History / Esperanto - an effort by a Pole ... [122]

The real pity is that Zamenhof himself wanted people to rise above things as petty as nationalism.

Oh yeah, just like the Americans - nobody calls Americans nationalist, even though they had their own problems. I heard that Jews in America had problems getting certain jobs till well in the 60s, and Blacks still have problems, not to mention Puertoricans.

So we had problems too - big deal.

News / Gazeta Wyborcza of Poland losing readers [301]

Who is spreading "hate speech" against Poland?

GW is spreading hate, general disdain and contempt for anything local. it stems out of their concentrating on whatever is 'modern, international, progressive', and results in calling half the nation 'mohair berets'

If anyone wants to blame GW for all the bad things happening in Poland, they I suggest they grow up and look around.

Oh dear - but it is precisely the fault of 20 years of hate speech against their own country. 20 years of belittling everything apart from carpaccio with goat cheese, because that alone is foreign enough.

Why not grow up and draw conclusions?

News / Gazeta Wyborcza of Poland losing readers [301]

no cos takiego;) lol

in 2006 to be exact: wirtualnemedia.pl/artykul/gazeta-wyborcza-za-zlotowke

After the success of the promotion of "Gazeta Wyborcza subscription for 1 zł " in the Kuyavian - Pomeranian (it takes a few months ) , from 14 February 2006 . "Gazeta Wyborcza" starts the action by offering readers across the country a new form of subscriptions - subscriptions kiosk .

As part of the subscription kiosk reader contracting and receiving all releases of "Gazeta Wyborcza" in the selected kiosk is guaranteed to receive " Newspapers " in the special offer price . Price of "Gazeta Wyborcza" kiosk subscription amounts for each day of 1,40 zł for the issue of capital and 1 zł for the rest of the country. Subscriptions will be received on a monthly basis - from March to the end of June 2006 .

The current subscription price ( for one month) of a national is 49 zł 66 zł in the capital .

Delphi - you're spot on. They're all bloody leftist, always thinking about how much money power and respect they are DUE (należy się). Never thinking about actually making the money they want to spend. Hence the wyjechani (fuk-outs)

Last time I were in Lodz they were giving GW free on tram stops. And you could sign up for subscription of this means of control for just 1 zeta per issue.

People came to the conclusion that Wybiorcza (Selective, as in selective truth), is going down the down, and invested in Dziennik Lodzki instead.

The Rzeczpospolita has been bough by the left as well.

History / Why is there NOTHING (besides Gdansk and Szczecin) in former Prussia? [80]

I meant the North of today's Poland. I come from Lodz, and could always get a train to Krakow, Poznan, Katowice, Warszawa, I've done that often while in the Uni: drinks and student accomodation in Krakow, Indian clothes shops and theatres in Warsaw, friends in Katowice. It's full of things.

Magda went away to the north, and did not expect to find herself in such dessert - you get the Tricity, the coastline, and the next post of civilisation is... Warsaw.

Great effort byt the Prussians, eh? And to think that tourists are asking 'was all castles in Poland built by the Order, too?'

History / Why is there NOTHING (besides Gdansk and Szczecin) in former Prussia? [80]

What is there anyway? Two cities, Gdansk and Szczecin. Lots of nothing spotted with tiny little townships...

My friend from Krakow moved to Gdynia for a couple of years and now she's back. She reports that outside of city limits there wasn't much anyhow. And no roads neither.

That casts some light on the great things the Prussians have built in Poland while 'civillising' the land, eh? A mott and a bailey, constructed with bricks from torn down houses of the locals...

I'm sure you all heard about the reisen, Marienburg, keeping the commoners in stark poverty, and generally acting all flashy. But it's not so easy to reach the conclusion that indeed the Prussian rule had hurt those lands - because everyone is so impressed with Mercedes, they think everywhere German went, they immediately washed their feet.

Not in Prussia - in Prussia they lived in a form of a siege.

IMHO.

Language / To wear: nosić, nieść, ponieść? [10]

HI, Róża!

Great question. The noun nosić is normally used as you said it - however when it's relating 'wearing', it's frozen in some usual forms:

Zwykle noszę spódnicę (I usually wear a skirt), - właśnie tak.

ale dzisiaj niosę dżinsy (but today I am wearing jeans). - dzisiaj noszę dżinsy, dzisiaj mam na sobie dżinsy.

Tylko raz poniosłem moją nową bluzkę (I have only worn my new blouse once)?
Tylko raz założyam moją nową bluzkę, tylko raz miałam na sobie moją nową bluzkę, tylko raz nosiłam moją nową bluzkę.

History / Lwów, Wilno ... kresy - Poland have lost enormoust part of our heritage... [389]

the land was ours, if not for us it'd be two barns and a field but today its someone else' and thats that.

nailed.

if you're missing home, boys, do what we do - go to court and apply for return of private property. if refused - buy it like a normal person. I stil have hopes for a piece of folwark around Ivano-Frankivsk. I will be tempted to call it Stanisławów. But I won't be tabpted to break any laws of the country. Most are standard anyway.

You guys gotta stop talking about Poland/Ukraine like we ever invaded and conquered. We weren't Germans in those lands. We've slid right in by marrying Ruthenian leaders to Polish leaders.

We've never before thought about those relations as anything different that 'Ukraine should be with us against Russians'. Really surprised that Ukraine might actually choose the cruelty of the Muscovites. Ok if you want to be killed, starved, and herded west in a GRAND ARMY as the first line of disposable boys... Sad that it means for us getting in their clutches again.

History / The Greatest King of Poland? [117]

I don't think so - when I talked to some German tourists, in Croatia, on a boat - they say they regretted that they never come visiting Poland.

I think if Neighbours visited us more often, it should be easier to make real life friendships. Like I go to Germany sometime to eat Lebkuchen and drink Riesling

Król Sas Niech żyje nam.

the German one? Heh, best time between PL and DE. Swapping Kings ;) Lots of love, no war at all. All those marriages between all levels of people. And even Germans peacefully living in Poland as citizens.

Bring that time back!

Language / Pronunciation of vowels at the end of a word [28]

Or that ą in ząb, Dąbrowski and czarną are pronounced the same

zomp
dommrofski
czarnom

are all laziness. if you'd like to hear it pronounced properly, see a film with trained actors like Stuhr

Language / Pronunciation of vowels at the end of a word [28]

she might not hear - it's sheprasham and 'sheprasham instead of psheprasham, we really don't concentrate on the initial sound. besides our p's and b's are not as carefully pronounced as in English, where they come out with a burst of air. she might not notice them.

by shwa I mean that at the end of the last word of the sentence we might just forget to vocalize everything. in between words it's usually blurred, too. but the essencial idea is that the brain makes up and still hears full words.

dobrY wieczór is usually clearly pronounced

dzień dobry might be something like dziń dobr: - but those are not real rules, it's just careless pronounciation. don't copy that

Language / Pronunciation of vowels at the end of a word [28]

it's due to being sloppy when talking casually. I've noticed that the English people give the 'jen dobrey' pronnounciation, too. however, if they concentrate on the vowels, they exaggerate so much that the word turns into another word. dobry with a shwa is '(m) good', while dobrej with a long yay is '(f) of the good'.

so I would try to ignore this sloppiness on our side - you'll probably get the mumbling habit yourself, as with all bad habits it's the easiest to acquire.

News / Will many Poles migrate to Germany in May 2011 (after opening labor market)? [157]

I already received two offers from Germany and one from Switzerland - so I guess there must be loads of companies looking for Polish employees, if they even managed to dig up my old CV in England.

Plus its not illegal to work there if you have an invitation, sort of like in Poland.
