GERMANS WANT TO GERMANIZE KOPERNIK (COPERNICUS)! OUTRAGE!

You are sick. It is what I am talking about. I have to write in all articles I write that I am Polish and I feel Polish not German even my mother has German name but it doesn't matter. All blue eyed Poles do the same !!! Because one day somebody will claim you to be German.

This guy (BB) is sick.

You are confusing poetry with mess.


I know. But it's understandably natural as Germans need to do a whole lot more thinking than Poles before they come up with some big time idea.

Martin Luther thought and thought and thought some more and then... nothing! - he ended up thinking that the Sun revolves around the earth.

In this particular case even the pretty pictures didn't help, and since multimedia were in their infancy at the time Martin Luther died as stupid as he was born.

You sure do make me think of Lukasz!

Luki is that you?

lol, oops, I forgot he was born with no pigment in his hair, I'm sorry!

lol...sorry but it sounded so romantic... just a big poster above the bed is missing... ;)

That's not the point. I'm proud to be Russian but this doesn't mean I always share my government's views and humour them.


Heh... My Lithuanian friend bought a car in Germany and had to get a transit visa in Poland. He [friend] has a dolichocephalic (long) skull (rather germanic type) and fair hair. When he took a picture n Poland for visa, they rounded his head and made him red-haired. Awesome picture!!! :))) Pure Polack! :))

Subj: I'm quite sideliner here... but just wonder... BB, does Kopernik sound german to you? Or you claim his last name were forcibly altered to Kopernik from any german version of this word? For me Kopernik sounds rather Slavic...

Uh oh....you are right Shopski...that sounds mightily like Luki....

ha ha, yes, I think BB has the hots for poor ol' Mikolaj.


ugh, don't get him started on his Kopperlingk perversion again....

It reminds me of the town Koepenick...you know....in Berlin :)
But what do I know.....

Blue eyes are nice...what can I say....:)


Read this:

What ?

Kopernik is Polish name.
Polish word koper means in english dill

portalwiedzy.onet.pl/tlumacz.html?qs=koper&tr=ang-auto&x=0&y=0

But do you violently oppose them?

You sound like another poster Lukasz.....who likes to make a dramatic production about leaving the forum and then pops up a few days later with a new name. :) Don't cha?

Come out of your candy wrapper Luki!

Seems everybody who is now online posting in this thread only. :)


nik is typically slavic suffix. :) The base reminds me of "copper" only... :)) (metal) and doesn't look slavic.


Cool. :) In Russian it's "ukrop". Close. :) Good to know.


I just oppose with no "violently". The word "violently" undermeans fanatism, which is bad and I always try to avoid that feeling.

It isn't him. Lukasz is busy gathering a crusade together to march into Germany....

economicexpert.com/a/Copernicus:nationality.htm

Again:

Actually, Berlin was established by Slavs, and the name itself is purely Slavic.

it's a hot topic... only lurkers are affraid to get burned... ;)

Nah.....I don't think so.
He's addicted to this place even when it gets the best of him.
And he has a fascination with adopting other personas!
Freud would have a field day with him.

Okay....WHO can we fight over next?

I don't know what are you talking about.


USE POLISH ENGLISH DICTIONARY
KOPER IS IN ENGLISH DILL. IT IS POLISH WORD.

Yep! Your English skills are on par with Luki, too.

I'm keeping a close eye on you!

You should claim it!
(And then throw the Turks out...pleeeaaaase!)

:)


Erm....and that Koper is english (or not) makes Kopernikus polish???

This logic IS so "lukian"....:)

Good lord, I'm over 1000 posts now.. time to really try and sleep..

Goodnight my Polish brothers and sisters.

Goodnight my enemy, BB :)


Must be the German in you!

How did the Slavs establish Berlin?
I need a history lesson.
Who's game?

Sleep well, Fili! :)

Ok BB, that's a good point. But look at Julekcg's dill-version. It sounds plausible as well.
So "the battle for Copernik" Ger-Pol 1 - 1 so far.


Hey, why only "polish"?! :( Where do you guys live right now? In Moscow it's morning now. I thought you Filios lived in Greece.

Oh thanks! Leave me out :(

Naughty Filios! No more beer for you!

*throws towel*

I don't understand some plots here.
Koper is Polish word check in dictionary.

portalwiedzy.onet.pl/tlumacz.html?qs=koper&tr=ang-auto&x=0&y=0

ending -nik is Polish.
Piernik Sernik Kopernik.

lol... I forgot to cover "other ally Germans and Europeans"

Gute Nacht Frau Shopgirl ;)

(To tell you the truth, I prefer vodka over beer anyway...)

Where is the reason for "dill"??? I don't understand...


Sure...-nik is polish, that's why his family name was probably Kopplerlingk and later became Kopernikus!

Only Poles call him the polish version of Kopernik....

That's also the main reason why the space program will stay called "Kopernikus" and not the polish-only version of "Kopernik"...
