Life / RUSSIAN BLACK TERRIERS...are there any in Poland...? [8]

BrutalButcher

Husky

Those are mine favourite dogs either. Never seen more devoted dogs. I heard that one has to train husky daily or otherwise they fall sick. They need running like air to breath.

Feedback / How about adding country flag to the user profile ? [34]

By the way, IP address can be stored at the time of registration, no need to keep on tracing someone down ;)

Then I'm gonna be American right to doomsday, which is not true. :)

Ever get tired of flaming , Peanus

Ha-ha :)))

Feedback / How about adding country flag to the user profile ? [34]

What do you guys think?

It's a good idea :)

That's why we need geo auto detection

Oh... is it like birdbanding with a GPS-system? :) Always dreamt about that!
Seriously if you meant IP-detection it might not work either.

History / History of the crime ; Bandera, UPA and Podole Polish land. [116]

And Nathan is telling me that Ukrainians are not Poles. OF COURSE THEY ARE! :-)

Hm... :) In Slavic (in Ukrainian in this particular case) it's a lot funnier. :)) too bad you can't read cyrillic. Oh... here we go:

Zaporoscy Kozacy do sułtana tureckiego! Ty, sułtanie, diable turecki, przeklętego diabła bracie i towarzyszu, samego Lucyfera sekretarzu. Jaki z Ciebie do diabła rycerz, jeśli nie umiesz gołą dupą jeża zabić. Twoje wojsko zjada czarcie gówno. Nie będziesz Ty, sukin Ty synu, synów chrześcijańskiej ziemi pod sobą mieć, walczyć będziemy z Tobą ziemią i wodą, kurwa Twoja mać. Kucharzu Ty babiloński, kołodzieju macedoński, piwowarze jerozolimski, garbarzu aleksandryjski, świński pastuchu Wielkiego i Małego Egiptu, świnio armeńska, podolski złodziejaszku, kołczanie tatarski, kacie kamieniecki i błaźnie dla wszystkiego co na ziemi i pod ziemią, szatańskiego węża potomku i chuju zagięty. Świński Ty ryju, kobyli zadzie, psie rzeźnika, niechrzczony łbie, kurwa Twoja mać.

O tak Ci Kozacy zaporoscy odpowiadają, plugawcze. Nie będziesz Ty nawet naszych świń wypasać. Teraz kończymy, daty nie znamy, bo kalendarza nie mamy, miesiąc na niebie, a rok w księgach zapisany, a dzień u nas taki jak i u was, za co możecie w dupę pocałować nas!

This should work better... :)

No, Nathan is not Polish... :\

History / History of the crime ; Bandera, UPA and Podole Polish land. [116]

did I touch the sensitive spot Sashenka?

By your provocative post where you called me "crazy" for no reason? :) Mmm... I believe you should have touched the spot of your conscience (if you have it of course).

Russian regime killed their own people for goodness sake. Never forget that. It is like turning against your own "family". Nothing can compare to that

Why are you saying that to me? and what does it have to do with this thread? Soviet regime had its own crimes and Bandera did his own.

Sashenka

Like when gals call me this way *blushing cheeks* :)

Life / What Do Poles think of Finns? [50]

It just depends which classification you choose to give weight to.

Exactly. :) I just thought it would be more correct to use a genuinely Scandinavian source on that. We (russkie, schotlandci i poliaki) still can think whatever we want, right?

So they use two words to distinguish different things: "Scandinavien" (Norway, Denmark, Sweden) and "Norden" (3 mentioned+FI, Iceland, Finland).

Life / What Do Poles think of Finns? [50]

There are many authorities that include Finland as part of Scandinavia. Go and check wikipedia.

Swedish wiki wrote:

Skandinavien är ett geografiskt och kulturellt område i norra Europa. Vanligen används termen i kulturell och språklig bemärkelse och omfattar då Sverige, Danmark och Norge, där man talar skandinaviska språk.

