Language / The Plural of Zloty? [46]

It translates to; we buy gold and silver.
In this case it’s not Polish currency Złoty you deal with but gold as a precious metal.
BTW it's Skup not Skóp, spelling mistake as well.

Language / Learning Polish, good for beginners? [29]


Not even close, but you’re right it is funny to a native when he hears a foreigner trying to pronounce it. You make "sz" and "si" sound like English "sh" one sound for both hence the confusion on your part LOL.

The “phony” is a moron who thinks that going to any country outside his own speaking anything else then a native language of that country or his own will get him anywhere. Obviously the morons native language skills are not that great either


I’m no expert but…


Interesting opinion however misguided it may be. If you have actually traveled to US you would have found plenty of morons who can’t understand anyone with the slightest of accent, so what makes you think his pronunciation would be immaculate or even understood by anyone given the fact that the language he will use is definitely a second language for both. Kind of like deaf man telling a blind man to read his lips. :-)))

Stabbing incident, Coalisland 21 Feb 2010

Good to see that Sarmatian tradition is still alive and well, perhaps Karabela Polska would have been a preferred weapon to practice the art of sword fighting but if you deal with a savage machete is just as good. Besides it's just a palm of his hand that he lost which was promptly reattached and not his head.

So what’s the point of your thread again? Since you agree that the temper stereotype is already taken by the Yanks.

Study / German v.s. Russian, language usefulness in Poland? [54]

Reading your post I have a feeling that you have been personally insulted by my comments. In the heat of the moment you have focused your attention on trivial meters, totally erevalent to the subject matter at hand. Although I do agree with your statements (for the most part) none of it really matters. What does is the OP opening statement when he started this thread. In one short paragraph he managed to give quite a few details about himself, the dilemma he’s facing and circumstances he’s in. Given your sensitivity and my previous comments it should have been obvious to you that just like you I consider his statements to be an insult, especially when you take his own ethnic background into consideration.

I deliberately chose to make my statements to be provocative, get some kind of reaction out of him, perhaps even an explanation. My intention was quiet simple, to see whether he’s serious or is it some kind of a trolls’ wind up. (Which btw, I suspect to be the case). Since he never bothered to explain it himself or even show his face again, I guess we’ll never know for sure. As to what the underlying cause for that might be, that's just pure speculation on my part. The explanation for this, I would like to hear straight from the horse’s mouth... so to speak.

Perhaps you don’t like my fishing technique but there’s no need for you to take it personally since my remarks were aimed at the OP. I’ve been here long enough to know you have a legit interest in the language study and consider you to be one of the good guys. On the other hand, I’m just a boorish Yank hater ;-).

No need to label ourselves as anything, people tend to do it for us, whether you’re European or an American but you see it’s all just an illusion on the part of the observer, but is it a factual? I’m proud of who I am and so should you, true worth and character can only be determined by oneself and the rest is just that, a label, someone's opinion. That’s what makes it fun to participate on international arena where the garden variety Yankee bigot is also present.

Travel / Why some travelers hate Poland? [45]

Typical American Jewish propaganda piece design to blame Poland and Poles for holocaust, full of distorted history and lies presented as a viewpoint of some uneducated Jew who does not even know his own History. Sad really, one would think it’s in your peoples interest to keep the memory alive. The author is not wasting any time he just goes on the offensive right off the bat.


Then he goes on to state


I’m not surprised, really for it’s the state of Israel’s policy to provide the bodyguards for the youth tours more to do with keeping them away from locals so they are not tainted with the real historical truth and to keep them out of trouble for they are prone to violence and show them where the bathrooms are so they don't smear the s**t on the walls of their Hotel rooms then with the reality he’s suggesting.


Oh please try to be more creative and original next time, we all seen the images’ of young Israelis taking a tour to the border of Gaza and picnicking while IDF dropped bombs on defenseless civilians in Gaza. Just because your people are accused, of with pictures to prove it and most important capable of does not automatically mean everyone else does this sort of thing.

I stopped reading it after paragraph and a half, just had enough. Looks to me like the author has a great future in Journalism, his education now is complete and equal to that of other American Jewish pseudo Journalists’. This article is full of ignorant statements design to provoke hatred. I.E.


Is the author even aware that after the Nazis had ruined it during WW2, the Old Synagogue was rebuilt in the mid-1950s and since 1961 the Old Synagogue at 24 Szeroka street has housed the museum of Jewish history and traditions, it has been crammed with relics of Krakow’s former Kazimierz Jewish quarter, items relating to religious rites and family traditions, pictures, old photos, documents presumably all thanks to the righteous Germans and none existent Jews that had been all murdered by the Poles.

Over all, an eye opening, informative piece for those that want to join the Jewish equivalent of Hitler Youth Vladi.

Travel / Why some travelers hate Poland? [45]


So what has changed since then? Jewish youth invents their own version of history for themselves and the older generation has no guts to explain it to them, I don’t think so. It’s really sad when you think about it, a point of view that belongs purely in a sci-fi section is presented as real history, some other episodes are hyped-up to unbelievable proportions creating a mockery of the events past in the process, nothing more than sensationalism which slowly seeps into the mainstream Jewish point of view as historical fact thus creating resentment on the part of those who are on the other side of the issue. This in turn reinforces your long held belief of a wide spread anti-semitism completing the cycle. There was a question on this forum why are Jews despised so much and persecuted from time to time? Perhaps here’s part of an answer, it’s a cyclical phenomenon of your own making, just a theory anyway.

