Food / traditional breakfasts in Poland [74]

You should try Peanut butter and jelly with sliced Bananas ....yummy

I first tried it in the US after we climbed with my Polish friend in the mountains. Typically american food, really good to recharge energies. The only problem I don't like peanut butter. Do Poles eat it a lot in Poland?

Food / traditional breakfasts in Poland [74]

I eat white bread only with fish eggs

Red caviar+white bread+butter... :) I know. In the US it seems they don't know red caviar's edible.
I prefer black (sturgeon) caviar but it became to be extremely expensive so that I haven't eaten it for the last five years.

wholemeal rye bread with sunflower seeds.

Yeah, that's what I buy here. If I'm not mistaken it sounds in Polish pretty much the same as in Russian... "chleb" or smth... :)

pawian

Is it a wine or kompot (compote) in the glass? Bread (is it?) on the right is similar to Polish bread I sometimes buy in European shop in the US.

History / History of European and Poland's anti-semitism [192]

Because, then i'll look like absolute as*hole, and I don't want to be an as*hole without weighty reasons. It's first! And the second is, it is just a great work to assume another point of view, so it's better for me to force somebody to accept mine.

It's just a fascinating sincerity, Kostia... :)))

What about Nord Stream and Russian expansionist doctrine.

"Zub za zub"... how we and Czechs say... :) I told you the problem was mutual. I don't trust leaders of my country either (nor I trust yours). What I say is that in fact they are both not interested at all in any closer relationships. They at present take different scale pans.

Poland tries to have normal neighbourhood with you

They don't. It's illogical to strive after the better relationship with Russia dancing at american pipe and installing missile shield in Poland. In its turn Rus Gov prudently touches the chord of Polish gov's unfriendly moves in order to better show Russians that nowadays Poland are none of friend. The problem is mutual.

History / History of European and Poland's anti-semitism [192]

It's considered that most of Jews as a main force of coup d'état came from Poland.

4) Jews controlled a large part of the liquor making/distribution business, and kept Poles drunk

Exactly. On the way from Russia to Poland they opened "Shinkarni" (it's a thieves' jewish cant) where they sold narcotics and liquors.

News / GERMANS WANT TO GERMANIZE KOPERNIK (COPERNICUS)! OUTRAGE! [1016]

What does it mean German ?

Julek you brought a good issue: nationality is a question of selfidentification rather than of blood and your mother has every right to be Polish having German surname.

But BB stated another point:

Who called himself "prussian german mathematician"?

Which might mean he [Kopernik] bracketed himself with Germans?! What do you think?

Did you read that article Sasha?

Honestly not (I was devoured by your discussion) but now I've read and I see it's about the same to what you've said here. It looks good I merely want to hear something alike from Poles and wanted to be as neutral as possible.

How about the nowadays Germany? Have you heard of anybody with Koppernigk surname?

News / GERMANS WANT TO GERMANIZE KOPERNIK (COPERNICUS)! OUTRAGE! [1016]

Nice to know but why should Kopernikus family called after "dill"???

We eat that with fish...:(

He-he... in Russian the last name "Ukropov" (Dillman) would sound funny. I like dill with salmon. :)

His mother was Barbara Watzenrode, after his (unknown to us) father died he was brought up by the family of Bishop Lukas Watzenrode....german was his mother tongue, he visited german schools, wrote his books in latin and german and used a very explicit signature in all of his works:

Quite decisively. :) Now your turn Julek.
Firstly we now have to finally make up our minds on what we really need to take into consideration judging Kopernik's personality: his cultural values and direction or his genetics (whether he was Polish by blood or German).

Where is the reason for "dill"??? I don't understand...

The reason is that word "koper" is meaningful in Polish. It means "dill", -nik is also slavic. This theory looks good as well as your theory about germanic origins of his last name.

Well if also take into consideration that he spoke german, then would be the leader but how about facts he spoke polish? And how do we know that he was upbrought in german traditions?

Goodnight my Slavic brothers and sisters...

Good night, bro! :)

Again:

...and the -lingk ending indicated someone who dabbled in copper. It has been the custom of German people to take on the occupations or the town names as last names.

Ok BB, that's a good point. But look at Julekcg's dill-version. It sounds plausible as well.
So "the battle for Copernik" Ger-Pol 1 - 1 so far.

Goodnight my Polish brothers and sisters.

Hey, why only "polish"?! :( Where do you guys live right now? In Moscow it's morning now. I thought you Filios lived in Greece.

News / GERMANS WANT TO GERMANIZE KOPERNIK (COPERNICUS)! OUTRAGE! [1016]

Seems everybody who is now online posting in this thread only. :)

It reminds me of the town Koepenick...you know....in Berlin :)

nik is typically slavic suffix. :) The base reminds me of "copper" only... :)) (metal) and doesn't look slavic.

Polish word koper means in english dill

Cool. :) In Russian it's "ukrop". Close. :) Good to know.

But do you violently oppose them?

I just oppose with no "violently". The word "violently" undermeans fanatism, which is bad and I always try to avoid that feeling.

2. If he really felt so proud to be German, he would have helped his fellow brethren in capturing more Polish land

That's not the point. I'm proud to be Russian but this doesn't mean I always share my government's views and humour them.

Nah...Slavs have roundish heads...not so long, quadratic skulls like germanics!

Heh... My Lithuanian friend bought a car in Germany and had to get a transit visa in Poland. He [friend] has a dolichocephalic (long) skull (rather germanic type) and fair hair. When he took a picture n Poland for visa, they rounded his head and made him red-haired. Awesome picture!!! :))) Pure Polack! :))

Subj: I'm quite sideliner here... but just wonder... BB, does Kopernik sound german to you? Or you claim his last name were forcibly altered to Kopernik from any german version of this word? For me Kopernik sounds rather Slavic...
