Warsaw mayor didn't outlaw Ukrainian flags lol Ukrainian flags simply won't be displayed on public buses by the city on everyday basis anymore, that's all.

What about that black kitty? As far as I remember it wouldn't meow? What about now?

Genealogy / Need some feedback direction on names/locations! Makaruk, Savchuk, Lenz, Fenske / Cherdia, Drazna [13]


I think it's most likely that it's the name "Kiril" spelt wrong:

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiril


It's simply "Dmitry" spelt wrong:

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dmitry


At first I thought it's misspelt "Theodosia", but I googled "Feodosia" and it turned out it's a name of a port and resort in Crimea:

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feodosia

Considering that your relatives are Ukrainian, I think there may be some likelihood that they wanted to be original and named her after that town (because their family came from there, for example).

In Polish this town is called "Teodozja":

pl.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teodozja_(miasto)

Also, "Feodosia" is listed as "other names" in Wikipedia note about the name "Theodosia":

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodosia_(given_name)

As for Savchuk - it's a common Ukrainian surname:

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Savchuk

In Polish it's spelled "Sawczuk":

pl.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katarzyna_Sawczuk

When you google it there are people with surnames like "Savchun" or Polish "Sańczuk", but "Savchuk" is the most common, it seems.

Genealogy / Trouble pinpointing for certain the following surnames [9]

@Pleuvoir, check out this thread:

https://polishforums.com/language/ethnic-backround-suffixes-surnames-72736/

"Other typical suffixes of the Ukrainian group are -uk, -czuk (Andrzejuk, Antoniuk, Chilimoniuk, Filipiuk, Grygoruk, Jasiuk, Kononiuk, £ukaszuk, Pawluczuk, Pietruczuk)."


Definitely Ukrainian. There are Poles with surname "Makaruk" (probably with Ukrainian roots), but "Demetry" isn't a Polish name.

Love / How are lesbians seen in Poland (more info inside)? [30]


Portia de Rossi didn't have to be "edgy" to be on TV - she gained popularity by playing a hot heterosexual lawyer on "Ally McBeal" TV series. She came out as a lesbian only after she got into a relationship with Ellen DeGeneres.


She's Czech :)

@Strzelec35, she's 30, so she's too old for you lol


How do you know? And how would you explain those "exceptions" - why do they exist?

And are gay men homosexual, according to you, because they're ugly and women didn't want them? lol

What about bisexual people of both sexes? How do you homophobes explain their existence? :D

History / History of Polish-Russian relations [186]


You mean reconciliation between Poles and Ukrainians?


You mean Ukrainian refugees being sent by Russians to filtration camps, the pro-Ukrainian ones disappearing without a trace and the rest being sent to far away areas of Russia and kept there against their will, allegedly forced to work for free, Ukrainian children being taken away from their parents, put into orphanages and set up for adoption by Russian couples so they could be brainwashed into being Russians? Yes, I'm very concerned about that too. Those are Stalinist and Nazi-like methods.

History / History of Polish-Russian relations [186]


I did - for seven years.

Vlad1234, so what is your ethnicity?


I only mirrored what you wrote yourself (because it can be mirrored perfectly right back at Russia). So what's your problem?

As for "possible reconsiliation"... Now? With a psycho Nazi-like Putinist Russia?? You must be kidding!


Still? Now? I have the opposite impression - that they don't want to have anything to do with anything Russian anymore. And I can't blame them. I used to be a bit of a Russophile in the past. My discussions with Russians on the internet killed that Russophilia in me to a great extent. The annexation of Crimea killed it completely. And now I don't want to have anything to do with anything Russian. Russian culture, which I liked in the past, is simply dead for me now. I used to be a fan of Russian figure skating, but nowadays I'd probably feel like puking when seeing their performances.

History / History of Polish-Russian relations [186]

@Vlad1234, I think that in the last decades and years Russian public thought had blamed all the historic Russian problems on the West, Poles, Ukrainians, Estonians, Latvians, etc. and has demonized Ukrainians (aka "Nazis"), Poles, etc. and Westerners. But ultimately Russians will need to recognize that history was more complicated than that and not only they suffered or were the heroes.

@Vincent, "Dyrdymałki o Niczem 2" is the only thread on PF that I can't open. What does it have to do with slow internet? GefreiterKania and Cojestdocholery wrote in one Polish thread that they can't get into that thread too. GefreiterKania can read it only on a computer at work.

And why do we have to be logged in to read "Dyrdymałki o Niczem 2" in the first place? The Polish section isn't in Off Topic, so what's the reason for that?


Don't be mean, it's enough that we have a border with Russia, life is tough enough as it is :/

But you guys are still writing in "Dyrdymałki o Niczem 2" and I can't read it :/

Life / Is it normal for men to abandon their children in Poland? [26]


I'd say it isn't "normal" as in it isn't socially accepted (although it is considered to be more "normal" than a mother abandoning a child), but it isn't uncommon. My uncle is like that, for example. We found out that he was married before he married my aunt and that he has kids from that previous marriage only after he went to prison for not paying alimonies O_O Even after he left prison he never mentioned his kids with even one word and it doesn't seem like he ever visits them (he has two kids now with my aunt). I don't know how one can completely discard their own children like that, as if they never existed...

But it does happen and I've heard quite a few stories about men abandoning their kids (not only their wife). Single mothers constitute 19.4% of Polish families - it's one of the highest numbers in Europe (higher number is only in Latvia - 29.1%, Lithuania, Estonia and Slovakia).


I've never heard of him, tbh.

@GefreiterKania, ja ostatnio przeglądam PF tylko przy pomocy telefonu i tak się zastanawiałam czy to ma coś z tym wspólnego, czy by nie spróbować przy pomocy innego urządzenia i przeglądarek... Widać jednak będę musiała sprawdzić.

A co jeśli Cię źle uczyli? :) Mnie się zawsze wydawało, że Bóg jest po prostu bezpłciowy, a nadanie mu płci to było takie trochę infantylne ułatwienie dla ludzi, żeby łatwiej im się było odnieść do Jego "osoby".
