Life / Do you think that Polish people are rude? [951]


Charming, a well thought out response- on the author has mulled on for some time.


Again, the way to address stranger's is in Polish in the third person- to Anglo-Saxon's this seems excessively polite but if this is the way one has been taught it is normal- it would be rude if one says "you" if one does not have their permission, especially to the older generation.

Silly me, I put the apostrophe in the wrong place- apologies- to correct this I rewrite:
Anglo-Saxons' and strangers'.
Now, please explain your well thought out, deep and meaningful bunch of swear words to me.

Yes- although I'm not sure this is the correct way to express it in English.

I don't know- Roz has kindly pointed out to me it is considered in the second person in English when addressing strangers in Polish.

I have never heard of the third person being used to address servants- it sounds derogatory towards the servants-I doubt Poles would say this- simply as it is not polite.


Thank-You King Sobieski for verifying what I assumed was correct.

Yes that us right-as well as to strangers and the elderly as I outlined in my other posts.

Although I don't know if it applies to servants..
