Language / Polish/Ukrainian words similarities [209]

You wasted your time cause you made so many mistakes that makes it useless

.... oh you will obviously ask me for example, so I give you one:

Earth - Zemja - Zemlja

I have new file with comparison between Polish and Russian words.Now everithing is in Polish alphabet.Take plesure to read it.
So, which languages do you believe have more cognates than Polish and Ukrainian?

Language / Polish/Ukrainian words similarities [209]

I wanted to include Czech words in file for comparison as well,but I'm affraid it will be instantly banned in this forum.
I will try to include Slovak words but if they are going to close the theme they could just warn me before it will happen.

I have question regarding pronounciation of Polish C letter.In wikipedia it is writen it sounds like English "ts".But in some
words such as Cieplo,Ciasto,Cichy when a word starts from this letter it sounds in Google translater more similar to Russian "T".

Or maybe it just seems to me?

Language / Polish/Ukrainian words similarities [209]

From what I know Slovak is closer (at least in pronounciation to Ukrainian/Russian) than to Polish.
If I no make mistake it totally lacks such Polish sounds as ł,ę,ą,ę,ś,ó.What is a serious difference already.
For example:

English - Polish - Slovak - Russian

White - Biały - Biely - Bielyj
Wife - żona - żena - žena
Sand - Piasek - Piesok - Piesok
Wind - Wiatr - Vietor - Vieter
Court - Sąd - Súd - Sud
Yard - Podwórze - Dvor - Dvor

English - Polish - Slovak - Ukrainian

Sword - Miecz - Meè - Meè
Glass - Szkło - Sklo - Sklo
Crime - Przestępstwo - Zloèin - Zloèin
Beauty - Piękność - Krása - Krasa
Will be - Będzie - Bude - Bude
Banner - Transparent - Prápor - Prápor
Times - Czasy - Doba - Doba
Straw Roof - Dach - Strecha - Stricha

If you could provide lots of oposite examples I'm all attention.

Life / Could Poland become an immigrant country? [42]

Hopefully Poland learns from western europe/US and does not bring in blacks or muslims. Asians are a much better choice.

I thought that vast majority of muslims live in Asia.Aren't they Asians?

Life / Could Poland become an immigrant country? [42]

Currently in Germany 1/3 of all children have at least one non-native German parent.
40% of all native German woman have zero children.Do you think Poles are suggesting
the same fate for themself?

Language / Polish/Ukrainian words similarities [209]

Polish "c" is pronounced like German "z", for example in the word "zwei".

Defenetely it's good thing to compare Polish with German as languages which
belong to the same family.Unfortunately I do not have Mongol dictionary with me to make
proper analysis of Russian and Ukrainian and therefore continue to compare them with
other Slavic languages.

History / FDR and Americas communist insurgency affecting Poland [35]

In one of the Polish documentary movies with pretentious name "Walka Swiatowa II" (WW II).
(80% of total movie was dedicated to Soviet soldiers and Ukrainian nationalists raping woman of all known in the
World nationalities and Stalin applauding them) they claimed that it was Winston Churchill who demanded
Stalin to compensate Poland with Western territories taken from Germany to replace those territories they
lost in the East.Wonder if it's true...

History / FDR and Americas communist insurgency affecting Poland [35]

The obvious point was that Roosevelt (along with Churchill) sold Poland to the Soviets during the 3 conferences with Stalin, the Yalta Conference in February of 1945 being the last nail in Poland's coffin.

In any case so called "communism" existed in Poland 44 years at max. (1945-1989) and now Poland is already 23 years non-communist.So they did more than 1/2 of way they did under communism already.Have life conditions in Poland became equal to that in Germany?I think it is quite obvious Poles will not be able to live in any foreseable future or could live in the past exactly like Germans...They just never had historical experience of it.

Recently Polish unemploymen reached 14.4%

According to mind of Polish ethnographist and historian Franciszek Henryk Duchiński who was born in Polish-Ukrainian family,
Moskals or welikoroses (Russians) do not belong to either Slavic or even "Arian" tribe of humans.And constitute (on pair with Mongols)
part of some mythical "Turanian" branch of people.Their language is just corrupted Church-Slavonic language and originally wasn't even
Slavic.Russians spoke some Turanian language and borrowed some Slavic words.Turanian people are incapable of any democratic type of government,individual values or town-planning.

