Love / Do Polish men find African American women attractive? [25]

Where in Poland are u going to be? u may get some strange looks if u will be in some small towns or villages (some Poles have seen black people only on TV). But in Warszawa or Krakow or any other bigger city i dont expect they will make u feel unwelcomed.

Love / Do Polish men find African American women attractive? [25]

It depends on your Polish friend. If s/he will leave u out, wont translate anything for u, not engage u in discussion with his/her friends then u may feel lonely. But other than that i dont see any problems.

If you are nice etc then they will be nice to u in return. Polish guys are just the same as any other guys.

Life / WHY DO POLES USE ENGLISH WORDS IN CONVERSATION? [396]


I dont have any problem with u really; it's just if we agreed on everything we would have nothing to talk about ;)

And i corrected the word only coz it seemed funny :P I did google it too lol


lol
I like zupa kartoflana but i havent had it for ages. And with kartofle - u were right about using some words in normal speach and different ones when giving a talk at the conference for instance. It doesnt make anyone common, it's just normal.

:)

You googled the word or u didnt have the font? I thought you can write in Polish well. Well, it seems u do from your posts in Polish (i had to check the spelling myself though, i only knew it cant be dź lol )

Life / How do Polish people see homosexuality? [152]

Why a gay man cant give blood at all? or actually any man who had sex with other man, even once many years ago...

Life / WHY DO POLES USE ENGLISH WORDS IN CONVERSATION? [396]


No, it's "menedżer".


Maybe you can give some example? and as u said it's ADOPTED so the pronounciation of adoped word in Polish doesnt need to be the same as original pronounciation or i misunderstood? But the correcting thing is annoying, i agree (you are very touchy btw).

Life / How do Polish people see homosexuality? [152]


Well, there is discussion about that still. I m a blood donor and in the UK (and in many other countries) men who had sex with other men are banned for life from giving their blood. Here is the link to the article

news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/10163222.stm

Obviously they must have some arguments to keep the ban even if it is very criticised nowadays.

Life / Help me find this Polish band and song.... [117]

I dont know this one but he was talking about seed :S

Life / Help me find this Polish band and song.... [117]

I think if it was sang by his grandma it would be something like Chłop sieje zboże etc
It seems more like an old song to me but dunno really, nothing comes to my mind.

Life / Help me find this Polish band and song.... [117]

I tried to find it as well but could not either. We need more text to be able to track it down... at least one sentence or few more words in Polish coz if it is an old song so perhaps it wont have the modern Polish words in it...

Life / WHY DO POLES USE ENGLISH WORDS IN CONVERSATION? [396]

Actually there is a word in Polish such as bekon as well. Also manager (manadżer) is functioning for at least 20 years if not longer. That's normal thing to happen - borrowing words from other languages. I think i dont have such problems with taking words from other languages as with changing POLISH words to make them sound more like eg English. The example would be dzięks :S

UK, Ireland / Are Polish people importing a new wave of ancient racism into the UK? [402]


Perhaps u just gave her another confirmation of her opinions lol

UK, Ireland / Are Polish people importing a new wave of ancient racism into the UK? [402]

There is always the mistake people make - they get one thing and another and they think one is the reason of the other. Same as in the article about cows which give more milk when they are given name. The person who wrote article somehow didnt see that the cows who have own names are more cared for and thats the reason they give more milk and not just the name itself...

English people use English names to call cities. Why English speaking person would use GERMAN name to call a Polish city?

*thinks it's pretty obvious why it may be offensive for Poles*


LOL

Off-Topic / PF - The Omnibus Edition [1502]

Why would you call POLISH capital city using GERMAN name when talking in ENGLISH? You certainly have some ideas why Poles may not like it...

Language / będzie potrafił? [34]


Yes


Um yes but depends on the reason why u cant go to the cinema (with someone?) like - nie potrafie z nia isc do kina (eg coz of the memories going to the cinema is too painful).

Potrafic is more about ability, like - nie potrafie grac na skrzypcach, nie potrafie skakac wzwyz, nie potrafie zapomniec o tobie etc

Life / SOME OBSERVATIONS ABOUT POLAND AND POLISH SOCIETY [297]


There are lots of Poles working in the UK as cashiers... you never know who they really are.

Life / SOME OBSERVATIONS ABOUT POLAND AND POLISH SOCIETY [297]

There is one post office in central London where the cashiers are extremelly slow and guess what, they are Indians! the guys are ok though.

Life / SOME OBSERVATIONS ABOUT POLAND AND POLISH SOCIETY [297]


They didnt disappear, they just decided the best way to deal with this kind of person as u is to ignore him.

Life / SOME OBSERVATIONS ABOUT POLAND AND POLISH SOCIETY [297]


I guess Indian men prefer women with big noses.


Yeah thats true but we dont have many foreigners in Poland so i guess that's the reason. I dont know why when abroad Poles still dont really like to try new things though.

Language / będzie potrafił? [34]

"Umiec" is more to do with the things you have learned, with the knowledge while "potrafic" has more to do with the natural ability in some direction. But the distinction is not clear and the words can be exchanged.

Eg. nie umiem tego zrobic - coz i havent learned how to do it;
nie potrafie tego zrobic - i cant do it coz it is beyond my natural abilities even if i tried hard to learn

Never heard of her. Is it some actress from Bollywood?


Yeah, i agree on that. People in Poland tend to eat only Polish food and when they are abroad nothing changes much.

Language / Polish regional accents? [141]


Yes, there is formal and informal language.

Btw i am happy that this time mothers stayed away from the discussion! lmao

Language / Polish regional accents? [141]

Ziemniak, inne nazwy stosowane w Polsce
* barabola – gwara kresowa – Lwów
* kompera – język łemkowski
* kartofel (z niem. Kartoffel) – zwłaszcza dialekt śląski, ale także w całym kraju
* pyra – gwara poznańska
* grula – gwara góralska (wschodnie Podhale)
* bulwa – język kaszubski
* perka (dawniej) od Peru
* rzepa – Orawa, zachodnie Podhale
* swapka – Orawa

I didnt mean to offend anyone, sorry if i did. In literature people use ziemniak but when they want to imitate eg villagers they use kartofel.


It's not only regional thing - it is used everywhere in Poland actually but more formal name would be ziemniak.

Language / Polish regional accents? [141]

Well, dunno but that's how it is seen in Poland, no offence :P
