News / Metal concerts in Poland- where to launch them? [7]

hehe, sure, i don't like kraftwerk, laibach or rammstein in english but this is specific, industrial music and harsh german language fits perfectly.

Halber Mensch

true, but ...

Einsturzende Neubauten

...what about sabrina? can't imagine this song in german

german is the language of war and industry imo :)

Life / Help with Polish Nicknames / Diminutive Names [21]

Jadzia "Jadwiga"

correct

Janina - Janka
Barbara - Basia

Samuel - I wouldn't try to make a nickname out of it
Michael - is not a Polish name at all. The Polish equivalent is Michał and it's diminutive is Michaś, but it's good only for a little boy. You usually don't use nicknames for this name

Lusia is a nickname of Lucyna

yeah smartass, thanks for repeating what was already written above ;]