The natural division between Slavic and non-Slavic worlds according to him is Dniper and Dvina rivers and rivers of Finland.
He believed in messian role of Polish state and thought it is needed to recreate the Great Polish state which would also include parts of

Ukraine and Belarus.

I would not say that the SU period had been the worst for Ukrainian – all depended upon who had been in power in the Kremlin

Once my father told me that when he was 7 years old in one of his first days in school the teacher took children to the portrait of Soviet leader and proclaimed in pure and plain Ukrainian language: "Children,this is our everyone's beloved father - comrade Stalin!".

My friend, in my it is true that many English people do not consider the Irish to be white. Yes, it is completely stupid but the English are very touchy on the subject of race and, particularly, on who they consider are members of the white race.

Interesting.And which nations according to English constitute white race?

Vlad who is on this forum on the mission of spreading his bigotry that Poles, Ukrainians and Russians are genetically, culturally and linguistically the same

Well,if you feel yourself ethnically closer to Germans go ahead I'm not going to restrain you.Though you may first ask Germans if they are going recognize you as anything close to their kin.There is quite many Germans who up to now continue claim on forums that they and any kind of Slavs are different races of people.This is where a real bigotry is.And also they make clips about Poles similar to this one:



So good luck.

The correlation between Russian and Polish is nothing like, say, the similarity between Danish and Norwegian which could be argued almost the same (save the pronunciation).

I do not claim that there is only similarities,but my point was to provide comparison between Ukrainian and Polish cognates through Russian.For some reason many Poles believe that Ukrainian is kind of inferior language which just have some borrowings from Polish if there is any similarities.Some Poles say Ukrainian is part Polish part Russian.Well if it is Ukrainian, then what is Polish - part Russian, part...?

All this languages originated from the same stock and in any case have more similarities than differences.If you know Polish,Czech and Slovenian you seem able to tap easily about 90% of basic Russian dictionary.During my comparison I tried to avoid using words borrowed from non-Slavic languages.

For example such words as "kot", "czereśnia" and many others have proved borrowed history and I didn't use them.Non borrowed could be for example:

Englis - Polish -Russian

Heron - Czapla - Caplia
Furrow - Bruzda - Borozda
Harrow - Brona - Borona
Ringing - Dzwonienie, dzwon - Zwon
Millet - Proso, jagla - Proso, pszeno
Rub - Trzeć - Teriet'
Porrige - Kasza - Kasza
Tell fortune - Wróżyć - Worożyt'
Drawing - Rysunek - Risunok

And so forth.

Cyrillic alphabet on an Ipad may just do the trick...

In my opinnion Latin alphabet is hardly sutable for a Slavic language such as Polish for example the same sound in Russian is used only one character

"щ" while in Polish four characters szcz ! Latin alphabet just doesn't have enough characters to suit Slavic vocabulary.

well unless it became an Olympic discipline in which case we would see a whole new generation of young, genetically modified Russians with abnormal levels dopamine and serotonin in their systems ready to compete.

But take in account that Western nations and Poland itself are not in any better position at least demographically and soon will attempt to convert Poles into Islam as they will become muslim countries.So?

If there will be genetically modified people wouldn't you prefer Poles and Russian also will get advantages of it (if there will be any) and not only Germans?

History / How different would WW2 turned out if Poland accepted Hitler's offer [215]

Could you give any reliable link where it is stated that Hitler provided Poland any posibility to join him (on favorable conditions)?
To a larger extent Hitler didn't need Poland as an ally since he easily captured it (as he planned) and effectively used
Poles as a slaves.In any case Nazies regarded Poland as one of the primary target for lebensraun - a place to be
populated by Germans.Poland in 1939 was father to the East than now and was backward country with little power they
could propose Hitler.But there was all the same no lack in those Poles who served in Wehrmacht.At least 250.000 Poles fought
for Hitler.

The correlation between Russian and Polish is nothing like, say, the similarity between Danish and Norwegian which could be argued almost the same (save the pronunciation).

