Life / I live in Warsaw and my hot water is brown!!! [32]

When I moved to Poland after living in the UK I once tried tap water and was ill for a few days! That stuff kills!

Love / THE TYPICAL POLISH WOMAN? [148]

Maybe it's because of the age too, I'm not sure about Switezianka and Eurola but JustysiaS and Wyspianska are young as they have pictures of them in their profiles. These two like to be loud and a little rude sometimes but in an attractive way. I was suspecting them to be one person for a while.

Why? (I also thought of these two).

Language / misleading differences between Polish and English languages [92]

When English says pathetic it means sad,
When Pole says patetyczny it means elegiac.

When English says sad it means unhappy,
When Polish says sad it means orchard.

Love / THE TYPICAL POLISH WOMAN? [148]

JustysiaS
krysia
panienka
polishgirltx
Wyspianska

That's all I can think of now. All of them have features typical for Polish women, why do you think panienka is the winner, Seanus? It's a pure experiment, don't worry girls, I don't intend to offend you.

Love / THE TYPICAL POLISH WOMAN? [148]

If you were supposed to pick one of the Polishforums members as the typical Polish woman, who would you think of? I noticed there are quite a few Polish females so it's just a thought.

News / How to register in wp.pl email account? [16]

How do you know somebody has done this? Did they send messages from your e-mail address to anybody?

Love / THE TYPICAL POLISH WOMAN? [148]

Not necessarily. Most of them might be good cooks as have been taught by mothers and grandmothers but it's not a rule at all.

Life / So it's hit me too, isolation in Poland [46]

BevK, where in Poland are actually living? I'm sure there are many things to do and to keep you busy as long as you live in a town. I've been in a situation when I felt crazily lonely living abroad even although I have had a few friends there and I know from my own experience that doing anything that takes your free time is a quite much of a help as you don't dwell on things and don't think about how good it would have been if you stayed home.

Language / sobie sobie sobie sobie sobie [29]

What about 'se'? It's obviously not official Polish but one Polish friend of mine is overusing this word in her written Polish. She knows it's not correct as she does it only while chatting online. I find it quite amusing when she says: 'ide se' or 'kupie se'. She says 'niet' instead of 'nie' too.

Language / Difference between Polish Ł and English W [23]


That's an interesting part, would you mind giving me some examples?

News / Should Poles become a minority in Poland? [150]


This is not about the nicest way to describe foreigners.

Life / Understanding Communication and Body Language of Polish People [13]


Right - left - right. Three times unlike Turkish people for example who do only twice.

Life / Wanna buy a rubber/condom (in Rossmann in Poznan)? [51]


Not more of them than in England, surely.

Life / Wonderful Poland.......but the attitude of Polish people [150]


It has nothing to do with jealousy. I find Polish mentality sort of similar to Russian: they like to be slightly aggresive when they see something new and potentially dangerous. In time they'd warm up to you and accept you.

Love / Do Polish Women with Blonde hair look more beautiful than with dark hair? [25]

From what I've noticed, many girls in Poland dye their hair for very fake blonde, I wouldn't call them beautiful. Some natural blondes may be very pretty and so may be brunettes.
