Work / Salary expectations in Poland [373]

Do you think i got any chance of getting no less than 1,000 euros

Sorry norgean - I'm not an expert on salaries in Poland, but from what I heard, Polish people are really paid badly. I might be wrong, but I think Polish doctors' salaries averaged in the beginning of the year around 1 200 PLN. There are some threads regarding salaries elsewhere on the forum as well. It might be different in international companies, but I'm not sure.

I am sure that someone will correct me, and inform you some more.

Work / Salary expectations in Poland [373]

thanks for your effort Mufasa... :-)

;) no problem. I do know though that people live here and are happy. They still care about each other, and somehow, Polish people also manage - with their small salaries - to do great things! I've always been fascinated when I think how they do it. One of the staff members at my husband's office, eg. has tens of thousands of rands worth of camera equipment to pursue his photography interest. I know that he took some time off work a while ago, to redo the floors of their flat to save money for a camra lens :) He has a wife and three daughters to look after.

Food / Polish Eating Habits [87]

I don't see why Polish people have to start eating 'healthy'. They somehow burn all the kilojoules they absorb - walking their dogs in the park if nothing else! If you can get away with that, why not? I am awaiting a storm by the forum ...;)

Travel / How much is a cab: Warsaw airport to the bus station? [27]

don't take any of the ones that are waiting to pick u up - call Ele or Sawa, and wait a little bit - unless of course one of them is ready to pick you up.

23 euro was a bit of a rip-off, i think

Travel / Best Easter Eggs in Warsaw? [9]

so the marmite pot has arrived, has he?

I have no idea what the street number is, or exactly where, but I saw the other day as I came into Marszałkowska street (not from the city centre side, but where it's still a one way next to the tremline on the way into the city centre) on the left hand side of the road there's a chocolaterie. haven't tried it yet - dangerous place for Muff to go to - but maybe they'll have some?

Life / Indian Stores In Warsaw [139]

The Asian House has branches in ul. Poznańska and in Galeria Mokotów. I know that they have two other branches, just can't remember the addresses, but they have leaflets in the store with all the addresses of the four branches.

Hope you enjoy it here. We're from South Africa and we really have so far.

Language / Conjugation of rąbać (to chop wood) [6]

Please help with the conjugation of rąbać (to chop wood)?

As far as I know, and in general (because I know how many iregularnies there are, hence the question),

verbs ending in -ać are conjugated with -am, -asz, -a, etc,

so according to this rule, rąbać should become rąbam, rąbacz, rąba, rąbamy, etc.,

but it sounds really funny, so I just wanted to ask.

Thanks Vince and Mushroom. This morning when I woke up, I thought about the
-ę conjugation, and wondered, and now you've both confirmed it.

Language / Rozpoczynać - Zaczynać [12]

Time to test what I've learnt...

Is zaczynać the perfect form of the imperfect verb rozpoczynać, or are they just synonyms?
