Language / Etymology of samochod and other related automotive words [12]

o and zawieszenie is zawieszić! ok I should have thought of that in the first place. But are there any Polish words relating to cars that have been borrowed? I suppose "turbo." Ok diękuje bardzo Lyzko.

A czy jest jakiesz książek albo cos na internecie gdzie mogę znaleźć etymology w Polskim słow?

Also in addition to doing this in Polish I need to do the same thing in another slavic language and compare the same words in Polish. I was thinking about doing a simple language that is similar to Polish..Czech?

Thankyou

Language / Polish and other slavic language differences [60]

Ya I know I will be able to tell which language is which but the big thing is giving many examples as to why. The only way I will be able to know which cyrilic languages are which is because of the accents over certain letters. The languages are Russian, Ukrainian, Czech, Slovak, Polskiego, Upper Sorbian, Lover Sorbian, Slovenian, Hrvatski (croatian), Serbian, Bulgarian, Macedonian, Belarussian, and Polabian.

Language / Polish and other slavic language differences [60]

Well the Cyrillic langurages will all be in cyrillic so I will be able to distinguish them only because of the accents they use over their letters (macedonian has no accents). Will message crow thanks!!

Haha I am studying biology ale chcem dostać moj minor w slavic languages (with an emphasis on Polish). They dont offer Polish as a minor by itself at my school but I can use Polish to get a Slavic lang minor which is good. I figure I speak some Polish so I should use it for a degree :)

Work / Intl business degree in Poland? [5]

What about Krakow University of Economics?

Is anyone familiar with Kozminski University? How is it as far as a business school goes? Its ranked pretty high in terms of international business schools.

Work / Intl business degree in Poland? [5]

Hmm ya I think my plan now is to get a bachelors in Krakow University of Econ and then pursue my masters at Kozminski.. Be cheaper and can spend the 1st couple years close to my family and adjust to Polska.

Law / The Stock Exchange - Poland (GPW ... or WSE). Do you invest? [34]

Merged: Investing in Polish Stock Market

Within the next year I was planning on investing in the Polish stock market. Anyone have any feedback or advice? I read a thread on this which was from 2007 and it mentioned that it wasn't very wise due to lack of conduct codes in businesses, but its been a few year and I'm noticing that companies' revenues are multiplying at an accelerated rate. What do you guys think?

Study / Bachelors in Civil / Mechanical Engineering Degree in Poland [39]

Merged: Mechanical Engineering Universities in Poland, Erasmus Programme

Which Universities in Poland have good programs where I can earn a bachelors degree in mechanical engineering? Polytechnika Warszawska has every engineering degree besides mechanical from what I can see... Any others anyone know about? AGH?

My final goal is to try and get my masters in Automotive Design in Germany (Aachen University most likely). I could get my bachelors there but I don't know anyone Germany and I have family and friends all over Poland (not to mention i speak it).

It would make sense though to study cars in Germany... what do you guys think?

Law / Buying a car in Poland or Germany? [36]

I speak good Polish. Have been checking on Allegro. So should I just look for cars at dealerships rather than privatley owned?

Food / Refried Beans and taco seasoning to buy in Nowy Sacz [7]

Thanks guys you just saved my life. I have been craving this for a while.

Also im assuming przyprawa taco wouldn't work right

Law / Exchanging a foreign / international driver's license to Polish ... [12]

Merged: International Drivers License while temporarily living in Poland

Hey guys I want to get a termporary drivers license in Poland. How can I do this? I am already here and I heard in the U.S. only AAA can issue one but there are many websites that claim they can provide one but the only thing those websites do is translate your current license into Polish, so wouldn't I just be able to translate my American prawo jazdy into Polish?

News / Why are many Poles anti-Euro2012 [16]

ok thanks. Ya I got the impression that they didn't like it because someone was being treated unfairly?

I think it will be huge business for the country. Can just imagine every pub, hotel, and store packed the entire time. We will see. I accidentally was in the rynek in Krakow when Cracowia and Wisla were supposed to play each other and the hundreds of police seemed to handle it pretty well. The craziest thing I've ever seen from the sports world though haha

Work / NEW TO POLAND (Student in KRAKOW). Life questions. [8]

Temperature here is not so bad right now, in the 60's yesterday but it will fall pretty quick. Winter gets down to sub-zero frequently so bring a ton of warm clothes. Clothing in Poland is as much or even more expensive than in the U.S. so I would just do shopping at home if I were you although there is this swap meat on weekends called the Tomeks where you can find cheaper clothing but as you may guess the quality might not be that great.

Not sure about the musical instrument shops but I'm sure you can google that part and find alot of stuff.

Merged: Registering a business in Poland

Hey guys I want to register a business in Poland and send products from Poland to China with my colleague. Where do I start? I just got my Polish citizenship so I think that will make it easier for me. I know I need to get a nip number but how should I do that and do I do this after I register my business or at the same time?

Also what are the costs of registering a business. I have been told that it costs 1500 zloty to register a business here. Is this true?
