Language / Ukrainian language similar to Polish? [236]

I've noticed those ukrainians living near the polish border speak a more polish-influenced dialect than those living in Kyiv, for example.

Life / Can many young Poles speak German? [72]

many of my cousins speak german.

I personally feel the learning Russian would be SOO much more benefitionary for Poles, considering it's a slavic language spoken by about 250 mil. people worldwide.

Life / How many ORTHODOX CHRISTIAN POLISH in Poland? [40]

go visit the towns and villages in eastern Poland, bordering Ukraine and Belarus, like my mother's town, and you'll see real orthodox cultures, churches, etc. They are very beautiful!

Even in large cities like Białystok, there is a big belarussian orthodox community.

Life / How many people in Poland are atheist/agnostic? [11]

probably many, just like pagans and witches, but I assume most of them still attend church and pray in public in order to fit in and not seem like outcasts.

One thing I've noticed is that the Poles living abroad (especially in the US) are so much more religious than those in Poland.

UK, Ireland / Eastern European girls forced against their will in Britain for prostitution? [67]

there are some job agencies (illegal mainly) which promise jobs to young girls specially. However when they are aboard they are kidnapped and forced into prostitution.

that happens a lot here in Toronto. There are exotic massage studios downtown where 12-13 year old girls work in the nude - many have been busted by the police, but a great deal of them still work secretly. There are a lot more young east asian girls involved than european, though.

A local free weekly newspaper entitled "NOW" used to have atleast 10 pages worth of sex ads at the end of it, featuring japanese and korean girls that look like they are bearly teens, although the ad's claim 18+, and provide availability times along with contact #'s. The newspaper recently underwent a 'makeover' - they got rid of all the ads and changed the name from NOW to something else now... I don't even bother picking it up anymore..

Life / Multiracial Poles [154]

yes they have. I'm quarter russian, and jewish from my dad's side.. although it was only his grandparents' religion before the war - he claims to have full polish ancestry, and my uncle told me that his great great grandmother must have converted upon marrying a jewish man. :)

Life / Multiracial Poles [154]

What do Poles generally think of multiracial people?

it's wrong. VERY VERY WRONG.

I can't even bear to think about having a child who looks nothing like me... take Monique Minton for example - she looks pure filipina. I'm pretty sure she doesn't give two shits about her polish culture, just like a local filipino-pole I've known in college.

Even here in Toronto, I hardly ever see Poles, but also russians/ukrainians/croatians/serbians, in interracial relationships.

Unlike the western europeans, the Slavs have more culture, and aim at preserving our beautiful race, languages, and cultures... that is, MOST of us, at least.

Work / Any international companies in Poznan? (Non-polish speaker is looking for a job) [17]

What are you talking about? "sacred city"?

source: family back home.

And less of the "fatherland", please - especially as you're half Russian.

was born in people's republic of poland.. have polish citizenship.. only my maternal babushka was russkaya :)

unlike many Polonia posters who merely talk the talk and don't actually do a damned thing for this country.

oh yeah, and I'm damn sure YOU do.. LMAO.

Language / "Szurszewski" - How to pronounce my last name correctly? [7]

Szurszewski"

easy...

it's exactly like saying the words: SURE (more accurately, SHOOR), CHEF, SKI (as in skiing)... put them together and say it fast.... the only difference from english pronounciation would be the rolled 'r'... but it's ok for english speakers to ignore it. :)

Language / How do I pronounce "Kocham Ciebie"? [19]

When I was young my Grandmother taught me how to say "I love you, give me a kiss" In Polish (I wish she had taught me more), though I know how to say it and know what it means... I have NO clue how to spell it in Polish...

say something funny like:

'Kocham cię takkkkk! Buziaczki!!' (or as my mother would say: pocaluj minia) lol

phonetically, erm.... 'Ko-Hahm Cheh Taaaak' lol .. 'Boo-zhach-kee'
