Language / Rzeczpospolita Polska - translation? [42]

aysus, Iron. Rzeczpospolita is essentially just another word for Republika - accept it.

Essentially and historically Rzeczposolita is the name for RPI! The only reason for using this term in 1918 was history.
I know that the term nowadays in Poland is explained as republic and I have no problem with that. However I think that essentially this term should be used to describe historical RP, we have term republika in the language for a reason.

Now, get over it ;)

OK! OK!
Just saying that the name looses in translation - something else than republic would be in order !
over and out

Language / Rzeczpospolita Polska - translation? [42]

End of.

It is really simple - concentrate !
Long time ago, nobles in one country were looking for a name which would express the best political reality and their aspirations. Where, being a noble started to mean something akin to being a Roman Citizen in the ancient Rome. Using the Latin language daily was only natural to them to look for inspiration to ancient Rome, and more contemporary Republic of Venice.

Yes, the name Rzeczpospolita derives from respublica but conveys quite different meaning of the content - Rzeczpospolita was so unique at the time that the name deserves respect- just check history books.

That in short, I have no time to spend all day and lecture people.

Language / Rzeczpospolita Polska - translation? [42]

Yes, it is - according to Polish constitution.

However Rzeczpospolita is not republic, we have a name for republic. Rzeczpospolita is only there because in 1918 they were trying to connect Poland from before 1795 to the new one, hence term Rzeczpospolita.

Poland is definitely NOT a commonwealth

Well, Poland is not a republic either !

a commonwealth is an allied group of republics

Yeah, but it is definition in English language, for English speaking people.
The term of commonwealth is right as a way of convening the meaning of term Rzeczpospolita.

My point is that the word rzeczpospolita and commonwealth seem to be a much better, more accurate match.

Your instinct is good, much better than Poles on PF:)
pospolita - means in this context - common

Poland losing its focus on building a nation. Now it wants a military alliance with Ukraine and Lithuania. They can't leave the past.

News / Poland leads nations in raising 90 million euros for Belarus opposition [73]

Will the Belarusian people get inspired by what is happening in Egypt and overthrow Lukashenko?

That would be stupid of them!

And how come that the U.S ain't giving the Belarusians the same support like they did to the Poles in the 80's?

Trying to poke their snout in there?

UK, Ireland / Estimated number of Poles in Ireland thought to exceed 200,000 OR over 5% of population. [200]

I can imagine your feelings...

Hunny If you have some personal issue with Poles/Pole just come clean, instead of supporting the post of an obvious moron and possibly a troll.

I brought some Poles around Ireland several times, and(some thought) the mountains were not high enough,, and the forest were too small, the food is crap,The people are false

Some, maybe that had great expectation like yourself - an answer for your question - some!There are always some people in every country.

Good post that ash.

Good?
I would say that her post is in 1/3 BS, 1/3 rant! I don't think that you can call the post good because of remaining 1/3 of content.

Ah I see, the troller failed in his petty task so get's all defensive.

Defensive - no! I don't have all day to sit here and answer your deflecting questions about Poland. When predictably you dismiss my answers, in return offering only your vague personal opinion and sarcasm!

You answer my original question first or admit that you are unable to do it, and we are back in business. Otherwise I cannot be bother to discus with someone who obviously is not up to it!

.and predictably starts getting more personal rather than accept that his posts are simply inarticulate and semi-sensical.

Well, you didn't understand my reference to EU education, so obviously you are not the brightest star in the galaxy, no offence meant!
Well, Do you imply that my post cannot be understood? Sorry, English is not my first language as you may have noticed!

and then of course leaves like a child.

Do I? No I don't leave, I just see no point to discus stuff
with somebody who is talking to me for one reason only, to present me as an idiot or a troll and deflect attention from his own shortcomings and inability to disuse the issue.

A fact that you getting personal in more subtle way than I, means only one thing - I'm more honest !

Well done you utter joke.

Yeah! * you too!

No - explain?

I would but you do not listen and are unwilling to learn, you know it all, don't you?

h an answer that proved my point in the first place.

yeah right ! ignorance in action !

Eh??

Gee, you are thick - you have been given an EU education - all European cultures are similar it means they are almost the same, no uniqueness, just unimportant local variations, long live one EU state !

You're simply trolling Ironside

Whatever, lets talk about you would comprehend - do you like beer?

That's what the increasing numbers of British citizens are made off.

What are you talking about now?

Ironside:
Irish culture is about individual freedom and self-govern society.

Does it answer your question now?

Listen Ironside - I'm done with this discussion. You are talking through your arse and expecting definitions of "unique cultures" when you can't even do so yourself.

BS, I'm stating what is unique in Polish culture (or rather was) and I can prove it, using history references.
All you are saying is that, that it is impossible to distinguish something unique about Irish culture and you apply your views to other cultures.

Well, generally European cultures are pretty similar in some ways, I grant you that, but the fact the an educated Irishman cannot find something unique in his culture, speaks volumes !

IS is just teasing you and you all took it too serious.

well, that's how its started, but then he doesn't know the answer - and he is deflecting my scrutiny by pointing at me - I did answer your questions mister, and there are no bad answers, there are only answers you can verify or not!

It is an EU education, isn't it ?

Yes, it seems to you - well it would wouldn't it?

Explain !

What is the obsession anyway - cultural envy or something? : )

Well, you guys are often going on about culture on PF anyway, so I'm inquiring what do you mean by that.

See what I mean? No doubt works with a few more countries too.
You'll have to do better than that.

Yeah, I'm sure but they would have to prove they words - evidence is there (history) for all to see!

Seems like the pro-Brit/Pro-treaty "political" revisionist,dogs of the dominant culture have painted your view of the Island of Ireland or else your just a p1ss taker, pressing buttons. If you want to know about Ireland, read books not tabloids.

What is wrong in asking questions? You didn't answer my question by the way, you have only said that I'm wrong - care to explain why I'm wrong?

well done.

I found you rather raw.
