The name of the city/town (Zabo) has to be misspelled. There are places called Żabno, Zabrze, but I can't be sure.

Feedback / I love this forum - It's so Polish: tolerant, inconsistent, amusing [252]

nothanks


I don't criticise the forum. I just think that religion should be more in hearts than in public forums. Even if it appears rarely it's too much for me. Especially when people don't respect others point of view coneccted with religion.

Feedback / I love this forum - It's so Polish: tolerant, inconsistent, amusing [252]

Among many people with wonderful and posistive attitude there are many as well, with "Sarmatians" way of thinking. Well, but they had good sides of the character, too, like courage, bravery, faithfulness, patriotism, pride and prowess.

Lyżko, many Polish are far away from religion.

Feedback / I love this forum - It's so Polish: tolerant, inconsistent, amusing [252]

Too much politics and religion. Most of Polish people live their life, go to work, go for holidays, have their hobbies, have families and kids and go for better, whatever it means for them. Making them or this forum "inconsistent, emotional, weepy, triumphant, groveling, yet defiant and ARDENTLY nationalistic" is just harmful.

Nobody likes being criticised. It's not Polish national trait.
However I don't feel hurt at all.
Remember, that fate has sometimes our decisions and plans as nothing and may cause you to fell for not educated enough and not too smart, however, always sweet, Polish girl.

Love / Woman 28 single, too late for a relationship with a Polish man? [67]

28 is the best age to start a serious relationship. You have already some experiences with men, but you are still very young too.

Love / Am I The Only One Who Doesn't Find Polish Women Attractive? [93]

Wulkan.
All my female Polish friends are well educated, clever, ambitious, just like 10Iwonka10 said. Some of them have several faculties and still think about further education, although they are over 30, having their own families.

Wishing you to meet intelligent Polish women then.
Maybe you will change your mind a bit.

How clever, although he forgot that their real intentions is to know "the truth".
Fear? Before what?
Their statements are so daring that I'd rather not call them with a word connected with "fear".

Lol. When I joined the site opinions like your drove me mad. Now I laugh when I see it.
Fortunately I have an impression that not too good opinions about Polish girls are more rare now that some years ago on PF.

Dlaczego miałabym skończyć jak stetryczały samotnik?
Jestem otwartą i miłą osóbką z poczuciem humoru ceniącą jednak samotność. Mam nadzieję, że tak się nie zdarzy. Odpukuję w niemalowane drewno, wredotko. Nie chciałabym spędzić życia sama, dzieląc cztery ściany tylko z własnym cieniem.

Language / Polish case question (Mężczyzna jest zimno? or Dziewczyna jest zimno?) [71]

Strzyga, you are I think a translator or teacher because your comments about Polish language were always amazingly good for me. Am I right?
Candidate, I didn't mean to offend anybody, just somebody like Strzyga has a natural talent for explaining meanders of both fascinating and wonderful my native grammar.

Lyzko I learn -Uczę się (ja). I learn myself.
I teach somebody, so: Uczę kogoś.
I teach who? what? Kogo?, co? (Biernik - B case) I teach Nancy. I teach her. i teach you. Uczę ciebie, and so on.
After dinner, (I had a delicious fish) welcome Polish grammar.

No, I don't. or: So, so.
Do I like dinners?
Yes, I do

Language / Polish case question (Mężczyzna jest zimno? or Dziewczyna jest zimno?) [71]

Mama jest zimno you can't say it because it means that your mother is cold.
So, you should change something to make the sentence understandable for your listener.
Who feels cold, not who is cold.
So, mamie jest zimno.
Or: dziewczynce jest zimno. The girl is simply not the cold.
:)
Hurrey, I found the best answer.

