Language / I would like to make a collection of beautiful and/or funny polish quotes [30]

I was trying to find something but I just cannot think of suitable words.Maybe someone else would be able to help you

History / Welcome to Lemmingrad! [59]


I know there's very little possibility but...I still have nightmares after the first time :)


You can vote wherever you want.Take a certificate from the place where you're registered and you can do what you want.

History / Welcome to Lemmingrad! [59]

Yes,but not necessarily at the day of elections.I agree it's not great solution but at least we have this.Thanks to this I was able to vote the last time.

News / PiS-PSL-LPR? [23]

You're determined to frighten me.
There two groups of ppl:
1-ppl who respect and pay attention to everything that happens even if they don't like it
2-ppl who ignore the reality and pay attention only to the things they think are right.
Polonius you're the second type
I was a student when PiS ruled and belive me-the vaaaaaaaaast majority of young ppl were repulsed by the actions of government.It may be hard for you to acknowledge but either you like it or not young ppl are going to choose.

News / PiS-PSL-LPR? [23]


I would denay it.Maybe this opinion wasn't so popular back in the 2005 but many ppl thought they're nuts.

USA, Canada / Emigrate from the USA - the sequence of events [207]


It's a standard in half civilised countries.If it wasn't like that in U.S. I would indeed call it a third world country. :)

Language / Polish slang phrases - most popular. [606]

LilBitCountry
Do you know real phonetic simbols?From what you typed I only can see:
tʌtʃɪ ʃiːbnʌ hɒledʌ
And it sounds more like Czech than Polish.

USA, Canada / Emigrate from the USA - the sequence of events [207]


I read it all,laughed (bacause of the way this tread changed it course) and only then decided to replay.I know you can get help in U.S. but the discussion is about the prices.I've never been in the States so I cannot say how it really is but the argument that in life threatening situations you can get help is useless.Surely you'd get a bill afterwards?

Genealogy / Help Needed In Finding Maciejewska Family members. [10]

Do you know why your mother don't want to talk about it?

Genealogy / Help Needed In Finding Maciejewska Family members. [10]

I'm sorry.When did she leave Poland?

History / Polish relation about Russians, Ukrainians? [281]

I like Russians and Ukrainians (in my imagination that is, since I don't really know any) and as to the language...
Not one of my friends can understand a Russian sentence.Before I started to learn Russian I could only hear single words but after I learnt a thing or two Russian vocabulary was quite easy.The thing is that you have to learn some rules and then it's like opening the door-suddenly you see all the similarities.I have to disappoint you Vlad -most Poles don't understand Russian and Czech or Slovakian would be much more legible to them.


Incarnation of Crow :D

P.S.Vlad pls don't say that we were saved by Soviet Union in WWII.We were stabbed in the back is more like it.

History / Polish relation about Russians, Ukrainians? [281]

To like something and to be obsessed by sth are two different things.I liked his idea that Slavic countries should help each other but most of the time I thought he was living in alternative world

History / Polish relation about Russians, Ukrainians? [281]


We were!As well as under Russians.We can concentrate on the second part of the WWII but don't forget it started in 1939.What would happen if USSR helped Poland instead of invading?

Language / IS "MURZYN" word RACIST? [686]

pip
Excuse me?What kind of colours would you like?
And the name INDIAN ocean is also racist or does it apply only to Polish?

USA, Canada / Emigrate from the USA - the sequence of events [207]



My uncle (Germany) also wanted to retire to Poland but he though about it and decided to stay in G.Most ppl want to come back because of sentimental reasons but forget that during their emigration many things changed,ppl got married,had kids and even died.No-one will stop their lives just for them.So when they come back after many years they find out that it's not the country they have left.

Language / IS "MURZYN" word RACIST? [686]


Oh,excuse me.I fought that this was easy.
Listen,of course there are different skin tones but with the colour of the skin there are some basic rules.Yes it connected with race and with some biological differences but either way human race recognises few skin colours.

Black person,Afro-American,Murzyn-person with high melanin level
White,Coucasian-person with low melanin level
Asians -moderate melanin level.
There is nothing more to add.Maybe you should tell us how you express this differences?Or maybe you're pretending these diferences don't exist?

Hindusi-ppl from India
Indianie-native Americans
Aborygeni-Aborigens(native ppl of different continents mosly used in term of native Australians

Law / Real wages drop in Poland [28]

Drop the teaching-it's only one proffesion.I also haven't noticed anything spectacular.My family is safe since they work in public companies but even my friends that work in private sector earn the same.

