News / Is it possible that Polish president was assasinated? If so then, by whom? [921]


Even that wouldn't fit-we're not as important for Russia as we think.I don't believe in "revenge crime" in this case.They could loose more than they could gain.In fact for Russia it'd be better if it never happened.Now the whole world hear about Katyń.

News / Is it possible that Polish president was assasinated? If so then, by whom? [921]


I don't see any point in this.It's not like Poland is going to disappear because of that crash.Of course it's a tragedy but we'll go trough it.

Genealogy / Hanna Najbar - Urgent help for contacting someone in Wroclaw... [3]

Try to find nasza-klasa.pl on this forum.After that find this girl there and send her a massage.

Language / Optimal word order in: Czy dobrze się wczoraj bawiłaś? [22]

I think it could be free,drunken "Round the World" tour :D Remember that Polish ppl are everywhere :D
It's really nice to have him on PF.Every time I think I won't be able to learn Russian I'm looking at something he wrote in Polish and my mood is better :D

Language / Optimal word order in: Czy dobrze się wczoraj bawiłaś? [22]


Even native speakers look bad compared to him :D I also would like to buy him a beer :D Not only because of his linguistic skills but because I agree with almost everything he says :D

History / A rare Polish medal [14]

Actually it wouldn't be so stupid idea.It's the thing Polish ppl never learn-that sometimes it's wise to just keep your head low.I love it but it also gave us some hard times.

Love / What are the most popular ethnicities for Polish women [90]

I would say that the ethnic is unimportant-the character of a person is what counts.

News / Did you know that Polish army is the weakest in Central Europe?.. [150]


So you really don't know.We can defend many kilometers of forest?The whole Bieszczady area?"Zielony Szlak" begins in Ukraine or Bielarus and ends in Poland.If you know where you should go you can come to Poland.


I'm not your niunia and of course I'm boring because it's better to say that Polish army is weak without any proof.I'm not arguing with your statement because I don't know any statistics myself,but as I can see you don't know them either.

News / Did you know that Polish army is the weakest in Central Europe?.. [150]

Maybe some comparative research made by independent institute?And I don't say that we have great army-I just don't see any reliable background here.

News / Did you know that Polish army is the weakest in Central Europe?.. [150]

As I understand wiki is the most reliable source of informations...I really hope that you are not serious.


Did you heard about "Zielony Szlak"?We can't really defend that border.

News / Did you know that Polish army is the weakest in Central Europe?.. [150]

I wonder...where did you get such informations?

Life / Womans day in Poland? [242]

Teachers also want to have some fun after children go home:D

UK, Ireland / Polish people in the UK using the English version of their name? [56]

My cousin name is Małgorzata but when she moved to Germany everybody changed it into Margot. She didn't want them to call her that and every time she said "I'm not Margot-I'm Małgorzata". Now she's living there 20 years but she still is using her original name. If you want to keep your real name you have to be prepared for problems with pronunciation and spelling.

Love / Do Polish women have bad tempers? [49]

Of course we have bad tempers.We also have fur on all our bodes and huge claws.We bite and rip off our victims :D Stop generalizing.If you have problems with your girl don't speak about whole group of ppl.

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

Yes.

Life / For all the black people living in Warsaw, where do you get your hair cut? [39]


Take a look at some biology books.Of course they don't need diifferent barbers but they need barbers that know what they're doing.

Love / Polish girlfriend going back to Poland if I dont buy engagment ring [85]

It depends.If you get her a ring for 20 zł and you get 3000 zł per month it's really too cheap.And it's not about the money-it's about how much you value her love.If it was expensive for you then you should run away as fast as you can.

Life / You are Polish if... [433]


Yes,it's loosing now but still many people think like that.I really hate cleaning but something in my mind tells me that at Saturday I have to do this:D

Life / You are Polish if... [433]

When you think that the world will come to an end if you won't clean all your house at Saturday :D

Language / Slovio - the international simplified Slavic language [37]

I'm truly against any simplifications. Slavs can communicate quite good already and this kind of changes ruins,in my opinion,the original language and doesn't help anyone.

Language / Why in the world there are three ways to write simple U ?!?! [54]

Even if there is no difference in pronunciation right now there is reason why we still use f.e. "rz" and "ż"-there're words that means different things just because of orthography:

morze-sea
moze-maybe
So don't tell me this is meaningless.

Language / ów its meaning [11]

It's usually used in orthography tests as they are only few words beginning whit "ó" :D
There is also the word "ówczesny" :D

Language / że & iż [16]

In spoken language it's really rarely used but you can still hear this sometimes.In written language it's still in use as you said to avoid repetition.

Love / Is she genuine? - I would like some advice please re a Polish girl. [130]


You are right but cartoons have other problem-she can tell "The Smurfs"and it wouldn't say anything.The only really reliable test is...to check her ID or passport.But I'm quite sure that option is unavailable.

Love / Is she genuine? - I would like some advice please re a Polish girl. [130]

May be,we eat a lot of potatoes:D But other nations also so better ask her for cartoons.

I still think the "cartoon test" is pretty good idea but you can also ask her for her favorite old films.

Language / When do you use 'się'? And what does it mean? [37]

It's really hard to explain.Your friend was quite right-it's used as "self" but some other verbs also requires "się".

zaimek zwrotny, używany...
(1.1) ...w stronie zwrotnej (konstrukcji, w której wykonawca lub wykonawcy czynności jednocześnie doznają jej skutków), siebie
(1.2) ...jako forma bezosobowa
(1.3) ...dla oznaczenia zbiorowści wykonującej czynność

przykłady:
(1.1) Krzysztof poruszył się przez sen.
(1.1) Anna umyła się.
(1.2) Robi się późno.
(1.3) Mówi się, że Janek ma ożenić się z Judytą.

I'll try to translate it:
"się" is used in three situations:
(1.1)...when the person feels the consequence(it's not good translation but the best I could give) as in "self"
(1.2)..as a impersonal form(???),when you don't know who had done sth
(1.3)...when there are group doing sth

e.g.:
(1.1)Krzysztof moved when he was asleep
(1.1)Anna washed herself
(1.2)It's getting late
(1.3)It's said that Janek is getting married with Judyta

I don't know if I made it any clearer but I've tried

USA, Canada / Differences in How Polish People Raise a Child and How Americans Raise a Child [149]


It can be.Kids are learning really fast and if you are responding to eagerly your child will use it against you.Of course not right away but soon.They know that their mothers can't stand them crying and then learn when and how use it to get what they want.

Language / 'ucha' [23]

You are right-another thing that I forgot to mention.

Language / Polish and Hungarian, how similar? [53]

From what I know there are few similarities(few words in common) but not as many as to understand Hungarian without learning it.

Language / 'ucha' [23]

In polish you have 7 cases.You have to check witch one to use when you want to say something grammatically correct.
Mianownik:To jest ucho-it's the ear
Dopełniacz:Temu pomnikowi brakuje ucha-this sculpture is missing the ear
Celownik:Czemu się tak przyglądasz?Twojemu uchu.-What are you looking at?At your ear.
Biernik:Co widzisz?Ucho.What can you see?Ear.
Narzędnik:Co cię boli?Mam problem z uchem.-What's wrong with you?I've problem with my ear.
Miejscownik:O czym rozmawiacie?O moim uchu-What are you talking about?About my ear.
If it's not enough let me know I'll try to explain it differently or maybe someone else is a better teacher:D

I almost forgot about one more thing:
Some people(poor educated or making a joke)use the word "ucha" for plural form(ears?)but it's not correct.