Language / Polish case question (Mężczyzna jest zimno? or Dziewczyna jest zimno?) [71]

Just to make Lyzko and Nightglade and others, especially ryanb happy and hungry for Polish grammar:

"Kategoria rodzaju.
Przegląd tej grupy zaczynamy od kategorii rodzaju, ponieważ w języku polskim decyduje ona o podziale na deklinacje. Jak wiadomo, gramatyki wyróżniają jako główne klasy deklinacyjne rzeczowniki rodzaju "męskiego" i "żeńskiego" i "nijakiego", a dopiero w ich obrębie dokonują bardziej szczegółowych podziałów na wzorce i odmiany..

Na pozór banalne pytanie, ile jest rodzajów w języku polskim, powinniśmy odpowiedzieć również pytaniem: po czym rozpoznajemy rodzaj?
Jeśli po końcówce ( a taka odpowiedź się nasuwa, to jak opisać rodzaj takich rzeczowników, jak gość i kość, muzum i album, poeta i kobieta albo urodziny, pomyje, usta."

From: Alicja Nagórko, Zarys gramatyki polskiej, page 93
Just to encourage to study Polish grammar.
Rather boredom and the most hated by all 78 students on Polish philology on my university subject: morphology -odmiana. gosh!
Good times of my studying in front of my mind now, thank you for that.

I know thing, my late dinner is going away.
I don't recommend to go to deeply into such cases because it's a waste of time.

Language / Polish case question (Mężczyzna jest zimno? or Dziewczyna jest zimno?) [71]

Of course they don't. Polish gramar is the least logical thing which exists in languages. Maybe except Chines drawnings and English mixed conditionals (in a company with Future Perfect continuous and a passive voice).

Language / Polish case question (Mężczyzna jest zimno? or Dziewczyna jest zimno?) [71]

To refresh my diplomma: lol
"Simple structure" is a key word in here. Simple is not always so simple as you use to think. Who feels cold? is in Polish: Komu jest zimno? Dziewczynie jest zimno. To make the sentence correct you have to use celownik (C). Musisz użyc: kogo czego? (dopełniacz D) celownika. (celownik: C) żeby zdanie było poprawne.

Polish grammar Polish peope and you will be hungry anymore . lol

Life / Why is circumcision not practiced in Poland? [701]

Because it hurts.

Language / Polish case question (Mężczyzna jest zimno? or Dziewczyna jest zimno?) [71]

What an intelligent question. S**** I am Polish and , what's more, I was studying Polish language and literature (Polish philology),
but I don't know.
:)

Language / Polish case question (Mężczyzna jest zimno? or Dziewczyna jest zimno?) [71]

Because this is the basic difference between English and P.olish.
We transform nouns. I guess ot has long, historical tradition.
Komu jest zimno? Dziewczynce. (Who feels cold? - A girl)

M. kto? co? dziewczynka who? what? a girl
D. kogo? czego ? dziewczynki whose? what? whose skirt is this? it's girl's skirt. girl's
C. komu? czemu? dziewczynce who? what? for example I look at: a girl
B. kogo? co? dziewczynkę who, what I like? a girl
N. z dziewczynką with whom? with what? do you go to the church? with a girl
Msc. o dziewczynce about who, about what I think? About a girl
W. o! dziewczynka oh! a girl

These are Polish variants/forms/inflections of a word "dziewczynka"
You, English have just a girl or girls we have: dziewczynce, dziewczynki, z dziewczynkami (with girls) dziewczynek and plenty others possible endings.

This is basic diffculty about learning Polish. We change endings of words depending on context, tense, gender etc. (Zmieniamy końcówki zależnie od czasu, rodzaju, przypadka gramatycznego, stopnia przmiotnika, kontekstu lol) - Always in a nutshell .

The easiest to remember are :D, N. Msc (Dopełniacz, Narzędnik, Miejscownik.
dopełniacz (D) whose - like English 's cat's tail - ogon kota
narzędnik (N) with whom, with who with what: with Nancy - z Nancy
miejscownik (MSC): about Kasia: I'm talking about Kasia -Mówie o Kasi:
Pretty easy when you hear these forms everywhere. Learning is the easiest by listening, so listen as much as possible.
