UK, Ireland / TRUTH AND DELUSION ABOUT POLES IN UK [65]


That's ridiculous, I've never heard/seen any instances of 'Polnophobia'=/, I really don't believe that Canadians in general really know anything about Poles or Poland to be able to judge anyway.

Language / Affectionate endings to Polish girls' names.... [30]

What are some for Alicja besides Ala?

UK, Ireland / Here comes the Anti-Immigration marches.... [114]

In Toronto, the city I live in, the number of immigrants is growing at about 3 times the rate of Canadian born citizens, in the next few years the number of immigrants in Toronto is supposed to rise above 50% of Toronto's population. It is evident when I walk down the street and barely hear a word of English, but people get used to it, we don't complain about it.

I understand the UK has a ridiculous amount of immigrants moving there, 'taking your jobs' but I am certain if anyone who was from the UK actually wanted these jobs they would be given priority over those who barely speak English?

UK, Ireland / Here comes the Anti-Immigration marches.... [114]

Well immigration is supposedly good for the economy....and Canada has tons of immigrants and we barely complain about it yet the UK seems to make a huge deal out of it

UK, Ireland / Here comes the Anti-Immigration marches.... [114]

I don't understand why people are so much against immigration.... the British immigrated/colonized everywhere years and years ago and yet you see nobody complaining.

Language / I want to learn polish from home.... [14]

Learn online....I never bought a single reading materal nor any software(I learned online from websites) and I went to Poland and communicated quite effectively, so I say don't waste your money.

Language / adding się [21]

I wouldn't translate spotkać się as 'see eachother' as zobaczyć się would work for that....more like 'to meet up with eachother' because you're not just seeing somebody, you are physically meeting them somewhere.

Language / adding się [21]

Spotkamy się is 'we will meet eachother'
Adding się can add the word 'eachother', it can refer to 'oneself' or it can totally change the meaning of the verb!

Language / Cases: What is Nominative or Accusative and when do I use those? [14]

Cases are a very difficult matter for native English speakers to grasp(Sometimes even native Polish speakers). Basically adjectives, pronouns, nouns etc inflect(meaning the endings of words change) based on the context they are in inside of a sentence.

There are 7 cases in Polish: Nominative = Subject of sentence(To jest mój dom = This is my house), Accusative = Direct object of a sentence(Widzę dziewczynę = I see a girl), Genitive = Case of posession(To jest matka jego przyjaciela = This is his friend's mother) , Locative = Case of location(Byłem w domu = I was in the house/at home), Instrumental = The tool with which an action is done(Jem widelcem = I'm eating with a fork), Dative = Indirect object of a sentence/Recipient(Dam Ci pieniądze jutro = I will give you money tomorrow), and Vocative = Case of calling out a name or addressing somebody/something.(Hej Dziewczyno! = Hey girl!)

Language / BYKI for Polish [10]

I personally have 'Cześć, jak się masz?:Spotkamy się w Polsce', 'Cześć, jak się masz: Spotkamy się w Europie', and "Z Polskim Na Ty"......The first two are more for beginner while the 2nd is for a more advanced speaker. I also have 'Teach Yourself Polish' By Joanna Michalak-Grey....all very good books!

Language / BYKI for Polish [10]

I would say buy books that teach lessons, they are usually much cheaper and teach so much more.