Scandinavia is geographic and cultural area in north Europe. The normally used term in cultural and linguistic senses which includes Sweden, Denmark and Norway, where Scandinavian languages are spoken. :)

AFAIK, Sean, Swedes use the more general term "Norden" (The North) which is close to aforesaid but also includes Iceland and Faeroe Islands (am I right Polsky Szwed? ;))

Finns from my Russian perspective are not Swedes and the language they speak is close to Hungarian or to what Russian Kareli or Mordva speak.

Food / Mushroom Picking Parties (Poland tradition) [74]

In Poland it's known as "podgrzybek brunatny".

Yeah, I read it in Polish wiki. :) Brunatny=brown?

Why do you call it Polish mushroom?

I'm not sure about the ethimology. That probably somehow related to to Poles who lived in Russia... or maybe there's a belief that it was firstly brought from Poland. Another name of it "Pansky grib", as you see there's also trace of Poland in this name. :)

Some people call it also "dubovik" (dub=oak-tree), but that's wrong. Dubovik is what pawian posted above:

It happens that during holidays that I spent in the mountains I consume large quantities of mountain borowik ceglastopory

Food / How often do you have Polish Food? [49]

I can easily believe you. An apple-pie (sharlotka) cooked by two different persons living next to each other (no matter whether it's in Poland or in Russia) will taste differently. I just thought you knew of some basic distinctions in preparation. I for one do not know of any. Do you?

Food / How often do you have Polish Food? [49]

pierogi are not vareniki and they are not russian, you russians think everything on earth started in russia:P

What's the difference between your pierogi and vareniki?
I do not have a habit to label things "Russian". :)

you russians think everything on earth started in russia

and wódka is polish.

lol
Well... considering that Mendeleev was partially Polish you're right to a large extent.

and in ukraine every soup is called borsch.

In some areas they probably do but those who I've talked to named that way only beet-soup. So do Russians. Of course taste of all dishes differs depending on particular area. I bet my neughbours' borsch is something different. :)

You're right though saying that Ukrainian food is generally fatty. in Ukraine they threw to borsch the whole piece of salo (pig fat) thus you could only eat it while it was hot. :)

Life / WINTER PREPERATION FOR YOUR CAR IN POLAND [10]

Same goes for screenwash , what words on the bottle will tell me if i put it in as it is , or dilute it...???

there should be a temperature mentioned somewhere on the bottle till which it stays liquid. That's the way it's normally is in Russia. How much does screen wash cost in Poland?

As for antifreeze... why don't you want to use the one that recommended for your car by a producer?
I bought a can for my peugeot and add it whenever I need. I use the same liquid all the year long.

Food / How often do you have Polish Food? [49]

Borsch, vareniki (pierogi), knedli, guliash, golubci (those rolled into cabbage leaves), kolbasa (kielbasa) all that I eat occasionally. Polish food? :) Ok I agree... I would only need then to start a thread "How often do Poles eat Russian food?"

Even though I haven't been on Polish cuisine for a long time, I believe I can switch to it easily as it doesn't distinguish drastically from that of Russian.

History / Farewell of Slavianka - who is able to understand Poles ? [48]

Sasha, bad Yanks don't like postings in Russian.
Check your PM pls.

Thanks Boria. :) I liked the text. It sounds humane to me, as if it's first and foremost written by people and for people (not for the governmental needs).

Soroka, in Russian means boasting but empty character

Kostia, priwet! Do you personally know any Poles and whatever your answer is... how would describe then a Russian character? Wouldn't aforesaid fit him either?

Sean, do you speak any Scottish or it's as dead as Lenin? :)

UPD:

Sroka in Polish would be sb who steals from others

So is in Russian. Konst's simply making up new meanings. :)

History / Farewell of Slavianka - who is able to understand Poles ? [48]

And who will be his victim?

prince obama. :)

Poor kid...only 12 of age and already Russian ...

Ha-ha... good1 :)) well... being Russia is a diagnosis in a way.

Boria is there a translation of your song anywhere?

However, as far as I remember Russia didn't do much to stop NATO from bombing
Serbia and prevent the dismantling of Yugoslavia. Or did they do anything substantial?

