Some places in Kosove (Gjakove comes to mind) have a very thick accent. I mean i speak pure northern style, but even i at times have to pay a little extra attention lol. They take north alb. geg and take it a step further making a more 'harsher' version. Like: Gjat (Tosk) Giat (N. Alb) Gat (Kosove) Qaj (Tosk) Kjaj (N. Alb) Kaj (Kosove) Qoft (Tosk) Kjoft (N. Alb) Koft (Kosove) Gjuha (Tosk) Giuha (N. Alb) Guha (Kosove) And on and on.. But then again, we have our way with some words that Kosovars can point to and say we have the heavier accent lol. Anyway, its all good. Errnoft e kjoft Gegnishta ! True. lol Only dialect which I have hard time understanding is the one from Macedonia. When we left Kosovo during the war, the first 3 weeks we spent in a village of Tetovo, (I was 14 at that point), it was like half the words were a foreign language. haha I'm not from Tetove but from Kercova a few cities down (very similar dialect albeit a few differences.) Now you know how I felt when I went to places like Durress and Vlora. Even understanding some Geg speakers like Shkodrans or my friend from Mitrovica is difficult at times for me.
