Language / Info on Polish Diminutives [14]

Merged: Polish Name diminutives

I was wondering if you have a diminutive for the name "Justyna" in Poland? I know that Tomasz = Tomek and Katarzyna = Kasia for example. :-)

Life / Do Polish pople "live in a toad and prey to the "Holy Ox"? [4]

I had a discussion with a friend of mine because he said that Polish live in a toad and prey to the "Holy Ox". While I swore to him that everyone knows that they live in trees and prey to various holy sculptures made of turf... So am I right or what?? :-)

Life / "Wrong" Polish music [13]

I don't know if they have an equivalent for it in English, but in Dutch we speak about "wrong music" (lit. translated), when it concerns very bad kitschy but funny music which every Dutchmen knows.

I was wondering if you guys could point me to some of those songs in Poland so that I could learn them on my guitar and make my Polish friends laugh when I visit them. :D

Life / "Wrong" Polish music [13]

I think it will suit. Could you give me some songs/artist names?
Furthermore in The Netherlands that sort of kitschy music is not only disco pop, but it ranges from schlager like songs sang by common figures, to "house wife pop", or that is where their public mostly consist of. :P

Thiziz ******* great! -> I love it!!

Language / "ksiegarnia" = "bookshop"? [14]

btw, you can set your Winows to have polish fonts. The instructions were posted in some post in the past.

Or use a Polish dictionary plug-in for Firefox. Then you can right-click and correct the the word. łatwy bardzo! :-)

Language / Advice on a good Polish Dictionary [6]

I'm looking for a good Polish dictionary. I'm thinking of the /Hippocrene-Standard-Dictionary-Polish-English-English-Polish/ - dictionary of Pogonowski, but I'd like your advises. In Dutch I have one pocket dictionary, but it's a bit limited. Dziękuję bardzo in advance (what is in advance in Polish? :-))!

Language / Advice on a good Polish Dictionary [6]

Strange that in the 'Look Inside' pages, one of the views is of a Hindi-English dictionary.

It's strange indeed. I didn't notice. :-P

The only dictionary I can get my hands on is one produced more for Polish speakers learning English, with some notes on usage in the English - Polish section, but shedding little or no light in the Polish - English section.

You mean Longman's one?

in advance = z góry

Dziękuje!

Life / Queuing and Polish people [49]

Or you use the phrase: Pani tu nie stała! Pani nie jest w ciąży!. It's a saying from the communistic time which says: You didn't stood here and you aren't pregnant either.. :-P

Thanks to Dziendobry.nl

Language / Any useful words to tell kids to behave? [19]

Oh I think if grab him firm and tell him that the next time he throws something at you he will be hit, then I'm sure he will understand. Maybe get angry and raise your voice. - Children are not that stupid and they will simmer down if they see it got serious. He he.

It's not that children are bad at that age, but they just look how far they can go. :-)

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

Jeez pal! Good luck! You're a really good friend to help her to get off those drugs. - But keep in mind that mostly it's a life sentence. I know stories of former addicts who where clean for some years and then started again. So look good after her in the future!

Love / friendhship with polish girl [63]

I think she is getting a distance indeed. Point is that she feels probably that you want more then just friendship, and I think she is right with that.

I believe that you helped her because she needed some help, but I think also that you have stronger feelings for her else you wouldn't mention the guys with whom she went out.

Like some on the forum said, just try to forget her. Those type of girls are mostly so interested in their selves that they are not looking for friends but only for people who can please them 100%. No-one can please someone for 100%, so they will be alone until they change their attitude.

I wasted one year on such a girl and I hope you won't do the same. Keep in mind that a person can look sooo cute but if that person is very selfish, you cannot have a nice relation with her.

In the end you don't want yourself ending up working, cleaning, cooking, doing the kids while she is polishing her nails and watching show news. ;-)

Most people are stupid so don't put too much money and effort in them. Save your money for good friends! :-)

PS - I'm not saying that she should love you, but just some kindness is in place I think. She could ask you out, or at least answer on you sms I think. I had some girls who loved me but I didn't loved them, but once and then I went out with them just to give them a good time because I think that it is nice if you can make someone happy with just a bit of effort.

Edit:

And about those other guys, you have a big chance that they have nothing more then their flash and cash. If you read some threats on the forum, girls mostly want someone who is interesting and pays attention to them and is romantic once in a while.

Love / Are men more unhappy about being single than women [47]

Im gonna have to take off my shoes and beat them with it.

<3

No. I met many many many great boys in life and didnt fall in love. Just dont want and dont do :D
It is possible.

I think you actually want to fall in love, but you are way too afraid to get hurt. So you build up a nice wall..?
