Thanks for correction noted hopefully I won't make the same mistake again.

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


I’m not disputing the fact that the entomology could have evolved in the manner you have describe, what I’m saying is that if indeed that’s the case the original meaning is not what it is today and no one will ever make this assumption. However there are still some anomalies to be explained to put this theory of yours on a solid footing. Surely if the term “na” originaly referred to the neighboring lands only, one would have to make the assumption that it would equally apply to the lands east of us as well as in the west and there lies the dilemma. When we speak of the German lands we say “w” ie. (w Saksonii, w Brandenburgii, w Turingii, w Bawarii etc.) Those are all lands describing historical regions and as such same principal should govern all, be it eastern lands or western lands. It’s an interesting theory which btw I’m not buying at all, I’m afraid an explanation is much more simple than that, we simply use the term that comes more naturally to us hence so many discrepancies.

Edit: Even if you make the distinction that the lands west of us are Germanic and the other are Slavic, how do you explain Hungary and Baltic lands?

How did you come about that theory? If that was the case then logically speaking one should only find this anomaly when we refer to countries not territories but that’s not always the case. We find same phenomenon when we talk about territories take US states for instance, one would say; (mieszkam na Florydzie vs. mieszkam w Kaliforni or mieszkam w Teksasie vs mieszakam na Hawajach) Historically speaking out of all those territories only Texas was a Republic at one time so only in reference to Texas we should see the term “w” every other state should be referred to as “na” but we don’t say (na Illinois but rather “w” Illinois, we don’t say “na Nowym Jorku we say “w” etc.) Now I’m not a teacher so I don’t have the explanation for you as to why that is, all I know is that your theory doesn’t hold water either. Same phenomenon you can find when we speak of other territories that were never in their history independent nations. Take a region known as Bessarabia for instance, you would say (mieszkam w Besarabi not na Besarabi) and counteless other examples. All I can say is - it just is.

EDIT: correction Hawaii was also independent but we say "na" instead of "w".

Nah, we just like to have a good laugh once in a while, reading idiotic comments made by foreigners who have no clue as to what they are talking about. How they would reform the language without even having a basic understanding of it as it is now, a sure signs of delusional mind which can’t cope with the problem at hand. In all honesty it does make you wonder, is it really that difficult? Or are they just too stupid to grasp the concept? Each language has its own beauty, peculiarity and difficulty. It’s like overhearing two art students who barely started their studies yet pretending to be experts at some museum discussing two different artists and styles comparing them to each other while presenting the arguments on how one should be more like the other because each favors the other artist and style, instead of recognizing the fact that each one is unique and appreciating them as they are. I’m enjoying this circus from the sidelines while having a beer and an occasional laugh, thank you very much.

I on the other hand know that you haven't read my previous post or refuse to acknowledge it and deliberately try to misinform unsuspected readers who might not speak Polish fluently. Just because you have managed to convince yourself that


, does not make it so.

I.E.
"Wczoraj poznałem Angola, świetny facet." Or "Ten Angol to się zna na fachu."
And countless other examples that one can think off. This alone would make your statement


FALSE period.

Plain to see for anyone who's even semi fluent in Polish, I would go even further and argue that in both of the examples given above, the word "Angol" is used not only as a short form for someone British but also as a diminutive and a rather affectionate way to describe someone who is British, nothing derogatory about it. Contrary to your belief or your propaganda campaign whatever might be the case, that


When spoken by anyone from North America in fact it is ALWAYS derogatory, it was spread by the American Jew who propagated Polish Jokes eventually becoming synonymous with a word "Stupid" as in "You're such a Polak."

P.S. There's no need to put a Jewish spin on this and make it sound like "Angol" is such a dirty word used by an intolerant and the racist Pole while a Pole should not be offended when some Yank or some Red Sea Pedestrian uses the word "Polak" as there's nothing sinister meant by it, but we know better, don't we? B.S. if you ask me, In fact the truth is in total opposite to what you claim here.

Language / Is the term 'Polak' derogatory?? [254]

I guess there’s really nothing to explain to those pretending to be some kind of a Big City Intellectual who does not grasp the meaning of slang, or see how the word “Angol” is sometimes used as derogatory for Brit as “Polak” for Pole in English or pretending that perhaps it’s not used that way. You really must lead a sheltered life.

