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

If only it were as simple as x number of cases, y number of genders, z number of grammatical moods and so on. It's the daunting array of different forms within each case, gender and mood. Something as simple as forming a plural or a genitive is complicated by there not being one rule and a small handful of irregular formations - there are quite often two or three rules into which a word can fit. Masculine singular genitives - you need to know whether to finish the word the -a or -u when you learn the nominative because I'm fairly sure there's no consistency in determining which is to be used.

But at least Polish did away with the dual number (although it seems it has many traces left behind in words like drzwi meaning door(s) or forms of the word ręka. Slovenian has kept the dual number but has made up for this by ditching another pointless grammatical gender.


Polish people like to complicate things.

Food / Do Polish people really love cabbage ?? [78]

Cabbage cooked nicely - steamed, then served with a butter and a dash of salt and pepper is a fine way to keep up your vegetable intake. However, I have a jar of sauerkraut in my fridge and I need more ideas of what I can do with it.

Mmmmmm... Cabbage. It's cabbage's evil little brother, the brussels sprout that you have to be careful with.

Food / Polish Pizza !! The best in the world? [330]


If Hawaii can have pizza, then why not Poland too?

If you were going to have an "authentically Polish" pizza, what toppings would you choose?

I didn't say that all Polish pizza is rubbish. I had one pizza and it was rubbish. There's too much other good food in Poland for me to make a reasonable analysis of the quality of Polish pizza. Glad you like the avatar. The goat is a noble creature! Lech isn't quite my favourite beer though. Nearly, but not quite.


Stick to the Polish ravioli. It's made out of little baby pigeons apparently.

I had a Polish pizza once and it was rubbish, but if you make your own pizza but substitute Italian-style ingredients with kiełbasa and so forth, then serve with ogórki, you can't go wrong. Especially as pineapple isn't exactly indigenous to Poland. Are there any interesting goat's cheeses that might go well on pizza? Maybe something from the mountains.
