Love / Why are more Polish girls marrying Americans? [77]


I agree with you on that one.

But you didn't comment what I wrote, so I suppose you agree.

Love / Polish young generation vs older girls [21]


And good genes are also required.

Language / "jesteś" - "you are" - Polish word for your? [17]

Lyzko, you make it too complicated for him. Step by step you know. ;)

I think it's enough (to begin with) that twój (masc), twoja (fem), twoje (neutr) means 'your'. Your father, your ball, your house.

According to the world we live in. Look at the history, liberalism always wins in the end. Always. And you know it. Sometimes the change is slow. But for centuries the world has always become more liberal. Episodes with less liberalism have only existed temporarily.

I'm not pro-100%-liberalism. I think liberalism and conservatism should be in equilibrium. But it's a fact that liberalism always wins in the end, even if it takes long time. The history proves it. And the best way to predict the future is to look at the history.

But I agree with you that some of the über-liberal parents are dangerous for their children and the society. I think of deviant behaviour such as criminality et cetera.

Love / How to find a girlfriend in Warsaw? [60]


You didn't tell him that.

Work / Teaching english as a private tutor [8]

There are a lot of threads about teaching English in Poland, read them.

It's easier if you have a CELTA or TESOL certificate, and some experience.


It doesn't pay very well. But you can survive on it. As you probably know most people in Poland don't make so much money. How much you can get depends on your qualifications and experience.

Life / Polish health care system, my experience. [32]


Ethically yes. By law probably no. It's a dilemma. These people are probably not even meeting the doctor (just a nurse or a secretary) before they are told they must bring their European Health Insurance Card (which is free) or pay.

So all European people: ALWAYS bring your European Health Insurance Card when you go to another county in the EU. It's free and you don't have to pay for any emergency visits/treatments at the hospital.

Do you want Poland to go back to some communism dictature?

Polish girls (and boys) can choose who they want to marry.
You can not decide who someone else should marry.

You can also marry who you want, someone from Poland, USA, England, Italy or any other country.

Life / Polish health care system, my experience. [32]


Waiting 10 hours at the emergency department is not uncommon in most countries. Or waiting many weeks (or several months) before you can see a specialist, if you have a chronic disease. My impression so far is that you usually get help without waiting very long in Poland (even if you don't pay).

In most countries you can go to a private clinic, pay for an operation, and have it done in 1-2 weeks instead of 6 months. Is it fair? Probably not. But it shortens the time the other people have to wait.

USA, Canada / America's Got Talents Judges kicked the Polish Triplet sisters.. [37]


There is a difference between being good and good enough in this competition. But I'm sure they can get some local gigs.

Love / Abuse in relationships (my first Polish girlfriend) [216]


Yes, for sure they are.

Life / Polish health care system, my experience. [32]

I hope you'll get well soon. And be glad you didn't get an intracranial bleeding. I've seen to much of that sh*t from street fights. There is sometimes very little violence needed. It looks really sad on the x-ray.


That's the way it is. Even if you're Polish or have a health insurance. People are usually sent to a several places. One doctor looks and maybe does somthing, then sends you to the next, same procedure and so on. And usually you need 10 different papers with 25 different stamps. Esp. if emergency situation with some x-rays and stuff needed.

Travel / 7 days in Poland... need some advice... [20]


The most popular city for tourists is Krakow. Gdansk/Sopot at the coast is also very nice.

Feedback / Thread Leader [9]

I have also seen this on other forums. It doesn't work, because it starts even more conflicts. But I think that everyone should be able to delete their own messages.

Love / I have a Polish boyfriend and I'm a lil Polish but cant speak it [13]



Jaki piękny świat gdy się ma 16 lat.

Language / Polish vs. Romanian [21]

Romanian have very strong influences from latin (like italian etc).
Poland is typicial slavic language.

Some similarities, but many differences.

Life / When to greet strangers in Poland or not.. [30]

As far as I see Polish people never greet each other in the streets if they don't know each other. And Poles never smile to someone they don't know.

But there are a few exceptions from this "ignore all strangers". For example in waiting rooms and on trains. If you enter a coupe most people greet. And when they leave the coupe/train 'do widzenia' is very common.

History / Who lost WWII (besides Poland)? [42]

No one won WWII. But a few countries lost not as much as others.

There are better things to do in a car than stealing it.

It doesn't sound lame.

There are many differnet ways to learn a language. You must figure out what fits your way of learning. We're all different. Maybe go for a course, or buy a book + CD and have someone to speak Polish with.

Travel / Prague Vs Krakow [34]

They exist in all cities, that's for sure.

Language / List of noun endings in the different cases [5]

They are a little tricky. They can act both as feminine and masculine noun. For example you say "mój/miły mężczyzna" (not moja/miła) in nominative case. Here it acts like a masculine noun but looks like a feminine noun (-a).

There are also feminine nouns that don't end in -a, but are still used grammatically as female nouns (eg. noc, miłosć).

Probably it's best to skip the nominative part of the list above, maybe it's appears more clearly then.

It's easy to confuse the nominative of the nouns with adjective endings.
If we skip the exceptions we can say (about nominative nouns):

Masc: ends in consonant
Fem: -a
Neutr: -e, -o, -y

Study / University for non-resident citizen [3]

Everyone in EU-countries can apply to university in Poland in the same way as Poles. If you apply in this way there will be no tution fee. The studies will be in Polish of course. There are also English Divisions (eg. medicine) at several Polish universities, where the studies are in English. In this case you pay a tution fee. But due to some law you can't study at this English Divison if you have Polish citizenship.

I guess people outside EU can apply for university in the same way, but they need legal permission (visa) to study in Poland.

Love / Abuse in relationships (my first Polish girlfriend) [216]


So if a woman were prosecuted in court for beating up her boyfriend she would not be convicted? Of course she would be. So... tell me more in detail what you mean by "anti-male bias" in courts.

The classical definition is that "liberalism is a broad class of political philosophies that considers individual liberty and equality to be the most important political goals".

So, if you say that liberalism made us men "second class citizens when it comes to justisce", you are wrong per definition. Because, per definition, liberalism wants equalty, not that women should be superior to men.

Love / Abuse in relationships (my first Polish girlfriend) [216]


No.


I'm sorry to hear. You probably deserve someone better than her. But you have to defend yourself. It's not fun to use violence against a woman, but if she goes totally crazy you don't have any other choice. You don't want her to beat you up. It's called self defence and nothing else. Then tell her to f*ck off. And if she doesn't report her to the police.

Love / Abuse in relationships (my first Polish girlfriend) [216]


I think some girls in all countries have delivered a b!tch-slap as a present for their BF.

Real Estate / Foreigners: Please don't buy Polish Land! [823]

Sorry, but other Polish people don't think like you. I'm Swedish, and I have lived in Poland for 2 year. Almost Polish people I have met have been nice and welcomed me to their country. You are an exception from what is normal in Poland.

Love / Abuse in relationships (my first Polish girlfriend) [216]


More sex is probably what these ladies need. And some therapy.

Love / Abuse in relationships (my first Polish girlfriend) [216]

That's what I am saying. Men are almost always stronger than women. If she is attacking you just make her stop. As I said, just grab her arms, and hold her still, until she understands what the f*ck she's doing. Hitting someone is a criminal offense and you have the right to defend yourself.

Do I really need to say this?

Love / Abuse in relationships (my first Polish girlfriend) [216]

I get really tired when I read about this cr@p.

You are men, if a woman starts to hit you, make her stop. Just grab her arms and say it's game over.

Some people have severe problems with their behavior. It's best to just stay away from them.
