Language / Polish was chosen the HARDEST LANGUAGE in the world to learn... :D [1558]

Genau!

As in "Donaudampfschiffahrtsgesellschaftskapitän"

Which gender? Easy... "....kapitän" is male:
"DER Donaudampfschiffahrtsgesellschaftskapitän"

But what about

"Donaudampfschiffahrtsgesellschaftskapitänsmütze"?

also easy because "...mütze" is female:
"DIE Donaudampfschiffahrtsgesellschaftskapitänsmütze"

but the diminuitive form would mean

"DAS Donaudampfschiffahrtsgesellschaftskapitänsmützchen"

See!

But Hausmeerschweinchen is umlautless, so I wouldn't know if it's masculine, feminine or neuter.

Well...it has a "chen" and you don't know if it's a boy or a girl so using neuter is a good guess!

If you like to speak about an explicit male guinea pig you would say:
"Das männliche Meerschweinchen"

(In german the name of a male pig is "Eber"...so you could try "Der Meereber (fully male)"...but I'm not so sure about that...

It's also DAS Merkelchen...you know? Even as Mrs. Merkel is a female...

Thus all words ending with umlaut + chen are neuter.

Coool!

He is so right:

DAS Stühl-chen
DAS Windel-chen
DAS Hünd-chen
DAS Mäd-chen
DAS Jüngel-chen (diminuitive boy)
DAS Flugzeug-chen (okay...I made this one up)

DAS Bratwürst-chen

Is that madchen that's neuter? Where's the logic in that?

crossmyt.com/hc/linghebr/awfgrmlg.html

Every noun has a gender, and there is no sense or system in the distribution; so the gender of each must be learned separately and by heart. There is no other way. To do this one has to have a memory like a memorandum-book.

The examples you gave are all the same gender as they would be in Polish! (Shock! Horror!)

We have definitely more vowels!
For me the lack of it would make it a harder language as I would never have the chance to speak it is it would be right...that would suck! :(

Having said that, I have read about the word dziewczę, meaning girl.

With german it's the same...

BB, how easily can you tell the gender of a noun in German? I

DER Mann (man) - male

DIE Frau (woman) - female

DAS Kind (child) - neuter (because we do not know yet what it will be)

See? All easy and logical! :)

Okay...but I have no idea why it is

DER Junge (boy) male

but

DAS Mädchen (girl) neuter

Genealogy / THE MEANING AND RESEARCH OF MY POLISH LAST NAME, SURNAME? [4500]

That is totally different!

As the surnames became fashion several centuries back the actual profession like baker or cartwright played a big role also often the place of living or outstanding characteristics like height and such.

But denigrating nicknames don't make logical family surnames because those families most likely already had proper surnames as they came into contact with a hostile, foreign population.

Also when one looks at the link about the "Niemczuras" in the US they seem to be polish families, not german ones...

Genealogy / THE MEANING AND RESEARCH OF MY POLISH LAST NAME, SURNAME? [4500]

Niemczura might be roughly translated as that "kraut *****", "Teutonic slut", "Hitlerite hag", etc.

But these family surnames are so much older than anything "Kraut", or "Hitlerite"...

Hmmm....doubtfull...just google this name:
google.com/search?hl=en&q=Niemczura&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f&oq=

It seems to be an international quite wide spread surname...
A somewhat unlogical development if that would had be seen as a nick.
Family names are seldom derogatory nicknames given by enemies! :)

(Or they just forgot to tell them...)

Food / Polish Milk Soup [72]

Does anyone know where it originated? What town/s or region/s?

Interesting history

de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milchsuppe

Milk soup was used in the first Kappeler war. There it was eaten in 1529 as a conciliation meal.
The reformed citizen of Zurich gave the bread and the catholic Swiss gave the milk.

News / Is NORD STREAM dangerous for Poland's natural enviroment? [516]

Where do I quote myself?

And yes, I love to eat fish too and I dare to say that Germany does much more for clean waters than Ukraine!
Do you even have a green party?

Just become a bit more humane after what you did in 20th century with your lovers

Oh puuuuleeeeeeze!

Thanks anyway.

Then make up your mind...either a second Ribbentrop-Molotov pact or help.
Believe me...we are not happy to pay for Ukrainians duties. And of course we do it "for our own sake". We need functioning pipelines! We need the gas!!!

Ukraine can't be trusted with either the delivery nor the maintaining of the needed infrastructure...
Here you have a reason why we need alternatives first hand!

News / Is NORD STREAM dangerous for Poland's natural enviroment? [516]

Why do you quote yourself?

That wasn't my "smart" idea to call it a "gas war" or to state the Ukraine "won" it...

Baltic will stay relatively clean and fish will live there.

Germany is a world leader in green, environmental friendly politics and technology for decades now! Ukraine is so not!
When you use arguments then please be honest at least and don't pretend you give a shit about the baltic see and her fish!

EU will find some other ways to supply itself with gas, no doubt.

There wouldn't be no need to search for other ways if the Ukraine would be a reliable partner...
For western Europeans (not only Germans!) it looks like countries like Ukraine are the "choke" on Europe, unreliable disrupting the gas deliveries either because of neglect of the pipelines or bad will due differences with Russia or no money to pay for their own gas hence stealing from the gas bought by western Europe etc.etc.etc, not Russia, sorry...

