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!!! :):):)

He's giving an interview.

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!

You're a language teacher who

Yes, I judge their fluency from teacher`s point of view, having the expectations towards an examinee at the oral exam in mind. I would definitely prefer to examine Trzaskowski than Sikorski who, while debunking the Russian ambassador`s lies in the UN, was speaking slowly, monotonously, in a dull voice with a lot of pausing.

It isn't.

Yes, it is . You have no idea what the requirements at the oral exam are. Amasing! :):)

Check it out:

Fluency of speech
2 points - there are no pauses in the statement OR there are pauses, which sometimes are unnatural, but do not interfere with the reception of the message

1 point - pauses in speech occur frequently and are unnatural; sometimes they disturb the reception of the message

0 points -
· pauses in speech occur very often and are unnatural; interfere with the reception of the message

Psycho Polish males rape and murder foreign migrant women.

onet.pl/informacje/onetwarszawa/co-wiadomo-o-sprawcy-tragedii-w-warszawie-to-znaleziono-w-jego-mieszkaniu/jt95sep,79cfc278

- Unfortunately, we are very sorry, but we could not save her. The patient died today before noon. She arrived at our hospital in a very serious condition, but doctors tried to save her life. The direct cause of the woman's death was brain death, said Barbara Mietkowska, spokeswoman for UCK WUM, in an interview with Onet. The prosecutor's office also confirms the woman's death.

Doctors fought for the life of a 25-year-old woman who was in a critical condition. In the morning of Sunday, February 25, she was found naked and unconscious by the caretaker of one of the buildings at ul. Żurawia in the center of Warsaw.

It turned out that the attacker first raped her and then tried to strangle her. Surveillance recordings show that he was wearing a balaclava, ran up to the victim from behind, put a knife to her neck and dragged her to the entrance gate. He raped her in the stairwell of one of the tenement houses.

He took her wallet, phones and payment cards, left her and took a tram towards Mokotów. It was there that he lived with his partner in a rented apartment. As "Fakt" found out, he did not have a permanent job and changed his place of residence several times . Before moving to Warsaw, he lived in Opole.

- It's a shock to me. I would like to know why he did it, the perpetrator's girlfriend told "Fakt" . − His girlfriend has been living here for several years. Fights and quarrels in the apartment started only when she met this boy. I heard screams every day, said the couple's neighbor in an interview with a "Super Express" journalist.

The perpetrator is Dorian S., a 23-year-old resident of Warsaw. The police detained him a few hours after the incident - surveillance footage and tracking dogs helped. He was surprised, but did not resist, he admitted to his crime. He was charged with attempting to murder a woman for robbery and sexual reasons, and was detained for three months.

Onet established that there will be an autopsy, if the result confirms that the woman died as a result of a brutal attack, the classification of the act will certainly change and the 23-year-old will be charged with murder.
