Language / Interesting inconsistency between Polish and Russian [71]

Polish "szukać" ("to look for") sounds like czech word for "to fuck". Many polish visitors in CZ REP use polish to communicate. And tourists are always looking for smth so It's always fun when poles arrive to czechia ;)

plivat - pływać (spit - swim)

In polish 'plwać' also means 'to spit'. But it's the staropolski - old polish language. My uncle studied with polish/czech friend and the guy said that czech is much more similar to the proto-slavic language. That's why many words in czech sounds for poles old fassioned.

Feedback / The image of Poland according to PolishForums [90]

Is PF the place where the foreigners get the real image of Poland?
Does it create good or bad image of Poland and polish people?
Did it encourage you to visit / to live in Poland or did you change your mind?
How the experiences shared here corresponds with yours?
Do you think there is too much pointless discussion on unimportant matters?
Do you think that the atmosphere here is friendly, neutral or hostile?

Just wondering... ;)

Feedback / The image of Poland according to PolishForums [90]

These are just an innconente questions ;). I was wondering what image of Poland would I get after reading PF if I were a foreigner who has never been to my country. I think the forums give deformed picture of poland. And I can't say with strong conviction that PF are the best promotion for Poland. It's nice place, though
