Language / Polish Gender in foreign word borrowings [26]

For when I can be bothered to, I have a Polish characters file in Word.
I copied all the funny letters in alphabetical order, saved it, and now I can copy and paste to my heart's content.

This one! I have to search around the forum looking for the different characters :-)

This has just given me a marvellous idea

A secret idea or one you would like to share?? :-)

sledz

Thanks sledz, I'll try and work out how to do that.

Language / Polish Gender in foreign word borrowings [26]

I can change the language in the language bar to Polish and it says when in a Word doc that its set to Polish language but if I do this bit

you want it to have a little "thingy" press Alt & Ctr at the same time and voila: śćżź

nothing happens. I don't get any letter at all, let alone one with a little "thingy" :-(

I'm probably doing something really simple wrong!

Love / I miss my best friend [22]

I think you have to consider how hard this must have been for her.. because she never wanted to split, so I can understand her saying that she can't be friends with you.

I said exactly the same to my ex. I do have to see him because we have children together, but I wish I could just get on with life without him. If it were an option to not see him again then it is what I would do.

Some people do manage to be friends, but it is my opnion that this doesn't happen often.

It's a sad situation for both of you :-(

Love / Why my Polish girlfriend's mother started to ignore me? [74]

so she will still be sick in mornings etc.

This is an odd thing to say. Being sick in the mornings is the least of her worries and why the morning? What makes you think that is when the withdrawal symptoms kick in? Its not the same as being pregnant.

Like I said, if this is for real, the sickness is the least of your worries as she'll find the most simplest of ways to cure that.

I know exactly what he was refering to, but to me, the way he put 'being sick in the morning etc' makes me think he doesn't really know anything about heroin addiction.

Thats what I meant. I am sceptical. It sounds like someone speaking who has only seen an addict going cold turkey on the TV or in films. Anyone who has witnessed first hand, ie been with them day and night, an addict going cold turkey will know that its not a morning thing. Watching someone go cold turkey is harrowing.

Edit.. sorry if that sounds like I'm biting your head off Wroclaw boy! I just don't quite believe this thread and it's touching a raw nerve for me.

I'm not insulting you, but you need to read what you have written.

Three weeks is nothing... come back in ten years and tell me how you feel then. I'm serious.

I can tell you that every day I fear that phone call.. every single day

All I am saying is if you are for real and this is the situation for your gf then I would be far more worried if she will still be here tomorrow than whether she's sick in the morning. Honestly, this is what I have worried about every day for ten years.

No: 1 award for i aint got a clue what im talking about

Are you suggesting I don't know what I'm talking about? If you are, then you truly are a fool.

Ask the creator of this thread if I know what I'm talking about or not, you pr*ck!

My comments were to the author of this thread and we have discussed it at length, but not on this thread.

If you feel that you need to throw insults and b*tchy comments at someone, then fine, why not give it to me? Someone's gonna get it so it may as well be me.

Hey, don't worry about the comments over why it happened, as that is irrelevant now. You are where you are and it's only how you proceed from here that matters now.

I wish you the best of luck :-)

Love / Pick up lines - the Polish style [110]

That's awful! A fast track way of getting a slap I reckon.

(By the way, I think there was a thread like this one already somewhere)

Love / Things not to do with a Polish girl? [97]

Well, relationships at 15 are generally hard work anyway, so don't panic!

But if you look around the forum, particularly in Polish Love and Relationships you will see that many of us have trouble with our Polish boyfriends/girlfriends, etc.

I can't advise you directly on how to treat a Polish girl as I am not Polish, but what I have learnt from having a Polish boyfriend is that if you stick with it and keep working at it then it does get better and any little cultural differences or language barriers can be overcome.

Good luck :-)

Love / Things not to do with a Polish girl? [97]

Oh yeah. There can be problems with the family, my guys family hated me on first mention because I'm English. I don't know if thats a common problem or not though.

Other people will always have a comment about whoever you like and its almost always just a load of cr*p anyway! You have to go with how you feel. They probably ask you why you like a Polish person just because it's a bit different to them and they are like sheep, just following the herd and not daring to do something different to what everyone else is doing.

Don't worry about that though because I don't think you'll find this as much of a problem as you get older. Well, I haven't had this problem anyway. No-one has asked me why I like a Polish guy!

I'm glad you've found this forum though. I think you'll find it helpful.

Love / why wont he communicate? going crazy [90]

That is such a frustrating situation Okay because all you want is to know what's going on and there is so much doubt hanging in the air. Did he get your messages? What's going on and what is he thinking?

But speculation aside I think Sapphire made a very valid point, whatever is going on he should have contacted you and if he hasn't then the most likely reason is because he's selfish!

It is a horrible feeling though when you don't know what is happening or, if it's over, then what went wrong. It can drive you crazy!

I hope things don't get you down too much. There's always bigger and better things out there in life :-)

Love / why wont he communicate? going crazy [90]

maybe i should text him

You remind me of myself! Haha

In that type of situation I would fluctuate between sending him a ranting text, then think maybe I should send a nice text and just chill a bit and then I'd be upset again!?

But Marek is right, it does just end up making you look and feel stupid. You know how it is, you go one text too far (or in some cases 20 texts too far!!)

I don't know what to suggest because I would also want an answer, I'd want to just be told straight, but you don't want to look desperate as Marek says or pee him off by bugging him all the time.

miranda

I agree with what you are saying Miranda, but I think Marek made that comment because okay has sent many texts and there does come a point when you need to stop.

I have sent texts out of desperation and regardless of how it looks to other people, it doesn't make you feel good yourself to send a message when you are at such a low point. You can't delete it once it's sent, so sometimes its better to wait until you are calm and then make contact.

If I feel I might be sending a dodgy message I just write it out on my phone and then save it and if I still am happy with it a few hours later or even the next day, then i will send it!

I don't think it's a good idea. Some people don't like surprises. How do you envisage a good outcome from doing this because I can see ways for it to go badly but not really any good?

Thats just my opinion though :-)

If you just wait for a while, lets say until the end of this week and then review the situation again things may look different.

You can text him again, but it doesn't have to be right now. Just wait for a bit. That doesn't mean you have to give up on him completely. Its more like just sitting on your hands and waiting to see how you feel in a bit and if anything has changed.

Love / My Polish guy - loves me he loves me not [73]

Maybe he's not very brave?

If it were me I'd probably wait until you came in the shop than do this:

Hello?
- I'm that chap from the shop.

Good luck though :-)

Love / IS MY BOYFRIEND CHEATING? I went to Poland with him. [158]

You are right Bubbles (nice to see you back on PF by the way!!)

But she must be really hurting and its so easy to say just walk away but its soooo hard to do. Some people can be so cruel... I was going to say some men can be so cruel but then I thought, there's just as many women out there who break men's hearts!

when he comes back i have to hug and kiss him. or the plan wont work

I wouldn't stoop to his level by getting involved in deception and lies. I think you should rise above it and walk away.

Life / Legally changing my Polish name to English one? [55]

I don't know about the legalities of changing your name, but I don't think you should do it just because some of us can't pronounce it!

I can't say Marcin properly either because I can't roll my 'r' so it just sounds the same as marching. But my Marcin likes to be called Martin anyway. He says to him it is the same thing.
