Food / Are eggs in Poland refrigerated/not refrigerated? [33]

Unwashed eggs will keep a long time at room temperature.

I always found eggs with chickensh*t on them in Polish grocery stores rather.....unique. They were pretty good though. Peter seems to have given a practical answer to the mystery.

Life / Lack of human rights in Poland? [132]

What do you think?

Well of course.

I find football fans truly fascinating. What is it that drives a person to take a weapon to a football match? And what drives people to use them there?

Language / Please help me understand Polish adverbs [30]

Unfortunately, very often you simply have to 'feel' the language

I agree with szczecinianin. In English we say She speaks English very well, but we say Her perfume smells good. Here the verbs are being modified by an adverb and adjective. Right, in English sensory verbs taken adjectival forms of adverbs. You will find this rule somewhere in grammar textbooks, but it certainly won't be in the first three chapters. It's usually something you just workout through exposure to a language instead of learning it in a book.

One that I always found funny was saying dobra instead of dobrze for a way to say okay. Can any Poles confirm this one?

Life / Lack of human rights in Poland? [132]

I was rather thinking that people don't need to take a knife/weapon to watch a match.

Life / Is gas heat really (that much) cheaper than electric Heating in Poland? [3]

I am trying to rent out our apartment and the fact that we have electric heat is a huge issue for some people. We have accumulating heaters from ENEA that are super efficient. Is gas heat really (that much) cheaper?

Merged: Is gas heating (that much) cheaper than electric?

We are trying to rent out our apartment and the fact that it has electric heat seems to be an issue for potential renters. We have piece akumulacyjne which are very efficient, but it doesn't seem to help.
