What's the problem? Also, my 2 years of learning Russian tell me that the name ljubljana has something to do with love? Or am I completely off track here?

>>72090081
Ljubljana sounds fantastic. The city of love.

>>72090922
So I'm not retarded, good to know.

There's no english version of the name, so it may sound weird.

Vienna comes from italian language, in german it's Wien.
Prague in czech is Praha
Warsaw in polish is Warszawa

We call it Laibach.
Ljubljana makes my tongue hurt.

>Bratislava
We should've kept Prešporok/Pressburg/Pozsony ťbh

American tourists call it Lubiana in the Italian manner. Annoying af.

>>72090922
This.

Also

>Warsaw
>Beautiful

sounds like you're having a heart attack

Lube-Lee-Ahna.

>>72091137
are you serious?

it's just "liubliána"

>>72091217
>>72091315
There is no i sound.

lyoob-lyana

>>72091380
Explain this """""y sound""""" you talk about

>>72091509
It's the German J, as in Johann.

>>72091509
igual que la i española en diptongo

>>72091053
Bratislava sounds really powerful though

>>72091509
Soft L, like your double ll. Llubllana, something like that

>>72091380
You cannot make the "y" sound without also making an "ee" sound in this case.

>>72091380
So L-ll-ubl-ll-ana in spanish?

Ya pero cómo hago ese sonido luego de una L?
>>72091569
>>72091691
>>72091717
This is confusing

>>72090956
Ljub is the root for love, yes, but the name does not originate from that word. It probably originates from latin alluvius, which means swamp earth. It makes sense since Ljubljana is build on a swamp.

>>72090081
This is very nice name for the city. In slavic languages in would something like "Love" or "Beloved"

>>72091809
Try pronouncing it as l-u-llubl-u-llana with the Us pronunced as the mute japanese U
Or don't pronounce the L

>>72091879
I've read that the name comes from the personal name Ljubovid, since the attested Latin names for the town are Emona and, during the dark ages, Atamina.

>>72091691
>generic Slavic shithole #25
Almost like Slovakia

>>72091509
L-you-blia-na

>>72091983
This used to be one of the theories, but in the end it was ruled that Ljubljána and ljúbljena have no direct connection.

The way she pronounces it is the correct way. I could hardly find a good pronounciation on the internet

Is it really such a fucking trouble to go on the Wiktionary page on the word and just listen to the recording of someone saying it?

Why does everyone on /int/ behave like a retarded manbaby?

Is it because Trump is in the office?

Wiktionary pronounces it wrong, I've checked.

>>72092313
Because it's fun discussing it, you absolute autist
Why discuss international culture if it's all in their respective wiki pages?

>>72092403
What's fun about arguing whether it's y, ll, ee or i you dumb reterd?

>>72092321
In reality, only romance languages and the crypto romance language English have the problem with J.

>>72092265
watch zizek videos

>>72092265
This

When I read zizek I immediately get reminded of the Styrian word for boobs (zizike)...but I know most posters don't have the Ž on their keybs to be able to write the word correctly, as Žižek.
