Love / Polish girls attitudes towards sex. [568]

I think Polish girls are no different from other girls around the world. Although we are usually behind Western Europe both males and females are quickly catching up with every novelty, and are becoming more open to new sensations.


Can you stop feeding the troll please.

Work / Software Jobs in Poland [31]

If you join an international company there shouldn't be a problem with the language - I mean you usually need to know the original language of the country the company is based on. Like Siemens - german or english...

I don't think it'll be hard to get a java developer's job, there are foreign companies here and there that are actually in need of people who have strong english language skills : o

Language / Polish slang phrases - most popular. [606]


Yes it is - koteczku, kotku, kotusiu - I heard these three, the second one "kotku" is the most popular one.


"There none who can deal with Gabryś"


so you think that someday? yes ? or no? maybe...?
"wszystkiego mej" doesn't make much sense but it sounds like "wszystkiego naj" which is "best wishes" ("naj" from "najlepszego") and I dunno what it is so "slang" about these words that you had to post it in here

Life / Do expats living in Poland speak Polish? [233]


I don't think this thread was intended to create a flame war about which language is better. You can't compare Polish language spoken in Poland to English which is used in many big countries like US or UK. Huge number of users causes English language to change and grow rapidly and evolve, hence I can't see any sense in even trying to compare these two.

I also think that relaying on the translation of some random Pole isn't the best thing, beside when I translate something for my friends I always use the most basic forms which are simple for them to decode.

Now when everything is clear, you guys can go back to the original topic. I really admire people who are not Polish and mastedered at least basics of our language. Always happy to help those struggling with it..

Love / I want to meet and date a Polish man [77]

Law / POLISH BEER IMPORT TO UK [37]

there should be a thread for gourmets of polish tesco beers.. ( and other polish brands that are called "piwo" ), with marks and photos :)

History / Have Poles blood on their hands? :) [496]


Can't see blood on anyone's hands because of this, it's irrelevant to the topic. You haven't given any links or sources - therefore it's drivel.

As for all the talk about minorities, Ukrainians lead by OUN-B, commited a genocide on Polish minorities in Wolyn in 1943 just to win any upcoming elections. There's still a lot of hatred in both polish and ukrainian people living near ukrainian-polish border.

BB I really don't understand where do you find the nerve to state your cheeky comments excusing prussian annexation and telling us how it wasn't as bad "because", which German deeds will you start to justify next?

Life / Things that annoy you in Poland. [114]


That depends where you live, I wouldn't recommend drinking tap water in Silesia, I've already said that in the "tap water" thread. It's ok after filtering/boiling or both.

Food / PIZZA & KETCHUP served only in Poland? [159]


They do that in some pizzeries, but from what I heards from my friends nobody really likes it. People generally find those pizzerias too lazy to come up with their own recipe. Best pizzerias have their own sauces.

On the other hand most Poles put Ketchup on many other things like toasts or rice...

Travel / Castles and Palaces in Poland (with pictures) [154]


When I was in Ukraine about 8 years I've seen many castles being used this waynot a single one in Poland. Still, some are in a pretty delapidated state because of lack of funds for renovation.

Zabrze is obviously the best city out there, sorry to all those living in the dark.

Work / I want to move to Poland (but of course we need to find a good job) [117]

I can tell you that the whole thing about higher education comes from times just after communism, during the communism period in poland nobody was actualy trying to get higher education. Most people were finishing technical collage courses or work courses. When communism ended and state companies were deregulated and new private companies emerged - in that time workers with a university education were being promoted over people who stopped their education without going to uni. I heard plenty of such life stories from my parents, older people who were never promoted just because they didn't have the paper, seeing youngsters who they worked with overtaking them.

I think that's why there's such notion of getting even the crappiest masters degree...

Oh and I forgot, another reason for going to a uni was running away from the army - at least just until lately.

Love / Polish Girls negative or positive personality trait? [267]

Polish girls are dumb foreign boyfriends negative..

Language / Polish Swear Words [1242]

sha clef - "psiakrew" - dog's blood ; ) that's one of Polish variations of "damn"
holeta - "cholera" - cholera as above

less probable :

holeta - "hołota" - rabble / trash ( about a noisy/aggresive group of people )

Life / Russian rap vs Polish rap [87]


Come on, that's one of the worse polish rappers out there, his lyrics are simple and dumb, rhyming about fighting the police and living on the street is something that only appeals to rebellious 14y olds.

Travel / Starbucks in Poland? [149]


I've been to some in Katowice, the coffee is worse than in Starbucks, the same with pastry - and it's still quite expensive... I can recommend "Cynamon" cafe but I only know about the one in Katowice and Gdynia : o

Work / Software Jobs in Poland [31]

It's a good place to get cheap labour, outsourcing to western european and american countries is probably the biggest software development market in here.. students, or just after graduation programming for a penny..

Genealogy / Want to find a person [755]


The only things I found is this entry:

nargeo.geo.uni.lodz.pl/~geogrfiz/pracemagisterskie.html

it's a webpage of physical geography faculty at the Ludz University, there's a topic of her thesis next to name from 1994, I doubt they would give you any information at the Uni, but you can always give it a try and write an email to their deanary, you can always say you're a foreign long lost cousin ; )

Study / Rumor about racism - will I be fine in Poland as a black International student from Africa? [241]


Wrong, there's much much more knife and gun crime in UK, from what I heard it's better now, but there are places and cities well known for it's knife crime rate, there's no such things here in Poland, of course you have your dangerous districts, but it's not to the same degree as it is in UK. The only area we are "better" in is road traffic, excidents, collisions more of them in here..

On the topic, in Warsaw you'll be just fine - of course not the same as at home - without the knowledge of your surroundings it's always worse.. and always not as at home, but you'll probably get familiar with the area and feel safer with time.

Yeah, that's exactly him, he was mainly teaching in Kato from what I know, but I attended classes in Gliwice. From what I remember he moved to Spain or somewhere.. do you have any contact with him?

Work / Advice on Teaching English in Poland [709]


It was 3 to 4 years ago, I'm not exactly sure, do you know him? I don't think he was teaching Callan, there was lots of grammar from time to time..
