News / Wal-Mart coming to Poland? [146]

So you're disputing this:

I am not disputing this. Having a crappy job is not a good option. Period.

Seriously? I suspect unemployed poor Polish folks might disagree with your brainwashed propaganda.

I wouldn't know. All I know is that I have an opinion and the last time I checked- PF is a discussion forum.

News / Wal-Mart coming to Poland? [146]

I know it's not allover Poland like that but working at Walmart can be only better than that, right?

we will see. Just because the company in non -Polish does not mean that they will not find a loop in order to avoid underpaying their employees.

400 PLN was few years ago and I am sure she is making much more at the moment.

News / Wal-Mart coming to Poland? [146]

Even crappy jobs are better than no jobs.

pretty brainwashed by the American propaganda- congratulation, your brain is a mash;)

Last time I've been there, wherever I looked there was a supermarket or a bank.

true.

some chains moved in and out of Poland over the years. Must be the tax exemption those chains are taking advantage off. After running the business for a couple of years, they move out. Now I am wondering if that is the case at all, but that it how it used to be 8 years ago.

News / Wal-Mart coming to Poland? [146]

is rumoured to sell off its assets in Poland, with a possible bid rumoured to come from American shopping giants Wal-Mart.

Iam glad it is rumour because Wal- Mart has really bad when it comes to clothing.

Po polsku / Polska jest dyktaturą? [129]

Moim zdaniem, rząd czyni słusznie, gdyż padre R. nie raz dał się poznać jako zagorzały krytyk Unii Europejskiej, określając ją jako organizację diabelską. Gdyby padre miał choć trochę rozumu, o honorze nie wspominając, to nie zgłaszałby się po fundusze nielubianej przez siebie Unii, a skoro się zgłasza, to Platforma - jako partia rządząca - zmuszona jest dbać za niego o jego własny chrześcijański wizerunek.

podobaja mi sie inteligentne wypowiedzi. Padre Rydzyk jest niezlym graczem, ale skarzenie sie na forum Unii Europejskiej swiadczy o tym, ze zaczyna mu brakowac argumentow i ze swoja, choc duza wladze zaczyna tracic, bo zaczyna sie zachowywac, jak zdesperowana osoba.

to tyle ode mnie na ten temat.

że nowy platforemrski rząd wycofał się z poparcia dla geotermii, choć odnawialna energia jest dziś na topie.

bo bylo to nieoplacalne.

Ponadto platformerska min. oświaty sprawiła, że uniwersytet Rydzyka w Toruniu nei dostał funduszy unijnych...

bo sa lepsze cele, na ktore mozna wydac pieniadze unijne, niz ten watpliej jakosci Uniwersytet- juz wystarczajaco pieniedzy wyludzil od naiwnych emerytow.

Language / Ukrainian language similar to Polish? [236]

Sorry, Aphrodisiac, but I do :)

my ear must be really failing me;). I am not a specialist, but you told me once that my Ukrainian is pretty good - so I am happy:)

Thanks a lot, Aphro

I didn't really contribute that much, on the other hand Language Buff and Woo did- those are great posts.

Nope. You will be skinned alive and smoked for a kabanos :)

I have a feeling that Antek can make it anywhere, so he will be fine in (the) Ukraine too;). Sausage or not;P

NOW: going back on topic. Here is a video of Haydamky and VooVoo singing a song together. See for yourself if Polish and Ukrainian are similar;)



oops, here is a better version with the text in both languages.

Language / Ukrainian language similar to Polish? [236]

Just read what I wrote about Ukrainian myself just above ;-) Already Juszczenko has convinced me!

about what?

(However, I can understand Russian fluently, and I don't get as much of spoken Ukrainian).

practise makes perfect. Russian is probly harder for a Polish speaker.

He prefers speaking Polish, pan Nikołaj ;-)

well, convince him to give you some lessons;)

(personally, I love the Ukrainian language - it's so slow and soft...much easier than Polish!)

you've always had a thing for Ukraine Delph:)

Ya vazhayu Vam schtschastya, kochania...
I'm loving it! ;-)

bazhaju- bazhaty - is to wish. If you speak Russian, you would have no problem and Ukrainian people are very hospitable.

Aphro, I'd like to go and see Ukraine, especially the Ivano-Frankovsk region. How do you perceive Ukraine of today? Can I safely go there? You can make some comparison with Poland? I know this is little OT but when we are already at it..

go for it, I have not been recently, but my cousin travels there it is fine. It is save from what I hear, although the roads are bad for driving. Ask Wild

rover - he went there last year.

Do we Poles need visa?

I don't know. Check. And practise Ukrainian with your gardner:)

Language / Ukrainian language similar to Polish? [236]

I think it's a problem with the younger generation (maybe late 20's at most) - as they never really had much contact with Russian.

makes sense.
Antek:
this is Juszczenko, he speaks good Ukrainian, although with some Eastern accent, possibly Russian. I don't speak like that, nor does Nathan.

Julia:
youtu.be/WIwUxAF3iKE

she has a really Russian accent.