That explains this typical laid back couch potato attitude which is a uniquely American life style which must have rubbed off on them from their lazy American neighbors. LOL Polish town in U.S, indeed. We have a saying "Wleziesz między wrony- kraczesz jak i one" (When in Rome, do as the Romans do).

No need, I chose to spend my time and money where I earn them. You on the other hand chose to live where your money goes much further then back home yet still manage to whine how expensive everything is. So you see, being born in a wealthy country does not mean you have it and pretending like you have it proves one thing to me, that you are envious of your own countryman and had to go abroad to get that worm fuzzy feeling inside, didn’t you.

Yes, but it’s all relative isn't it? So consider this


Yet the question still remains, are you one of those Yanks?

Good for you. There’s a lot of ways to have fun, and if you don’t charge too much who knows even a poor Pole might have a good time.

Then why the f*** you complain about the price of drinks in Poland? when by your own admission same thing is going on in US. Get over yourself; no one will treat you special just because you are a Yank nor can you expect to have good time for free or at the cost, they have to make their money somehow, you on the other hand don't have to spend it there if you're that cheap.

Life / Giving tips in Poland [235]

I don’t know if you noticed it but the mighty dollar has fallen mightily, so perhaps it’s not that you are being taken advantage of as a Yank in Poland but your green back does not go as far these days, even in places like Poland. Poor, poor yank, there’s no place left on earth for gringos to have their fun, and where the drinks won't cost them an arm and a leg.

Life / Giving tips in Poland [235]

Proves my point, you go out, you want to have good time yet you don’t want to spend any money. Business is business, you always have a choice to sit home alone if you feel you are being ripped off, if you want a good time on the other hand you do have to pay for it, no matter where you live. So no need to b**** about it.

Is that common business practice in US? Sounds like you speak from experience. While Yanks wouldn’t even blink and would have been more than happy to pay for those drinks, Poles would have noticed, we know our vodka.

My parrot can speak Polish, my dog understands and obeys the commands given to him in Polish and they don’t brag.


So your intelligence is lass then that of the two mentioned, IQ level somewhere in the single digits, so I guess in a way you’re right, you really have nothing to be proud of.

Please, don’t tell me that you’re smart enough to run a successful business but can’t learn Polish language. It’s only a language like any other; if we can learn English surely you can do the same. You always have an option to hire someone that can do whatever you have to do to be successful in Poland, otherwise I’ll take it as I can’t do it it’s too hard for me (I’m not smart enough!) get it?


Who’s everyone? You and your alter ego, please.

News / Do Poles in Poland really feel betrayed because there won't be any US Shield? [288]


That's not the kind of floods i would worry about if I wear from Netherlands.


I don't think so but since you brought it up, what dose the the subject of this post to do with US visas? Besides the fact that some stupid fvck of a Yank brought it up because he was disappointed in that fact that Poles actually don't give a damn about American shield so you had to throw in your expert opinion. No need to get upset, but since you did make a stupid remark you deserve what you got as an response. BTW they can shove those visas up where the sun don't shine, once they were sought by all and would kill for them (BTW so was toilet paper) not any more, times have changed you know. The opinion of America is changing fast in Poland.


Quick glance at Wiki would tell you otherwise, but it proves an even earlier point mentioned here, you do have the math skills of the community collage student, don't you? I remember seeing a program on CNN criticizing various health care systems around the globe and comparing them to US. Even the socialized health system of Canada (which was heavily criticized and where it was emphasized that you have to wait for the procedures for weeks on end) have a higher then you lifespan. You only repeat what you hear on TV but don't bother to check the facts, not everything that's said on TV can be taken at face value.


Your average American wouldn't know how, your previous post proved that point. They don't divulge this information on TV you would have to actually learn something about cars in general and about the alarm systems.

We have a Polish American immigration expert who lives in Netherlands and himself is neither a Pole nor American but a Jew, Go figure WTF? Do they make decisions like that for you in the states as well?

News / Do Poles in Poland really feel betrayed because there won't be any US Shield? [288]

This shield was nothing but a pipe dream intended just as the first one “Star Wars” was, to get the concessions from Russia. Bush administration was too stupid to come up with something more original. I'm not even sure if Russians got fooled again and got on board with them over Iran issue. My guess they are doing exactly what Americans are, they are lying. They will promise one thing and wait them out, America is almost broke, how much longer can they last? Russia don't want you in their back yard, simple as that.
