There's also a couple things I don't have the slightest idea how to spell
(so I'm just going to try to spell phonetically), and I'm not sure
they're even Russian, but I know it's some sort of eastern-european
language, I think Czech: Yuck she mush Dovja. (My great-grandfather
was Czech (IIRC) and taught my brother, sister and I that way back when
he was still around.)
Answering here as no valid email is given.
The first means in Czech language Jak se má¹? (How are you? or Howdy?),
pronounced e.g. here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQBsqWT90IU
and the second possibly Dobøe (Good or Well, as in 'Good, I'll do it').
Ahh, great to have correct spellings of those. And yea, How are you?
Good is what I remember being tought.
And one little thing: the Czech Republic is part of the Central Europe.
Saying it belongs to the Eastern Europe is a reliable way to upset
the Czechs, for rather complex historical reasons.
Good to know. I'm a total ignorant american when it comes to those things.
Heck, I always figured Germany was eastern-europe (although not politically,
I realize, just geographically). I guess not :) Umm, actually, I didn't
even realize there was something considered Central Europe, even though
now that you mention it, I know I've heard that term before. Heh, yea, I
guess I *really* need to read up on Europe a bit better :)
Any idea about what Slovakia counts as? AIUI, waaay back when my
great-grandparents and great-great-grandparents were still over there, it
was all still Czechoslovakia. I have no idea which part of it they lived
in.