They fed Serbs with promises of sending S-300 (anti-aircraft missile complex). Of course they didn't send them, that would be a suicide.

Language / What's the difference between 'swoje' & 'moje'? [35]

SzwedwPolsce

Tusen tack, bud for the detailed explanation. I already understood my mistake. :) I always tend to mix up "sin" with "sig". :(

The analogies of moj i twoj in Swedish will be "min" och "din" appropriately. Am I right? :)

Language / What's the difference between 'swoje' & 'moje'? [35]

In Swedish we have a reflexive pronoun that works just like "swój", although it's only used in the third person. To use the equivalent of "jego" in the example above in Swedish, though, would be considered totally incorrect, and make a person sound rather unintelligent.

I think your understanding is correct. I might be wrong but in my book the analogy can be drawn as follows: mig(sw)=moj, sig(sw)=swoj.

In Russian we have moj/swoj too.
Lycka till med polska! ;)

News / Poland's place in changing world order? [74]

Poland's place in changing world order?

Kost' was that some kind of after-couple-beers-at-holiday reasoning you wanted to share with us? :) Pls say "yes" or otherwise I can't take it seriously. Russia has a huge dunghill to shovel away in front. It's too big to mind other's business.

Yet it's a great pleasure to see PF#1s subconsciously pro-Polish Russian (Const) and subconsciously pro-Russian Pole (Borrka) generously exchanging their fraternal feelings towards each other. :)

Peredishka lol.

Bor', you never fail to impress me with your deep knowledge of Russian. :)

Especialy those with Toi Toi* babushkas....

He-he... I see you were in Moscow. So how was your trip? Providing your drastically changed rhetoric on Russia I assume that you mostly enjoyed staying here. Am I right? How's your Russian? I remember you were planning to take Russian classes here.

* for our American friends: "toi-toi" is Russian analogy of American "honey bucket".

You're all guys have an easy week! ;)

News / Slavic linguistic union inside of EU; Polish language official [95]

And what is wrong with balalaykas???

Nothing. Just Boria likes the metaphor and taking classes of it at the moment. :) Boria, priwet!!

Boria the former Yugo was a communistic formation. Doesn't this fact scare you? Besides, the overall (relative) prosperity was reached at the price of oppression Serbs and giving extra rights to alboes which eventually ended up with... we all see that, no need to specify.

The fact that they didn't force you to speak Serbian doesn't mean they would never do that.
Kak dela, kstati?

As for the topic... I like the idea of any kind of Slavic union no matter whether it with or without Russian attendance. However I don't see enough reasons to set up the Polish language as the official one within them.

News / If Poland is attacked by Russia will N.A.T.O help defend Poland or not? [171]

We should call our first nuclear missile - "Hetman Chodkiewicz" :-)

I suggest that you call it "Ziolkowski" after the father of Russian aerospace engineering of Polish origins. ;)

Remind me - how many years did it take Russia to finally defeat those
Chechenyan highlanders (all 17 of them ;))?

We didn't win it and we'll never win. Neither the US will in Afghanistan or Iraq. Muslim lunatics with their geeeee-had are never ending story. :)

If Poland will be attacked by Russia

Keep dreaming! :)

News / Poland is the most friendly neighbor of Ukraine and Russia - Ukrainian poll ... [132]

Hmm... I guess things are just a bit more complicated than you want 'em to be represented. No one at least on the official tribune want to be anti- anything. Likewise I don't want Poles to be pictured antirussian either before or after partition(s). That's more about the state's will to expand boundaries at any price, mutual will I should say.

Yet if we want to stick with "zub za zub" (tit for tat)-logic we have to be honest from the very start, precisely get back to the beginning of XVII century and (if mention Napoleon times) the very same year (1812) of XIX century. Yes, I know we both can provide each other with lots of excuses... should we though? :) The best we can do now is not letting ourselves to dance to politicians' tune, or otherwise we're taking a risk of shooting ourselves in the foot over again. Blod kan inte tvättas bort med blod. Förstod du mig? :)
