Majka's explanation seems about right since there is some semantic leeway when assigning the months (by their meaning) to natural phenomenon. Srpanj and srpen seem logical to me since the second half of summer is the time when harvesting or "sickle-work" can begin. Hrvatski jezični portal doesn't yield any special clues (i.e srpanj, rujan, listopad) You may find this comparison on Croatian Wiktionary of the "old-fashioned" names interesting. The "inconsistency" also extends to other Slavonic languages with the Croats' lipanj "June" corresponding to the Poles' and Ukrainians' lipiec and липень "July" respectively, for example. P.S. I just realized that these names reflect temperate or sub-arctic conditions in the Northern Hemisphere. Srpanj / srpen make little sense to the second-generation Croatian- or Czech-Australian, for instance. Edited by Chung on 07 January 2013 at 5:14pm 3 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

This is a good dictionary to get for those interested in the differences between Czech and Slovak vocabulary. Slovensko-český a česko-slovenský slovník na cesty It doesn't list those words which are similar in meaning and spelling, but rather those which are significantly different. There are 189 pages, so quite a few words!

Another exemple:
the back =záda in Czech = chrbáť in Slovak the spine= páteř= chrbtica I hope the Slovak spelling is correct,it should be :-) Addition to this exemple, there is a Czech verb hrbit se (the best English equivalent is to hunch, I believe). That is similar to those Slovak words. Anyone knows the Sloavk equivalent, please? 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

I have finally remembered the Czech-Slovak and Slovak-Czech online dictionary. Only differences can be found there.

A quick update while I have some free time in front of a school computer.
CZECH I've been reading "Inkoustová smrt", I've read about 200 pages in the last week or so. I've also had a couple of speaking lessons and on Saturday I spent 7 hours speaking and drinking with a group of Czechs as the only foreigner. SPANISH Listening to TY Perfect Your Spanish. I've gone through the whole course once and will do so again. I've also chatted a little bit here and there with my Czech friend who's learning Spanish. Having reviewed the Hungarian Conditionals, I woke up on Sunday morning realising that I'd forgotten how to form the Spanish 1st Conditional. I remembered after a while but it made me realise how rusty I am. HUNGARIAN I wrote another chapter of my latest story on the Hungarian thread, this is probably the main reason for any abilities I have in Hungarian; it's great for repeating vocabulary and grammar. I've also listened to my TY course through again. For 4 out of the last 6 mornings I've spent breakfast (about 20 minutes) reviewing a particular grammatical structure in Hungarian. I've gone through the Conditionals, Imperative, Past tense and Possessive. SLOVAK I've learned another word which is completely different from Czech - OMRVINKY. It means "crumbs" in English and "DROBKY" in Czech. Edited by hribecek on 14 January 2013 at 3:07pm 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Našiel som učebnicu s cvičeniami, ktorá porovnáva slovenčinu so češtinou.
