Description
For a pity I don't remember exact location.
Nice modern structure.
The name of the hotel is funny - Jama [or also "diera"], in Slovak Language means a hole.
What does Jama mean in Slovenian?
Same meaning in Russian. In Slovak if my memory serves me right it meant a cave. Not sure about modern structure though. There were lots of folks way more mature than me and they said that interior looks or reminds them so much USSR style like. Should have taken interior pics too but I kinda forgot. I was 19 y.o back then.
I have to tell you, there's a Hotel in a Slovakian Spa Resort - Trencianske Teplice - it looks very similar to Jama.
I guess styles were copied/improved and used in other places as well.
Cave in Slovakian is - "jaskyna".
Jama in Bulgarian also means big hole (dich maybe too).
Hi Rebel!
I had a friend from Bulgaria [I think he went to England/lost contact], it was so hard for me to understand him, we had to speak Russian [those "bad-bad" communists made us learn, so we can all communicate].
Well, anyhow - How do you say "cave" in Bulgarian?
How many percent you'd say, you understand:
Izviestija.info & Neoslavonic.org ?
Cave in Bulgarian is "peshtera"
I'd say over 90%, it just takes a bit longer to read and grasp the meaning at times but it's totaly understandable. I think interslavic languages are a good idea and initiative!
Пештера - there's a latin feel to it - "pesh-tera". "Terra" from latin means in english "land/ground", in Slovak it's "zem".
I'm not sure about the meaning of the first part "pesh", but it may simply mean "under". Hmmmm, "peshtera" may not be a Slavic word afterall.
It's great that you understand around 90% of the NS Language, I'm on the same level. It means that those guys did a good job and that it's worth to learn it.
Can you imagine if all Slavic people could communicate clearly among themselves using their own root language?
Last year, we had a Folklore Festival [as usual] in my area and there was a Folklore Group from Bulgaria - very nice costumes.
Dobrego dna tebe!
Yes- "пещера". We don't have tera or terra as a seperate word so Im not sure about the origin of "пещера". There are some other "odd" words in bulgarian, like "father"= баща/bashta - I cant think of another male noun ending with "a" as usually all and only female nouns end with an "a". Отец/otets is also used but mostly when concerning god or a priest, in church speech.
Ground, land, soil, Earth is all "земя"/zemya.
I've seen some of your traditional costumes as well- quite different from ours but I really like how pretty, clean and tidy they usually look- just like slovak villades.
Oh, I spoke too soon. In cyrilik, as you wrote it correctly, there's no "T", so it cannot mean "terra".
From what we learned at school, the "щ" would be transliterated into latin and pronounced as "shch" or with our diacritic symbols "šč". Is "щ" pronouced differently in Bulgarian?
We use "otec" same as you + for the biological father as well. If I remember correctly, I heard the Ukrainians+Russians using the word баща/башка as well.
Yes, most of our traditional costumes are very plain, but neat, and in some regions, their design may get rather complex.
I love the Slavic Traditions, our old crafts and the old music telling stories about life in general. It can take one to a place of plain daily life with good healthy food, our villages used to produce. People used to live with less stress, back then.
Всего добрего длья тебя!
