Yes, exactly.

As for your previous answers, yes, they are all correct. Terribly sorry, I somehow overlooked your post. I am getting old. :(:(:( Another proof of it is that I provided the same idiom within a few days.

Hmm, can I ask how you look for those idioms?? In most cases it is enough to translate directly word for word.

So, check jump in Polish. Then check on and the bomb. When you google the Polish sentence, you will get it immediately. It is very simple.

News / How will Polish-American relations change if Trump is elected president again? [812]

Divine Kamala has already won in Poland!!!

IV High School named after American President Herbert Clark Hoover organized the primaries for the US president for the fourth time. In addition to IV HS, eight schools from Ruda Śląska took part in the simulation: I HS im. Adam Mickiewicz and primary schools no.: 3, 4, 22, 28, 36, 40 and 41.

The simulation is conducted in accordance with the rules of the US elections. Each class represents one state and knows how many electoral votes it has. Later, students vote in their classes and finally, during the finale of the game, they announce the results in individual states. Katarzyna Nowak emphasizes that it is not just fun.

Language / Which books do native Polish people in Poland use to learn Polish? [72]


The two decent boys return to the scout camp. Although scared shytless, they wake up the camp commander. He is unpleasantly surprised and visibly pissed off but seeing the injured roe deer, he softens his attitude and takes care of the animal. The boys can hear a metal clank nearby - when they check it out, they find the poaching trap in the grass, brought by the leader of their group who gave up the expedition and came back, too.

Life / Is Polish church involved in politics too much? [137]


This means they have to take a break from organised religion coz they had too much of it - both at home and school.
It is perfectly natural and I have never told them one bad word about it.
But I am sure they will return to it one day coz mature people usually tend to relive their youth by evoking the experiences they had then.

Not quite. I would also blame it on catholic schools they attended. In two tier system. :):):)


Exactly!!! I regularly catch myself not caring about minor details anymore....... And I feel justifiied in it coz It is the requirement of modern times, I suppose.

But I don`t know English at all. I allow students to teach each other. I took this idea from the Sheherezada`s Tales of 1001 Nights.

I prefer to keep wary about their systems coz you don`t know if they are northern or southern.

Life / Is Polish church involved in politics too much? [137]


My wife and me still go to church for Sunday mass with younger kids. Older ones prefer to follow their own ways and choices. They are all anti PiS, btw.
Now, the procedure is simple - a person who rejects PIS as obsessive liars, thieving bolsheviks and political gangsters, will associate the RC church with them and refuse to have anything in common with RC religion.

You don`t believe in Chinese genius in creating such real life systems as Chinese Zodiac or Feng Shui??

I do coz they all hold water to an amazingly great extent.
Why?
Because the Chinese have had a lot of people and time to check out and prove certain correlations between various spheres of life. So, throughout thousands of years of their history, having a look at millions of people/ families/households etc, one day they came to the conclusion that a neglected garden full of dead trees contributed to health problems and possibly, an earlier death of its owner(s). In contrast, an owner who took care of his/her garden, enjoyed a long illness-free life.

Do you mean what I know now????????

Life / Is Polish church involved in politics too much? [137]

Excellent comment on the PIS politician`s rally in an RC church:

Przemysław Czarnek claims that he did not talk about politics in church. The problem is that religion is so mixed with politics in his speeches that when he talks about Christian Poland, he thinks about a country ruled by PiS. This is the best way to ensure that churches will be empty.

In a decade or two, when first churches in Poland are turned into community or sports centres or posh cafes/restaurants, don`t ask me who contributed to that situation.

Dying or dead plants and trees in the vicinity of a house can bring serious health problems for the residents of the house. Always be on the look out for dying plants and trees. If there is dead tree near your house make sure to cut it off completely. Stumps of trees facing either the front door or visible from the house can cause serious illness too.

Wow!!! So fekking correct guess!!! Thanks! :):):)

I hate stumps. Feng Shui system which I try to stick to in our garden forbids any dead elements of once living organisms remaining near the house coz it spoils the good atmosphere.

I cut down an old plum tree which didn`t bear fruit and was an alien element in the birchwood which I am trying to create in one corner of the garden. In the background, you can see little birch trees which I planted this year.

Check out the result:

Alternative is any marine fish which spends its life in open waters.

Here, my fish dishes with the main ingredient cooked over steam and served clean without any dressings or sauces coz they make fishbones hard to find. It doesn`t look very appetising but the taste is OK.
