Yeah? Yugo and tell them that
Show me your Titos…
Tito just wanted some breakfast
That’s certainly never been tried before. I predict zero consequences.
😬
Uuuuuuh yeah about that, Chief.
Maybe call it something like southern slav land.
Oh! Thanks for that, I never saw it until now. In one slavic language that is more familiar to me it would be “jiho” - close enough.
Interesting. I’m a language nerd and that made me curious.
Plugging “jiho” into Google Translate and selecting “Detect Language” doesn’t give me anything Slavic.
But if I try “jiho” specifically from Czech, Serbian, Macedonian, Croatian, Bosnian, or Bulgarian, they all translate to English “south.” (Trying “jiho” with Albanian, however, translates to English “yes.”) But none of those options were provided when it tried to “detect” the language? Wtf.
It gets weirder. If I type “south” and translate it into any of the above languages, not a single one responds with “jiho.” The closest I see is an option under “more translations” for Czech, which provides “jih.”
I know translation is a tricky business, but how does any of this make sense? Google’s got enough power, capitol, and access to information to be able to figure this stuff out. Or is this just what enshittification looks like when it’s applied to translation services?
(Side note: I’m open to suggestions for other translation sites. The more information they provide, the better.)
Trying “jiho” with Albanian, however, translates to English “yes.”
Well, duh. Albanian is not a Slavic language.
As for the rest of it south is jih in Czech, juh in Slovak and jug in most of southern slavic languages. O is added in compound words just to make better pronounceable as in Czech jihozápad or Serbian(Croatian,Bosnian…) jugozapad - southwest. The fact that google is trying to translate jiho- even from other languages then Czech might be some quirk of their engine, I don’t think it’s actually a word in those languages.
Maybe some kind of grammatical case is involved.

Apparently not
side note: computers are not capable of teaching languages in any meaningful way. Fight me.
Nothing could possibly go wrong.
No Constantinople? Weak shit
Did you have a date there?
29 May 1453, worst date ever

✋😡I can’t read these hieroglyphs
A dog whistle is blown
man comes running angrily
raises right hand highWhat does it mean though
And then call it “Slavia and Friends”
And since they are all the same anyway, just make up some new borders. Worked great in the middle east.
lets call it “Austria”
Let’s not.
Don’t make me roll a naval mine down a hill at you, OP.

Yup, some Croatian forces IIRC.
Ohh, there were more inventions in that war
Rolling naval mine downhill
Boiler bombs
Gun made from steering wheel that used shotgun shells as ammo
Serbia agrees.
Merge them? You’d like that, you git.
Push off, you’re not my master
Just a other bad faith comment. Entirely mercurial.
Oml why is Croatia enclosing Bosnia like that that’s so mean 😭
Because they stole the whole coastline of Yugoslavia.
Cuddles 🥰
I think a lot of them would actually be very supportive of this idea, however I don’t believe any of them agree with how it should be merged.
“Who wants to be the leader of this new country?”
“Me!” Said everyone.
How about no.
