Language / How Many of you love the Polish Language? [79]


That's what i think too ;P
We could also add ć, ś, ź, ż, and the "si", "zi", and "ci" sounds ^^


I wouldn't compare Polish to German cause it's quite different. But i do like German and "every" other Germanic languages. I really like English, Scandi languages are really nice too, even if Icelandic may sound weird... But i've never really heard someone speaking it, just seen texts ;)


Not really... i mean about French. I'm not a big fan of the Italian language, as i'm not a big fan of Spanish language, all these "o", "a", "i", etc. ^^ Even if Spanish was my 2nd language at school...so boring.

The French language is different, it's the most "Germanic" of the Latin languages. You won't find so many words ending in "o", "a" and "i" ;)

Life / How will I be treated in Poland by Polish people? I'm an English person. [26]

I think it depends also on where you're planning on settling down. In big cities, you won't have any problem as there are already many other foreigners. In small villages, it may be different as people are less used to people from other countries. Anyway, i think and hope you'll be great there ;) Good luck.

News / Polish - French relations [41]

I must say that Polish Wódka is easy to find here in France (Sobieski and Żubrówka)


I've been there once, it's a lovely city and must be great at Christmas ;) Why boring ?
This region (Alsace-Lorraine) is the French Silesia ^^ Used to be German, then French, then German again...and finally French ;)


Hehe ;))

News / Polish - French relations [41]

Heyy ! France, i've heard that name before ;))

Yep, good relations between the 2 countries, like always.


My father works at France Télécom :)

About this pic, it was made by the Polish tourist office. It's humoristic, this good-looking Polish plumber says "Je reste en Pologne, venez nombreux" (=I stay in Poland, all welcome). And if i remember well, i think he's actually a real plumber :P

Then, about French people drinking Wódka and Germans drinking Vodka, i don't really know :))


You had fun ? Where did you go ?

Look at this vid -> taken from a French TV show, with a French humorist. I think the man on the pic is the same man here in the vid (3:48)

If you want a "Germans and Dutch" topic, let's create it ;)

Life / Germans and Poles - Fiction or Myth? [127]


Some bruises and injures take a long time to heal, but i think that most of today's Poles (in particular, the youth) aren't hostile to Germans anymore. Of course, you will always find people hating Germans and every nations that invaded and wanted to rule over Poland by force.

I don't know why but when you say "Polish elite" and then say "the Twins", it makes me laugh... ;) Maybe because "elite" sounds to me like smart people... Hehe ;)

Don't worry, the French are the champions in complaining everytime ;)


Of course we can make fun of each other but when it's not fun anymore and getting xenophobic/racist, then one must defend himself ;)

Hei, isn't it Noimmi fav newspaper ? ;)

We'll see what happens next... I think they are totally right to defend themselves.

Genealogy / Polish Silesians? [25]

Tomek, i'm not an expert, but that could be a mix of some German with Polish...
Szpindów...Spind...dunno if it means something in German though...

There are at least 2 different Silesian dialects (or languages), the first one, Upper Silesian, is a mix of Polish, Czech and German, but with a bigger proportion of Polish and Czech than German, and mostly spoken in the Katowice region (i'm not sure about that). The other one, Lower Silesian, used to be spoken in the Wrocław region (once again i'm not 100% sure), is more similar to German, but has almost disappeared since the German people who used to live there had to leave Poland after WW2.

Example of Upper Silesian :

Uojćec naš, keryś je w ńebjy,
bydź pośwjyncůne mjano Twojy.
Přidź krůlestwo Twojy.
Bydź wola Twoja, kjej we ńebje,
tak tyž na źymjy.
Chlyb naš každodźynny dej nům dźśoj.

Example of Lower Silesian :

In German, but with examples ;)
