@pawian
you made me check Gieremek's bio and it looks like: yeah, he was Jewish :P - and he worked in France between 1960-65 - wonder why he came back?

Edit: and he was a communist apparatchik in the 50's

Bronisław Geremek served as a communist spy in the French Polonia circles most probably (I also wouldn't be surprised if he had been of Jewish stock)

Silesians in Opole region, Masurians in East Prussia were not foreing implants - their ancestors lived in their respective areas for centuries and they retained their language (one can argue if it was actually Polish in case of Silesians) in spite of the pressure for germanization since at least the middle of 18th century

I read an article about it just now and it never said 'should have' there, just 'can have' and as far as I know production of fuel grade ethanol is more expensive than buying crude oil from overseas (at the moment)

Language / When do I use certain characters? [33]


only it isn't? I say "potrzebuję komputera" (genetive) and not "potrzebuję komputer" (like "widzę komputer" with computer in accusative) (komputer is countable as opposed to "czas" or "spokój")

co chcesz is ungrammatical coloquialism, that's all

in other words you don't know what you are talking about: Polska Presse was bought by Orlen like 2 years ago (not that it made a lot of sense from economic point of view)

also the PiS government is keen on buying back companies PO and company sold (bank Pekao, PKP Energetyka come to mind)

Language / When do I use certain characters? [33]


"sukienkę" is the same as "torebkę" - it's accusative - which doesen't make sense since you would probably agree that "czasu" as in "potrzebuję czasu" is not accusative but genetive - which doestn't make sense unless you insist on a new case for Polish nouns that sometimes looks like the accusative and sometimes as genetive

Life / Gas / Benzyna prices in Poland [29]

the thing is we don't know what E10 and Super are - we are used to octane numbering here in Poland (for example 95 and 98 are 95 and 98 octane gasoline) -

the 98 octane gas costs less than 7 pln at most stations - and 95 is cheaper (the more octanes the better)
