Love / Are Polish men generally possessive? [51]

"Polish men are able to show their feelings"
"Polish men are warmer and more loving"
...
it all sounded like we, polish men, come with a fairly nice package deal ... it's pretty nice to hear that we have such a good reputation among women out there :)

Love / still looking for another polish girl - i wont give up :) [48]

Don't give up blackpool_uk! It looks like there is still lots polish girls going to UK for work so you should have good chances for meeting some :) But yea, keep in mind what taurusboy's told ya ... you may miss a real deal if you focus too much on something that was never meant to be :)

Food / Vegetarian food in Poland? [83]

sorry .. but there was no such thing as a veggie diet back at home where the Polish mother took charge in cooking :) ... but I suppose that's slowly changing.

What's the point of switching to vegetarian food besides the hope for animal cruelty elimination anyway?

Genealogy / Bera surname - having trouble finding my friend in Poland [3]

wow .. good luck buddy :) hope you'll find whoever you've lost out there :P

Love / Polish Men and their attitude towards sex and relationships [60]

I agree, as Amathyst has just said, some people get married much quicker than others as they feel like the time is running fastet for them. I've noticed that for some of us who migrated to another countries of the so called "better western nations" the situaition is worse. They sill want a Polish girl, with Polish personality and Polish way of thinking. Even though they would still say outl-loud it doesn't matter: " I could be with a Canadian girld, American girl, and so on .." but in fact it does matter for them as once they get a girl they always wanted they rush for finalizing the relationship and aim for getting married faster then they would if they were still back in Poland. I would not call the desparate, but they are kind of more interested in fainding a soul-mate for life, they treat the partner more seriuos from day number one, rather than have fun and play around, definitely not interested in "one night stands" and so on.

Love / How to make good impression to his Polish parents? [19]

hard question ... best thing to do would be to ask your b/f what his parents like and dont like you know ... the comments above and him as a resource should give you failry nice idea. But most imporantly, don't torture yourself. His parents are just people like everyone else and should be just fine :)

Food / Napoleonki recipe, chrusciki [22]

the above recipe looks good but I would also add 1-2 tablespoons of vodka .. it gives the "Faworki" this extra crust they need :)

Food / Popular Polish shots or drinks? [4]

denaturat :) ..... just kidding, don't you ever try this!!

Love / Do u girls really like to get poems from men or it's rather overrated? [71]


Someone special? ... heh.. all girls are special you know :)
I was just referring to one of the recent posts (which has unfortunatelly been lost during the last server-backup among many other good posts) ... but I guess I am still the old-fashioned romantic one..


Yea, I think I kind of know what you mean but not entirely. It's usually men who forget the imporance of the above not girls no matter what age :)


nice :)

Language / Pronunciation difference between Ź and Ż / RZ [83]

try saying mea[su]re or plea[su]re - that's the sound of polish rz/ż

polish sz - english [s]ure
polish ś - ?? cannot think of any right now :(

Love / Do u girls really like to get poems from men or it's rather overrated? [71]

here you go kaka, you're the last hope for the "men kind" to end our humiliation :)

Love / Do u girls really like to get poems from men or it's rather overrated? [71]


ok shewolf, let's try then. I am afraid however that some us will rate this one as "weak" as I'm not too good in this :) But what a heck, it's all virtual reality, Kaka won't be able to kick my ass for lack of skills no matter what hehe.

this one would be mine:

" Tak cieplo przytulalismy sie do siebie,
ze nikt nas nigdy nie widzial razem w gniewie,
Tak dlugo patrzylismy w oczy sobie,
Kocham Cie - mowilem wowczas Tobie,
zmienilo sie wiele ...
Tesknie, mysle, zapomniec nie moge latwo!
Plyne w myslach niczym wsrod fal wzburzonych roztrzaskana tratwa!
I juz mysle czasem ze moja nadzieja na zawsze zatonie,
ale jeszcze walcze, nie poddaje sie, chwytam jeszcze wiosla w dlonie... "

this one on the other hand I copied from the following website:
milosc.info/wierszyki/wierszyki-milosne-02-01.php

