Language / Polish was chosen the HARDEST LANGUAGE in the world to learn... :D [1558]

Yep that is easy. Exept:
Ę - another oh sound
Sz - another sh sound
Cz - another ch sound

And few other. :-)

Prosię bardzo!

History / My wonderful boyfriend returned to Poland. Any famous Pole that visits Africa? [26]

Wacław Korabiewicz for instance.
He traveled Africa mostly on his foots or hitchhicking.
He once sid: One wouldn't believe how small the world is and how people are similar to each other unless one would travel it by foot.

Africa is a big land. What part of this land do you mean?

Language / Anglos don't distinguish kasza from Kasia? [22]

Thats soooo funny!
Just imagine this: "Prosię postawić szę na moim miejscu" :-D

("proszę" - please; "prosię" - a little, young pig)

Language / Funny/strange/deviant words in the Polish language [35]

Fart - sudden struck of luck. Like when you avoid car accident by inches.
Then you fart.

Language / Can accidentally using the wrong gender form cause offence? [26]


Or when talking to servants (Niech Marysia przyniesie) - that form was used when addressing people who dosn't deserve such formalities as "Pan, Pani". 3rd person is dodgy.

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


Not really - in the word "dzięcioł" there is nothing about head or banging. :-)
Dzięcioł is dzięcioł. You can spot it in the middle of the city. Nothing special about it. Photos of birds like "głuszec" or "dudek" - that would be something!

By the way - photos of "deer" you can see in this thread are more like "sarna". Sarna is quite common. Big rabbit on the long legs. ;-) I remember that bunch of sarna on the main square of my hometown were common issue in the summer time. From time to time we've got a families (around 10 pct) standing in the middle of the road blocking the traffic. (that's was funny. They pretended to "not give a damn" to the city environment, and ignored any attempt to remove them from the road. Wild boar were worse - they can be pretty aggressive.) Anyway - "deer" is a "jeleń" in Polish. Much bigger and more decent species.

I don't understand what kind of information you expected? This is common "dzięcioł". Nothing special about this bird.

For me this is the best of Poland - Brda river and Bory Tucholskie. For some reason wild animals doesn't care about the river, so if you are quiet you are able to see a lot more.

I recommend this river to anyone, who loves wildlife.

Language / IS "MURZYN" word RACIST? [686]

PC evolution:

Negro - perfectly neutral word branded as racist and replaced by:
Nigger -perfectly neutral word branded as racist and replaced by:
Black -perfectly neutral word branded as racist and replaced by:
Afroamerican (Afrobritish, afrocaraibbean) - considered by some ppl as racist.

UN resolution states that "there is only one race - human race". Therefore any attempt do describe any group of people as being part of some race is racist by definition. Any word that distinguish one group from another is by definition racist. :-)

Food / Confusion over flour names in Poland [46]

baking powder = proszek do pieczenia. You can buy it all the grocery shops, no need to trouble Kuchnie świata ;-)
