead of my planned trip through Czechia and Slovakia next month. Děkuji/Ďakujem!
I am African, precisely Angolan, I grew there and in the middle of my 20's i came to Europe and have been here so far, I like the country i am living, but for some years ago i have found some interest on the eastern European countries such as Poland, because of documentaries and films with english subtitles, through Poland, i got to know little bit about Czech and now Slovakia, i find them even more attractive than the countries here in the center of Europe, but of course for us africans we feel a little more comfortable here just because of the languages we acquired because of the stupid colonization time. I wish to visit these countries one day and hope the racism is not a reason to make me stop liking you, your histories are incredible and the countries so beautiful.
Please, if you visit, do not mistake looks for racism. I am certain there are racist in both countries, as everywhere in thr world, however they are in a minority and I honestly never met one in person that I know of.
If you visit CZ/SK as a black person, you might get some weird looks outside of the large cities, since the people are not used to seeing people of different colors, and if so, mainly just Asian people. I dare to say most senior citizens in rural aeas or small towns have seen a black person maybe once or twice in their life, if even that. Therefore if they look at you, it's 99% out of curiosity, not with a bad intention. Everyone I know os welcoming to black people here and I hope you get to visit one day and enjoy it here!
Both are great Countries and nations with love and respect from Lithuania.
very positive attitude, love it. visited both and I agree on the points. yeah and Bratislava is beautifully and a bit underrated for sure.
great video but just a small correction, some eastern slovaks have some ukrainian/ rusyn(ruthenian) blood not russian.

Nice video Gus, i agree with your points. Although i would add, that German surnames are typical here in Slovakia as well.

yes they are but no where near as common as in the czech republic.
@@Sikt oh it sounds so surreal. I wish my schoolmates surname was Jagdtiger
@@lionheart5078 Yeah, could be. I am from the region, where towns and villages were German in the past. In Czechia there were sudets, which were quite big, so thats why it is more prevalent.
@@TheDado512 the Czech Republic was essentially a part of the Holy Roman Empire and Austria for centuries. Slovaks we’re with Hungarians for 1000 years. Of course Slovakia also had German villages and colonists, but the level wasn’t nearly as high as it was in Czechia.
beard looks good on you mate. keep it that way
Although many Czechs thinks that because of word's simillarity, svíčková doesn't mean candle sauce, it means tenderlion. The original name of the dish is tenderlion in cream sauce. Candle in Czech is svíčka, so this is why many people think the dish is named after candle.
exactly, the name svíčková refers about the meat not the sauce, which is called just cream sauce
Yoe are so on the point! Well done vid👌
As a Slovak I have to say that I love Czechoia and Moravia and these small diferencies between us. Many friends in Czech R./Czechia and I agreevwith your comments.
Czechoslovakia, in fact neither the Czech Republic nor Slovakia are located geografically in Eastern Europe. CENTRAL EUROPE! Strike one!
Yep, exactly...probably did nôt have good or educationaly qualified teachers of Geography 😁
I agree but most people look at it like eastern Europe and western Europe with no “central” in their vocabulary

Can't believe that guy called it "candlesauce". Svíčková means sirloin(sauce).
I thought exactly the same :D
because svíčka is word for a candle and u know it very well, altogh some people dont know the word in english because its called after the part of meat which it is made from and thatis also svíčka it is called like that because the part looks like a flam on candle. so dont exagerate with "i cant belive "

