Language / Chodzic versus Isc. When and why? [18]

it also translates to "I'm going" as in "I'm going to the movies, tomorrow" (Idę jutro do kina or Pójdę jutro do kina, but the first one is what's more commonly used).

is this the kind of future form you meant?

as of the future form of "chodzić"... "będę chodzić?" - I'll go to, I plan to go to", again a regular activity, as in "I'll go to that school"

Language / Chodzic versus Isc. When and why? [18]

chodzic is used as:
- to be able to walk (children, someone who's recovered after an injury, etc.)
- to work - in terms of a device
- to walk, but as an activity without a direction/destination - for instance: to walk in circles, to walk for the sake of walking (like to collect thought or sth.)

- a regular activity of doing something described in simple present tense in english (I go to the gym)

iśc, this one you'd use most of the time, when you'd use "to go" in english in continuous tense , so in most other cases when describing an activity of going somewhere at a particular moment

Language / About usage of the special Polish letters: ą ć ę ł ń ó ś ż ź [28]

'zwrotow'

you can't find this one ('zwrotów'), because it's not in it's basic form (singular, first case - denominator), it is 'zwrot' you should be looking for in this case

it's not the presence of those letters, that makes it hard to find a word in a dictionary

pojebany/a/e (m., f., n.) is already quite vulgar, i think ot translates to 'f... up'

Language / Polish Swear Words [1242]

świr (the word 'świrus' originates from) means 'nutcase, nut, nuts'

Nutcase Bartek would be the translation

UK, Ireland / Warning to British people visiting Poland!! Don't get drunk and smash the place up! [447]


i don't think so, although a longer discussion would be pointless. :)


it's not. ignoring those voices is the best policy. myself, I find it iteresting to meet foreigners in Poland and learn about their experiences in my country, especially since only throughout recent years we see large increase in numbers of westerners visiting the place (except for the Germans, they've always been there, at least where I come from). don't worry mate, you want to go and have cheaper fun in Poland, GO AHEAD! :)
