Love / Native Polish Muslims.... how do they get into relationships? [32]

Tartars were not polish by 16 maybe 17th century... Ever since they have been, by and large. They spoke, first, ruthenian and then polish.

Language / Będę kupowała/będę kupić [18]


Będę kupował = roughly: I will be buying. E.g. Codziennie rano będę kupował bułki. (indicates repetition)

Będę kupić - such construction does not exist in polish grammar, however, one can say:

Kupię = roughly: I will buy, I will have bought. E.g. Jutro kupię bułki (once, no repetition implied here)

Genealogy / Polish equivalent of William [16]

True, Wilhelm is the equivalent form of William. Interestingly though, when referring to Prince William we do not change the name i.e. we say: Książę William. Which is inconsistent indeed, cf. Prince Charles --> Książę Karol. Nb. the name Wilhelm is of german origin and has not been in much use in Poland, as opposed to Karol.

Genealogy / Polish equivalent of William [16]


Very true, I have heard of that diminutive form. However I have never met anyone in PL, whose first name would be Wilhelm. Perhaps I am out of luck. But I did know one Medard way back when! :-). Now that's a really exceptional name for a polishman!

How about you worry about soon to be the first Mormon president of your country; as a 'good' catholic you should have opinion of him and not of what's going on in Poland.

On the contrary, that's precisely why it has been a "green" island for the past few years.

Yes, you are right, we all dread PIS coming to power.

Language / kiedy i tam [15]

There is no expression: Kiedy i tam.

There is however and expression: kiedy i gdzie? Perhaps you meant that?

Language / kiedy i tam [15]


You should have started with quoting this sentence at the very beginning! Now I know what your problem is re: understanding. In this case it means.

I saw various miracles in the future, but what of it, when also there, where only wizards live, one cannot live forever.

This is a piece of literary language and you can only translate it properly if context is also given. Did that translation help?

Language / kiedy i tam [15]

It's only a free translation. There are better native polish speakers on this forum who probably can translate more competently into english as well. BTW, you're dealing with a rather complicated/advanced level of polish here. Congratulations!

Well done, Strzyga.

Life / I hate Warsaw. The worst part about living here is the people who move here from small towns, villages.. [124]

I love Warsaw for so many reasons, that it would be hard for me to enumerate them or in what order. And I am not native to this town either, although more than 20 years have passed since I moved here.

Po polsku / Życie pod wspólnym dachem. Jak to jest? [28]

Za mało próbowałaś. Drobnostki negatywne należy pomijać, natomiast te pozytywne należy eksponować i brać z nich zadowolenie. Takie też bywają. Ale, co prawda to prawda, zawsze to jest zamieszanie w życiu... ale potem jest docieranie, i fajnie się dociera jeśli jest Wola i Ochota :-). Bądź optymistyczna!

News / Grzegorz Braun's firing squad? [39]


Is that your proposal Polonius?

News / Grzegorz Braun's firing squad? [39]


It certainly is not comparable (braun vs. sikorski) not to mention several years since Sikorski uttered his words. "Dorzynać watahę" is a literary expression and general enough as to not provoke prosecutor's action. What Braun stated is simply deplorable.

I also notice that you have that homo sovieticus trait in you Polonius. When faced with facts which compromise PIS and cannot be defended, you dig up some old story which in your mind outweighs the former. Typical soviet approach.

Why do you not like Germans, Ironside, who currently reside in Poland and are citizens of Poland?

Why JK is always so negative towards other people, is beyond my comprehension. If you reverse the logic of his statement (quoted above) I could actually agree with it.

Like that: Poles in Germany should have the same rights as Germans in Poland.
