UK, Ireland / Time for the Poles from the UK to go home [437]
I bet ola123 will be SO happy to see all the Poles come home.
At least until they all start buying property with the money they saved up, and house prices go sky-high in Poland as well. Then she will moan about Poles pricing her out of the property market, not the English! hahaha!!!! Personally I think Poland is so over, which is why I'm moving to Ulan Bator :D <g> lol
No, I don't think it's time for the Poles to go home.

Travel / Stag Parties in Kraków [119]
When I was there, I behaved myself! And what's more, I never spoke a word of English either... so there goes the stereotype of British tourists in Poland! lol :)
mind you, being a non-drinking English-born Pole does mean I cheated a little. <g> :)
I think the authorities need to get tough or lose the well-behaved tourists

but this can't always be done when translating between languages, like e.g. trying to translate phrases like nigdy nie ma into English; it doesn't quite work, grammatically, if you try and translate it exactly, you have to use different words to get your point across. though oddly enough, you can do it in London inner-city slang, e.g. I'm never on no long ting (I'm never doing/having anything dull, lol) but not in correct English as far as I can see, haha.
When I meant specific, I meant some kind of a word that defines something among the same group as different or special..

it doesn't mean he's 6'10". :)

you could refer to the "ordinary" Elvis as zwykły, and "The" Elvis as wyjątkowy, originalny, or unikalny.
Like if someone said, "Hey that looks like Elvis."
and his friend said back to him, "That is not just any Elvis, but THE Elvis."

as above; you would probably have to say something like "nie jest tylko panem, ale Wielkim Panem", I expect, to emphasise the importance of "the" in "the man".
it's a foreign concept in PL language. read - non existant. you just have to use the proper words to get the proper meaing across.

lol. but the Poles were never part of the Commonwealth/Empire, so the PC brigade are never going to allow that to happen are they. that's also why it's OK to be racist to Poles. :(
