Language / Too many English words in the Polish language! [709]


It's itneresting that Polish uses a lot of Latin-derived toponyms including Moguncja - Mainz, Akwizgran - Aachen, Tamiza - Thames, Sekwana - Seine, etc.

That's why -- Gutenberg was the Gates of his era. Also civilisation moved from west to east, Germany was more advanced in crafts and adminsitartion, hence such loan-words as burmistrz, rada, ratusz, radca, not to mention tools - stamajza, druszlak, waserwaga, pług and many more. Did you know obywatel was from Czech. In Polish it should have been obywaciel like przyjaciel.

No, Poland is far behind the US in terms of fly-by-night liasions. However, things don't go to America from Poland but vice-versa. Give Poland another 10 years of watching pro-libertine Hollywood trash and who knows? By then the US will have also "progressed", so again Poland will have to catch up until finally it achieves total family chaos and lands in a cesspool with all the other "civilised" Western countries.

Please re-read or read (if you haven't bothered to so far) the survey covering over 97,000 cases which found that compared to kids living with married biological parents "among children living with a divorced or separated mother, the rate of witnessing domestic violence was seven times higher."

You want to disprove it, take your own survey of 97,000 households. Good luck!

And Italian, Russian, Ukrainian, Hungarian, even a few Lithuanian words, but owing to the lack of today's hyper-technology backed by mega-bankrolling it was a more gradual process. More likely than not, the current anglo-onslaught will prove to have a far more disintegrating impact on Polish than those earlier phases.

History / How come Polonization never works? [87]


The term is ethnic cleansing or genocide. That was carried out by Turks Armenia, Ukrainians in SE Poland and by Serbs in Srebrenica. There was polonisation of the eastern borderlands in pre-war Poland, Polish ex-servicemen were given land to cultivate there and Poles received preferential treament in official jobs, culture and educaiton, but there was no genocide by Poles against non-Polish citizens of Poland.

Of course, there are problems amongst married couples, in fact 19 out of 1,000 such children have witnessed violence in their homes. But that cannot compare to the shackers-up which PF's libertine wing is so fervently defending. Why not provide some evidence that kids raised in shack-ups by unwed mothers are happier, healthier and do better at school? No such evidence? Then read on:

A recent national survey shows that children of divorced and never-married parents are far more likely to have been exposed to domestic violence than children in married two-parent families.

In the 2011-2012 National Survey of Children's Health, conducted by the U.S. National Center for Health Statistics, parents of 95,677 children aged 17 and under were asked whether their child had ever seen or heard "any parents, guardians, or any other adults in the home slap, hit, kick, punch, or beat each other up." Among children living with both married biological parents, the rate of exposure to family violence was relatively low: for every 1,000 children in intact families, 19 had witnessed one or more violent struggles between parents or other household members. By comparison, among children living with a divorced or separated mother, the rate of witnessing domestic violence was seven times higher: 144 children per 1,000 had had one or more such experiences.

And so did Czech and Turkish, but none of them were backed by the potency and all-pervasievness of mega-technology and mega-billions. The absorption of foreign borrowings in the past was more evolutionary and dictated by actual need. For instance things dealing with Christianity largely came from Bohemia hence such words as kościół, biskup, ksiądz and spowiedź. Today's Anglo-onslaught is more of a bombardment dictated by commercial greed.

However, percentagewise Poland's "konkubinaty" generate more than their share of domestic violence compared to normal marreid households. Police alerted by neighbours to loud boisterous vebral and physical altercations will tell you that informal shackers-up are the source of most of the problems. And where do you think the kids suffer more -- in a home with married parents or in a fly-by-night shack-up?

Ever heard of advertising, propaganda and high-powered brainwashing? Goebbels said a lie repeated 100 times gets accepted. It's the same with advertising slogans and "cool" buzzword -- repeated over and over they artifically but not necessarily beneficially enter and often contaminate the language. In this area might makes right -- the average language user is no match for the multi-billions driving the language-bending industry. No! No language is freeze-framed in the past -- but this is a quesiton of unnecessary and redundant borrowings which the language can do without.

