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

Well, let me just say; I've learned more Polish in an evening then I did in 2 years of French Lessons.

Life / Do Polish names generally have a meaning to them or a particular structure?. [88]

Hello everybody! This is my first ever thread, so go easy on me!

Basically, I'm planning on writing a book in years to come and one of the characters happens to have Polish descent. I want to give her a Polish last name but I have no idea! All I need to know is if Polish names generally have a meaning to them or a particular structure. I'll be very grateful for any replies.

That is all!

Do widzenia!!!

Brzęczyszczykiewicz?

Go anything a little bit shorter? :)

"Olszewska" was always my favourite surname.

A lot seem to end in 'ska' or 'ski'. Does the part before that have anything I should know about?

What is the gender and social class of your character?

Female and middle class

I can see that you're a man who doesn't believe in searching the forum for information or gives any thought for a good thread title. There are 93 pages on Polish surnames here

Yeah, Noobs in forums tend to have a knack at missing things like this. Thankyou, very helpful indeed.

I hate the snobs in England. In the country-side near wear I live, there are loads of them. They all have names such as 'Miles' and 'Beatrice'. Bleughgh

Life / Why is circumcision not practiced in Poland? [701]

Seems quite pointless.

Why is it that Poland seems like such a backwards country? It's disgusting that most Polish men are uncircumcised. Medical science has proven the health benefits of circumcision yet Poles refuse to practice it?

Backwards?

Would you rather risk having foreskin or chop it off?

I will never throw in the towel, as long as bread remains chleb.
I'm unable to really start yet due to my exams in a few weeks; but after that, I've got a whole summer of doing nothing! :) I'll make a journey to the book shop to buy a Polish learning book.
