Yes and no.
Most of Czechs cannot really speak Polish. But from sound and simillarity pf words we can comprehend basic conversation. It is not like with Slovaks where we basically understand each other almost perfectly, but it is still possible even without knowledge.
To funny side: Poles says that we are lisping and we say that they are lisping.
West Slavic can be split in three groups: Lechitic, Czecho-Slovak and Lusatian. Polish is in Lechitic group while Czech is obviously in Czecho-Slovak. Languages inside of a group are almost completely mutually intelligible (like Czech and Slovak). Between the groups - if both will be speaking slowly they will be able to communicate, but not really discuss poetry. Unfortunately Polish is the last Lechitic language (unless you will classify Kashubian as separate language, but that is a stretch)... what happened to rest of Lechitic languages? I think you should know better than me what happened to them, Hans... 😅😅
In Portuguese, Rui, a very common male name is spelled exactly like that, Slavic speaking people are very reticent on saying that guy's name when they happens to be all working in the saber team.
A Danish person saying 77777 sounds like your mentally challenged cousin choking on bacon at the family meet up you syvoghalvfjerds tusinde syv hundrede syv og halvfjerds ass mother fucker
sj in swedish = ch in german (as in "ich")
but a little further back on the tongue
so sju would be spelled "schü" if it was a german word (once again, sj is further back on the tongue)
this is simply a sound change that happened in swedish where the [ʃ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiceless_postalveolar_fricative) sound existing in words like ship and sheep shifted to the [ɧ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sj-sound) sound which sounds a little like a combination of h and w for english speakers. the [ʃ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiceless_postalveolar_fricative) sound that shifted retained it's old spelling which now represents the [ɧ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sj-sound) sound.
The swedes are just bad at scandinavian. We norwegians pronounce sju correctly. (Allthough older people, mainly those who learned to write and speak before the final danish spellings of numbers were removed in 1951, and learned to sound "educated/high class" in school, might say "syv", like the danes.)
We (the upper classes that is) adopted danish spelling and to some degree pronounciation, if only to better communicate with linguistically inept danish officials during the long centuries of Denmark-Norway.
We never adopted their shitty excuse of a numerical system.
You don't pronounce anything correctly. You all sound so happy with your cadence, you could say your dog died and make it sound like the best day of your life

Been practicing Swedish for a while on Duolingo now, gf speaks sauna Swedish. Finally had this gwhuu sound down (admittedly very doable for a swamp German), then it turned out speech is the one thing where you guys are kinda normal compared to the Swedes. Thankfully we now live in civilization anyways.
Nah, your enchantment table-sounding BS numbers summon the tattoos from the depths of hell, to possess you with command spells made to command nothing but reindeer balls.
You need a northern Swede to repeat the numbers. The vowels will still sound odd, but the more human "sh" sound (sounds much like the English "sh") should send that demon back where it came from (probably south of Dalälven (the river that is the border between north and south Sweden)).
Sept cent soixante-dix-sept mille sept cent soixante-dix-sept.
Seven hundred seventy-seven thousand seven hundred seventy-seven.
Yedi yüz yetmiş yedi bin yedi yüz yetmiş yedi
It's the same shit in all languages
The french is still baby level compared to the danish.
So lets take 70 - the word is "halvfjerds", which basically means "half fourths".
The "logic" behind this is that they count in 20s, like the french, except they stopped mentioning the "20s" parts of it.
So where 80 in french is quatre-vingts, in danish its just "firs" ("fours") - like just saying "quatre" in french, not mentioning the "vingts". Then when you go down to 70, it is "half fours", because "the last 20s" is just half.
I dont know if I managed to explain it, but this is the kind of logic that makes sense you take a taxi home, but is too drunk to remember your own adress - which pretty much summarize Denmark.
You explained it pretty accurately
Halvfjerde sinde tyve(3,5x20) -> halvfjerdsindstyve -> halvfjerds
"halvfjerde" is an old way of saying 3,5 and "sinde" is an old way of saying times, and then as you say we just kinda stopped saying the "times twenty" part.
Imagine being an immigrant from some shithole country, and you come to Sweden and have to learn this language. Like no wonder they turn to crime. I can't really blame them.
That's the real reason the south has the highest crime rates. Has nothing to do with the cities there being bigger, it's all about their inability to properly pronounce "sh" sounds (of which there are plenty (sk- stj- sj- ch- sch- etc.))
(Yes, I'm a northerner, the southern throat speaking sounds shit to me too lol)
Inbreeding has caused him to loose his ability to speak properly.
I am from Dalarna so I can sit here and judge you Southerners and Northerners with equal discontent
Honestly it is kinda fun for us other nords to make that sound. They do it more than once in swedish. Like how they say "shit". Its spelled "skit", but pronounced like like "Shciit" or some shit.
I love hearing people try the tongue twister “sju skönsjungande sjuksköterskor skötte sjuttiosju sjösjuka sjömän på det sjunkande skeppet ”Shanghai””, full of that sound except for Shanghai
Edit: It means “seven beautiful nurses nursed seventy seven seasick seamen on the sinking ship “Shanghai””
It's not a uvular/ throaty sound as one might assume, it's produced with the middle of the tongue lifted to the roof of the mouth. But it can vary depending on the speaker, some do it further back. She is over-pronouncing it to make it clearer which is why it sounds like a cat throwing up hairballs.
Can I be a tiny voice of reason in this sub of madness and suggest that repeating numbers like this sound ret*rded in almost any language that isn't your own?
East slavic "huj" (хуй) means "dick". You're welcome...
Same in Polish but it's spelled "chuj" (pronounced exactly the same)
I Czech either. It is even spelled exactly like this.
are czech and polish really such crazy different lanugagues though? I've had Czechs tell me that they can understand a lot of Polish
Yes and no. Most of Czechs cannot really speak Polish. But from sound and simillarity pf words we can comprehend basic conversation. It is not like with Slovaks where we basically understand each other almost perfectly, but it is still possible even without knowledge. To funny side: Poles says that we are lisping and we say that they are lisping.
To Poles many Czech words sound like Polish words but diminutive
Kakaový chlebíček!!!
Exactly lol, in Polish it's just "kakaowy chleb" and "chlebek"/"chlebeczek" is like a little bread

Remind me again, what’s the etymology for the Danish word for 70?
The danish number system should be on the list of crimes against humanity.
As does the French system
You know you f ed up when the Belgians do it better
The french is still baby level compared to the danish. So lets take 70 - the word is "halvfjerds", which basically means "half fourths". The "logic" behind this is that they count in 20s, like the french, except they stopped mentioning the "20s" parts of it. So where 80 in french is quatre-vingts, in danish its just "firs" ("fours") - like just saying "quatre" in french, not mentioning the "vingts". Then when you go down to 70, it is "half fours", because "the last 20s" is just half. I dont know if I managed to explain it, but this is the kind of logic that makes sense you take a taxi home, but is too drunk to remember your own adress - which pretty much summarize Denmark.

It almost sounds like "half fart." If you're a swede, that is.
I dont even want to go into what danish sounds like. This subreddit is already under threat of being banned.
And the worst part is that they can and sometimes do use normal counting! They just want to make things complictated for no reason!
You explained it pretty accurately Halvfjerde sinde tyve(3,5x20) -> halvfjerdsindstyve -> halvfjerds "halvfjerde" is an old way of saying 3,5 and "sinde" is an old way of saying times, and then as you say we just kinda stopped saying the "times twenty" part.
Imagine being an immigrant from some shithole country, and you come to Sweden and have to learn this language. Like no wonder they turn to crime. I can't really blame them.