Food / Mushroom picking (and eating:) in Poland [36]


Not to be outdone by Crow, I humbly submit my translation of Mickiewicz's verse (from Pan Tadeusz) on the subject of mushrooming:

Mushrooms abounded -- round the fair damsels* the young men did throng,
Or vixens, as they're hailed in Lithuanian song.
They symbolise maidenhoof, their flesh no maggot bites
And no insect thereon ever even alights.
The slender bolete maidens pursued instead,
That colonel of mushrooms as it's commonly said.
But all hunt for milky caps which, though not very tall
And largely unsung, are the tastiest of all..."

'Fair damsels - krasnolice (literally beautiful women) and lisice (vixens) are regional slang for chantrelles (in standard Polish -- kurki); milky caps = rydze.

Merged: Are all Anglo-borrowings needed?

Admittedly there are areas (such as computerese) that have introduced terms not found in Polish and other languages. But what about cluttering Polish with unneeded Anglicisms regarded by some as "trendy". Some examples:

**Dwa, trzy w jednym: two, three in one can easily be translated as (produkt o) podwójnym, potrójnym działaniu;
**Some Polish news readers haev been introducing "dziesięć do ósmej" (10 to 8) when "za dziesięć ósma" already exists;
**destynacja has been appearing in the tourist trader when there is a pefectly good "cel podróży" exists in Polish;
**Od Wedel (translation of "from Wedel"); should be "od Wedla" (if Wedel were a person not a firm), but czekoladki Wedel or firmy Wedel is more than enough.

**Zwiększ objętość swoich włosów reflects the English language's obsession with the possessive whcih is alien to Polish; Anglos say I'm brushing MY teeth and washing MY feet, whereas in Polish one says myję zęby, nogi. Here too the swoich" is redundant.

**Odkryj (translation of discover) is greatly overused in adverts translated from English (also German entdeck); zapoznaj się could easily be used in many cases rather than the boringly repetitive odkryj.

NOTE: Please add any other unnecessary Anglicisms you have run across to this list. Many dzięks!

The leftist-liberal-libertine media definitely equate patriotism with nationalism. Using the term "fascism" in relation to PiS as Szechter and some Western leftstream rags did is not only an exaggeration but a downright lie.

There is nothing wrong with saying Denmark for Danes or Poland for Poles. You can invite someone to dinner and that person may accept or decline. But no-one has the right to storm into your home and demand dinner. A country may invite outsiders but no-one has the right to impose them on other countries. Multi-culti is an option (which has severely damaged many countries) but not an obligation.

History / What was better in Poland under communism? [67]


Konrad Kołodziejski writing in Rzeczpospolita reminds us of one advantage of having been in the Soviet bloc that is often overlooked. Beneath a photo of two rather unpleasant looking "just married" blokes he writes:

"The West has shown itself to be far more receptive to social engineering than Poland. Spain is a star pupil in terms of legislating liberalised mores. Maybe if we had not landed under Soviet occupation after the war ,we would now resemble Spain which with a neophyte's zeal is trying to convince Europe how modern it is."

How is that mistreatment? if they threw his family into gaol, that migth be a bit extreme. A convicted criminal does not deserve honours. For life-long betrayal of the Polish nation and faithful mercenary service to an alien power he should have been imprisoned, instead he was mercifully given a suspended sentence. Everyone knows you are just troll-provoking because you can't be that much of a pro-Sovietist.

And Orwell was amongst those bamboozled by Spain's so-called "Republicans" and fought on the wrong side of the civil war but soon realised their leaders were little more than thinly disguised Stalinists out to Sovietise the Iberian Peninsula and the rest of Europe if they could. Fortunately Orwell saw through them unlike some "useful idiots" who to this day claim that the Soviet side were the "good guys".

Anyone who has followed his nefarious career knows how blood-stained Soviet puppet General Jabberwocky whom Michnikites regard as a "man of hionour", used every trick in the book to evade getting what was coming to him. On alleged grounds of health his trial was repeatedly delayed although he was healthy enough to be seen attending various functions at the same time. At one stage he decided to change lawyers, meaning another long delay for the new defence councillor to acquaint himself with thousands of pages of case documents. And so it went down to the bitter end when the Grim Reaper saved him being put on trial.
