Language / Too many English words in the Polish language! [709]
Get a Polish thesaurus, you quickly realise that around 30% of Polish is derived from English which is derived from Latin........so no great problem.It just proves it is a dynamic and living language. Can anyone tell me though approximately how many words there are in Polish, it has always puzzled me that compared to English there seems to be far fewer but maybe thats just my impression as a native English speaker who came to live in Poland 6 years ago.
