No, I didn`t, I thought you were talking neutral for a while. But now I know you stick to your rightard point of view all the time. :):)

As usual, you are wrong. :) I have been working for 30 years now and am still lasting. :)

News / Presidential elections 2020 - your opinions about campaign, candidates [2222]


You are very inconsistent. On the previous page you commented very positively about young people who desire to become PiS politicians with a spectacular career.


Yes, we know it. That`s enough to include you in the list of PiS supporters. The same with Iron.

haha I see it pisssed you off. No need for overreacting, really. Calm down, I didn`t want to hurt you.

Howeverm you could still present your opinion on elections in May. Do you have any at all?

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

I meant British English used in former British colonies. E.g., I spent a lot of time in Bangladesh.

I just read a know saying - sb commented on PiS` rule in Poland: and the last one puts/will put the lights out..

News / Presidential elections 2020 - your opinions about campaign, candidates [2222]

Hey, guys, who openly support PiS and their candidate here: Spike, dolnośląsk, antheads, NotoForeigners, Ironside, gumishu, kondzior.
What do you think about PiS` firm plans to run the election on 10 May? Do you agree it is a good move not to cancel it? Are you going to vote?

In free Poland: Should PiS be sued for endangering people`s health and life?

I am not British but I have known the word and used it sometimes. It is the same as caper around,
Flaunt is often used as an adjective - flaunting - impressive.


But you do realise that when you only stand, run or walk on the beach, you are a very narrow-minded and boring person. Like an accountant doing the tedious calculations. hahaha


That`s what you do here: flaunt your poise and make lots of noise. hahahaha

Language / Cultural disparities shown through Polish and English languages [195]

Another disparity with dogs.

In English:you can`t teach an old dog new tricks. In Polish: you shouldn`t move/replant old trees.

Why so? Coz Poland abounded in forests while England had to import wood, also from Poland?

Missed, again. You should know it very well that I indoctrinate in complete opposition to the current government`s ideology. hahaha

Teacher`s duty is to constantly perfect his/her skills. I do it in the PF. I combine fun with practicality.

Yes, I know, I wrote it mainly to practice English. Your person is completely irrelevant here. :)


Ha! Bad advice, as usual. Park proximity causes the invasion of rodents which move to nearby buildings before winter.


Silly comment again. I earned enough to buy one in clean Poland. hahaha

Off-Topic / English teachers - 'functioning alcoholics with a superiority complex' [54]

There were two reasons, dolno.

Firstly, I returned to Poland coz I have always been so patriotic. I didn`t want to waste my genius in a foreign country and work all my life to make aliens feel good - I decided to use it for the good of my own country and my compatriots. I felt they needed me so much. Yes, it was me who invented the slogan MAKE POLAND GREAT AGAIN. Trump perfectly copied me.

Another reason, even more important, was total disappointment with the USA. After I found a few giant bugs in the kitchen in my NYC apartment, I realised I need to run away from the country where even cockroaches are the biggest in thw world. The fact they could so easily wander all over the building just put me off. That was madness - I wasn`t able to feel free in my own home! Can you believe it?

It was the the first time in the USA I saw those glue traps in my life. I had to use them, too. I will never forget that scene - a glue trap in the cupboard under the sink, and the giant bug in it, as long and wide as my finger, helplessly trying to crawl away. YUUUCK!

No, it wasn`t for me. Thank you very much.

Do you use what you have learnt about Polish in practice? In real life situations?

Language / Short Polish<->English translations [1049]

Room - pokój
Peace - pokój.

A funny collocation from the home mass service: Przekażcie sobie znak pokoju w pokoju. Offer each other the sign of peace (in the room)."

History / Why could some Czechs dislike Poles/Poland? [46]

Cieszyn city which lies on two sides of the Czech-Polish border has been divided again. Due to the virus threat, citizens living in two parts can`t visit each other. Poles put a banner: I miss you, Czech.

Czechs replied with a similar banner: I miss you, Pole.

Atch it sounds like baby talk and a bit comical to Polish ears.

Yes, but it is very positive fun. Who isn`t moved when they hear baby talk?

History / Modern myths and legends about communist past in Poland [250]


You repeated it a few times recently and it struck me which Poland you are talking about.

Are you talking about communist Poland which ended in 1989? It is only 31 years so yes, it is possible you remember it with affection. :):)

Another Poland you could remember as it was and no longer is ended in 1939. 2020 minus 1939 equals 81 years. Also, we need to add a few years so that you could be old enough to have conscious recollections from your life. Let`s say about 10 years. So, it means you must have been born around 1930. That means you must be 90 years old today.

No, come on, you are much younger. :)

So, which ideal Poland from your memories do you dream about today?

Off-Topic / Stock Market and Trading Talk [1011]


Good!


Sorry, I used a mental shortcut on you and hence the misunderstanding. I didn`t say you should buy today or tomorrow. I meant you should wait for real bottoms and then invest.


Thanks, that was interesting to read about DT. However, what if the share price remains flat at around 18 for a longer time, like even years? I read somewhere DT was planning to cut their dividends to shareholders, that might be a little cold shower for them.

Rather not coz now you aretalking about the English translation while the original Polish proverb is shorter. Do you remember it? :):)

See two posts above.

Language / Instrumental case in the Polish language. Am I understanding it right? [68]


Wow, that`s right!:
matura - maturze
bzdura - bzdurze.

Matura to bzdura.

Language / Instrumental case in the Polish language. Am I understanding it right? [68]


hahaha Yes, they sometimes forget how to decline but only until the age of about 7-9. After that they become quite proficient.


hahaha How should I know? I don`t teach Polish but English.

But...... let me think. Well, other words which end with -or also decline like that in locative case:

lokator - lokatorze
murator - muratorze
kombinator - kombinatorze

There must be a rule concerning it.

Language / Cultural disparities shown through Polish and English languages [195]

Another cultural disparity:

English proverb: let sleeping dogs lie vs Polish proverb: Do not call the wolf out of the forest.

It perfectly shows the wildlife situation in both countries : the last wolf of Great Britain was killed in 1680.

In Poland, wolves used to be very common animals. Still are in some areas even today.

Real Estate / Building a house in Poland need advice from anyone that has built [100]


Single floor means ground floor?

If the local spatial development plan allows only bungalow type of buildings to be built in the area, you can`t build anything taller.

Language / Instrumental case in the Polish language. Am I understanding it right? [68]


Oh, now I see what you meant.

So, your Polish declination in instrumental case is OK. That był/byli/było written with capital letters misled me a little coz I thought they were full seperate sentences.

Some spelling mistakes:


długim


zwierzęciem

Language / Instrumental case in the Polish language. Am I understanding it right? [68]

Unfortunately, most of those are incorrect or sound strange.

E.g,


No, it should be: To był dobry dzień.
Your version would sound good if it contained additional info: Poniedziałek był dobrym dniem......

It is still illegal, and I haven`t heard of any recent demands to legalise it. Everybody has adapted to the situation. Good.
