Language / The most important phrases when traveling to Poland [24]

i found "bredzisz, jakby cię fura z gnojem przejechała" very useful on my last trip

Here is how you use it.

Ile to kosztuje?............................................................. ......(How much is it?)

Panie, tu wszyscy w kolejce stoja!.............(Hey mister, you need to get back and stand in line like the rest of us!)

bredzisz, jakby cię fura z gnojem przejechała! No ile to kosztuje?....(Shut up you!, so how much is it?)

Food / Do you call it kiszka or kaszanka? [55]

That's a soup, isn't it, mate?

call me shipmate next time.

it's krupniok, good stuff, blood sausage... We all know that the British have a penchant for the disgusting and bizarre foods as well. In GB it's called the puddings. Stop being ignorant mate.

USA, Canada / To move back to Poland from the USA or not to move back....that is the question [119]

Does it really booste your ego to continusly put Poland down?

Sometimes i just speak what's on my mind. I didn't mean to sound like I'm putting down Poland, it's the country of my ancestors and i understand that some people still have to live there. Please accept my apologies sean.

He needs to feel that he's not just another failure who works his 40 hours a week in the local "Polski Sklep"

dope, how do you come up with this crap LMAO

Life / Do you think that Polish people are rude? [951]

greet random people you meet on the streets in the US

I guess, it really depends where you live, but mostly yes, everyone does it here to some extend.
When someone looks at me and I notice it, I would look back at them and say Hi or something. That is widely accepted “custom” by everyone in a community, at school, work etc.

…Just a simple way of politely acknowledging the other person.
I can tell you didn’t grow up here.

Edit:

But don't do it the "polish way" like you wanna start a conversation or something... That's strange.

well it's kind of hard to explain... don't do it if you don't know how... whatever. forgetit.

Life / Do you think that Polish people are rude? [951]

While visiting Poland after many years i was greeting everyone who was looking at me with a friendly "Hi, what's up"... My family explained that i needed to stop doing that immediately because i could get punch in a face by someone less tolerant. Well, i thought that was totally rude of them! bunch of fucktards :(

Off-Topic / Being a Slav: a blessing or a curse? [199]

Wow, I feel some excitement :) How thick is a British pencil? ;) I think British brought more into science than all Slavs combined did, though about resorcefulness and physical power on average, I wouldn't argue you, Ukrainian door handle arm :)

I'm just messing with you, lol I wanted to see what your agenda is with thread. Stop pretending, you don't like some Polish on this forum and that’s all this is about.

Btw your subject is racist in nature.

Off-Topic / Being a Slav: a blessing or a curse? [199]

If this group is unique in some features from the rest of homo sapiens, what are these features?

Great majority of Slavic people are cleverer, way more resourceful and physically stronger than their Anglo-Saxon cousins. I hope this answers your question you British pencil neck.

USA, Canada / How long will a package take to mail from Poland to USA by sea? [21]

If she used certified airmail it will take 1 to 3 weeks max depending on the time of the year. ex. holidays, etc. If you don't receive your package in 1 month most likely it was lost or held up for some crazy reason. Make sure she wasn't tiring to send any liquids in it.

Generally it’s illegal to send any kind of food to the US via personal mail form overseas. It’s very restricted but of course there are some exceptions.

It really depends on how your GF labeled her "shipment". For instance “food” is a bad word. So if someone at US customs caught it they probably dumped it in garbage. Sorry dude.

btw Why do feel it's necessary to explain yourself to those idiots?

USA, Canada / To move back to Poland from the USA or not to move back....that is the question [119]

The Poland". I love it when poles say "The Poland

Because there are many other Poland's harbored in our Polish harts...
My aunt was born here and recently she decided to "move" to Poland as well. Hopefully she didn't get the idea on PF. the whole thing didn't last too long anyways.

She got into some kind of family feud over the rights to purchase an apartment... The story didn't make much sense, maybe because she was really upset and crying when I was talking to her. Basically she told me that our family shunned her for taking sides on the issue and now some of them are consistently gossiping behind her back causing her more grief. What she was describing sounded like some crappy soap opera episode, but anyways, in her monologue she concluded that she can no longer live there. I was like, WTF was that all about?

Rysiek, there are a lot of differences that you're not prepared for. Just one trip over there is not going to be sufficient to understand it all.

Keep in mind that people in Poland are deeply depend on their family and close friend networks. That's the way of life there. It's very hard to exist in Poland without those close connections.

Don't get "stuck" in Poland because it may be very difficult for you to come back here in case when you can't fit in.

There is also this other thing.

If you're looking for a piece of as$ in Poland, err, female companionship 4life and such then you should just said so.
I'm a guy, you're a guy and we all know that "felt that I belong in Poland" is bunch of crap.

Btw my uncle just passed away so her moving to Poland had yet other underlining motive other than the feeling of belonging.

Life / Weird names Polish parents give to their kids [43]

An interesting point, so do you think those parents should have their kids back and everyone should go about their business as usual?

Would you want your kids to go to school with little Adolph and Aryan knowing they were being raised by those two?

Life / Weird names Polish parents give to their kids [43]

maybe its the best place for them,maybe their parents just need a bit of "guidence"

I think that's the whole point. They’re irresponsible and potentially damaging to their kids. We don't need people like that raising our new generation.

As a kid, can you imagine going through life named after dictator and mass murderer? The line has to be drawn.

History / Tuchola in Poland - roots of Katyn? [220]

By a rough count 3 million of Russians were killed by their own government back than. Written by a Russian researcher. I'm not saying two negatives make a positive but I think you should put the evil deeds in to a perspective. Think about the mentality of people who been there and lived it. Don't repeat it.

USA, Canada / The proper behavior an American should show when visiting Poland [115]

behavior an American should show when visiting Poland.

The proper behavior is to act natural, watch your belongings at all times, don't venture to places that look unsafe.

Most people will notice right away that you're an American because of your clothing, general looks and how you talk… (In a similar way how you can tell who is from NYC, LA or down South.)

Poland is a blend of mainly German and Russian cultures with a pinch of Italian and of course more recently the American "culture", but I don't know for sure if there is such thing as an American culture per se..
