what I meant by being on the same page is that

It means you are BULLY towards Polish people and Poland.

You- aphrodisiac and 1jola and many, many more here should be exposed as the enemy of Poland and Polish people .

Why don't we do that?? We'll see how many Jews are involved or if any other nationalities are .

Off-Topic / ANYONE HEAR A STRANGE NOISE IN WARSAW....? [45]

Did anyone hear a loud whooshing noise in the early hours in Warsaw , followed by a high pitched squeek , then a thud , and lots of bubbling noises...?

???? no, we did not hear such noise in Australia..probably we should care more about some unusual noises ,for example: as in the Germany, the latest news (last night) of an unidentified noise was of....?? (can you guess what was it?)

Did you flush when you were done?

NOOOO it was not me...i was asleep in Zachodniopomorskie...lots of miles away...

Probably you were dreaming...how could you hear anything while in the north-west (zachodniopomorskie) of Poland and suggesting the noise was coming from Warsaw region???

which is almost in the middle of Poland.

You never know! Everything's possible.

I didn,t hear it...i was just asking if anyone else did...?

Be alert..it's possible the after earthquake shocks (you know what earthquakes I'm taking about, don't you) are somewhere near Warsaw...

hmmm

Life / Why do majority of Polish are afraid to admit their nationality? [28]

In your opinion what is the base for behavior like this?

The base could be, they were not Polish.
Havok in your profile, it states : Yes, somewhat when asked if you know Polish language and I'm convinced you probably missunderstood the peoples language.

There are other similarly sounding languages to Polish, like Slovak language ( from Slovakia) or Ukrainian (from Ukraine) .
There are no reasons why would Polish people not want to be recognised as a Polish citizens unless they were some kind of weirdos or otherwise they were scared of you (maybe you tried too hard to get to know them).

Some other reasons could be, Polish people are very reserved towards unknown person . That's our Polish culture, we need time to get to know people before we can trust them or engage in conversation.

We are very formal to unkown person. I mean Poles living in Poland, because Poles from around the world are much different and more approachable- you should remember that.

Australia / Finding work on Prospective marriage visa, Melbourne ( subclass 300 ) [30]

Perfectly good Polka just needed to be a little bit patient while looking for the job.

Boat people mostly from Sri Lanka lately, are people who seek refuge from war torn countries etc. they have the rights, as anyone in the world, to live normal life.

Australia provides protection for asylum seekers who meet the United Nations definition of a refugee, as defined in the 1951 Convention and 1967 Protocol relating to the Status of Refugees..

The refugees are not only the "boat people" they are also very talented known to the world people who are coming here on visitors or business visa, like in example, Russian "Balszoj Ballet" where after the performance some of the dancers applied for the refugee status - what a huge gain to the Australian Ballet.

In other situations we also gain many sport gold medalist from around the world, which are not leaving Australia after their performance because of seeking refuge here.

What I wanted to say is that, our government is protecting these people by spending taxpayers money but in return we gain a lot much more.

You shouldn't question this kind of asylium seekers because maybe tomorrow you could become one of them if the disaster strikes.

History / Was the Polish/ Lithuanian commonwealth a European power? [111]

And Kijiw is thought to come from a word "kyj", which means a "spear".

kyj or (pol) kij means stick not spear!!

Zaporoże (you may translate as "such a dam!" or "together as a dam!")

Zaporizhya means "behind the river barriers", nothing of "together" or "such a dam".

Do you even know what's dam??
Here for you to learn: thefreedictionary.com/Dam
That's why it is possible it could be called by some "such a dam".

Do Polish people have a temper?

It's like a question, are (all) polish people blond and with blue eyes?

Life / Do Polish people have a temper? [53]

I don't really know what you mean by that,

What I mean is, you shouldn't see Polish people as one person.
Come-on, what kind of generalisation is this. There are some people with temper ( Polish incuding) and there are some people (and Polish including!) without temper .

It all depends on individual's personality and temperament which can be divided into groups of people with specific and different behaviours as ie: choleryk or flegmatyk etc.

Genealogy / Konrad Josef Urbański - please help to find information on my father.... [6]

If anyone has the names of his brother, sister and mum it would be a great help.

You should see if anyone from Urbański family from city/near Toruń is registered at nasza-klasa.pl . This site is the most popular website in Poland and almost everyone - mainly Polish people, are registered over there.

They have a forum where you can post some questions.

his father was called Josef Urbański.

Josef in Polish is spelled Józef just in case you need it.

Best luck!

Life / Is Poland a safe country for people of color? [241]

Przemos gurl: I did not have fun in Poland & will never go back. Being that I am only allowed in Europe for 90's out of a 180 day period,

Next time you shoudn't be allowed to Poland at all.

Przemos gurl: Now I have to wait until July to go back to Europe & Im sad that I did not enjoy myself while I was there. Przemek was very upset that I did not like his country,.........

.......I like more glamorous & upscale vacation spots. Like Paris, Rome, Fiji etc. Even New York is more up my ally.

You should go and visit the a/s places instead wasting your time going to Zgorzelec in Poland.
Przemek must be blind not to see how shallow you are. I guess it won't take long for him to see true you.

Przemos gurl: The reason I am reposting is to let anyone who reads this know that i did not feel that people in Poland were racist

Przemos gurl: People do stare and its very unsettling. At first i felt uncomfortable even going anywhere at all because i didnt want to be gawked & gaped at. The only people that were not staring were little kids, to them I was just another person. The staring was so bad that Przemek even was uncomfortable.

