Levels of understanding other slavic languages

oh we also have X and it means the same!

that looks like X but misspelled

that's just the archaic variant of X

this sounds a lot like Y from another slavic language I know which means X in mine so this almost 100% also means X

this word is completely different but I can kinda tell the meaning from the morphology

what

okay right now I'm gonna have to dissect the entirety of this language's history to figure out how the FUCK did y'all get to the point of calling X that and not something more normal

I wanted to ask for X and accidentally called someone a whore

packing my winter stuff for the next project and i found the lyre i bought at a thrift store a few years back. considering taking it with me bc i'll definitely have free time for the next three weeks and i could probably teach myself the basics. i played viola badly in middle school, so i definitely still have muscle memory for string instruments from 15+ years ago that will carry me.
