Under the Eagle (Pod Orłem) in Hamtramck......

Anyone from MI been there lately? I haven't been there in almost two years and was wondering if it was still there. The only reason I ask is because Hamtramck (im told) is being taken over by ****** people doing ****** things.

Going to MI in August and was definitely going to stop in.......

Language / When does polish "ch" sound like eng "ch" and when is it "h"? [59]

Are there official rules as to when "ch" makes the english "h" and when it makes the english "ch" sound? Ive heard it as 'ch' as in chowa, but mostly it is just an 'h.'

I suspect it is either placement or something to do with vowels surrounding.
TIA

Yep , Restauracja Pod Orlem's still there . I moved out to the suburbs but my family still lives in Hamtown . ( go to Polonia restaurant tho on Yemans street - it's MUCH better I.M.op.)

We really liked the staff at Pod Orłem last time. Thanks for the suggestion and we will definitely check that place out too when we visit.

p.s. - Hamtowns ALWAYS been full of ******* people , it's part of the charm ! hahah

Well that makes me feel a little better to know it's not rapidly getting worse.....

Language / When does polish "ch" sound like eng "ch" and when is it "h"? [59]

...so I went back and listened very carefully to where i heard the Polish "ch" that sounded like english "ch." I realize that it was a soft, unstressed sound followed by the beginning of a hard "h" stressed sound. My native english brain was trying to hear what it thought it should intead of what it actually was. Thanks,

USA, Canada / Americans give up smoking due to tobacco tax increase [7]

I smoke a briar pipe and the tobacco went up maybe 2 USD. A bag will last me about a month so it doesn't really affect me.

Occasionally I smoke cigars, and that is a noticible increase. About 2-3 USD a cigar depending on the type. I did start smoking fewer cigars.

USA, Canada / Americans give up smoking due to tobacco tax increase [7]

Ahhh....the lost art of proper grammer and punctuation.
I hope Obama makes cigarettes 15.00 a pack. I don't give a **** about the tobacco taxes. Nor do I give a **** about the taxes on the tobacco products that I personally smoke. It is a self-indulgence; not a necessity.

I can afford a lot more tobacco now at its current slightly-higher price than I could when gas (a necessity) was over 4.00 a gallon.

Language / When does polish "ch" sound like eng "ch" and when is it "h"? [59]

I have been seeing this a lot in a eng-pol phrasebook....
Some of the polish words that start with ch will start with kch sound for the english pronunciation of the word. It is starting to get kind of annoying.

take in to consideration that a soft vowel sound before a sharp "h" sound can sometimes kind of sound like a soft "k." Native english speakers brains want to hear how it is said and not necessarily what is said....If that makes sense.

I wasn't trying to being mean. I just thought it was strange that there were quite a few of these in the short time I have been a member. I meant no malice.

I am friendly. I guess I just have kind of a dry sense of humor.....

That's the problem with posting conversation, you may mean it as light hearted or in a joking manner but to the person reading it could be interpreted wrong. I wasn't trying to be harsh but if you have had your heart broken you do almost anything to get over it.

Let me guess, you joined this forum to post something about your missing pole too!!!!! jk.

If somebody is on the internet posting their life and intimate relationships they are opening themselves up for whatever other people want to say. Jokes, Sentiment, Hate, Ridicule, Compassion, whatever it may be.

I think a lot more men post messages like that on here.

I haven't come across a single one yet. I'm sure they have and will though.

Actually I did meet a great polish guy but there was no promise of marriage at all. We just had a great time together and when he left to go home that was the end. He didn't take my money and run or leave me stranded. I hope to meet another guy who I can make that happy and can make me happy! :)

Exactly!

Mods changed my thread topic twice now. I read this one and I thought "hey! I made a thread just like that!" haha.

USA, Canada / Polish attractions in Michigan----outside of Hamtramck [8]

I'm going to Michigan in 3 weeks and was wondering if there were any good polish related things/places I should know about. I read the various restaurant/market threads and Hamtramck threads, which were both really helpful. Anything else?

I'll be in the Royal Oak/Warren/Detroit/Sterling Heights/St. Claire Shores areas as I have family in each.

Genealogy / "-ski" last names more desirable in Poland? [28]

I read on here somewhere that -ski last names were originally used to designate royalty or elite families. Correct?

If so, are the non -ski's jealous of the -ski's?

Love / I would love to meet a Polish woman..they are so attractive! [33]

Two weeks ago i had a meal in the FART resteraunt in Poznan , good food , but the name of the place made me smile a bit....

Explain the FART restaurant to me.......Obviously a funny name in english, is it supposed to sound trendy or does it mean something when translated?
