Language / Translation of the word "małpka" into English [10]


Well, some guys can swallow such a 100 ml bottle in one nip. :):)


Not bad, but they are mostly made of metal.

Is the rental rate fixed in your contract so that it can`t go up for years?

Life / Why oh Why do Poles drive so incredibly poorly [100]


Exacty. In Poland, when I drive in a big city, I always look at plates. When I see foreign ones, I know I have to be double wary on the road.

Hmm, so you suggest that a mini bottle can`t be called a nip? :):)

Life / Why oh Why do Poles drive so incredibly poorly [100]


Stupid remark. One should drive more slowly in bad weather conditions. When you coz an accident due to high speed, only you will be to blame.


That means you are too temperamental for driving. Such frequent hysteria on the road will finish you off in a few years` time. I suggest you use public transport instead. :))

Life / Polish Nursery Rhymes [253]


Yes, from time to time it is active. Especially when the great bell rings. It happened just yesterday, so you are lucky.


- Kizia - Mizia,
gdzieś ty była?
- W komóreczce, na miseczce
mleczko piłam.
- A mnie nic nie zostawiłaś?
A ty! A ty! A ty!

It is a counting out rhyme.

Yes, but remember that małpa means both monkey and ape.


Easy.

Language / What is your biggest problem with Polish language? [158]

I still have a better one:

czule - tenderly, warmly.
ciule - azzholes
Witam Was ciule/czule!
I welcome you warmly/azzholes!


Should be trzecia. hahaha

Not really. Before they arrive at the controvercial decision to take out nuclear plants, Raptors will be gone.

History / Polish Food Stamps of the Communist Era [13]


These were extra coupons for items which the authorities were able to supply in larger quantities in certain months. The info about the sort of additional goods was published in newspapers.

That legend was told all over Poland. :) One time it was a stork, another a swan. :):)

Life / Are Poles flashy? [11]


It is natural. They adapt the size of their cars to environment/surroundings. The Netherlands is smaller than Poland but more densely populated.

414 people per 1 sk.

In Poland - only 123.

I know a different saying: The German was crying when he sold his car.

News / Modern F-35 bought by Poland. Good decision? [288]


Russians are proud of their excellent ground to air missile systems, of all kinds of ranges. Before Raptors do some real damage, they will be long gone. We would need hundreds of them to break through Russian defences. What can you do with 32 planes?

Language / What is your biggest problem with Polish language? [158]

I have a good one - very similar sounds.

e.g,

News / Modern F-35 bought by Poland. Good decision? [288]


I still can`t forget the September campaign 1939. Polish air force fought hard and resisted German superiority gallantly but after two weeks they ran ouf of planes and supplies. Pilots had to fight in ground units and then they evacuated to France and the UK.

Who is going to supply new Raptors to Poland after our planes are shot down or seriously damaged during the campaign of 2029? It would be better to have more F-16s so that they could last longer and then providing new ones would be easier coz it is a popular plane in the world. E.g, the USA has over 900. South Korea has 150 F-16. How about a little emergency trade?

News / Dodgy PRL-holdover judiciary finally reformed [420]


It is too late for you. You have already been corrupted by communists. Probably your kids will fare better but you need to clean your local schools of all post communists first. :):)

News / How Poland bought German Airline Condor and might lose massive from it [34]

Experts are in two minds about the purchase. Some claim it will be a failure. Others suppose it might come off if handled cleverly.


They won`t do it coz it will entail reciprocal hostile moves against Lufthansa in Poland. Do you think they will risk it? PIS government surely won`t watch it without taking action. :):)

Love / How do guys from Poland flirt? [47]


I thought it was the opposite. I imagined women look for a real man expecting him to take care of them and their kids in a responsible way.

If a woman desires to nurture a guy, he should be a bit immature and flippant. It is contrary to being a real man.

It seems it is difficult to guess what women expect. :))

Language / What is your biggest problem with Polish language? [158]


I am sorry, I didn`t intend to offend you. Forgive me, please. :)


It is easier to pronounce than Suchą szosą Sasza szedł. I don`t know why but your tongue twister can`t be uttered too quickly if you want to keep clear exact articulation of sounds. The Polish one can be read quickly without damaging articulation.

Language / Polish vs English tongue twisters [45]

Talking about Polish tongue twisters, I forgot to mention that English ones pose absolutely no problem to me. Your first one contains [θ] and [ð] sounds which are easy for me to pronounce. The other one of yours is a piece of cake. Aren`t there more difficult ones, really? :))

That`s my private opinion, others might have a problem though.