I'm from Slovakia and lived in Czechia for 7 years, but only thanks to you realized the thing around fashion :D I liked it more in CR where noone cared... and I wish that "religion has no influence in ordinary lives in Slovakia" The Church has great influence on our government and laws unfortunately
Are you woke degenerate or what?
I don't like religion, but when I look at today world. I'm gratefull for it.
This was very interesting. My uncle was Slovak and we have a large Slovak population so this explains a lot how they acted.
I'm a Dutchman and my boyfriend is Dutch-Slovak and raised bilingually. He's my interpreter when we're in either Czech Republic or in Slovakia. In my experience, the Slovaks are easier accessible, friendlier, a tad warmer. The Czechs are more reserved.
However, the Czechs love it when foreigners speak their language. My boyfriend speaks broken Czech and his Slovak is okay; his Dutch is obviously the more dominant of his two native tongues. But every time I notice how much the Czechs open up when they hear someone speak in Czech.
One time we got a guided tour, at Moser glass factory in Karlovy Vary. The lady who gave the tour, initially thought we were German. I guess that in Czech ears Dutch and German really sound alike. This lady even spoke to me in German and when she learnt that my German is quite shitty (it's quite rusty, it's a language I didn't maintain well after high school was over) and that I'm Dutch; "Nizozemsko Pánska! Nejsem Němec!" (LOL) This lady defrosted at once, she was welcoming, cheerful, and really friendly. Certainly when my boyfriend started talking in his Czech-Slovak mix. We even got to see some special things which were usually not included in the guided tour.
I was especially charmed by the friendly and down to earth Slovaks.
Glad you did not experience any homophobia in Slovakia. From what I know they are regressive when it comes to LGBT stuff.
@@cungzjohnjohn122 Well there is only one way to truly find it out. Go there and experience it
Perhaps. The only thing is I dont have much money..heheheh
Some Czechs still don't like Germans and yes, German and Dutch do sound very similar to us.
As a Czech person, I must say: a really good observation!
Love Czechoslovakia 🇨🇿 From the USA 🇺🇸
I love USA. God bless you country. Greetings from CZ 🇨🇿🇺🇸
Gripping video! You decribided it quite accurate, thanks !
Wonderful video!!! Thanks a lot again.
My great great grandparents came to America in 1870 from Brno, Moravia in what was then Austria. I am American, my grandmother is the third generation of fully Czech descent. She passed away in 2019.
I like Slovakia, I would visit the country one day
Thanks for the insight!
I am half Czech and Slovak American. My relatives fought in the Resistance and my grandfather was in Bratsky Vestnik and knew Czechoslovakian President Edward Benes.
Thats great. Benes is turning in the grave seeing what they are doing to our both countries ecomomy today! Colonisation is a terrible thing. Bratsky vestnik needs start writing again. Your grandfather it seems fought for nothing.
@@SlovJena They sold life insurance and they sold out to Better Life and cashed out lodge life insurance policies on the 100th anniversary of the Armistice.
I'm from the Czech republic and I think you are right. Slovaks are pretty much the same. We have a lot of Slovak people here but I usually don't realize they are not Czechs.
I love Central European countries. They aren't woke. Central and Eastern Europe are the future of Europe.
Finally somebody cut to the bottom of the problem ... however, I have to disappoint you, Czechia has become much more woke compared to Slovakia over the past decade. Its sad but true. Still not as bad as US or Canada or Germany.
Them you really need to sort out your priorities. Having virtually no laws against lgbt discrimination is better than persecuing people for homophobia?
Long live Eastern Europe and Slavs.
@@krakatit7730 Czechia is definitely not woke, although there are woke people too.
@@krakatit7730 there are always many people that will prevent us from becoming hardcore woke do not be afraid ma'am
I visited both Countries like two weeks ago and I was Impressed by the Fashion of Slovak woman. I Loved the Tatra Mountains and tea😄. From Czech Republic, I was amazed at the Architecture 😍 and diversity ,such both beautiful countries.
Slovaks have the most beautiful womens in the Europe :)
I like both countries ❤️... greetings from Croatia.
Aj my milujeme Chorvatsko🧡

@@stanislavsojakss I like tourists from Czechia and Slovakia, but you often underestimate the dangers of the Croatian sea and mountains, so our mountain rescue service (HGSS) have a lot of work in the summer months.

