Love / Polish women are the most beautiful in the world! [1718]

'free association' by titty tabloid tools.

Polish women may be the most beautiful in the world but these Russian girls have attitude, enjoy.

Language / Having a really hard time with Polish cases [59]

Can someone explain the different endings cases and genders because I'm totally lost

You need a book and maybe a teacher really. I recommend Hurra Po Polsku 1 which covers 5 of the cases with exercises, rules and examples etc. This video may help you:



There are 3 genders.

There are 7 cases.

There are rules for declining nouns and adjectives based on gender and case, of course there are exceptions also which need to be learnt.

So for butelka there are 7 possible endings in singular and 7 possible endings in plural.

The video left out the case wołacz.

Gumishu has an explanation about cases here that I found interesting:

Language / Short Polish<->English translations [1049]

[Moved from]: Oglądać telewizor lub oglądać telewizję?

Oglądać telewizor lub oglądać telweizję?

Are they both correct in the sense of watching television programmes?

Language / "Hilarious" Mistakes? (Esp. Across Polish and other Slavic Languages) [83]

i have grown a hide :)

:-), that's a good one!

My husband picks up this kind of Polish

Kids Polish is embarrassing but what if a man used the same language that a woman would use?! :-( If you told her that she spoke good english, she might say nie słódź mi, sometime later you meet a stranger(a man), they say that you speak good Polish, trying to keep up the pretence of speaking good Polish and being stuck for another answer except the one you remember you say..................... :-(, tragedia i wstyd.

treat myself to gold membership as xmas present

Hi Pam, I don't want to insult you or anyone on Polish forums but I think that you would get more value if you bought yourself some Polish lessons from a good Polish teacher, someone who teaches Polish as a profession, who has materials and a course ready.

Language / "Hilarious" Mistakes? (Esp. Across Polish and other Slavic Languages) [83]

probably only funny because of my terrible polish

This is part of learning any language I think, that you will be bad at the start and gradually get better, if you don't speak you won't get better. Did you not see this guy taking his Polish test? He is funny and he isn't even swearing. I don't think he is a fool though, he seems like a nice guy who can take a joke and he is trying to learn Polish, if he doesn't give up he will succeed.

No, don't give up, don't be disheartened. Is this your first language that you really want to be able to speak properly? It is my first language that I am trying to learn properly, learning a language is a huge task, how huge I have yet to find out, I just don't know how much time it will take but I don't mind because I like it for now so I will continue. You should continue also if you like it too.

I think that if you are going to speak any foreign language embarrassing yourself is a given. I suppose it is a good way to develop a thick skin and learn to laugh at yourself.

It is only now as I learn more that I realise how bad I was at the start, at the time I didn't feel embarrassed saying the things I did, I was quiet proud of myself, now I cringe with embarrassement thinking back on it.

Can you ask to switch to ty form? Or is that rude?

No you should stick to the 3rd person. You can ask your friends to use ty with you or they can ask you but not with people that you don't know generally. There are rules for this somewhere, you can address a person younger than you as ty etc. I don't fully understand it yet.

Just this one note

No you are right, thanks for the correction, I used the wrong ending on mogłab...........

Thanks

My own errors are shocking, I have embarrassed myself so much that I don't want to see some of the people that I spoke to again, I won't even repeat them here.

A mild mistake of mine is saying nóżki instead of nożyczki

...dzien dobry, moze ty mozesz pomoc? ja chce isc na pociag do krakow. substitute pociag for pajak....at least i made her day,she couldnt stop laughing.

Dzień dobry Pani, mogłabyś mi pomóc? Chcę jechać pociągiem do Krakowa.

You should try to use Pan and Pani sometimes as it is more polite. This is my effort at what you wanted to say but a Polish speaker may want to rephrase it, change around all the words etc. so that it sounds better or delete it completely :-)

Bara bara means to have sex.

That's a terrible song!

Life / Why is circumcision not practiced in Poland? [701]

Why is circumcision not practiced in Poland?
If it is not broken don't fix it would be my smart answer.

If a kids father isn't circumcised and the son is, one of them might end up with a complex!

Language / What were the first Polish words and phrases you have learned? [63]

"What were the first Polish words and phrases you have learned?"

I can't really remember, a bit of everything. Swear words definitely, sto, beton, betoniarka, chodź, czekaj, dzień dobry, dobry wieczór and na razie would have been some of the first also.

Hey, look at this eyes! Awesome:)

Yes the Iranian women are gorgeous, very nice eyes also. The basshunter girl in the video is very nice also, she is half Iranian.

Aishwarya Rai from India is very nice also and funny.

Some Estonians I think:

Where are the videos and pics of the Polish women to rival the rest of the world?

The sad thing is, that in Ireland it goes down hill big time from here.

And it doesn't elsewhere? These women are super angry too.



I don't know what is going on here but I feel bad for the old woman, she shouldn't get so angry no matter what is going on.



Lucie Jones is cute.
