Language / mój - moja [28]

yea it would be kolezanka if you were on friendly terms with her. If you didn't like her then that word would not be used.

Language / mój - moja [28]

Another thing is that "kolega/koleżanka" is a colleague.
And a friend is "przyjaciel/przyjaciółka"

I wasn't saying that the statement was false I was saying his implication that kolega is not a friend but a colleague is false.

But now that I think of it his statement is false as well. If you don't like your colleague you would not say kolega, thus meaning that kolega does not mean colleague, but a person whom you are friendly with. A colleague CAN be your kolega, but not necessarily.

Language / The final "ę" [29]

If you're educated and proper you will pronounce the "ę" at the end of a word, although it doesn't sound awful if you don't. An "ę" before an "ł" is an "e" sound whereas it stays as an "ę" sound after the "ł" (the word łęczna, for examle).

Also, an "ę" is NOT an "en" or "em" sound. Once would sound really stupid pronouncing "się" as "sien" or "siem". Same goes for dziękuję, etc.

Life / My Ode to Poland [4]

A little poem I wrote that stresses Poland's importance in my life

The Salute

Every day
I pass The Flag,
And look at it with glee,
I raise my arm,
"Salute" I yell-
How greatly I love thee

Comments? Reflections? Did I show how much I love Poland, or should I try harder?

Always saluting,

Life / Communion, why do only half of church-goers in Poland take it? [41]

It's rather disrespectful not to partake in the ceremony.

actually Seanus you're just unfamiliar with Polish custom. In Poland one only goes to take communion if one was at confession not too long ago. It is considered disrespectful going to communion if you haven't been to confession (or in church for that matter) for 2 years or so as everyone does it here in the US.

Life / Foreigner singing the Polish National Anthem :) [40]

pictures wouldn't prove anything... I could just take any picture off of google images. Our IPS are different and I'm sure moderators can see that so we're obviously different people.

Always Loving Poland,

Genealogy / Is Grudnik name Polish? [11]

My last name is Grudnik but I am afraid this name may be German (everyone that came through Ellis Island with that last name was German).

Can someone verify whether or not this name is Polish?

I am getting very worried can I please have an answer

Thread attached on merging:

This is a new thread in which we write poems that praise Poland/ are written ftggoP (for the greater glory of Poland)

POLANDOWNS and myself may post them all over NYC in order to help spread the news about how wonderful Poland is. Post if you consent to this (hopefully we will get thousands of poems)

People may also comment on the intensity of the poems written
