Language / Polish post office vocabulary [8]


Parcels (paczki) are also registered and can be tracked online (if this is the tracking you want):
emonitoring.poczta-polska.pl

Their web system is still far from perfect however, I often see delays up to few days (with parcel already delivered).

If you want to have better tracking service, use door-2-door service ("przesyłka kurierska"). With Polish Post, this is service is called Pocztex. Others you know already: DHL, UPS, TNT, DPS etc.

Language / Terms of endearment in Polish [222]

"Jubie" does not call any ring regarding children. It could be "dzióbie", which could be used by a man to a woman, but also not really often (it is a modified - hardened - form of "dzióbku", which is discussed above).

Huh, this one is weird. "Quite average phase"... Without context it's impossible to get it. "Faza" in slang language is a state of being slightly drunk/intoxicated. It's also commonly used for a hot wire in AC installations. Other meanings are technical ones, equal to english "phase".

"Taka sobie" is an idiom meaning "nothing special".