Great video! Just came back to Canada after visiting both countries.
Definitely Slovaks (Bratislava) have a better sense of fashion than Czech.
thanks! it doesn’t change the fact that Czechoslovakia was part of the Eastern Bloc from 1948-1989, which was what I said
@@gus1thego All good! Just that they are sensitive about being referred as Eastern European.
@@rox8888 for sure, it’s definitely central Europe both countries
central europe ends somewhere behind Pardubice, more to east is already asia 🙂
We Czechs simply do not care about fashion and that is what I like. Nobody will judge you for what your fashion is. No one. And that is pretty original not only in Europe. Czechs are informal in general. That is what I like. Live and let live. Nobody will bother you for your style unlike in many other countries where people will judge you just based on your clothes, that is pretty narrow minded in my opinion.
Nice Video !
I live abroad and I have a lot of Czech friends here, I'm very happy to have a similar language, good people.🇸🇰❤️🇨🇿
Amazing! Me as a Serb living in Brno Czech republic, everything you said its 100% true, its like i hear my self telling the differences!
Just the night life its not so good as you say :)
Blago tebi! Češka, nadam se se posetiti jedan dan.
@@masterblaster848 Prelepa zemlja, ljudi nisu bas za nas Balkanski mentalitet. Prag, Brno, Karlovy Vary su gradovi koje treba posetiti. Piva, izbegavaj piva koja imaju u nazivu Staro, StaroPramen, StaroBrno... nisu nista posebna, bolje Pilsner, jeste malo skuplji od drugih ali bolje pivo od Pilsnera neces piti nigde! Inace dosta ljudi i vari ovde, zakoni su opusteni, prolece/leto su najbolji za posete.
I am Czech and I tend to think that Slovak girls are more beautiful in general and indeed more fashionable
Let the fight begin
Ja ja Deutsche mögen es sehr, wenn die Brüdernationen gegenseitig zoffen, oda? :D
great video, i think, you did it right :)
I have been to both countries several times, the Czechs are more liberal and the Slovaks more conservative. For the Czechs, I would say that they are Slavic Germans, hardworking and cheerful people. Slovaks are more similar in mentality to southern Slavs, primarily Slovenians and northern Croats. In any case, very good people and interesting countries. Greetings from Adriatic coast!❤
fun fact: Horní translates to upper, and Police can be translated to shelf soooo yeah that villages name is stil ridiculous
A nice and true comparison. I am a Slovak and I wll add one more difference. For children (and people generally) in Slovakia Czech language is not a classical foreign language. Slovakia is mountainous country and therefore terrestrial broadcasting of TV is quite poor. Therefore almost every family in Slovakia has either satellite or cable TV. And since dividing of Czechoslovakia in 1993 Czech TV channels are obligatory part of Slovak broadcasting firms. Reason is simple: without Czech channel no Slovaks would be interested in any offer. Reason si partly in the past, when Czech Republic had 1 commercial TV channel 4 years earlier than Slovakia. But more important reason is much more channels in offer. So in Slovakia you can have about 100 channels and maybe 2 thirds are in Czech language. But no Slovak has problem do understand Czech, because they the follow movies and fairy-tales from the moment, they are able to follow TV (maybe 2 years of age). I can say a strange and paradoxical sentence, that during existence of Czechoslovakia the Czech language had been more "exotic" language than after dividing of Czechoslovakia. Reason is simple. During Czechoslovakia there were just 2 TV channels - 1 was federal (some programs were in Slovak and some in Czech language) and the second one was national. Now Slovaks have tens Czech channels.
In Czech Republic it is completely different. Slovak channels are not offered in broadcasting companies as a standard, so contact Czech people with Slovak language is much more rare.
Je to škoda, že tu nemáme žádné pořady ve slovenštině.
Souhlasím .
@@teva9659 My doma telku vôbec nesledujeme. Len internet a to máme už dosť rokov. Všetko internet. Na YT je tých relácií až, až. Len treba si vybrať. Ja si vôbec neuvedomujem v akom jazyku to ide. Pozdravujem bratov čechov moravanov aj slezanov.
The contant that Czechs have with Slovak is not that rare. That’s mostly what old people say, because they only know 1 media format - TV. But online young Czechs come into contact with Slovak very often. The Czechs and the Slovaks are basically one online community. And Slovak music is also very important here. I can’t really imagine a Czech that wouldn’t understand Slovak (except for a few words).
U nás jsme vždycky pár kanálů ve slovenštině měli. Nějaký různý Joj a možná ještě něco.
Such a fun and informative video!!
super entertaining and surprisingly factual, thanks buddy,also love the Nordic accent
I like Czech Republic and Slovakia from Nepal
Greets Mr.Santos from CZ!
Greetings from SK.
You completely missed out the nature dude! :D Slovakia has far diverse nature than Czechia. Their Tatra mountains can speak for itself, but in CZ we have much smaller mountains , which our highest are Krkonoše. Othervise, really thank you for uch great video, as an Czech, I really appreciate it and also, greetings from czech Republic, zdravím na Slovensko!!! :)
Thats quite common saying - Czechs have better cities, Slovaks have better nature. I almost miss Czechoslovakia because it had both :D
But from what i know, Czechia has small mountains on all borders, while Slovakia has high mountains in the center.

Well done ✅
The West Slavic languages are a subdivision of the Slavic language group. They include Polish, Czech, Slovak, Kashubian, Upper Sorbian and Lower Sorbian. The languages are spoken across a continuous region encompassing the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Poland as well as the former East Germany and the westernmost regions of Ukraine and Belarus (and into Lithuania).
Also Slavic languages: Russian, Ukrainian, and Belorussian to the east and Slovenian, Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian, Macedonian, and Bulgarian to the south.

@@Hellmood_CZ I wish you to find the peace with russian nation. It is possible, like it was possible between anglo-saxon nations… The killed each other before WWII long time , but they have started to built the normal relations in 50’ s. It was started through christians politics like Schumann, De Gaulle, Adenauer …
As a Russian I absolutely agree with hate to Russia.
Biggest difference is that in Czech republic is metro
To be honest i sometimes jelues on our brothers from czech. They are most know in the world and thats kinda hurting Slovakia because as you said if thinks like tatras would be in czech they would be more know. And i think Slovakia have the beautifules country in the world.
There are pros and cons to being known world wide for sure but being a small and not well known country with lots of hidden gems is exactly what some people are looking for.
You have alot to be proud of your country for Slovak after all you were part of the Hungarian kingdom! Hungarians will always be more pro-Slovak then Czechia because we are a closer people.
As Slovak who lives in Spain I like that Slovakia doesn't have much turism. I enjoy it every summer for one month. Spain is horrible in summer, winther , always full of turism....Every year I still hope nobody discovers Slovakia and will be forever quiet and without turism and emigration.
@@martinatverdakova2500 honestly I would trade the peace for economy but I understand your point
I think what you said fitted more bohemia. You should visit moravia, we are just basicaly half czech, quarter austrian and quarter slovak. A perfect mix
Good job !
