Life / Things that annoy you in Poland. [114]

How about charging for the loo in a restaurant when you already spent a substantial amount of money.

now that's annoying :)

That is annoying but it's not in Poland only - they do the same in Belgium ;)

Love / Polish Pet Names For Girls. [156]

Krzysztof:
normally "motylek" in Nominative and "motylku" in Vocative (so when you're saying it to somebody you use "motylku" when saying about somebody you use "motylek"), and it's a masculine gender noun, so it might be a little confusing when used about/to a girl :)

K is right, however even though the word is of masculine gender you may use without problem as a pet name for a girl.

Life / 3 reasons why you hate Poland. [1049]

if you are in a car accident, ore having housebreaking, etc you dont have any insurance that pays ore covers for your costs ore loosings. if you are in a car accicent u usally deal with it btw the persons involved,

where did you get this rubbish from?
This was true maybe 20 years ago but not today.
And if you've never lived in PL how come you have so many reasons to hate it - you should avoid talking about things that you have no idea about, it is not credible.

You should change your name Kasia - go by Kate.....or is your Polish name the only thing that you like about PL and PL people?

Life / 3 reasons why you hate Poland. [1049]

None of the above are exclusively Polish traits.

God bless you OsiedleRuda.
You are one of very few people on this forum that understand that...

after all you should be open to some critics, ore you shouldn't read it at all.

Critics are fine but not such rubbish like you've said about insurance in PL. Car insurance is mandatory in PL my dear. Also, you can get any kind of house insurance if you wish. If you don't know how to get it it's not Poland's fault but yours....

living abroad mostly of the time,

in your previous post you said you lived abroad all your live so make up your mind.

Life / 3 reasons why you hate Poland. [1049]

1. Some Poles will not work on a Sunday, not even mow the lawn. Because that's work.

some Poles won't work on a Sunday because in our culture it is considered a holy day, therefore one should not do any kind of work, including mowing the lawn.

Language / Polish was chosen the HARDEST LANGUAGE in the world to learn... :D [1558]

Then please don't come to France, here people don't even try to imitate the accent (i'm generalising a bit but i know i'm right).

'You are a beautiful girl' -> (with a strong French accent) You aRR uh byouTifool guh-RRl
Nice.

hahahahahaha - you are so right Polson.
Do you know how long it took me to realise that when they said Rishar Shamberlen they actually meant Richard Chamberlain!?

No, Arthur Neville Chamberlain (WW2).

hahahahahaha OK, that makes sense.

'Steven GeRaRR' for Steven GerarD, no 'd' in the French pronunciation.

why is it that in French language d or t at the end of a word isn't pronounced? Why is it there in the first place, I mean why do you write it if you don't pronounce it?

Before that time, French spelling was very easy.

it's definitely very difficult today! Why don't you go back to the old, good times of easy French spelling. That would save me a lot of time when I write e-mails to my French-speaking friends :)

My French version's been deleted - have to write in English.
It's as simple as that Ced but, unfortunatelly, many who post here don't understand, or don't want to understand that.

Love / How do Polish boys feel about foreign girls? [163]

Just wondering. Is it common for Polish boys to go outside of his culture to date?

It's not very common but it does happen.
I think it's more common for PL girls to date non-polish guys than for PL guys to date non-polish girls.

Love / How do Polish boys feel about foreign girls? [163]

Yes,polish guys who date foreign girls do so because they cannot find a polish girl since foreigners take them.The reason polish girls date foreign men is because they assume foreign men have more money than polish men.

thank you so much southern, next time I date a foreign man I will know why I'm dating him....

Language / Nice Polish phrases to say to men [76]

As mira said, you can call him Skarbie, Kochanie, Słońce, Słonko. You can also go with English affectionate words, I'm sure he'll love that as well!

Good luck with your PL bf and if you have any questions turn to us, PL girls, and ignore the other guys!
