Given the current situation, I think I have to postpone my travel plans to Slovenia. Trains cannot be relied on these days, especially from the South upwards. There is high risk of getting stranded on railway stations...

razrezati - cut up (reduplication??)

I don't know for sure how that works in Slovene, but in Russian razrezat' would only mean reduplication (in sense of cutting something in two halves) if you specifically say "разрезать напополам/ на две равные части". Without specifying how do you cut is should just be one of perfective aspects to rezati.
Makes me wonder whether all Slavic languages are less rich on verb forms compared to Russian, or is just the fact that the articles on Russian are sometimes written better. For example:
and
Unfortunately, it's very risky to look at languages other than Slovene with such matter, because false friends can be sitting literally anywhere.

Oh, I meant it purely linguistically. In Germanic languages there is a group of verbs where you would form the past tense with reduplication, for example in Gothic: haitan - haihait, you duplicate the first syllable. This is also used in other languages for other functions. This just looks a lot like that. Or would "raz" just be some common prefix? (ok, I can answer this myself with a quick glance at my dictionary - it is).
These long lists of verbs seem daunting :O

raz is a common prefix: razresat', razvesti, razbit'. Never heard of this linguistic reduplication o_O
Yeah, even natives can get lost in this, I must admit.

As a contrast to all that Slovene stuff, a bit of Balkan music:

That's a shame I am in Slovenia at the moment and everything has been fine but I think I have been lucky with my timing; I crossed the Croatia-Slovenia border about 24 hours before the crisis started in Croatia. I hope you will be able to travel soon - it is a really beautiful country

This is why we speak dialect:


The accent just doesn't work with Hochdeutsch.

Pretty village.


And some rural parcour.

Stumbled upon some weird Turkish TV series:


How come this looks like some rich brat series from the US?
