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

I live in Belgrade, and my friends are more and more using english words in everyday communication. I honestly don't understand this phenomenon when we have in our language words that are almost completely equivalent.

Unfortunately, we all are witnesses of language colonisation, general anglization? Visible in culture (music, movies, fortunately literature is still not giving up) noticeable everywhere, especially in those countries that don't have a critical standpoint towards the powerful ones.

It's not just a simple evolutionary process, it is a consequence of subordinated positions other non english nations have.That explains why for example, turkish language is not present in german, as much as english, although one million turks live there. Their social -economical status is not allowing them to fertilize german with more turcisms (not counting few words for fast food). Similar situation is visible in french that's not influenced by arabic, english untouched by ex colonies languages, etc.

I see this only in terms of domination-subordination.
Also, that is I guess, the explanation why i do not speak a single word chinese evn though 20.000 are living within a few km distance. English I can see on every corner.

So, with apologies for the length of this post, I will finish with this question:
Why native english speakers don't use polish, german, russian or swedish words ?

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

Look. Ottomans have controlled balkans and arab lands for more than 500 years, but, Balkan people (except Turks immigrated to Balkans) and Arabs don't speak Turkish at all.

That's a mistake.
South slavic languages are FULL of turkish words, especially parts of south and central Serbia, FYR Macedonia, Montenegro and of course Bosnia and Herzegovina were it's flowerishing again ( thanks to islamization of that part of ex YU).

Turkish words we use everyday, not knowing mostly that they were implanted here during turkish invasion and occupation of southern Europe.
So, turkish words are still here, disappearing slowely but definetly from serbian,and now we
have a different sovereign and new influence.

I think we said the same thing.

I would say get used to it, it makes no sense to resist it; you'll fight a losing battle.

.

hehe.....Friendly advise, but unfriendly message in essance.

It's not an external attempt of taking over a country's culture, just the normal flow of things.

That others also don't percieve it as a normal flow, and don't see it as a lost battle, is visible by attempts (with some success) in WESTERN european countries fighting to preserve their own language and identity via legislation that's taking care of presence of english language in media.

France, Germany, Spain.....
Right?

History / Lusatian-Sarmatic obsession of Poles [153]

You Balkanists...Remember old Bismarck, he was not so stupid.

That's just primitive.
Educated man from civilized western hemisphere quoting Bismarck about Balkans, that is so ruining my idealized picture of society you were raised in. Oh no, wait, that is not possible..:))

Where to look now?Where?
Who will guide us?
This is funny.

History / Lusatian-Sarmatic obsession of Poles [153]

Probably he saw a nightmare.

Freud would say....every dream even the one that feels like a nightmare is fullfillment of a wish, something you can not achieve in real life. My guess would be that he felt guilt, and wanted on his deathbed to undo injustice to serbs.

If it was his last dream, I assume it was really important for him.

History / Lusatian-Sarmatic obsession of Poles [153]

You really believe that sh*it? That Bismarck's last words had been Serbia of all things??? ROFLMAO

Bismarck was an intro for the biggest failure in german history resulting in millions of dead.
You lost parts of your country . Your country was flattened.
You were occupied by russian and american troops (others irrelevant).
And when I visited last time Germany there where still hundreds of thousands of foreign soldiers (?!). I saw towns that belong only on the map to Germany.

Consequence of ideas like his.
I would think twice if I were you.

Little bit of psychology now...I can see that you like to give people nicknames with pejorative meaning.
The usual explanation for that is that some feeling of inferiority is bothering you, so you have to humiliate another person to feel good about yourself. (just theory, not me;))

History / Lusatian-Sarmatic obsession of Poles [153]

Last time I looked Bismarck retired before the first WW...are you mixing him up with Hitler??? I wonder where you get your history from? Or did you get any at all?

poster

This is a poster of Nazi propaganda. Nazi propaganda widely used Bismarck's ideas for their purposes, and that is what i meant. Not knowing it, you couldn't understand. It is sad that a woman from Serbia has to give history (german!!!) lessons to obviously culturally deprivated german.

that was why i said :(

NOW :)))))))))

Friedrich II (1712-1786); Otto v. Bismarck (1815-1898);
Paul v. Hindenburg (1847-1934); Adolf Hitler (1889-1945)

Which German would want to spoil it's genepool with stupids in the first place?

Dr Carl Clauberg like you hade the same ideas but no mirror.
He was halfblind,halfbold, fat, small and with questionable cognitive capacities.
His victims were also Polish women, he sterilized to prevent Polish employees mix with his superior race.

Love / Love without chemistry? (Asian in love with a Polish woman) [195]

Welcome to the wonderful and frightening world of southern, our Greek adonis who has dated every Slavic woman in the Northern Hemisphere.

Good description of feelings southern is provoking.

As a woman, I can say that he is in a way very interesting, and with his liberated and overtly expressed sexual drive a little bit unusual. Pazi da ne prelaziš onu finu liniiju, S....:)

Anyway, I like him.

She likes me, and appreciates my care for her, but has no chemistry with me regarding physical attractiveness. For various reasons, she may consider living with me as her boyfriend.