Oh and Nathan...Germany isn't your enemy!
Just recently the EU agreed to help to renovate the ukrainian pipelines...something the Ukraine should do by herself but can't.
2.5 Bln $ EU money, lot's of it german money and through german support!
Think about it....

Absolutely and it is possible and less expensive.

Better safe with an alternative than sorry...I don't trust the Ukraine to deliver the gas to western Europe when they themselves are freezing because they can't pay the Russians.

I feel Poland needs this to remain free.

And a new arms race with the Russians is helping Polands freedom how exactly?

News / US to deploy Patriot missiles to Poland [405]

Cel? Did you read the same article???

..."When we started discussing this with the United States, the U.S. assured us they would persuade the Russians that it was purely defensive and it would be a non-controversial decision," he told the annual Brussels Forum conference...

Well...they didn't.
Quite to the contrary Russia is now threatening with a new arms race!

Why are you so hot on this shield? Europe needs it like a wart...

...At the same event, U.S. Congresswoman Ellen Tauscher, who is expected to be named the new U.S. under secretary for arms control and international security, said the missile system would not be deployed until it had been proven to work....

Well...it doesn't.
A quite blurry way out but a way out nonetheless!

She said NATO needed to develop a short- to medium-range system, something that could involve cooperation with Russia.

Sounds more like a "wind of change"...

He likes talking about Serbia, and I'd like to know whether Serbia is closer in this respect, to Poland or to the Mediterranean thing.

"No real German"? What's that supposed to mean?

As a German you would know. But as a nationalistic, germanophobic Pole you are much better in tune with how some Poles call some Germans...there your "pseudo-junkers" etc. fits very well!

You apparently didn't understand the point, that's the problem.

Oh but I understood to well...you were speaking of "dying out" people, not some banking problem..again only rafalistic clichès and empty phrases which I countered with info and statistics. And even Darius' experiences speak another language...

Manno Rafal, you are so recognizable and predictable it get's boring!

Guten morgen, mein Herr!

Hello Filios! *waves*

(Brathwurst Boy: don't you think this is a little pathetic to throw this accusation? I had a better opinion of you)

My opinon of you didn't change at all...

Oh...and you Schizo can stop sending me desperate PM's too...

Somehow I come to think "Elbprinz" is our "Rafal"....give up, I found you out...you write to similiar!

All you produce is cliché ridden crap.

Nope...I even give you links...as usual!
And as usual YOU are the one producing just clichès, Rafal!

No real German would call them "pseudo junker" or "noblemen" and at the same
time call himself "Elbprinz"! :):):)
And working in a bank, applauding tax fraud...you lived in Hamburg for some years, didn't you? ROFL

"Elbprinz"="Rafal"

So what?

You have no idea at all or you wouldn't talk such nonsense.
Back to stealing a poor Oma her pension for you...

I have a degree in political science.

A common sense and a brain would be of more use for you!

Eastern Germany and what is now western Poland was for centuries a heavily mixed territory...as Poles now come over to live here Germans go over to live there, often to their families roots, bringing money with them, often opening chances and offering employments...there is nothing wrong with that but getting back to the natural state as it once was.

"...pseudo junker..."

"...noblemen..."

Do you have an idea how commie and ridiculous that sounds?

PS: Polen is one of the most favourite emmigrant countries for Germans! 4th place overall...topping even the UK!
Now guess how many of those many thousands did chose Poland for heritage reasons?
It couldn't be about the higher living standards or the great employment market possibilities, now can't it!
"very few dying out pseudo junkers" my ass!

Germany will become tropical probably soon anyway...the Ostsee it is!

There's a bunch of senile and/or confused people who fantazise about lost property in Poznań or Śląsk, but that's gonna be solved biologically in at least one generation.

But I wouldn't be so sure about that (and what does a wessi banker knows about such things anyhow...)

Of course historically and against all odds it seems that Poles are too stubborn (by nature?) to give either up.

My God, man, you're so self-important that it hurts. Of course I tranfer my money to a Swiss or Lux bank account if it pays! And most people I know try to evade our high taxes (with the help of their local German banks, that is!), and certainly that's normal behaviour! Steinbrück is a joke!

That says all one needs to know...really!
A self-righteous, egoistical tax evader, but most people are not like you, sorry!
Or our society would had collapsed long ago...
But most people are honest and don't sympathize with criminals and thiefs and leechers...I'm so glad people like you are going to be pissed off!

Oh and I for sure don't apologize for your gramps if he was part of an "immoral soldateska"...your problem, not mine! My gramps wasn't!

Steinbrück=Hamburger! There are good ones too...

It's unbelievable but Swiss doesn't love you too!

Yeah...it always get's ugly if it's about money.

Man I admire our Steinbrück, he says what so many only thought for so long.
All these leeching tinies around us like Luxemburg, Liechtenstein and also the Suisse who do not much else but leeching the money out of Germany getting now what they deserve.

At least a man who stops this! YAY, go Steinbrück!

And look how they rant and sputter...YAY!
Believe me Germany is behind him and all real honest, hard working people in the world too...it's about time.
Maybe this crisis has something good after all...
