    Ah fair. I just guessed that the shorter and more grammatically basic the sentence is, the higher the likelihood that it’ll be nearly identical in closely related languages.

      It would be and it is but slovenian is not that closely related to croatian or serbian as those are to each other. German and Italian influence tends to do that.

        TIL! Cool to know!

        I’ve only spent a few hours in Slovenia, stopping off for lunch while driving from Austria to Italy. It was one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been to.
