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

Dzbanecznik or dzbaneczek ?

we have dzban - jug (rather big one)
diminutive dzbanek- small jug
diminutive dzbaneczek- even smaller jug

that is very literal translation, but then very litte jug seems appropriate if you are talking about wine. - it doesn't feel like what you wanted to describe

"Sięgać/ sięgnąć po kieliszek" - literally - reach for a glass - turn to alcohol in search for relief/ to feel better and so on

"Zaglądać do kieliszka" - look into the glass - if we talk about the problem

Those two expressions do not specify what kind of alcoholic drink it is, but we don't drink beer from "kieliszek"


- I would say trunek means just any alcoholic drink

And that is what happens when you comment at 2 at the morning, and are not fluent in a language.. I wanted to say "Słowianie" :( I think it should have been "Slavs"

You don't have to believe me. It's not like people commenting on that post believe the guy. Some think he is in Poland and jealous of other. I think both are equally possible, but the guy claims " I make mistakes, because I was raised in USA , my parents are Polish, I live in UK long-term. "

As I live in homogeneous society where 99% people are Slaves and most of them Poles, and I meet different people: liars, con-men, sluts, cheaters, and decent people I would assume some Poles are not "perfect". But only I know people who went back to Poland, after they found out about pregnancy, and know of people, who live in UK for years now work hard and raise their kids there.

Tommy, I think this guy is genuine, from what I read, he is Polish-American living in UK, and hates Poles, also this comment is from Onet. Nobody takes comments on Onet seriously, it's place to spit on everybody.

Life / Good account of Poland's Andrzejki? [23]

"andrzejki" is for girls and "Katarzynki" is for boys to "predict future". And mostly the last Saturday before Advent is called "Andrzejki" and is an opportunity for a celebration. For kids at primary schools, teenagers , young adults and up to elderly people on "dancing".

Food / How common GMO Food in Poland is? [25]


You can find it on "onet" too and PAP is credited.

Sejm has accepted a law (proposed by President), that Polish Government will be able to ban GMO cultivation without consultation with UE.

I'm not good with this kind of English :(

Isn't that important for a person, who needs advice and doesn't know too much English. And you can know every day English and what your job requires professional English and still not know too much about medicine.

Would you be comfortable with a doctor who doesn't speak English?

Food / Goose meat anyone in Poland? [20]

To be honest in my 28 years of living in Poland I only heard about traditional Polish St. Martin's Day was when they started this campaign. Before that it was only about Poznań and its area.

Google search tells me goose at Martinmas is more Western tradition. Nothing wrong with mixing old traditions with Independence Day and pro goose campaign.

That said, only place I saw goose meat and duck meat is freezer at Tesco's. Not sure they were Polish birds.

Love / Polish couples living out of wedlock? [108]

As for "living in sin" and not baptising children - if they are not Catholic (or Christian for that matter) why should they?

As for schools. It's quite a problem for Catholics too, with religion at school when it started it was easier, and then things changed and now it's complicated wiht paying for reliigion classes, teachers, arithmetic mean, "etyka" classes and more.

"Szkoły społeczne" on the other hand are simple bussiness. If you want to you could create one without religion that accepts only out of wedlock kids.

"Szkoły publiczne" - what was said about not accepting child with not married parents should not have happened. There is no excuse for such teacher, I think it's against the law.

I would suggest Adam

USA, Canada / Saying grace before a meal in Polish (today is Thanksgiving holiday in the U.S.) -- how [5]

"Pobłogosław Panie Boże nas, Pobłogosłąw ten posiłek i tych którzy go przygotowali i naucz nas dzielić się chlebem i radością ze wszystkimi, Przez Chrystusa Pana naszego Amen."

This is the one I was taught. It means
God, Bless us, bless this meal and those who prepared it, and teach us to share bread and joy wit everybody. Through Christ Our Lord. Amen.

Also your prayer is great, and translation would be enough for Polish people to understand, but it's not perfect.

Drogi Boże, dziękujemy Ci za ten posiłek, tych przyjaciół, i za piękno tego dnia. Pobłogosław ten pokarm i pobłogosław tych ludzi. Niech zawsze będzie chleb na naszym stole, woda w naszych kubkach, i słońce nad naszymi domami.