Travel / Why some travelers hate Poland? [45]


No one here blames them, some like myself simply point out inaccuracy in their warped version of history for which we are automatically portrayed as anti-semites because someone actually dared to disagree and point out the falsehood. Newsflash, my ancestors suffered just the same, so did a lot of German families at the end of war. Sounds familiar? Nothing new really.

I think MareGaea might be right, there’s one Jewish youth in particular on this forum who creates more than his share of commotion known by many names, most catchy of them all is Beelzebub.


Easy there old chap just a healthy discussion.


I can see the headlines already.
A group of Israeli schoolchildren viciously attacked in an ant-semitic incident that took place yesterday in the center of Cracow, all in broad daylight.
Then go on and read the following in the article:

There’s only one casualty in the aftermath of this incident, thanks to the bravery exhibited by the Israeli security officer assigned to the group, his quick thought process in assessing the situation and resolve to end this blatant anti-semitic incident as soon as it started. One young anti-semitic Pole who appears to have been a member of some hate group judging by his manner of dress was the only casualty after security guard was forced to take the drastic measures to defend young Jewish lady’s honor from the advances of this unworthy Goim. He actually had a nerve to wink his eye at her and send her a kiss, all to the horror of the rest in the group.

Thanks to the quick reflexes and years of training in the IDF by the brave officer this whole incident lasted less than a second and was defused by the Israeli security detail before it had a chance to escalate, a fact we can all be proud of. As described by the eyewitnesses from the Israeli group this unfortunate turn of events stems from blatant anti-semitis which still exist in Poland today.

Here's an eyewitnesses accounts of this incident as described by the witness who's still in the state of shock.


The rest of the group corroborates this version of events which put an end to the speculation proposed by some that this might of just have been one big misunderstanding, no malicious intent, but we know the truth.

History / Why did Hitler kill so many Jews in Poland? [261]


Help me out here, is it ironic that Jews were dying at Auschwitz at the time of Jedwabne?

1 The first transport of Jews from Bytom (Beuthen) in German-annexed Upper Silesia arrives in Auschwitz I on February 15th 1942, while Jedwabne in German occupied Poland happened in July 1941 and a Key Word here to remember is German occupied Poland plus the dates which obviously you have chose to ignore so Jews were not dying at Aushwitz as of yet as you claim. In fact since 1940 it was the Poles who were dying there and German political opponents, well ahead the first Jewsh transports.

2 The Nazis captured Jedwabne On September 2, 1939 and give it up to the Soviets at the end of the month. The Soviets occupied Jedwabne until June 23, 1941 when the Nazis took control of that region once again with the commencement of Operation Barbarossa and rule that region till 1945. Between 1939 and 1941, the Soviets confiscated all local enterprises and the land estates in the area. It should be obvious even to you that your theory of Levi the rich Jew with a big house and land that was coveted by blood thirsty Poles holds no water; he only exists as a figment of your imagination. Nazi administration did not fare any better, they had the policy to confiscate Jewish property even prior to the war and what do you think the end result might have been when they took control of the town once again. The very same fate laid in store for the Poles under both regimes.

What is ironic though is the nerve of some Jewish troll to accuse Poles of coveting his property while that’s what this very same Jew did all along. Many eastern Polish Jews had welcomed the Soviets, felt no loyalty to Poland and collaborated with the enemy. Perhaps here is as good of a time as any to mention prominent Belorussian Jewish historian Eugeniusz Rozenblat who writes about vast Jewish-Soviet collaboration in his works. Of course there’s no secret and it has been well documented fact that Jewish-Communist massively expropriated Polish properties under Soviet rule. Nazis often complained that Poles allowed the movements of fugitive Jews instead of turning them in. Those fugitive Jews in turn formed bands that robbed and killed Polish peasants especially in the Eastern regions, as it was in the Bielski brother’s case. Jews on mass joined subversive Communist units, provoking Polish counter actions in the process, such is the reality of war. Did the sporadic killings of Jews by the Poles ever happen? Of course it did, no one sane would deny it, however that in itself is no proof of vest anti Jewish hatred or collaboration or even anti-semitism, that was a part of the general lawlessness under brutal Nazi and Soviet occupation alike, you’re just too blind to see it.

I find it despicable that the descendant of a Jews who survived the Holocaust, thanks in part to his own ancestors criminal collaboration with the Soviets, for most of the righteous ones and good have perished in the Holocaust. The descendant of those who perpetrated those heinous crimes, those who were the caused of the deaths of millions of Poles and other even some of their own in Gulags and Siberia are crying foul play and accuse Poles of wrongdoing, making the mockery of innocent lives lost in the process. It’s people like you who shame the memory of those that lost their lives, be it a Jew or a Pole. Stay away from sensationalism, read some real history, discover some skeletons in your own closet, perhaps then and only then the memory of those that perished will be fully honored and not in vain. Then and only then the events of the pest will never have the chance to repeat themselves, perhaps I’m just asking for too much?

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.

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.

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.
