Slavstvuyte!

In the previous episode, we discussed how important it is to watch out for the aspect of the verb when it comes to imperative. In today's episode, we continue the journey of aspect & imperative with a small addition - expressing a prohibition.

How did verbs behave in Old Church Slavonic and what preferences do modern South Slavic languages have when it comes to a verbal aspect in prohibition? Join me to find out!

Slavstvuyte! has been growing for the last two and a half years. We shared so many beautiful moments and I love receiving your messages, tips, and sharing experiences with you.

I have also learned so much since the first episode appeared, back in December 2020. It was a year I'm sure all of us will remember, but it will also be the year this project started. 

That is why I am giving you the opportunity to listen to the VERY FIRST EPISODE of Slavstvuyte! once again. For some of you, this will refresh your memory & take you back to where it all began. For others, this will be the opportunity to dive into the history of Slavstvuyte!

Thank you for listening, supporting & growing with me!

👉🏻 𝐃𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤 𝐢𝐧 𝐒𝐥𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐜 𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐮𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐬 follow the same pattern - they are numbered and the counting starts from Monday.

💡 This pattern is so easy that one non-Slavic languages has borrowed some days of the week to their vocabulary as well - can you guess which language is that?

As mentioned in the previous episode, this is going to be the last out of three episodes on reduplication in Slavic languages. This time, we are going to be talking about sound reduplication.

First of all, I am going to have to admit - the quality of this audio is bad since I am experiencing some issues with my microphone. Still, I hope it won´t be too distracting and I apologize for the inconvenience.

Slavic languages express the belonging of the person or object in question through the reflexive-possessive pronoun *𝐬𝐯𝐨𝐣ь. But when exactly is it used and what is its role among all the other possessive pronouns? 𝐓𝐮𝐧𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐮𝐭!
