Language / "Na" and "W" , when to use? [15]

no bamse there is only one proper form, what you are talking about is prolly an effect of talking with some minorities who speak very poorly polish or ppl that lets say arent to the highest of standards.

its like that with every country, there are groups of ppl who dont speak the proper language making the most obvious gramar and spelling mistakes and just because they use it right that doesnt make it right.

Genealogy / Minkin from Poland? [10]

I was wandering where do you get this data from? you got some sort of online database of Polish citizens?

cool thx.

Language / "Na" and "W" , when to use? [15]

It has nothing to do with the size of the location. It's like that simply because of the way it should be used it like when you say.... it has to do with gramar and style of speach.

Czy jeszcze pracujesz w biurze? - Do you still work in the office?

Czy pani jeszcze studiuje na uniwersytecie? - Do you still study at the university?

Food / How many Poles are vegetarians? [52]

I'm actualy proud to say that I made my friend quit vegetarianism by showing him how good polish kilebasa is ;)

Food / How many Poles are vegetarians? [52]

Maybe for a short run. Fruits have sugar and vitamins. But for a longer run that wouldnt be enough. Plus living only of fruits is just an excuse for beeing cheap.

Food / How many Poles are vegetarians? [52]


Ok you might think your healthy and that your died is full.
If your a women that tries to keep her line and watch her diet then beeing a vegan might make things easier.
But is it realy a full and healthy diet?

I dont think you will ever see a labourer or a military men living off vegan diet!
Thats the best example there is! people who need a lot of energy on daily basis need more then soya and potatos can give them.

I myself have balanced diet.
Lots of mean (ah! polish chops and kilebasa) also diary products, vegetables. And I doubt I would be in shape I am now if my diet wouldnt include meat which is its vital part!

Food / How many Poles are vegetarians? [52]

close your eyes donkey this might be painfull.

Food / How many Poles are vegetarians? [52]


I totaly agree!
this vegan food needs to be boosted with all sorts of chemistry so that they can make the perfect soya chop. Its meet free sure - but they cant guarantee that you wont gain an extra leg.

Nobody is saying that one should eat a big steak everyday cuz that will kill you.
But if I didnt eat a red tasty chop once in a while I'd go crazy.

Food / How many Poles are vegetarians? [52]

OK how shall I put it...
If someone claims that is polish but doesnt eat our fine kielbasa nor bigos nor many others delicious meals (Tatar one of my favorites - raw meat which is prepared in a specific way)

then something is wrong with that person.

- my point of view.

Language / Polish/Ukrainian words similarities [209]


yeah well the languages sound very familiar. I come from those parts and have no problem understanding ukrainian. Plus you need to remember that for a very long time Ukraine was part of Poland so the cultures mixed with one another.

As it come to Lvov.... a tear comes to my eye. I wont say anything to avoid beeing called racist or anti Ukrainian (I love 'em). But if you look for Lvov history in the internet you will know.

Work / Advice on Teaching English in Poland [709]

Especialy on sunday dinner or when guests and family arive its to show the hospitality.

But Michal is writing something different, so maybe he is right and for whole this time when I've been visiting my parents and my mom put the white cloth on the table.. maybe... just maybe its because they wanted to use me. Yup Michal is probably right, Again.

every family is different, get to know first if they drink alcohol.
The fact is that if there is going to be only you, your bf and his parents then If I were you, I wouldnt take any vodka. But if it was to be some bigger family meeting then I would think about it.
