Life / Polish Nursery Rhymes [253]

For me it seems more like a chant connected with cooking:
Maybe it is "kaszę baba gotowała" what could be translated: a woman cooked grits (buckwheat, barley, or a semolina)

Language / Game - guess Polish idioms/sayings in direct English translation [1756]

This is an expert level - you won't guess it ;)
I know this, because I'm native, although I can't see this saying have much direct connotation...

Study / Polish language school, Sopot. Opinions? [2]

You may check some reviews from here:

Keep in mind that the negative opinions may be deleted, so the whole picture can be not clear...

UK, Ireland / Posting mail from Poland to the UK [26]


It should teach you this first time not to use their "services". Buy from the common known shops/portals only.
BTW which website/company?

Law / Buying from Allegro using PayU or Paypal and paying for item [18]

Maybe we could help you with "somethings"? When you tried somethings what happened?
Try explain slowly, preferably step by step, what you did and what's your problem exactly.

Ania
I'm sending to you a photograph from my wedding. As a souvenir for (from?) your friend Piotr.

I'm not 100% sure the second sentence, although something like that.

This is most likely this:


youtube.com/watch?v=hMKneLz2OmU
I found only this version with sung words ;)

Basically it's one of Polish versions of the song from Carmen opera:
youtu.be/CoV2YOjFowY?t=139

Language / Polish gravestone translation [45]

PROSI O ZDROWAS MARIA - asks for the prayer (zdrowas mario prayer)


And it is interesting because ofiara means an victim in Polish, syna Bolesława = son of Bolesław (the name)
So I'm not sure what could that mean exactly... A victim of Boleslaw's son? Strange. Maybe somebody have a different opinion about this.

Language / Polish slang phrases - most popular. [606]

This is from Russian and has completely different meaning. But you're a troll.

Law / How do I verify a Polish company's existence? [240]

The 00-001 is a Warsaw postcode - so it may be valid:
pocztowekody.pl/index/index/zipcode/00-001
Oh, this is the website of this company, and judging from no Polish version, or how they wrote the Jagiellonska Street, they are rather not Polish. alstroz.eu/contact.html

It's hard to determine their genuity basing on that (looks a bit weird imo)

Genealogy / What does my Polish name mean? [401]

There's also a coat of arms Orla, which includes this surname.
genealogia.okiem.pl/glossary/glossary.php?word=orla
I don't know if there's a particular region of Poland where this name is more popular. It seems it's very rare though..

Genealogy / What does my Polish name mean? [401]


Many Polish towns with this name too.

Genealogy / What does my Polish name mean? [401]


In Polish it could be WŁADYSŁAW

Language / Short Polish<->English translations [1040]

Regarding the "Uj" - I think it's just Oj, or Ojej in Polish - Gee in English.

Law / HELP: ALLEGRO... Do most Polish buyers at allegro.pl use PayPal? [33]

So it seems like a mistake of this seller, try to contact him again and he should correct the amount for the extra charge at Allegro.

Language / Short Polish<->English translations [1040]

What do you want to translate? Do you have a good scan of this manifest?

Life / Proper way to format a Polish mailing address when sending to Poland? [23]

Yes, the Sz.P. before name is commonly used in Poland

Language / Short Polish<->English translations [1040]


If I should be guessing, that would be Cichowicz.



z Jurkowskich / z Rutkowskich means from Jurkowski/Rutkowski family
2) maybe Cichowicz Marzenna / surname in the 2nd column Jankowski
6) not Miłosz, I see Wacław more
10) like Cichowicz (?) Józef, Zygmunt

Life / Polish home remedies for cold, stomach ache, migraine? [49]

Maybe you mean this (Polish name Skorzonera - Wężymord czarny korzeń)
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scorzonera_hispanica

To get only on some ECO shops or online.
allegro.pl/listing?string=Skorzonera

Real Estate / Use the evicted clause to terminate the contract in Poland [3]

It depends from the landlord only if he choose to terminate this contract when you stop paying, and your debt will be growing in time.

Language / Short Polish<->English translations [1040]

I see different names on this document. Mr Szymanski - groom, and Maryanna Izbicka (?), family name Maciszewska - bride.
There are also different names too (another couple?), but no Danilowicz or Krusinska, as far as I can see.

Australia / Mail problem- Poland to Australia, delivery time frame [40]

Yes, note that the 'expres' word has only one "s" ;)

Australia / Mail problem- Poland to Australia, delivery time frame [40]

monitoring.poczta-polska.pl/?numer=00259007738242077195

It was held by customs for control first but six days ago it left Poland.
Sent via 'Global Expres' and it means it will reach destination after 22 business days since it was sent to Australia.

Genealogy / Want to find a person [762]


Those are EU's rules not Poland's. Look what happen now when the RODO is in force...

Genealogy / Looking for Family from Poland - Gordzielewski & Nyckowska [7]

Gardzielewski surname is more common in Poland, I know one personally ;)

Language / Short Polish<->English translations [1040]


I don't think it's from Paluch.

Life / Anything like netflix in Poland? [27]

There's already a Polish version of Netflix - nflix.pl
Unfortunately for you - the majority of content is a foreign production. The list of titles from Poland: nflix.pl/netflix-polska-lista-wszystkich-dostepnych-tytulow/?o=pl_produkcje
I can recommend you check this site cda.pl/video/show/polskie_filmy_online/p1 - the link to Polish movies - as far I know you can watch it outside of Poland.

Here you must have an VIP account to watch: zalukaj.com/gatunek,24/ostatnio-ogladane,wszystkie,strona-1
There are also ipla.pl, player.pl, vod.pl and vod.tvp.pl - a lot of content is premium and also without Polish IP not available.

I'm living in Poland, so can't check for sure - but it's worth to try all above.

Language / Short Polish<->English translations [1040]

Przybisz - no such word in Polish, maybe przybysz?

Life / Babcia or Busha - any social class difference? [359]
