Language / The lost literary languages of Poland [54]

I was thinking of the large amount of Hasidic Jews in London, inPolska, who still use Yiddish, while a lot of Jewish people simply do not.

An awful lot of London slang comes from the Yiddish, interestingly.

Warsaw is still possibly the Yiddish-speaking capital of the world.

I doubt it Harry, as DominicB said, that would be NY, TelAviv, or possibly London.

Love / Acceptable age difference for a couple in Poland. [13]

I think you should let her go if you do not want children and she does.
You are stopping her from fulfilling her dreams at the moment, and resentment will build up.

Feedback / Any chance of a sports category on PF [29]

Seeing that you will never witness a football game in Europe, you hardly the right person to answer.

I hate to tell you this, but we can see American Football at Wembley Stadium!!
If you count the UK as Europe that is.....

Life / Poland's RCC and CoE in England - church differences, religious conversion? [7]

yes as jon said, you do not need to convert, as such.
Many C of E church services are (to me) virtually indisguishable from Catholic services, as the Oxford Movement of Cardinal Newman, who sought to bring the two branches of the church closer, had a great influence, esp in certain parts of the country.

I was convinced the last church service I was in was Catholic, but no it was 'Anglo Catholic' ergo very very similar.

Language / Przypadki (Polish language cases) [59]

no Lyzko I am not "wrong" thank you - you can disagree with me, but shouting 'wrong' to introduce yourself to a debate is hardly 'erudite; is it- ? English has been an extraordinarily successful world language.

As K says, it is dynamic and constantly changing, and it is able to do that due to the lack of some stuffy 'academy;
It can be your "erudite" language or the language of 'Bizniz"

News / Does democratic Poland guarantee it's LGBT citizens respect for human and civil rights? [1169]

in an ideal world polonius.

Just among my immediate friends, let's see, we have two fathers that left to start a new family, leaving the mothers to support the chldren alone, one of which took the children's savings with him.

We have one who just came by to steal from his family, left to start a new one, dumped them off too and then eventually had to be removed from the premises by his teenage sons.

We have another who used to beat the mum in front of the son, and the son too, yet the family court ordered that he should return to the family home.

actually there is more but it is tiring me to type these sad tales.

So mothers who are doing their best to raise their children do not need someone like you thundering from the pulpit about 'single mummies' and gay men thank you very much. Perhaps if more men stepped up to the mark, there would be fewer of us.

IMO two stable gay men would be better than some drunken absent feckwith

Language / Przypadki (Polish language cases) [59]

your English is good kpc., do not forget that there is no 'academy' of English to state what is 'correct' or not, unlike eg French, Spanish or German.

This is English's strength as a world language.
Nonetheless your second sentence is much more acceptable than the first.

Language / Przypadki (Polish language cases) [59]

The OP should sit down, relax, take a deep breath and contemplate 'us', 'them', 'me', 'her' and 'him'.

yes good idea - that really helped me when I was learning Greek. Then later with Polish, the concept was not alien.
the problem with us English is that most of us under 75 did no grammar in school at all as it was not 'fashionable'.
No wonder we have such problems learning other languages!

yes but Z, English DOES have the remnants of a case system in the personal pronouns and knowing this might help OP get his head round it.

OP instead of cases, English has a remarkable amount of prepositions. As a native speaker you have no problem with that, in the same way that a Polish native speaker will have no problem with the cases.

You have no problem with knowing the difference between in/by/to to the shop do you?
As Z said, stop thinking of it like a mathematical problem; just listen to what people say, like ....'ide do sklepu' for example - dnt worry about what CASE that is, just say it.