The jobs I'm mentioning:accountant,railwayman,job in prison,restaurants and supermarkets.

Language / IS "MURZYN" word RACIST? [686]


That wouldn't be racist at all :D Indyjski refers only to THINGS.Yeah,that would be great.


Here goes oversensitvity-rodowity means native and why should we necessarily use that.After all I don't ask ppl to call me Native Caucasian or Native European.


Yes you can but you would add Kanadyjscy,Amerykańscy.
As to colours-I'm not an expert in that but pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lista_kolor%C3%B3w

History / Polish relation about Russians, Ukrainians? [281]


First:Some dumb idiots wanted to fight and found excuse to do so.
Second-Maybe Figuski meant it as a joke but it turned out horribly and he should ackowledge it and very sincerly say that he's sorry.


Probably that was the point


It's Sienkiewicz book so in that time ppl probably thoght that they were our enemies.

Language / IS "MURZYN" word RACIST? [686]


It's interesting how you skipped the part in which I told you that Indyjski is absolutely incorrect due to Polish grammar.

One more time you skipped important information.
Let's get one thing clear-you think our language is primitive and so be it.Just give us the right to decide what's right for us.We like our language and want it to be the way it is.

It's gettin so frustrating.Many ppl are trying to explain it but you refuse to listen.Just give it a break if you don't want to learn anything.

History / Polish relation about Russians, Ukrainians? [281]


You have every right to feel sad if you want to.


I don't like Sienkiewicz to much but I like this movie (Domagarow,mmmmmmmmm :D).And even if I wouldn't like it-it's a part of Polish culture.


Seriously?I would like to see that movie.I would laugh so hard

Language / IS "MURZYN" word RACIST? [686]


How did I insult you?You're the one who uses expressions like "primitive" or "how they really are"


Yes,we borrow some words but that doesn't mean we should change the words that have been used for a long time


Agreed but who is to decide?You?


This shows great openess.


I do feel respect for other cultures I just don't like the way you think the respect should be shown

History / Polish relation about Russians, Ukrainians? [281]


In the book she saw how he murdered ppl and that's why she was so against him.Btw many woman preffered Bogun (in the movie) than Skrzetuski

History / Polish relation about Russians, Ukrainians? [281]


I was raised on this story and I don't have anything against Ukrainians.

History / Polish relation about Russians, Ukrainians? [281]

You insinuated it but I don't mind.I wanted to tell that you may be raised on movies like that and still be friendly to other cultures.

Po polsku / Dlaczego uczysz się Polskiego? [101]


I agree.
Homogenik
You're marvelous.So many ppl here learn Polish and they are so great in it.It never fails to amaze me.Good job and keep working

P.S.Why your mother
Powyżej macie przykład tego,jakie sztuczki robi mi mój umysł.Pisząc na PF automatycznie "przeskakuje" na angielski (jakikolwiek by on nie był)A więc teraz po polsku


Zgadzam sie.
Homogenik
Jesteś niesamowity.Tak wielu ludzi uczy się polskiego i są w tym świetni.Zawsze mnie to zadziwia.
P.S.Homogenik-czemu Mama nie uczyła Cię polskiego?

Po polsku / Dlaczego uczysz się Polskiego? [101]

To już jest automat :) Chociaż nie powinnam narzekać-to jest właśnie to co zawsze chciałam osiągnąć-nawet nie zauważyć kiedy przechodzę na angielski:)Osiągnęłam swój cel :D

Po polsku / Dlaczego uczysz się Polskiego? [101]


Dopóki to był tylko angielski dawałam sobie radę,ale po rosyjskim?Czasami mam wrażenie,że uczenie się jezyków obcych,w moim przypadku,żle wpływa na moją znajomość języka ojczystego.Najgorsza noc?Położyłam się do łóżka i jak zwykle zaczełam wyobrażać sobie różne rzeczy.Po polsku.Potem przerzuciłam się na angielski-jeszcze było w porządku,ale potem...znowu się przerzuciłam-tym razem na rosyjski...i bum-blokada.Wybudziłam się,bo nie mogłam śnić w języku,którego zaczęłam się uczyć 2 miesiące wcześniej.Nie spałam pół nocy,bo za słabo znałam rosyjski. :D
