History / Was the Polish/ Lithuanian commonwealth a European power? [111]

And Kijiw is thought to come from a word "kyj", which means a "spear".

kyj or (pol) kij means stick not spear!!

Zaporoże (you may translate as "such a dam!" or "together as a dam!")

Zaporizhya means "behind the river barriers", nothing of "together" or "such a dam".

Do you even know what's dam??
Here for you to learn: thefreedictionary.com/Dam
That's why it is possible it could be called by some "such a dam".

Australia / Finding work on Prospective marriage visa, Melbourne ( subclass 300 ) [30]

Perfectly good Polka just needed to be a little bit patient while looking for the job.

Boat people mostly from Sri Lanka lately, are people who seek refuge from war torn countries etc. they have the rights, as anyone in the world, to live normal life.

Australia provides protection for asylum seekers who meet the United Nations definition of a refugee, as defined in the 1951 Convention and 1967 Protocol relating to the Status of Refugees..

The refugees are not only the "boat people" they are also very talented known to the world people who are coming here on visitors or business visa, like in example, Russian "Balszoj Ballet" where after the performance some of the dancers applied for the refugee status - what a huge gain to the Australian Ballet.

In other situations we also gain many sport gold medalist from around the world, which are not leaving Australia after their performance because of seeking refuge here.

What I wanted to say is that, our government is protecting these people by spending taxpayers money but in return we gain a lot much more.

You shouldn't question this kind of asylium seekers because maybe tomorrow you could become one of them if the disaster strikes.

Life / Why do majority of Polish are afraid to admit their nationality? [28]

In your opinion what is the base for behavior like this?

The base could be, they were not Polish.
Havok in your profile, it states : Yes, somewhat when asked if you know Polish language and I'm convinced you probably missunderstood the peoples language.

There are other similarly sounding languages to Polish, like Slovak language ( from Slovakia) or Ukrainian (from Ukraine) .
There are no reasons why would Polish people not want to be recognised as a Polish citizens unless they were some kind of weirdos or otherwise they were scared of you (maybe you tried too hard to get to know them).

Some other reasons could be, Polish people are very reserved towards unknown person . That's our Polish culture, we need time to get to know people before we can trust them or engage in conversation.

We are very formal to unkown person. I mean Poles living in Poland, because Poles from around the world are much different and more approachable- you should remember that.

Off-Topic / ANYONE HEAR A STRANGE NOISE IN WARSAW....? [45]

Did anyone hear a loud whooshing noise in the early hours in Warsaw , followed by a high pitched squeek , then a thud , and lots of bubbling noises...?

???? no, we did not hear such noise in Australia..probably we should care more about some unusual noises ,for example: as in the Germany, the latest news (last night) of an unidentified noise was of....?? (can you guess what was it?)

Did you flush when you were done?

NOOOO it was not me...i was asleep in Zachodniopomorskie...lots of miles away...

Probably you were dreaming...how could you hear anything while in the north-west (zachodniopomorskie) of Poland and suggesting the noise was coming from Warsaw region???

which is almost in the middle of Poland.

intelligence is about expressing yourself clearly and to the point and you confuse it with sarcasm and contempt for other posters.

Intelligence is about to know...especially when asked !!!!!
You are here because you want to be here & and..

Just for you...I'm explaining, name "Krzyżacy" (The Knights of the Cross) a group of monks who were executing Polish people by cutting them into half or in many other different disturbing ways.

History / just before the war the Polish/Ukrainian szlachta learned Ukrainian [243]

and just 13 years later, right in that area, Polish and Ukrainian villagers started murdering each other.

f stop...you should learn about the Polish history before you post here!!...

My noble Polish ancestors (my fathers side) were killed by the UPA banda (Ukrainians). If you see a movie called 'Krzyżacy", that's how Ukrainian nationals treated Polish noble people/ szlachta people! My Polish grand..father was cut into half by them and it happened during a WWII.

Australia / Prawdziwki (Porcini) mushrooms in Australia? [14]

I was told they might grow in the wild around Canberra.

Why didn't you ask where exactly around Canberra?

I didn't know we have prawdziwki in Australia.
I am aware of maślaki which are here more like Polish prawdziwki and also we have rydze here.

The only porcini I saw in my city were in the fruit shop and imported from Italy.

Work / Why is Polish workmanship so bad? [52]

The only recommend I'd consider is to see the tradesman similar job, otherwise I would ask for his proof of qualifications and his registered business name - that's how it works if you want a quality job.

Australia / How to import my car to Australia from Poland? [26]

(Chrysler Pt cruiser -2001-73000km- RHD) will cost in OZ between 11- 15 grand

If made for the Australian market and climate!!!

It doesn't really matter how many kms the car has, it's already 9 yrs old car and made for use in Europe & for cold climate - that's a big difference if compering the price between car made for Australian market or for any other colder part of the world.

Work / Why is Polish workmanship so bad? [52]

Why can't polish Workers make things that last or do a good job of things and why do they have such a half arsed attitude towards quality?

The Polish tradesmen are as good as any of the western countries or even better!!!
There is...but one thing...don't forget to book a real & licensed tradesman (as a plumber, a carpenter or an electrician etc !!!!) not a half-priced handyman without qualification because you want your job to be done well but as cheap as possible!!

Australia / Finding work on Prospective marriage visa, Melbourne ( subclass 300 ) [30]

Some companies reserve the rights to employ permanent residents only or citizens only and they do have a rights to do it.
Before you apply for any positions check if you are eligible to apply. It's very important not to apply where you shouldn't, usually the conditions are clearly stated by the employer.

Also, while applying for a job attach document showing (or explain in writing) what type of visa you have, your permit to work (state if any/or no conditions apply to your working permit).

It is all about to make sure they don't treat you as you are here on working/or student visa .

They are aired in 3 minutes intervals here...

In Australia all national TV channels are free of charge, also you don't pay fees for using TV as it is in Poland, or in the UK, or in many other countries.

You can always sign up for pay TV - Foxtel and you'll be able to choose & watch channels without the commercials

Genealogy / Looking for my father's family, Roman Rydel or possibly Rydelski [30]

Here is the birth certficate (if I've done it right!).

Front
======================================================

Birth Certificate

Family name : Rydel
First name and name after father : Romuald, Robertowicz

Born 10 December 1923 .

This Birth Certificate is registered in our registry under the 1923 year, under the December month and under the number 308.

Parents: Father - Rydel Robert, name after father.........??
Mother - Rydel Aleksandra, name after father/or maiden name..........???

Place of birth:...........?? and the Region:................??

Place/city of birth registration:.......?

================================
Maybe some native Russian/or Ukrainian speakers will help you with the missing details which are under the ???? .
It's hard to recognise the handwriting and I don't want to guess it.

The other thing is, in Russia there is a tradition to put name after father as in this case, if father is Robert , the after father name becomes Robertowicz .

The name Roman can be written in two different ways:
* Roman or
* Romuald

As for your question:

I think it would appear that the birth certificate is Ukraine but he was in the polish army. Anyone got any ideas as to why this might be?

you need to read about Poland's history and here are some details:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Poland_%281918%E2%80%931939%29

There are 2 stamps at the top on the right side:

1. Passport issued in the year 1939?, in the city: Kamianske (Russian: Kamienskoje)

Look here about the city:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dniprodzerzhynsk

2. The other stamp says (probably) the same but there is a different date. Hard to tell what date it is. Something 18. 12. 19....

Also, regarding:

We now know his name was Romanowi Rydel.

The name is not Romanowi as there is no such name, it actually says:
to Roman Rydel and according to the birth details your relative's first name was Romuald which in short you can call Roman
