Language / It is not possible to translate names into English or Polish! [52]

even it takes some time to get used to pronounce it...:-)

What if it takes too long to get used to pronounce it by an English speaker?

I have a mate called Marcin and all the English call him Martin cause non of them is even close to say Marcin correctly. And he wouldn't tolerate someone mispronouncing his name in some awkward way which is fair enough, especially when you can translate it to English that is nice and easy.

If you yourself don't like your name you are free to change it, if not.......

What if you like your name but you don't like the way that English speakers mispronounce it?

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

Germans and Austrians use so many French words, such as "Portemonnaie" for "wallet".

We use this word in Polish too

I'm just waiting for 'Ciapaki' to reach Poland...

This actually is a Polish word

Language / Speaking with wrong Polish case endings? [94]

don't worry about it. I used to pronounce word funny like fanny for several years in England cause I didn't realize it is a different vowel sound. No one ever asked me why I say vagina instead of hilarious

Life / Do Poles wear (patriotic) Polish clothing abroad? [6]

When I was a kid I used to wear a t-shirt witch my God's Mom gave me, it was probably bought like 25 years ago in Chicago where she lived at the time.

I would love to have same t-shirt again. Any idea how can I get it? I live in UK England now.
