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


Well, it means Poland is such a big country that, living in one part, I haven`t had a chance to get to know some phrases from other parts. :)


Yes, those medals are quite unnecessary here. It is obvious they are on one`s chest but still they complicate the message.

I just read another title with this:

Oops, you are right, I should have translated it as : ratiadors and jank. I am really sorry.

That is a perfect double standard, then.


No, that is a gross misinterpretation, of course.

That is a piece from an operetta Love manouvers

Pójdź, pójdź, kotku biały
I całusa daj
Taki buziak mały
To największy raj

Come, come white pussy
and give me a kiss
Such a little buss
is amazing paradise

Wysiadły literally means are out/gone.
the radiators aren`t working. 11 pieces. Junk.

But you know that ladies` boxers tend to escalate violence. You start from slapping and then end up beating her unconscious. it is especailly important with you who can`t control yourself. That stuff you smoke eats your brain out and you cease to think rationally.

That is why one day you might even kill her in a fit.

Ha! Such a wife beater is called ladies` boxer in Polish. If you do it in real life, you are svoloch. Even if you don`t do it but only support it publicly, you are svoloch, too. .

History / Cursed soldiers controvercy - not all Poles respect them [320]


Yes, I do. And - what is your logic??
Ukrainians killed 100.000 poles, Poles killed 20.000 Ukrainians in retaliation. What does it change? Do you mean that Poles don`t have to condemn their killings because there were ONLY 20.000 of them??


Hahaha What makes you think so?


Why do you think so???


No, neither he nor I will shut up. You know it well so why are you whining all the time? Fighting maniacal rightards and their double standard thinking is our duty of Polish patriots and moral people. Simple.

Both you and Dirk think and behave like Ukrainian nationalists from UPA and OUN - you have fekking murderous characters. Svoloche and sobaki - that`s what you are.

History / Cursed soldiers controvercy - not all Poles respect them [320]


Yes, correct.
If we condemn Ukrainian nationalists` slaughter of Polish villagers in Volhynia region from 1943 and all Poles are united in this matter, it is obvious we have to condemn Polish killings, too. We can try to understand them as self-defence and retaliation against genocidal murderers but we can`t accept them morally.

If we don`t condemn, then we sin with double standard thinking.

I just read a Polish idiom I had never seen/heard before:
to keep your cards next to your medals.

Is it a copy from English?

Genealogy / Polish Romani (gypsy) surnames [64]

Marek Kuczyński, once a known anarchist in 1980s and 90s. He certainly wasn`t Roma.

Genealogy / Popular non-Poles of Polish descent [17]


Yes, I know it now.

I wonder why her Polish origin wasn`t revealed when she became known also in Poland. I only remember a scandal with the cover of one of her albums - she posed naked behind an instrument. I didn`t see it, only read the description and her comment in which she said that such controvercy was neccessary to promote her music and added that whoever wanted to sell anything successfully, needed to use female nudity in ads. Sad.

News / Poland adds Latin to core curriculum to help pupils understand foundation of Western civilisation [13]


Yes, I read experts` comments on the idea and indeed, though they acclaim it as a good concept, they are very sceptical about the practical side of it. They say it will remain on paper in fact.

Yes, I suppose it should work.

It all depends on the proportions you use.

History / "Poland Syndrome" should be renamed [45]

Also, I suppose the English language speakers should drop using the verb/noun "polish."

Firstly, I am sick and tired of seeing/hearing language courses for foreigners ads with that cliche phrase: Polish your Polish. It is so silly.

Next, when I see boxes/packets with shoe polish, I also feel disgusted. The linguistic establishment could and should come up with a different term.

Enough of that centuries-long hostility to Poland!!!

Yes, exactly. As a foreigner, he wasn`t aware of it. Now he knows, thanks to two Polish English teachers. hahahaha


Yes, also the martial law was done by Polish communists.

Of course. The communist terror lasted although it wasn`t as intense as before 1956 and after that date it was mostly carried out by Polish communists and their Polish henchmen.

But don`t worry - that period is covered by other museums and exhibitions. E.g., the case of Stanisław Pyjas, murdered on the communist police`s instigation, will be presented in a new exhibition soon. There is a plaque to his memory, too.

The defence of the cross in Nowa Huta or street fights and killing of Bodgan Włosik after the declaration of martial law is covered by the Museum of Nowa Huta.

Well, Pavlokoma happened 2 years after Volhynia Slaughter so we can view it as Polish self-defence and retaliation against murderous Ukrainian nationalists from UPA and OUN.

Among those 80 victims from burnt villages there were a dozen children who died in flames.

Bury, the unit`s commander, is considered a cursed soldier today. However, in the area where he operated, people remember his as a murderer.

History / Cursed soldiers controvercy - not all Poles respect them [320]

Yesterday, Polish Orthodox Church canonized new martyrs, victims of the pacification of a Belarussian village by the AK partisans in 1946.

On January 31, 1946, Bury's militants killed 30 Orthodox carters who were driving to the forest to procure firewood for a local school. After releasing those of the carters who were able to cross oneself like Catholics and say a Polish prayer, the militants hacked the rest to death. Total of five Orthodox Belorussian villages were burnt and at least 80 civilians killed by Bury's unit .....

Life / Is Polish church involved in politics too much? [137]

Yes, the Catholic journalist has just published another text about Kurski`s marriage annulment. He predicts the Church will pay for it. He claims the new wedding, which got the green light from Krakow bishops and was attended by top PiS politicians, has damaged traditional Polish family more than a few years of leftist propaganda about LGBT etc.

He added: joke, hypocrisy and disgrace. This is another brick in the wall. The process of secularisation of Poland has just received a huge stimulus. Young people are already turning away from the faith in droves.