This really sounds bad, especially because Slavic women (all I presume), as far as I know, like very much that physical aspect of a relationship is functioning. But, I wouldn't completely reject the idea that she may develop some stronger bondage with you. For many different personal reasons, she may be inhibited, dislike closeness....

But, I wouldn't count on that too much.

Did she talk to you about her previous relationships ? That can be informative.

I am thinking whether she, or Polish women, would fall for a pure Brain type.

Some might. Maybe yours also. But why would YOU agree not to be appreciated as a man, completely? Sounds a little bit self defeating.

You wish.

You also wish you had less problems.

Time to turn "Croatian-mode" on.

I know for your problems with insight. Working experience.

Mine are compared to yours minor.

Are you testing your humorous side? It's weak.

Love / Love without chemistry? (Asian in love with a Polish woman) [195]

Can you believe that I have met a girl who told she liked short fat guys?

Yes, and with small but delicate weapon?
Motives doubtful.
I never met anybody who prefers fat over athletic (slim), but I saw many compromises.
Obese with something else to offer. Trade.

Hm, how do you explain that a fat guy can just about forget his chances with women while fat women nearly always find a guy?

Incorrect in my area. Undisciplined ones are home crying and counting calories.
Men, on the other side are a little bit less obliged to stay in good shape.

Yes,a completely germanophile phantasy.

I wouldn't be so cruel, there are good sides, like
warmth in personal contact, extreme sensuality, generous nature, sociability, understanding and care for others feelings, flexibility, open mindedness, superb hedonistic life style and very peaceful nature visible through rarely seen respect for other nations.

Of course, not to forget, aesthetic aspirations......

I can't stop:)

History / Christian Crusaders and Teutonic order in Poland [11]

Wow, those were harsh words..maybe someone here want to elaborate on that theory...

Inform yourself.

" The effects of the Crusades were mainly felt in Europe and in the Byzantine Empire, not in the Middle East....

The Crusades had bolstered the commerce of the Italian cities. The plan succeeded - the only nation rich in culture, science, wealth, and art was destroyed - forever. Byzantines and Constantinoples, Byzantine art, economy, byzantine culture was newer again the same. The World has changed completely. After 1204 we can say - they took not only all the riches from Constantinoples. They took the history with them. And they were called "Crusades"! And even today - they shamelessly believe that bronze horses at Venice in front of St. Marco church really belong to them. They really believe that all the icons, golden jewellery and Imperial Crowns belong to them. "

Love / Polish Girl & Me...Is She Interested? [57]

To me, it looks like you already filed her as "prostitute (or kind of a prostitute)", and that you are looking here for the support to confirm your thoughts about her.

Using just this fact it seems that relationship with her is without future.

Anyway, the easiest way to get along with partner is to find someone with similar social, economical status, background, values, ideas about life. No headaches if you choose that way.

Multicultural couples have to deal with many differences that require patience, feelings of uncertainty, confusion, etc.
Usually, those problems are not solvable on forums.

I am sorry, but the thread starter is doing what a reasonably thinking man does if faced with such a dilemma. He asks for a second opinion before making a decision.

He already made up his mind.

You don't see that?

News / Poland - the least liked German neighbour. [210]

i just have yet to meet (in person) a real German that will not try to judge be based on my nationality,

I don't think that is possible in this universe.

I had an opportunity to get to know really good a decent German family, average and ordinary in every way, in many ways good example for other families. There I heard quite frequent ugly comments for all foreigners ( to be honest, excluding Scandinavian), wrapped in a nice package but still bad....

I heard also something about Polish people from them. It was, let's just say, not nice....

But Bratwurst is right about something else, after 2,3 generations, it is possible for Polish people to be treated almost equally, if they become loyal Germans and forget their origins.

This family had an ex Polish (now German) family for friends. But we all had to hear that their families came once from Poland (....about equality....).

No wonder, somehow you make people dislike you...what did you do this time?

News / Poland - the least liked German neighbour. [210]

Poles will never really love Germans if they continue to be so ignorant.

Give up hoping.

Are you saying they have a better opinion of Russians?

Widely spread opinion about Russians is not better then opinion about Polish, they are just afraid of them.
I guess WWII (Stalingrad) was a lesson not to underestimate them.

As far as I saw,mostly Germans have love only for themselves, they can tolerate, sometimes respect others, but love... not popular word there.
"No effort existing will be able to warm up your cold blood, and you know that better than me. Then why writing?", AP Chekhov, The story of an unknown man

A Polish girl who's lived in Austria for 20 years told me there is still a big divide between west and east Europe.

Of course. In one of the adds (British link) while looking to rent a house in Spain, there was written ...."we are not renting to eastern (new) EU citizens...". Owner was guess who? German.

I'm here writing about that part of German nation similar in their Weltanschauung to Bratwurst.
They have also decent, smart and educated people there too. Rammstein for example.

Genealogy / Do Polish people have big noses? [451]

Germanic nose is symmetric.Slavic nose is a huge issue very variable.

They wouldn't allow that something is out of order. Even nose.
Slavic people are more tolerable to differences. Including variety of noses.
