They're both east slav languages, but Belarusian, from what I understand, has a lot of Polish influence

>>77998559
Some people actually speak Russian

Belarussian is more like Ukrainian. Theyre almost the same

Yeah, they are very similar. Although I think the accents are pretty different. The only east slav language I know in any capacity is Russian, and, to me, Belarusian sounds much more similar to Russian even if I don't understand certain words.

Ukrainian is more like Polish, while Belarussian is just like Russian but with some Ukrainian influence.

Just because Ukrainian shares a lot of vocabluary with Polish it doesn't mean that is more similar to polish than it is to Russian. Belarusian phonetics are more similar to polish ones, while Ukrainian are to russian ones. Also it is hardcore for me to compare them, because i had russian classes in highschool and as a result i pretty much understand Belarusian, while i have some problems with Ukrainian.

Really? What is the hardest part in Ukrainian for you? For me it's the way they stress words and russian vocabluary.
In case of Belarusian i understand it easy only because it is really similar to Russian. In russian i understand very basic structures and basic vocabluary + i still remember 90% of endings.
