Language / Word order and swearing in Polish [44]

kurde

From all the people I've met this is the only one I've heard.

Actually thinking about it I have heard "kurcze"

I have also heard "Ja pierdikam" and realised it wasn't bad. Kinda like "Bloody hell" I guess.

Love / English girl. Do Polish men afraid to show their feelings or they are just not comfortable in UK? [84]

ukgirl

Just a thought:

Maybe he is just thinking it won't be much fun for you, I mean of the Poles I've known they generally live with other Poles and then where they live they have a few parties etc but generally there are only Polish people there and they only speak in Polish. Maybe he is just aware of that fact that you might feel left out because you don't understand what is going on...

(I'm making the presumption you don't speak Polish)

the guy wants to spend time with his mates, they probably don't speak good English, the girl doesn't speak Polish, what's the fun in that?

make her feel left out.

Exactly!

To be honest we don't have a clue what is going on! why doesn't she just......ASK HIM!

This is probably a 1 minute discussion between 2 people in a relationship and instead now it's a forum discussion.

Not being rude but JUST ASK HIM!

Life / Does Poland have an equivalent to Amazon.com? [18]

Yeah.. I asked a friend and he said there is Allegro but as you said it's more like eBay and dare I say a little dodgy?!? I don't know because I have not used it, though once I nearly did to buy some software when I broke my computer in Poland.

I was thinking more of an Amazon approach you know with a guaranteed quality of goods and several delivery options.

News / Poland Should Beef Up Military [286]

like this one?

Yes, I prefer the 7.62mm, the stopping power is tremendous! I'd prefer the A3 version though as I hate retractable stocks.

As for something smaller for CQB I'd use the HK UMP-45.

Smaller still...

Glocks mainly, a Glock 30 again a .45

As you can tell I'm a bit of a gun/special forces nut.

I'd like to know more about Polish special forces though I have lent all my books to my little brother.

News / What's the stupidest question asked about Poland? [414]

??

The same reason I am asked them. A lot of English people know little or nothing about Poland, those of us English who have visited Poland are asked questions sometimes.

What's your problem with that?!?

You have to be Polish to know something about Poland now?

OK, obviously PolskaDoll has a lot of knowledge about my country and so you do. Perhaps more than me. LOLOLOL Hands up.

Yes but that's not what you said now is it. Sidestepping. Don't be ambiguous.

I'm off to bed

Yes. Ok. Goodnight.

Love / English Men vs Polish Men [207]

How funny was this thread!

My experience is that Polish guys have no problems cheating on their gf's (probably because Polish girls are generally prettier that English) English men can seem to keep it in their pants more.

IMO.

Love / English Men vs Polish Men [207]

ShelleyS

I have to agree. To me... attractive, intelligent, pleasant English women are few and far between....and then when you find one she is married.... ;)

I think most Polish guys would happily cheat on their girlfriends and attribute this to the notion of 'well all men do it' I'm not sure if this is a Polish thing or generally a guy thing although I haven't witnessed it as much in the UK... personally I hate cheating and I sometimes wonder if I am the only guy I know who has a enough scruples to keep his proverbial **** in his pants.

Theres a cool Reverend and the Makers song that always pops into my head on these topics...

"cos they don't teach you in school about the state of things.."

Love / English Men vs Polish Men [207]

The wife cannot always be there to satisfy the urge and drive of men, especially if they are overseas.

But isn't it that that differentiates us from animals?

Still, I find it wrong to cheat. I just wouldn't do it.

Good for you mate. We're a dying breed I'm sure!

Life / How would you describe the Polish sense of humour? [66]

I got to thinking the other day about how Polish people react to the jokes I've told them and how they have reacted to certain situations we have been together in which I have thought to be funny and they have not and I realised that Poles and Brits have very (sometimes very, very!) different sense of humour.

So I would like to ask how you would generally describe the Polish sense of humour and even to post some Polish jokes or funny stories which make you laugh.

Life / How would you describe the Polish sense of humour? [66]

even if it's literally the same joke in the 2 languages. to me Polish jokes written by Polish people are the funniest.

Of course naturally the translation issue is there and those jokes which are funny only to Poles and those to Brits about the way things are in our separate cultures and as well each to their own in terms of what we personally find funny.

It's interesting stuff though thank you.

Most times when you see that message, "double clicking" on the video screen will make it work. When posting a utube link it is always best to check in the preview box to see if there is any problems with the link. Hope this helps;)

Alternatively just check on the actual youtube page in the embedding box and you will see if you are allowed to embed.
