Genealogy / Half Polish half Persian? I can't possibly be alone in the whole world with this mix? [34]

I know only one Polish Persian person. She's teenager, born in Poland, in Wrocław. And yes, i know much more half Arabs. Maybe it's just because there is much more Arabs?

Life / Polish movies with English subtitles [87]

Thanks guys!

Life / Polish movies with English subtitles [87]

Hey,
could any of you share English subtitles to ANY of Polish movies? Even if I have original copy, the are not translated. Now, if I buy in a shop, I often choose by the fact if they have subtitles or not, but generally, I have CDs from newspapers.

Yes, I have some favorite films, but to many to write titles (I'll just mention some in the end), and I know it's hard get subtitles. So I'd be happy with any- than it's easier to find, buy or download a film.

but these are just some, of course- as I said, I'll be happy with any help :)

Language / Mushroom: pieczarka vs grzyb [24]

Marysieńka- why usually? Pieczarka is always what it is, and it is in the picture :)

Language / Dzbanecznik as a synonym of alcohol? [10]

I've also heard "zalać robaka" and "topić smutki w alkoholu". It refers to drinking because of problems, of course to ease them, but the relief is on metnioned in those phrases, so that's probably not what you are looking for.

I think "trunek" is the best guess. There can also be "napitek".
Dinking "event" ;)- "popijawa", "pijatyka", "libacja". The two last, when it's really bad, hard party.

Love / How to find Asian Girlfriend in Poland [56]

Asia is huge and cannot be seen as one monolith. I think you need specify in which part of Asia you are interested.

Language / "to believe is to see?" - Getting a Tattoo in Polish and Want Proper Grammar! [30]

Now I understand. Wierzyć to widzieć can be ok, than. But still people will not know what it is about- but maybe it's even beter ;)

I like what boletus wrote- it's the closest Polish proverb to what you wrote.

Travel / Polski Bus experiences in Poland? [17]

I travelled with PolskiBus in Poland, and also to other countries. The prise is really good, buses are new and clean. Much better than PKS. Train is always more comfortable (if it's clean, which is not obvious in Poland) and goes much faster. Anyway- I will take PolskiBus in future again.

Love / How i can make a relationship with a Polish girl? [20]

It always makes my laugh when someone recommends Japanese partners since I hate Japan :P But I know, there is a lot of people crazy about all the things about it :)

Cant say much about Polish girls. It's nice to hear that we are pretty and nice (im not a good example, especially of the second thing ;) but are we really so different from other nations? Beauty is question of taste, for me Slav girls are pretty but i guess we are quite difficult to live with. The culture and tradition influence our character, the way we think and react- but as in any other society- everyone it different.

Sounds really funny when someone says "i want polish girlfriend" :P

Language / "to believe is to see?" - Getting a Tattoo in Polish and Want Proper Grammar! [30]

To be honest- "wierzyć to widzieć", however is grammatically correct, does not make any sense in Polish.
The expression "seeing is believing" or "to believe is to see" sounds: "zobaczyć to uwierzyć". But that means something like, that only seeing something through your own eyes can make you believe. Not what you want


Than I'd recommend "wierzyć to wiedzieć" (to believe is to know/believing is knowing) but still i would not be clear. Maybe "wiara to wiedza" (faith is knowledge) but is sounds very religious. There is no proverb like that, and nobody says like that. So maybe explain more, what you really want to tell with this tattoo- personally- I dont get it.

"Widać" can be explained as "visible", but visible as an adjective should be "widoczny" (in male form, singular), and "widać" is a verb. Haha, the Polish vitrual dictionary even says, that use in sense of "visible" is incorrect, and can only be used as a conclusion, ex: widać nie dałaś z siebie wszytkiego i nie wyszło- Hm... so the colclusion is that you didnt do your best, so it didnt work.
