Language / większy ,some grammar explanation about the use of it. [3]

koło jest większe niż kwadrat.

kwadrat jest większy niż koło.

Why does większy become większe when the two objects are switched? Is it because the kwadrat has four corners or something?

Language / Going shopping in poland ,what to say? [13]

Thanks a lot ,this is really helping me. :)

There is so many things in this polishcoarse i bought ,but not one single thing about how to buy something ,it's all about saying which color things has and stuff like that.

Language / Going shopping in poland ,what to say? [13]

veryone speaks English or you can point, thats works too :)

No ,thats the problem ,many i have spoken to dont speak english ,or they refuse and just shake they're heads ,dont know which one it is.

And i cant squise through the window and point at everything ,they probably will freak out!

But how about this if i'm buying different things:

Poproszę dużą Coca Cole! (waits for clerk to get the stuff) I jeden dużą niegazuwany woda (again waiting for the clerk) I Szesc butelka piwo Tyskie(or any other brand but i like Tyskie). Then i ask "Ile?"

Would this work? Or would i sound like a moron and get the window slammed in my face :P (i know that wont happen ,poles are polite)

Language / Going shopping in poland ,what to say? [13]

I'm going to Poland soon and i have been learning my self some polish through reading papers and dictionaries. And some through "before you know it".

And with some help from you guys here at the Polishforum :)

What i'm wondering is ,if i'm going to one of those shops that is open at night(the ones you talk through a small window). The people who is in this shop often dont speak english.

As an example if i'm ordering a bottle of Coka cola ,is this sentence correct?

Czy moge dostac jeden duzy Coca Cola? (Will this get me a large bottle og Coca Cola?)

Or should i say:

Chcialabym jeden duzy Coca Cola.

Language / To sa truskawki , To jest chleb. Difference between the two? [22]

The question in my polish book is: Co to jest sa jedzenie?

And for Truskawki the answer is : To sa truskawki.

The answer for Chelb is: To jest chelb.

My question is: Why is "sa" used for "truskawki" and "jest" used for "chleb" ?

News / Polish religious pilgrims crashed coming back from a pilgrimage [62]

I understand it's about faith ,but that does not make it real.
Sick people have been healed by placebo medicine too. That is also about faith.
It's the same with people who believe in ghosts ,they see ghosts ,never people who dont belive in them. :)

Life / Why do other Polish people hate Warsavians? [12]

It's like this sometimes in Norway to. People from the cities look down on the people from outside of cities ,and vise versa. It does happen most often among young people.

Language / what is the difference between prosze and poprosze? [39]

As the topic says.

Also i'd like to ask: Is Słucham short for co słuchac?

Title of topic is not misleading. I asked for the difference between prosze and poprosze in the title and added in the topic "As the topic says.". Then i go on to say "Also i'd like to ask:Is Słucham short for co słuchac?" The "Also" implies the start of another question. :)

News / Polish religious pilgrims crashed coming back from a pilgrimage [62]

I offer my condolanses to they're family and friends.

Now i am an agnostic, and accidents like this really feeds my belief that there is no higher being. Why would "God" punish pilgrims that is true to him and follows him?

Guess praying did not help.

Travel / Warsaw Etuda airport? [10]

I have been to that terminal a couple of times ,i dont think its to bad. It's small and there is no shops or cafes ,but there is just a 10 minute walk to the other terminal that has all this things. The terminal is not bad at all.

Travel / How really cheap is in Poland? [37]

When i went to Poland from Norway i was shocked over how cheap it was there ,i would think you would be pleasantly supprised. Norway is the most expensive country in europe possibly most expensive in the world.

I have a job that has me working for 3 week ,then i have 3 weeks off. I'm thinking about buying an apartment in Poland and live there in my 3 weeks off ,and then rent the place out when i'm not there.

Love / Sending this poem to a girl - cheezy or not? [53]

I was going to send a small poem to a girl i like , but would this be just cheezy or sweet?

One says it takes one minute to meet a special human,
one hour to appreciate it,
one day to love it,
but a lifetime to forget it.

[Moved from]: Minigolf in Warsaw

I know i have seen something about minigolf in Warsaw ,i think it was in the Imola centre where they also have gokarts. Anyone been there and can tell me if this minigolf was any good? I'm planning to bring a polish girl there on a date before dinner. Girls just want to have fun right? ;)
