yohoho...you're in "At Daria's" tavern

oh we also have X and it means the same!

that looks like X but misspelled

that's just the archaic variant of X

this sounds a lot like Y from another slavic language I know which means X in mine so this almost 100% also means X

this word is completely different but I can kinda tell the meaning from the morphology

what

okay right now I'm gonna have to dissect the entirety of this language's history to figure out how the FUCK did y'all get to the point of calling X that and not something more normal

I don't even have to look at the blog and I just know this is from a Pole about Czechs

KAKAOVY CHLEBICEK???!!!???

for example

(Polish: are you looking for a squirrel?, Slovak: excuse me, he is doing what to the squirrel?)

(also "hladna pića" means "cold drinks" in Croatian. means "hungry cunt" in Slovak and Czech)

("you're weird" in Czech is the same as "you're amazing" in Croatian, while "you're amazing" in Czech is the same as "you're terrible" in Croatian)

Conductor raises his hands and buddy whispers urgently "hey, the second line is 'he fucked people'!"

Conductor goes pale "Hledal! We'll be singing HLEDAL ludzi!"

My favourite non-edgy Czech-Polish false friend examples

denne čerstvé (sounds like "boring and stale" in Polish, actually means "daily, fresh" in Czech)

This was my first sweater knitted in the round, first stranded colourwork project, and my first time steeking. It was definitely my most challenging project so far, and a lot of learning and research was involved. I used a colourwork chart created by the very talented Molly Gifford, which is available for free on Ravelry

For reference, this is one of the fragments uncovered from the gravesite:

Some scholars think that the Oseberg tapestry includes the earliest known artistic depiction of Odin's ravens, Huginn and Muninn. So I added them to the sleeves as a little Easter egg.

I honestly feel devastated. It’s clear that we’re severely lacking air defence capabilities. I keep hearing that our “allies” are delaying shipments, so our guys don’t have enough to intercept these missiles. Only ~20% of Kyiv has electricity at this moment, after last night’s attack. I don’t want to freeze to death. There are reports of another attack being prepared as we speak, using strategic aviation. Many homes have been without heating for days. People in high-rise buildings can’t use elevators and have no running water.

I wasn’t able to complete a single artwork in the first two weeks of 2026 - this simply feels like a waste of life. Every time I get electricity, I spend it on basic survival: cooking hot food, charging devices, not drawing, not working. I’ve been robbed of opportunities for four damned years. Everything feels pointless.

I don’t know if we’ll be able to withstand this. Those monsters are throwing everything at us - hundreds of murderous drones, ballistics, cruise missiles. Unable to break Ukrainians even with daily bombings, they’re counting on another humanitarian disaster - just freezing people in their own homes.

Please don’t stay silent. Please don’t ignore this. Ukraine is not a “trendy” topic anymore. Some people in Europe don’t even know if the war is still ongoing, while we stand as a meat shield for the rest of this continent, our lives completely worthless to the rest of the world.

And please remember, this is done with either full support or silent approval from the russian population, paid for by their taxes and by everyone who pays them from abroad. They don’t protest, they don’t care, they want us all to die. Please don’t ignore this nightmare, and please don’t contribute to it. It matters.

There were many others, and what hurts the most is that there will be more.

Ukrainian leftists, civil rights activists and antifascists die while Western red-brown scum with hammer and sickle tattoos enjoy their dolce vita and Make Vodka Not War posters.

There is no other truer and purer antifascist struggle now than standing up to China-Russia-Iran axis and Trumpism. And there is no other way than armed conflict. The sooner the sane societies and elites over the (yet) civilized world will realize that, the less scenes like that you will get.
