That's why I think Trzaskowski should slow down a little

Don`t be silly. Trzaskowski values his and his listeners/interlocutors` time. It is a great asset he speaks fast. Only limited azholes don`t appreciate it. Simple.

With politicians i

Rubbish.

I'm wondering

You are definitely wondering too much. :):):)

A top PiS politician is leaving his wife, probably for her attention sicking obsession. She has been very active on social media and in private life - e.g, she set up a party called I have enough or joined the national guard for 1 month. Recently she has taken up freak fighting and even scored some successes. But her husband called it pathological a few days ago.

They have one daughter.
Pity they are splitting coz she certainly warmed up the image of her husband as a politician.

it was quite clear that he said 'forgotten'.

No, it wasn`t, you heard it in your mind`s ear coz you expected it. Ha!!!!

to me

You is you while me is me. I have the right to stick to my opinions. Ha!!!

Obviously you have a preference

Of course. I don`t have time to listen to slow azholes who drawl their words. Life is too short. Fast speakers are an advantage.

You think too much about 'mistakes'

That`s my job, maf. I take huge money for it each month. :):)

But I do not focus on mistakes only. I evaluate also other things and I always start with positive appraisal. Check my comment on that Legutko guy.

He heavily aspirates the t, which Poles tend to hear as Polish c

Probably, but T aspiration takes place when it is in an initial position in a word. Here it isn`t. It isn`t even at the beginning of a stressed syllable.

This way or another, a mistake. :):):)

There's a hesitation or break or short pause between the two final syllables.

No, there isn`t any break when he utters the word.
However, I thought he said forgot soon but on second thoughts it can`t be soon coz it would sound even worse grammar.. He says sth like forgotson. Strange.

wouldn't hear it as a mistake....

It is their problem what they hear. A mistake is a mistake. Simple. Ha!

Stop lying. Show me where I meant all Polish male population. Ha!!!!

Nothing in the article you used to back up .

Darling, I am Polish so I usually read a few articles on a matter but give you a link to one. So, stop azholing about sth which isn`t mentioned in my link coz it is in others. :):):)

What can you do besides sending him to Siberia to teach bears English grammar?

Arrange it with your Russian buddies when the make you the governor of central region. hahahaha

Genealogy / What are common Polish character traits? [425]

like many Polish people, a) you are a nit-picker who likes to argue b) you can't admit you're wrong about something c) you're too arrogant to take advice,

hahaha So true. Typical Pole/Poless. ::):):)
Atch, be careful not to acquire those awful traits from your long stay in Poland and being married into original Poles who like to argue etc etc :):):)

What are other positions on the list???? :):):)

And a simple slip at the most rather than a mistake as such.

No, it was a grammar mistake in Passive, whether we call it a slip or blip.... :):):) Unless we are singing Auld Lyng Sein but he wasn`t :):):)

it wouldn't be considered an error.

Exactly, for example, in the fields where two rednecks are talking about their livestock or crops. Or singing ALS. :):):)

There aren't enough hours in the day.

Exactly!! That is why I imagine Atch keeps several lists, numbered from 1 to 5 and when she needs to reproach her Polish husband by throwing his vices in his face, she just takes out a specific list and uses it. hahahaha

Tarczyński can speak English so fluently!

Do you all remember how I reported a week or two ago that pitbull Tarczyński replaced philosopher Legutko in PiS representation to the EU Parliament?

I said that Legutko had graduated from English Philology Department in 1970s. He speaks fluently, not so fast as Trzaskowski, though, but very clearly.

So clearly that I was surprised hearing sth strange, namely a grammar mistake. At the very beginning, at 0:20, he said: a politician now largely forgot instead of forgotten. Can you check it yourself and tell me if there is sth wrong or not?? The subtitles added to the video by the Parliament translators say correctly forgotten but I hear forgot.



because like many Polish people, a) you are

:)::):)
Do you also use such lists of Polish people`s vices when arguing with your Polish husband ??? Do you carry such a list on you so when the brawl starts you just take it out and read??? hahahahaha

Amasing!!!

to take advice

I can`t take "advice" from you personally coz I consider you a forum azhole and as such your "advice" is worthless. Ha!!! :):):)

Such scum needs to be locked with the key thrown away.

He's giving an interview.

Darling, if I wrote that he was discussing an issue for Al Jazeera TV, it was obvious he was doing an interview, wasn`t it??? :):):)

with distinct American influences

That`s irrelevant. It is his fluency which counts. :):):)

Excellent fluency

While talking about it, I had no idea that certain right wing PiS politician Dominik Tarczyński can speak English so fluently! With terrible accent and sick excitement, but at least more fluently than Sikorski. AmaSSing!!!!

Here he is discussing illegal migrants in Poland for Al Jazeera tv:

Wow, I am so positively surprised. :):):)

Travel / Poland wildlife and similar wild life where you live. [246]

Moose population have risen significantly in recent years.

Without going into detailed analyzes of the history of moose in Poland, it can be briefly stated that 2001 was a breakthrough year for this species. The Ministry of the Environment then introduced a moratorium on the shooting of moose, which resulted in a constant increase in their national population. While the estimated number of moose before the hunting suspension was approximately 2,000 in Poland, it increased to 10,000 in 2012 and last year it reached 34 thousand. It can be said that in the 21st century the number of moose in Poland has increased 17 times.

Amasing!
