So many words for "Kisses" in Polish?

Why are there so many words for kiss in Polish?
Calus, Buziak, Pocalunek etc.

What are the differences?

it show that they love kissing:Dit is good...

you forgot about "cmok" :)

why are there so many words for kiss-does each word describe a different type of kiss or level of committment to whom its being said?

A question for you...

why not? :P

and no, it does not describe anything, those are just "exchanges" for the standard one "kiss"

in english we say kiss
also "smaker"-slang word

the polish language seems to decribe actions better

True... And it's much more interesting when you can use 10 words to describe something instead of just one.

Hmm, let me think...
Cmok = smooch
Buziak is rather informal. For example you'd say it to a child "Daj buziaka mamusi"
Pocałunek is all purpose good one :)
And "całus" sounds kinda noble. And in some tenses there is no verb form of "pocałować", you have to use "całować" then (for example in present: "I'm kissing" - "Ja całuję")

because we are very 'kissable'... and if we like something so much, we start making up more words :D

do you always answer your own questions? ;)

we're just that damned adorable. haha.

my babcia used to tell me "da me buji" haha

HOW DO YOU Say "...kisses" as an ending a message?

Buziaki generally.

Well...
buzi - kiss
Daj mi buzi - Give me a kiss

Całuski - kisses
For example like in a phone conversation
No to do zobaczenia, całuski - Ok, see you, kisses (sending kisses)

Całuski i buziaki or buziaczki means the same ;-)
