Language / I'm native Polish and I hate my own language. [106]

Not merely a few posts, your not one to decide which posts I will reply to

Poles are not capable of logical thinking and you are a good example of it.
I never tried to decide which posts YOU should reply to. I have stated - as an objective fact that is based you your non-reaction to my post - that you ignored it.

Conversations with Poles tend to be tedious...

Language / I'm native Polish and I hate my own language. [106]

everyone knows your among top 3 users of hateful words and hateful writing.

I have a multiple-answer test for you so it should be easy. Here is the question: How do I feel about what others here think about me?

Check one:
1. I don't give a sh*it.
2. I care very much.
Let me know how you scored.

my patience has limits.

You can add: Does Novi care about my patience?

USA, Canada / Moving to Poland from Canada [40]

The number one reason why couples divorce is money. Moving from the US or Canada to Poland is an econ suicide for most people. That is why 3 million Poles are outside Poland. Pretty pictures mean nothing and get old on day 2.

I mentioned Naperville as the city that was repeatedly voted as the best place in the US to raise your family. Not my invention.

To show her, the value of your opinion

I offer her no opinions - only warnings about her upcoming isolation - a very heavy price to pay for the egoist husband's nostalgia for the things that are no longer there. Those 30 years out of Poland cut both ways.

It's the others here that bs about things women don't give a rat's ass about. Tall and shiny buildings, my rear end...

Or maybe they want to get away from this?.

If you want to get away, you get away to Naperville, not Nowa Huta.

"Linguistic geeks" to avoid at all cost at the parties. They will use all their creativity to smuggle into a conversation multisyllabic words normal people don't even know exist. Like a guy with a $50,000 Rolex saying, oh crap! I just scratched my watch! Fifty grand down the tubes...

preposition.

What's that?

And turned to us for advice. That moment, we became her advisors, if not lawyers, and owe her and her alone the information and a look-ahead that would serve as that bucket full of cold water. Let's keep in mind that, to a woman, extended family and friends are everything. Tall buildings are nothing. I am not a woman but I am married to one.

To make things worse for her, her egoist husband will be happily chatting in Polish, watching TV in Polish, and reading papers in Polish while she will be pulling her hair out from frustration. Her kids will continue in English at home but hear Polish everywhere else. A real heaven on earth...

No, I don't want to read any crap about how she can learn Polish fast if she has the right attitude. Save it for Lyzko.

PlantMamaPol, take it from me, a father of two and a grandfather of four, that most posters are not normal like you. They are not married and have no kids or grandkids. If you stick around here long enough, they will be talking about sports teams and civil rights.

When I told my wife about your plans, she just said, No way! PM me if you want to avoid the distractions.

Hello...It's about her! She is the one that will be most affected by the husband's egoism.

Normal people do not use "whom" as they go about their daily lives - even where whom belongs.
You say to a friend "whom did you see" and he will worry about you. If it's on the first date, it will be your last.

So much dynamism and development and wealth over the last 30 years

What the hell does that have to do with a Canadian woman, her Canadian kids, and her isolation from her family and friends.

No family, no friends, foreign country, and the language she does not speak but those shiny tall buildings in Warsaw...Wow!

Yeah, that will cheer her up real good...

Where I live in the Chicago area, we don't have Chinese investors or insane covid policies. Teachers make 130 grand a year (google District 211 in Palatine if you want to see the evidence) and there is no crime.

We nod when appropriate, like our cops, speak English, and life goes on. If you are stupid and want trouble, you go to Chicago and only the thug areas.

To even mention covid or Chinese investors as the reasons to move is insane. Covid will be gone but the effects of changing countries are forever. What you all are doing is ignoring her reasons to hesitate, if not oppose the move. And the kids...What a promotion...from Canada or the US to Poland.

So cut the general crap and concentrate on her and the kids. Nothing else matters.

Taking kids from a grade-A country like Canada to live in a substandard ex-communist one like Poland is child abuse - all done to make daddy happy for a while until he realizes what a terrible mistake he made.

Like I said, his nostalgia is his problem and should not be dumped on his kids. They deserve better.

My position has nothing to do with speaking English or nodding but with permanent damage to the kids by turning them into citizens of a third-rate place like Poland where people pay Western prices for big-ticket items and earn 25% of salaries. Yikes.

Any advice?? Thank you!

DO NOT DO THAT! Stay in Canada!!! If you can't stand it, move to the US. It's like an American moving to Bolivia - a downgrading experience.

Stand your ground and don't budge! Leaving your family and friends will leave you lonely and depressed. The excitement of settling down in a new country where they speak foreign and a hard-to-learn language will last only so long. Six months later, you will be fighting and accusing each other for making this decision.

One more time: DON"T DO THIS! Let him go for three months. Then talk again. He may one day be grateful to you for having the spine to say no.

Nostalgia is good for movies. Dragging you and the kids to a third-rate country for his selfish reasons is inexcusable.

yet you dare to correct native speakers.

Because many of you are lousy writers. I can't play or compose music but I know what dissonance is and detect it when I hear it.

1. Original text: Logikę pewnych ludzi jest trudne do zrozumienia.
2. English translation: Some people's logic is hard to understand.
3. Back to Polish by google: Logika niektórych ludzi jest trudna do zrozumienia

Hey, English professor, see the difference between 1 and 3? An American website speaks better Polish!!! Hahahaha...

Nothing with stupidity. The only thing that's stupid here is rotting in Poland the way you do.
Let me explain how it works. From age 0 till 24, I was 80% in the listen mode. That's what students do. Subtract 18 years as a kid, and you have 6 years of Polish as an adult - still mostly in the listen mode as a student.

Then from 24 till now, my Polish was useful as hulajnoga or a smoczek. So I took mine to the curb and never looked back. My Polish-born and her Polish-born sister did the same thing.

Do you still suck on your smoczek?

Is it finally sinking or not yet?

You always say so when you are at a loss of words. :):)

I try not to waste my words on un-serious and flippant mental farts like yours. It's like trying to nail that proverbial jello to the wall.

You, of course. You are constantly trying to correct native Poles

Because I know Polish enough to detect when you and others here are just showing off your juggling skills and make your posts weirder than necessary to convey the message. In most cases, there is no message, just an empty toy box.

You, Poles, somehow see this as artistic. In reality, it's just annoying pita with no upside to the reader who has to decipher your coded Polish crap aka alegorie.

BTW, the less I know Polish, the prouder I am.

Yes, greatly. :):) But only when I discuss history.

Another flippant comment from the class clown.

The usual American expression is "waiting/standing in line" not 'on line'...

Good catch. This and other such missteps tell me that English is not his daily language.

I have been here since 1967 and never heard "on line" in a store. Not even "Are you standing in line?" because we instinctively avoid sounding like geeky, overly verbose English teachers. The question normal Americans ask is: Are you in here? Only a retard wouldn't know what that question means considering the locations of both the asker and the askee - next to the cash register and close to others and their carts.

Askee. Yes, I just made that word up.

Claiming sarcasm is a handy escape from lies.
Then so was my #44, professor, and every other post you found offensive or irritating. Noticed that "geniuses"? That was sarcasm. In reality, you both are embarrassing. For different reasons, but still embarrassing. Evasive meets Clown.

He just accused Jews of being too stupid to learn Polish in 25 years from birth - in Poland!!! - and to you, it's a nice riposte.

Polish is ugly, doesn't sound good on the songs. All I hear is curses and messy shushing.

I'm native Polish and I hate my own language.

Guys, you need new material.

Only I have the right to be repetitious because my targets don't budge.
