Love / My husband is Polish and I was wondering why he drinks all the time. [66]


ridiculous! actually probably not. but six drinks isn't all that much, especially if he's drinking alot. 8 beers/shots used to be my driving limit. which, is obviously pretty stupid, but it wasn't until i had about 20 that i flipped a car. i still drink alot (not right now i'm stuck somewhere where i can't again), granted not the 18-20 beers a night like i used to, but still drink alot. not because i'm Polish though...im American :P

Off-Topic / What's your connection with Poland? Penpals. [512]

USA, Canada / American people attitude towards Poles in the USA [98]

i want to learn polish, but not many places where i'm from have it. i learned russian in the military. they used to teach polish at the SOF language school, but its not as "useful" as russian so they say.

USA, Canada / American people attitude towards Poles in the USA [98]


lol, good one :)

USA, Canada / American people attitude towards Poles in the USA [98]

USA, Canada / American people attitude towards Poles in the USA [98]

USA, Canada / American people attitude towards Poles in the USA [98]


ditto. when i was at Basic i heard Polish jokes all the time. but thats exactly what they are...jokes. this world is becoming way to politically correct for me, when no one can take a simple joke.

History / What do Poles think about Turks? [761]

i don't think about them at all. I pretty much focus on myself :D

Life / What is going on in Polish Music [128]

like i said, there's a few i like alot, but i still don't really listen to it that much, i'm more into songs based on the music aspect (being a part time musician :D)

Life / What is going on in Polish Music [128]

i mean, i don't like rap in general, but i've found more russian rap groups that i like versus american ones, all i'm saying.

Life / What is going on in Polish Music [128]

most of it. there's a few i like, i'm just not a fan of what they percieve to be "cool" in general. which is another reason i don't like it.

USA, Canada / Where on the net can I buy Polish language books/novels/math in the US? [26]

Life / What is going on in Polish Music [128]

I hate american rap but i like foreign rap, especially when i can understand it! I don't like the lyrics of american rap. Just retarded

Life / Polish Movies and News with subtitles to learn Polish language [24]

i have i think two polish movies, i've watched one, but can't really remember what its about. and i have one called "The Promised Land"...or something like that.

Language / Bought "Rosetta Stone" software and trying to learn Polish... [59]


if its anything like russian than it has crazy hard grammar. I've heard some of the more baltic areas have really tough grammar. idk, i don't know nearly enough polish to contribute anything to this. so i apologize.

Law / how do i change my Polish last name [40]

I can't remember when the first time i met another -ski was. I met other people with polish heritage, but they all had "normal" american names. I think one of the first -ski's i met was at basic training, i Solarsky, i asked him if he was russian, cause i thought because the y it wasn't polish, then he told me it was polish. I was like "Finally!" i know a guy in the army from Chicago who speaks polish, and i try to talk to him in polish when i see him, but i don't know enough to really hold any conversation. He always asked me about russian and we try and compare russian to polish. which is fun...i guess

Law / how do i change my Polish last name [40]


Yeah, sometimes i do that. It's funny cause some of them really think its the first time i've heard that.

When i was younger i hated my last name, cause i had never met a -ski (or any other person with a polish name), but when i got in high school i started loving it. I wouldn't want anything else. At the tattoo shop i frequent (once or a twice a week for 2-4 hours...at least!) i'm know as the "Pole" or "the Pollock" (sp?) whats funny is the guy that calls me that is Polish!! he said he used to speak polish alot with his grandmother till he was 7, but it pretty much stopped when she passed away, i guess his parents didn't bother speaking it with him. anyways, the point is...i love my last name. haha

Law / how do i change my Polish last name [40]

try living with nowiski...the thing i hear more than people calling me dirk is "Nowiski...SUCKS FOR YOU!!" or "If that was my last name i'd change it to YESwiski" I just stand there with a blank face.

Law / how do i change my Polish last name [40]

people add an extra n in front of the ski on mine...i don't know why.

Life / What is going on in Polish Music [128]

that's the majority of what i can find of polish music, is death metal and the like. My brother's real big into the death metal and black metal, he listens to some of the polish metal bands, not cause they're polish jsut cause they are awesome (in his opinion).

Polish has some pretty good jazz i think. And i liked that band CAMO or whoever, someone put a video on the "Polish Music Video" topic.

Law / how do i change my Polish last name [40]