Are you extraordinary looking or what is wrong that people are scared/ amused when you are around. Maybe you can tell as the secret?
I really wonder what was the reason.

Przemos gurl: It was all just of poor quality. Everything was even the food at grocery stores. I had to go to Germany to buy good food.

Poor you. At least you found out were to go and buy food.

Przemos gurl: On a positive note I did get to try some Polish food that I loved. Perogi (?) was my favorite - Russian Perogi. Then I had some pancake things that had like onions or something in it that I loved and that soup with the bits of egg in it? Loved it:)

Not "russian pierogi" but "ruskie pierogi" and it has nothing to do with Russia.
Wow! Was not even scared to try this poor quality Polish food.

Life / Is Poland a safe country for people of color? [241]

The reason I put the comments on your posts was purely because of your sooo very undecided and confusing opinion about Poland. I don't care if you liked the country and it's people, this is not the case (anyway you should at least try to like the country because of your boyfriend, it's your loss if you don't).

Read your posts again and see for yourself how in every second sentence you have completely different opinion , here we go, your sentences (I had a really good laugh reading you)

*I did not have fun in Poland & will never go back.
And not long after
*Now I have to wait until July to go back to Europe & Im sad that I did not enjoy myself while I was there.

Another one, where in short I'd describe as "Polish people are not racists but run for your life if you see Poles"

*i did not feel that people in Poland were racist. I did not feel like it wasnt safe
and :
*it was just plain rude the way people were staring & following me around (not the men at the bars, but others... like they would purposely follow me around a store so they were able to gape at me) . For the two reasons listed above I will never go back.

Men were coming up to me ..he could have started a fight, . One guy even followed us outside of the bar for awhile, ..
The staring was so bad ..


Or this:
[i]*but I never went to any bars or clubs.
And:
*Actually when i was in Warsaw at the end of my trip I did go to a few bars[/i]

In my opinion you have a low self-esteem. This can influence the way you behave or see other people. That's why you were too observant and were obsessively checking if anyone stares at you and if you stare, people stare back or even follow you thinking about some chances with you.

It happened just in Poland because your boyfriend is Polish and it was important - in other countries it didn't annoy you because you didn't observe others as much.

Food / Herb used in Polish rosol (chicken soup)? [88]

She calls it 'maggie' but doesn't really know the real name of it. It has a bit of a celery smell to it but it is not celeriac.

In Poland "maggie" seasoning where lubczyk is its main herb , is known to be added to "rosół" by some people but not while cooking it, only when you need to season your soup just before or while eating.

You can add lubczyk herb (not maggi) while cooking rosół, adding it together with vegetables.
Personally, I would use only chicken, carrot, leek, onion, celery leaves and when cooked season it with fresh parsley leaves and salt&pepper.
What's important for me, I would add 1tbsp or a bit more of Vegeta "Gourmet Stock" at the end of cooking (suprisingly not Vegeta chicken stock).

Maggi seasoning I don't use because it changes rosół flavour.

Some people add to rosół cabbage?? beef meat??? and many other "magical" (for them) stuff , I don't know why.
Rosół is a very simple to cook without making it half "kapuśniak" (cabbage soup) or half "zupa wołowa" (beef soup).

Food / Herb used in Polish rosol (chicken soup)? [88]

Potatoes are eaten with parsley in Poland.

Who in Poland do that?? It's really something unusual.
I'm Polish and I've never heard of putting parsley on potatoes. Yes , many Polish people (not everyone) like to eat potatoes... but with dill but that's a difference.

Love / SAYING "SORRY" TO A LADY RAISED IN POLAND FOR SOMETHING I SAID [17]

BUT NOW SHE HAS CHANGED SHE JUST SAYS HELLO AND DONT SMILE AND REALLY DONT WANT TO TALK. WOULD IT BE A GOOD IDEA TO BUY A GIFT TO SAY SORRY OR SHOULD I JUST LEAVE IT CAN ANYONE HELP

Leave it as it is!
Especially, don't buy her gifts because it'll make things even worse and questionable.
Anyway, why do you feel you need to buy her gift??
Your Polish lady co-worker and her husband probably don't want to keep any closer relation with you. Maybe her husband doesn't like you to be her friend instead of a co-worker.

On the other hand, that's normal Polish behaviour, some couples like to keep to themselve only.

Language / Maria, what is the Polish form? [30]

The same like in English - Maria, but pronounced differently.
Nicknames: Marysia, Maryśka, Mania, Mańka, sometimes used Mariola

Language / Maria, what is the Polish form? [30]

Mariola is a different name

That is what I've mentioned above, often person named Maria would prefer to be called by a nickname like Mariola- is it more clear now???

Many girls (in Poland) named Maria would accually prefer to be called Mariola or by any other nationally known nicknames, which relates to Maria name (in Poland) . The name Maria in Poland is known to have a lots of nicknames and lots of demunitives as well.

marihuana

Yeah, hehehe... marihuana is called Maryśka (in Polish) which is demunitive of Maria.

Language / Maria, what is the Polish form? [30]

I don;t know what you mean but for sure I can tell you that:
- Italian Mario in Polish is Mariusz
- Italian Marco is Marek in Polish

Apropos the 'MariA'/'MariO' form,

Polish natives won't have a doubt why it happened that in some cases we address a girl by Mario instead of Maria - it's all about Polish grammar!