Janukowych speaks Ukrainian here, but he switches to Rusian, I would say his Ukrainian is pretty good:

judging by the above video, Julia is not that popular anymore;)

Language / Ukrainian language similar to Polish? [236]

What's interesting is when you look at the Polish/Russian minority in Lithuania - some of them are genuinely unable to use anything but their own tounge.

this must be a recent development since all of the inhabitants had to speak Russian - I guess it is political.

@Delph:

fist speak the best;). Janukowych should speak Ukrainian, but I am not sure. Juszczenko does for sure, so does Julia. As for the rest, I don't know.

Language / Ukrainian language similar to Polish? [236]

well, I personally have a different approach to languages, since for me it is the tool to communicate, and often on this thread and on PF, people try to give the language a political meaning, which I understand, but don't agree with. As for Silesian and Kashubian- those are separate languages too and my Ukrainian nationality has nothing to do with admitting the facts. I don't argue with facts.

Russian

Not Russian, although I took it in school in Poland for years, cannot say that I can speak it and understand it, even though I am fluent in Ukrainian - this alone proves that those are two different languages. I tried to speak Russian with the Russian store owner in Toronto, but I usually switched to Ukrainian and he understood. However, I would get by way better in Liviv then in Moscow:).

Many people in Western Ukraine speak and understand Polish too.

Last Sunday I was buying something from the Ukrainian guy in Szczecin and I switched to Ukrainian- no problem. On the other hand my attempts to speak Russian failed on other occasions.

Belgium? ;-)

I was thinking about the same.

I do not think a Ukrainian is bilingual. The Ukrainian speaks either Russian or Ukrainian or a mi

well, you are wrong here. They are bilingual Antek. All of the inhabitans of former USSR are bilingual. I have a friend from Azarbajan and she spoke 2.

True that Ukrainian are not the only bilingual people, although I am Ukrainian and I speak 3;P

IT. Engineering. Heavy industry. Whatever is not history/law/art/PR/etc.

that applies to other languages as well, so you have no argument.

I can bring many examples in Polish. Are you saying that no English terms are in these technologies in Russian?

USA, Canada / Moved back from Canada to Poland:). Here are the reasons why. [868]

Were the cells that cramped?

;-)

don't be silly. I was actually in Poland during the riots and I am glad I was out of the country, because I would have been downtown. I don't know what you find so funny about the riots- were you there?

This is what your taxes are spent on Shawn.........

So did you find a date? Is he cute? <3?

dancing partner, not a date. Have you ever taken dancing lessons? Sheesh.......

..lack of partner? ;)

Somebody is reading:)

Well, the lesson went well on my part, I danced salsa in TO and it appears that they dance a different style in Poland, so I have to learn it all over again.

Food / Expats' Polish food favourites [140]

A brother of mine was on exercise with the Royal Marines in Norway and they had to stay outside for three days. Their daily rations were 9000 calories. Nobody got fat.

so maybe some Americans should stay outside longer during the winter, so they would not spend so much money for the exercise equipments and gym memberships- voila!!!!!!;)

Anyways, I lost weight during the winter in Poland:)

News / Conservative-liberalism (Laissez-faire liberalism), another utopia for Poland? [99]

Hash-browns are shredded potatoe, fried and usually had at breakfast.

sorry Avalon for not being precise. I had hash brownies once and hash browns many times:). Figlless always manages to steal the thread and somehow make it about drugs or *****@;), while there is really more to life eg:

Now, I really have to go to see my accountant!!!!!!!!!!

Antek:
and not followers of PO - you forgot about them:)

Anybody can read further than the 10 points?

that is the problem, most people don't as it is reflected here and there on PF;).

I always wondered if hash-browns were made with cannabis :D

they are, I had them once.

I have not read the OP yet, but judging by the popularity of Korwin - Mikke in Poland, he fell into the category of forgotten political mistakes of the new democracy in Poland.

I might join you guys latter, but with the market economy and running my own business I need to see my accountant today- later!!!!!!!!

Travel / Attractions in Wrocław: a Must-See List [117]

Ehh ... you can go to a bike shop here and get yourself one for a couple of zloty ... no need to drag one over the pond.

or rent a city bike. They just started using it in Wroclaw.

Here is a map of stations: gfx.mmka.pl/newsph/335023/511487.3.jpg

Shawn, I took a quick look at the bike situation and the Cinnamon Hostel is renting them, so there is another option for you, unless you want to bring your own bikes.

USA, Canada / Moved back from Canada to Poland:). Here are the reasons why. [868]

Jeez, riot police, they must really miss you.

I was out of the country at that time, but there are many faces of Toronto as you might see:(

Nope, but they will at the Roncessvales Polish Festival this year!

that and the Ukie Fest in Bloor West Village. There should be police there too. 3 years ago they arrested 30 Ukies for the night. I am just having a flashback.

uch, going to salsa tonight. It took me seven month to finally make it there due to the lack of partner.

Wish me lack:)

I will report later.