"Dla Ciebie moje usta, dla Ciebie moje ręce
I oczy dzięki Tobie widzące coraz więcej.
Dla Ciebie moje myśli, dla Ciebie moje słowa,
Którymi swoje serce chcę Tobie ofiarować.
Dla Ciebie wszystkie kwiaty z mej wyobraźni pól
I serce, co bez Ciebie nie zagra żadnej z ról"

I apologize the english speakers, but my poetic creativity levels go down significantly when it comes to writing poems in English :(

Love / Do u girls really like to get poems from men or it's rather overrated? [71]


My Polish language teacher from highschool hated my essays ... I guess there must have been a reason for it :)

Love / Do u girls really like to get poems from men or it's rather overrated? [71]


here is my attempt to translate this, I'm afraid it lost some meaning but here you go shewolf :)

"We felt this warmth when we were hugging each other,
We did not know what anger is,
For so long we would look into each others' eyes,
I love you - I was saying to you then
It's been so much different since then ...
I miss you, I cannot easily forget!
My mind is drifting almost like among rough ocean's waves on the remains of my tiny raft!
And then I begin to believe that my hope will drown forever,
But I still fight, I dont give up, I catch a paddle in my hand ..."

Language / I'm really interested in learning Polish [33]

When I started learning English .. in order to practive the reading comprehension I used to read books for kids.. they have bigger font, easier vocabulary, I found them INTERESTING so I wouldn't get bored or dismotivated, you know, it kept me going ... this way I improved my reading skills and vocabulary. If you try it, and I hope you, read them loud, this helps you notice your own mistakes... I believe you can achieve same results with Polish language.

thanks for a positive review :) Good to know there is a small probability that my chicken-scratch peoms would find some demand in the market out there :P


Opera really IS a major sacrifice for a guy. The last time I was in opera was in Bratislava (Slowakia), tickets were like 15 polish zl for 1st class seat and it was a New Year's Eve Performance - now that's a good exchange rate!

I agree, I wouldn't read them neither, composing and reading are two completely different things ..

USA, Canada / Polish Canadians [117]

I'm Polish Canadian ... living in Waterloo ... where Polish community is rather big but I find them not visible and not involved ... I'm speaking from experience where I tried to run a Polish Students club with my friends here in both universities in town but as I said we haven't had much success ..

Language / English words and expressions used in Polish conemporary language [16]

I've heard some funny ones lately:

"malanżyk" - party
"ściemniać coś" - to lie
"ostra jechanka" - something is cool
"puścić głuchego" - to send SMS

I hope that the above will give you an update in the street-polish language :)

Love / Gift for Polish girls - question [56]

something that would go with the colour of her eyes ... :)

Language / English words and expressions used in Polish conemporary language [16]


ohh ... my bet Miranda. You made the question more difficult than I originally had it in my imagination :) ...

Well, I guess for the Polish-Canadians the following would be pretty often used:
- insurance
- no problem
- experience
I could even hear some attempts of "Polishing" the english words to make them sound Polish .. whatever is the reason for such language development :) ---> ie. "dzwoniłem dzisiaj do inszury"

USA, Canada / Polish Canadians [117]


could be ... I remain optimistic for the warmer period of the year!!

USA, Canada / Polish Canadians [117]


Could be true .. by the way, are there any "polish-speaking" forums for Polish-Canadians / Polish-immigrants?


that sounded so funny, I wish I could see you this way :) Hang on in there! It's just couple months of reezing weather left eek:

Yes, finally some sun is coming back to our Canadian winter. I was waiting for it so badly as I couldn't make any photos of our Canadian fauna & flora this season....

Love / Gift for Polish girls - question [56]

Yes, chocolated always work but they have to come with something else .... maybe nice weekend somewhere far away from her home ... doesn't have to be "a tangible gift" you know :) good luck. I'm sure that whatever you give she will be happy.

USA, Canada / Polish Canadians [117]
