When the water levels are lower (due to lack of recent rainfall) the water flows back into the underground caves and the lake shrinks and finaly disapears.

      We have the same joy for mountaineering, drink wine and Schnaps and enjoy dancing Polkas to the Oberkrainer-style music with the Steirische. And it could be possible, that they were formally a western slavic tribe, since the Czechs also have the same destinies for drinking Beer and dancing to Polkas. ^^

    I'm a Brit living in Slovenia, and oh boy the difficulties for people learning the language... yeah.. tell me about it... It makes you feel especially stupid when like you said 2-3 languages for everyone. The weird thing is it depends which border is the closest to you as to what the 3rd language is... Near Italy? Italian it is! Near Austria? Slide into German! etc. The introduction of a 3rd language of English across the country I’ve found is usually dependent on the age/ generation gap (which with their history makes sense). If someone is under 35 you’ve got about a 90% chance that they speak English. Over 35 is a bit hit and miss.
    Food is great, wine is fantastic (although other spirits made at home are fun. Got given a home-made bottle with a sticker that said 24%-49% alcohol they didn’t know exactly), and if you start your day early enough you can wake up in the flat farming plains of Europe, go skiing and sunbathing on the coast all in the same day... which is just stupid...
    The traditions parts you mentioned were a little off from what I've learnt. Each valley (YES VALLEY!!!) has its own traditions and at times language (yes tell me about it); the 212 municipalities give you an idea. The 3-day birth of a child party for example is 1 day where I am based. At weddings it's tradition in some parts for the father of the groom to provide a wheelbarrow (or modern-day trolley) filled with multiple gifts for the mother of the bride but not anywhere else in the country. Traditionally these would-be things like fruits, vegetables (farming powerhouse tractor reference coming through) and alcohol... lots of that.
    If anyone does read this and wants to ask for experiences feel free 😊 Most of them are amazing 😉

The people are great, food and wine is awesome, the language differences across the country are highly annoying though. I am not the best at languages, so Slovene is a real challenge to me (but i do keep trying!), however with full time employment and a small child, time is limited. Therefore finding out certain words i learn don't apply in other areas of the country annoys me to no end!

    As an Austrian, I feel culturally more affiliated to Slovenia than Germany or Switzerland. Despite the common language, and entertainment market, we don’t have so many things in common with D and CH.
    Slovenia has many caves and similar landscapes but sunnier, they love wine, they drink schnapps and keep bees, just like we do. Similar dishes. The accordion is so typical for both of our countries, and I think our mindsets must be alike too.

      It's "nationalism" that made language the foundation of identity, when it's the least important. We share a thousand years of history, a common culture and blood. As far as I'm concerned, there is no border between Austria and Slovenia.

      @Lydia Köffler Slovenes were loyal to Austria, even at the height of nationalism in the early 20th century. Carinthian Slovenes voted to stay in Austria rather than join the Pan-Slavic state of Yugoslovia and the rest of Slovenes would've voted the same given the chance. Slovene lands were Innerösterreich, after all.

In Carinthia most names of places have Windisch origins, you venerate Windisch Saints, you have Windisch last names and you have Windisch blood running through your veins.

    Fun fact: Slovenia wanted to use plain slavic tricolor for their flag but had to freeze their independence for 3 months due to agreement with Yugoslavia. During this time Soviet union collapsed and Russia started using the plain flag, so Slovenia had to add the coat of arms. If Slovenia didn't postpone its independence, they would use the flag that Russia uses today. You can still see the plain flag in some old pictures before independence.

    • @mrhippo6040
      @mrhippo6040 Před 3 lety +13

      Before Slovenia was a nation? No. Russia used tricolor before Slovenia was a country, true. But Slovenes became a nation around the same time as all other slavs when we split up. We used many different names for ourselves tough. The final terms "slovenes" was then finally accepted in 19th century. Anyway yes russia used the tricolor before but Slovenia wanted to use it because its PANslavic.
