Language / Kupować vs Kupić [27]

perfective verbs form future tense by "normal" conjugation (kupię), imperfective with the auxiliary verb "być" (będę + kupować)

does this mean that not all verbs have perfective/imperfective forms?
i think być will not, but what about the rest?

Language / Context of 'Mów dalej' [13]

thank you, and if you just say 'dalej', could it be used in any context of moving forward, like prompting a shy child on stage, na przykład, or still only in the tell me more context?

Language / Context of 'Mów dalej' [13]

thanx G

Edit: If you just give a command: 'Dalej!'

Can it be pretty much any context where you can move forward, or is it used specifically?

Language / Context of 'Mów dalej' [13]

According to my Polish teacher, Mów dalej = go on!

Is it in the context of speaking, like when you encourage or prompt someone to speak on, eg when someone's telling you an interesting story and you were interrupted? The person who interrupted goes away, and you prompt your friend: Mów dalej!

Or is it go on in general?

Language / Kupować vs Kupić [27]

"kupić" in future tense (since it's perfective, so it doesn't have present tense):
kupię
kupisz
kupi
kupimy
kupicie
kupią

If it's future tense, will it not stay in bezokolicnik but with bendę, itd in front?

ja bendę kupić
itd?

Food / What to eat in Poland? (we like rice, spicy food, and chicken) [20]

sorry, can't help in wrocław since i'm in warsaw, but really try Bali when you come to Warsaw.

you'll find curry in the supermarkets. carrefour definitely has, nad if you have a tesco's or kuchnia swiata, you may even find some other Indian stuff there. tesco's and carrefour both now have international cuisine sections - still small but coming along nicely.

Getting a dictionary might also help. One of the secrets about people (not only Polish ones): they open their hearts WIDE if you try a little bit of the language!! You don't have to be perfect, just try.

The polish people (and animals of course) on the forum can correct me if I'm wrong ;)

Hey guys - welcome to forum. There are a lot of threads on polish food, which you can search to find out what all the dishes consist of.

Just a tip rom a South African who likes spicy food - amongst other things biryani and Indian curry because of Indian influence on South African cuisine ;)

Yes, Kurczak (chicken) comes in all shapes and sizes, but do yourselves a favour - do not expect the spiciness that you (and I) am used to - it's just not foudn in Polish food. Go to restaurants and open your minds and stomachs to a different experience, and you'll come to love it, just like I did :)

Pierogi (dumplings with different fillings, from meat to mushrooms and cabbage, there are lovel fillings that don't have meat in them)
Bigos (cabbage as main ingredient with different meats, mushrooms and other veggies, not usually Kurczak)
Żurek (traditional soup - delicious, but with sausage, which you would probably not eat)
Kaczka (duck) is one of my favourites, and the Poles really know how to prepare this!

Don't know if you ever come to Warsaw, there is a Bali restaurant in the city centre with DELISCIOUSLY HOT stuff!! :)))

Have fun in Wrocław - beautiful city with touristy things to do, without the tourist crowd of Krakow! :)

Life / Help wanted with the Polish law; she got pregnant and returned to Poland [41]

Yeah because you Mufasa KNOW for a fact that a fetus feels the abortion. You know this no more than he knows they don't.

No I DONT know that. Nobody knows that and the experts have struggled over the question for years and years. I would be an arrogant ass to claim that I know that. I just tried to turn thought in another direction - just to say to this young guy that other opinions - valid ones whether you agree with them or not - exist on this world, except his own.

Why are you so angry?

Oh and regarding the if i was an aborted fetus i wouldn't think or feel nething! They can't feel nething they r unconcious!

I was also a wise ass a long time ago - not very proud of it now. You'll also learn - I bloody well hope so!

Life / Help wanted with the Polish law; she got pregnant and returned to Poland [41]

Regarding the abortion thing, let's play an if-game Rocky: If it were possible for you to understand what abortion is while you were still in your mother's womb, and they were considering aborting you, how would that have made you feel?

Just a question ;) I don't want you to answer it here, or to come up with the rational 'yes but I wasn't and all that' - just to think about in this IF sense ;)

Life / Would this be viewed as okay for most Polish families? [38]

guaranteed a job in my uncles franchised healthcare clinic network as well as my fathers lobbying firm or just about any law enforcement agency

very independent :)

i agree that moms and sisters shouldn't serve dads and brothers on their arses all day, but ten again, if they do, they must suffer, because it is of their own choice. you get the same thing in South Africa where I come from :)

my polish landlady packs a three course home-cooked meal for her unmarried 28 year old boy's lunch at work every day. thank heavens I won't be marrying him one day ;P
