Language / Usage rules of ł in the Polish language [30]

I do have question though. What is the name of the letter " ł "? To be honest I am kinda getting tired of calling it the "L with a slash through it".

The letter "£" is called... "£". We don't have a separate name for it (like "an o with a stroke" or "a closed u" for "Ó").

News / Decoded talks inside Poland's president's plane are released in Internet [337]

I guess it's time now for them to apologize for the grip of delusion they have kept this forum in for such a long time as it's now clear all those theories were wrong, definitively wrong.

And what about those who claimed it was Kaczyński putting pressure on the pilots?

Language / Nazwy mieszkanców - the names of a city/country residents in Polish [14]

a person who lives in the city of Krakow - krakowianin
a person who lives in the vicinity of Krakow - krakowiak

Actually, I would use the term Krakowiak only in regards to a village man in the traditional costume.

but that also includes folk in the town of Krakow..

Krakowiacy, mieszkańcy wsi w okolicach Krakowa, w ujęciu hist. - mieszkańcy ziemi krakowskiej.


Well, yes, but that must be a really old meaning, probably from the XV or XIV century (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ziemia).

Law / Family immigrated 1880's from Galacia: Polish Citizenship - A few Questions [13]

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish_nationality_law

Polish drivers licenses...would you be able to keep/use the enhanced American one [...] Or, how would one go about getting a permanent Polish drivers license?

U.S. driver's license is not valid in Poland. However, its holder can obtain a Polish driver's license after passing the theory test. To register for the exam it is necessary to have the U.S. license translated by a sworn translator. Such translation must include information on what types of vehicles the person is permitted to drive.

Language / Jeszcze or wciaz? [10]

I have to disagree. "Wciąż" doesn't neccesarily imply any emotions.

"Wciąż uczę się polskiego" may just mean "I am learning Polish and I am not yet proficient". And it doesn't sound any weirder than "jeszcze".