Currently,Norwegians use two official languages Bokmål which was completely borrowed and derived from Danish and Nynorsk which is based in more original Norwegian dialects.From what I know difference between these two languages is quite big.And maybe even comparable to distance between Polish and Russian.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norwegian_language

As I know from all Germanic languages only German and Dutch may be as close as Polish and Russian.So even in basic vocabulary there is visible differences:

English - German - Dutch

I - Ich - Ik
You - Sie - U
He - Er - Hij
She - Sie - Zij
They - Sie - Zij
We - Wir - Wij
Who - Welche - Wie

And many Germans recognize that they understand quite a liitle what hear or read Dutch.Though it depends on dialect.German and Swedish or German and English are even much more distant.There maybe just few percents of very close similarities.

History / How different would WW2 turned out if Poland accepted Hitler's offer [215]

As the British historian A. J. P. Taylor noted in his 1963 foreword "Second Thoughts" to his 1961 book The Origins of the Second World War:

It is equally obvious that Lebensraum always appeared as one element in these blueprints. This was not an original idea of Hitler's. It was commonplace at the time. Volk ohne Raum (People Without Space) for instance, by Hans Grimm sold much better than Mein Kampf when it was published in 1928. For that matter, plans for acquiring new territory were much aired in Germany during the First World War. It used to be thought that these were the plans of a few crack-pot theorisers or of extremist organisations. Now we know better. In 1961 a German professor [Fritz Fischer] reported the results of his investigations into German war aims. These were indeed a "blueprint for aggression" or as the professor called them "a grasp at world power": Belgium under German control, the French iron fields annexed to Germany, and, what is more, Poland and the Ukraine to be cleared of their inhabitants and resettled with Germans. These plans were not merely the work of the German General Staff. They were endorsed by the German Foreign Office and by the "good German", Bethmann Hollweg.[14]

I have strong suspicion that Ukrainian has at least the same proximity to Polish as Slovak and especially if we combine Ukrainian and Russian similarities to Polish together.Could you disprove it?I already provided some comparison between Polish,Russian and Slovak here.I think you never listened to Slovak language.I'm going to dissapoint you but after comparison of basic vocabulary of those languages I came to conclusion that:

1)Slovak is closer in pronounciation to Russian and Ukrainian than to Polish.
2)Polish is closer in pronounciation to Russian more than to Ukrainian or Slovak.
You probably understand a little in Slavic languages and base your assumptions on stereotypes.

Neither vocabulary or sound pronounciation between Polish and Slovak seem extremely close to me.
Polish uses entire set of sounds which are completely absent in Slovak.Many Slovak words are either
different from Polish or even closer to Russian than to Polish.Though I do not disagree that there could
be opposite examples.In general there seem to be small Polish influence on Slovak.Some of those words
in its own turn were borrowed from German.But it is quite easily to make conclusion that Polish and Slovak
were not much originally related than Slovak and Russian.If there is some small influence it almost defenitely
took place in a recent centuries due close contact between Poland and much smaller Slovakia.
Stress in Slovak always falls on the first syllable while in Polish always on the second syllable from the end.
In Russian it is more unpredictable.Reason to divide Nothern Slavic languages into Western and Eastern branches
according to wikipedia are based mostly on other reasons than vocabulary and pronounciation:

The most obvious differences between the West and East Slavic branches are in the orthography of the standard languages: West Slavic languages are written in the Latin script, and have had more Western European influence due to their speakers being historically Roman Catholic, whereas the East Slavic languages are written in Cyrillic and with Eastern Orthodox or Uniate faithful have had more Greek influence. East Slavic languages such as Russian have, however, during and after Peter the Great's Europeanization campaign, absorbed many words of Latin, French, German, and Italian origin, somewhat reducing this difference in influence.

/wiki/Slavic_languages

But I do not disagree that for an average Pole it could be easier to understand Slovac than either Russian and Ukrainian.It is quite believable to me.

Though for a person who speaks both Russian and Ukrainian it is easier to understand Polish than Slovak.

If you wrote Russian in Polish alphabet, most Poles would understand it easily (say 80% of it) without prior knowledge of Russian.

I'm affraid it could be an exagerration.Probably it's closer to 60%.Knowledge of Ukrainian will add you 10-15 more percents.But if you mean basic and older vocabulary then quite possibly.Could someone post here some Polish text of average difficulty which doesnt contain too much German or English words?
