Language / Some Ideas for a band name using the Polish language? [94]


yes, it would be a center named Fabryka, nothing to do with with women though.


If you like it, go for it, sounds good. Could be also the name of a place, like a club or some music center. It sounds a bit industrial and off the mainstream.

It seems that you like hard consonants, so here are a couple more verry bright ideas:

karuzela
zadra
Stradom (part of Kraków)
netoperek - one of the Polish jokes about the Czech language, this one is supposed to mean Batman in Czech, actually it's a modification of Polish "nietoperz" - bat. I think it sounds good.

or how about Fabryka snów, meaning a factory of dreams? You could change the spelling to Fabryka snuff, in the teenspeak spirit.

Language / Some Ideas for a band name using the Polish language? [94]


centrum snów or centrum snu - the former contains a Polish diacritic ó, whereas the latter means rather "sleep center", not "dream center". Sounds nice though.


kaloryczne sny :)
or kalorycznych snów, if you're wishing somebody such dreams. It's Genitive case then.

USA, Canada / Polish Food - 40 flavors of pierogies in the US [113]


pierogi z soczewicą - lentil
z wiśniami - cherry
z jagodami - blueberry
z truskawkami - strawberry
z jabłkami - apple
z kaszą gryczaną i serem - buckwheat and cheese (some fresh mint may be added, making for another variety)
z podrobami - offal
z serem na słodko - sweetened cheese

just off the top of my head, all very Polish and perfectly legitimate.
I've had superb egg and onions pierogi once in a pierogarnia in Kraków.
I mean, our ancestors put inside whatever was available to them, why shouldn't people nowadays do the same? You won't even find a single "proper" dough recipe - some people use eggs, some don't, some add milk or even sour cream, some stick with water, lobbying for it to be cold, lukewarm or hot, depending on what their grandma used.

Though I admit it's hard to imagine pizza pierogi... does pizza dough go inside too? :D

Language / Dziękujecie in plural form [11]


if you're in good relations with your boss then it's OK.
But when in doubt, use "dziękuję", just to be on the safe side.

Language / Dziękujecie in plural form [11]

This is plural, 2nd person.

Singular: dziękuję/dziękujesz/dziękuje
Plural: dziękujemy/dziękujecie/dziękują

History / Have Poles blood on their hands? :) [496]

I mean the feeling of a native speaker, I didn't say "knowledge" as it's not about precise, exact numbers, but you're right, that part of linguistic knowledge too. "Quite a few" would definitely be more than "few", but with "few" and "a few" in this context (millions of Poles) I wasn't sure, hence the question. I suppose both would be "nieliczni" or "niewielu" in Polish.

History / Have Poles blood on their hands? :) [496]



Now, Seanus, I've got a linguistic question to you.
In which sentence more people have blood on their hands?
What's your native feeling?

Life / Why Poles are so crazy about their country? [55]

Anything that's made with yeast is good on the first day only so usually some chemicals are added to preserve the freshness (and spoil the taste). Bread made eclusively on zakwas stays fresh and is moist, just as you say, Seanus. I've developed an addiction of reading the lists of ingredients, in this way you can find the good stuff. Another method is to go by the price, if a small loaf costs twice or three times as much as a big loaf of the regular white bread, there are some chances that you've found gold :)

It's also worth checking at different places, as every bakery is using its own recipes.

Life / Why Poles are so crazy about their country? [55]

I haven't tried Estonian or Latvian bread yet, Ukrainian is good though. I think they still don't put too much chemicals in it, it's mostly traditional recipes. You can get something called "Lithuanian bread" in Poland but it's not even half as good, it contains substances prolonging the shelf-life and artificial colouring and it's made with yeast when it should be only zakwas. Unfortunately this is also true about most other kinds of Polish bread, it's hard to find the real stuff.

Life / Polish culture do's and dont's? [106]

no! but that's impossible! it's an outrage!
No culture can do without chopped salads and especially sauerkraut!
Please, stop spreading lies, as somebody might believe you!

Love / Different Attitudes of women born in Poland towards relationships? [20]


???

It seems that either you are the type that no sane girl would sleep with for free, or you've got a real talent for spotting the wh*re-like types.

In either case, I'd advise you to go for professionals - at least you know what to expect. Seems like fair deal to me. The more classy ones might even say "thank you, sir" afterwards.

Life / Why Poles are so crazy about their country? [55]


it's great! my sklep osiedlowy used to carry it for some time... and then the good times were over, they had some problems with transportation as it was actually coming from Lithuania. Great, fantastic, heavenly, anything you want. And there were little pieces of something that looked like hay on the crust, I suppose they wrapped it in some kind of grass before baking.

well Exile, if you get sex for money, then it's strictly a business deal, so what do you expect?

Travel / TRAIN JOURNEY..DRAWSKO TO POZNAN...help needed... [30]


the question is, could the Maluch keep it going?

Travel / TRAIN JOURNEY..DRAWSKO TO POZNAN...help needed... [30]


seems so. Drive the Maluch and get back on Harley. Take a day of rest and repeat the operation. In this way, you might get a free hot meal every second day - not bad, eh? :)

Language / pronounce "Kocham Cię" [57]


Wlazł kotek na płotek i mruga
£adna to piosenka, nie długa.
Nie długa, nie krótka, lecz w sam raz
Zaśpiewaj, koteczku, jeszcze raz.

A kitten climbed onto a fence. It's a nice song, not very long. Not long and not short, just right, sing it again, kitten.

A very popular children song.


You bet :)

Can't help but wonder what your point is, Tit. And what business of yours it is what language Seanus is speaking to his wife. His Polish seems to be good enough, which can hardly be said about your English. Are you bored or something?

Life / You are Polish if... [433]

Nothing sexual, not this time ;) It's: do you want to get hit with a big spoon? preferably over your head... and preferably with a real big wooden one...

Nice mix... would your family name be Habsburg by any chance? ;)

Food / Simple recipe request.... Polish carrot salad [6]

Probably horseradish.
Shred the carrots and add a little horseradish with 1 teaspoon of mayo or sour cream. Add a pinch of salt and another one of sugar, mix well. Optionally you may add a squeeze of lemon juice.

Is that it?
