If you come across any other words which are completely different in Czech and Slovak, it
would be nice if you mentioned them. I don't study Slovak actively but I like to note the Slovak word in brackets on my Czech ANKI desk when it's different from Czech, like dělat - robiť, mluvit - hovoriť, nádraži - stanica or tramvaj - električka. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Yeah, the hej=jo was a surprise do me at the beginning of my university studies. In
Czech, we understand hej like "Hey,you there! Give me some attention!" while in Slovak it is yes. And at that moment, my new slovak classmates were using it on me all the time. Was strange to get used to it. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

nuriayasmin: the most commonly know different word is the blueberry: borůvka in Czech,
Čučoriedka (I hope I spell it correctly) in Slovak. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Chung, do you know why some of the cognate month names correspond to completely different months in Czech and Serbo-Croatian? Looking at this list is very confusing for me since in Croatian, srpanj is July, rujan is September, and listopad is October. Yet, prosinac (December) is the same.

Not Chung, but my explanation to the differences:
září and říjen come has the same underlying meaning - září from old Slovan zářuj (during the rutting season) and říjen from "říje" (the month of rutting). The difference is simply what word was used for which month. Srpen / srpjan - could come from the weather differences. There are 2 possibly etymological roots, the old Slovan "srpisti" - to ripen and "srp" - sickle. In both possibilities, this is the month when crops ripe and are harvested. Listopad - leaves falling. 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

A couple of others that spring to mind are - Turkey (animal) Czech - krocan Slovak - Morka (I think) and I know that the word for turkey meat sounds very similar to the word for guinea pig in Czech - morče, which provides some funny misunderstandings possibly for Czechs in Slovak restaurants! Potatoes Czech - brambory Slovak - zemiaky How do you say...? Czech - jak se řekne..? Slovak - ako sa povie...? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Another tricky pair of words is:
Czech pečeně (the roast) - and Slovak pečeň (liver), in Czech játra roasted/fried: Czech - smažený (řízek), Slovak vyprážaný (rezeň) 2 persons have voted this message useful |
