Genealogy / Which Polish first names are considered unpopular / obsolete in Poland? [124]

There are quite a few names of Polish people I know that sound very weird and old fashioned in English.
Especially some female names,all the women I know with these names are under 40,so not that long ago;
Edyta
Marta,
Jadwiga
Genowefa
Agata
Beata

And for the boys,how about Miloslaw? :-)

Travel / Are Polish people as unfriendly as Slovaks? [84]

Not at all.I just don't think you are a true patriot in any way.
You may love Poland,but you are willing to sacrifice her in the name of diversity.

Travel / Are Polish people as unfriendly as Slovaks? [84]

I take your for word for that,but I don't know.
But certainly they watched Czech TV and listened to Czech Radio.
I have been told that younger Slowaks are finding it harder to understand Czech.
I employ Poles and Slowaks and the Slowaks can speak and understand Polish,they even get by,just,with Bulgarians.
But The Poles can't understand The Slowaks when they are talking amongst themselves.

I guess he meant sarcasm ..

I did,but was not sure that he would understand.

PS: I have two Slovak friends and they understand me when I speak Polish.

That is normal.Slowaks have a wider perception of language than Poles because of their long unity with Czechs.

Either you are using "Double Humour" or you are
completely wrong......the young Poles and Slowaks I know have a very similar attitude to life.
Work hard,party hard.

History / Unforgettable quotes about Poland and Poles from Polish and world`s history and culture [99]

He was just a Polish emigré in France

There were thousands of them,and not just from the upper classes.
Many Poles came to France between the wars to work in the mines.
To this day you will find many Polish sunames all over eastern France from the Pas de Calais to Alsace.....most of them have little Polish culture and don't speak Polish but they are Polish descendants.

Life / Owning a house in true countryside of Poland - stories [692]

Your post brings up some very important dilemmas we all face as we get older.
We all want......I don't know.....almost a reward for working hard all our lives.....and yet we have to face up to the fact that we are no longer young physicaly...only in our minds,we are still young...

History / What do Poles owe to Germans? [451]

So,you are my tool....I blame you?
It still does not tell me that Poland owes anything to Germany.
Just poor English.

Your effort is appreciated,but your failure has probably more to do with your lack of English than anything else.

Life / Owning a house in true countryside of Poland - stories [692]

I am an urbanite who has always loved countryside

As I said,it boils down to your personality.
Personally,I hate the smell of pig sty's and can still smell the stench of chickens at over 100 metres......each to our own....

History / History of two Neighbors: Poland - Germany Interrelations [283]

The fate or history of your people is irrelevant for me

You were born too late....you should have been born in 1920.......Hitler would have been your hero and you would have died following him.

Genealogy / The typical Polish look, or all Eastern Europeans [676]

My guess is that the slavic look is more pronounced with Russians than with Poles

I think you are right BB.
Poles are Slavs but also much more "Central European" in so many ways,plus they mixed more,with Germans,Austrians and Hungarians especially.

I had a similar experience in London many years ago

If the guy was a bit older and it was in West London he would probably have known Poles from the wartime generation.

it was probably because you guys have phobia about saying 'the' and 'a'

LOL!..and that!
