Language / Polish from Russian [14]

Thank you, @Paulina. You're very kind 😊.
Thanks for the link, @mafketis.
Six months sounds very quick, @Bobko. 'Her', by the way. 'Friend' is a lovely word, I wasn't expecting such niceness from Poles. Not because Poles aren't nice people, just Poland and Russia aren't exactly friendly (understatement of the year).

Language / Polish from Russian [14]

@Paulina I am! Very serious vocational ballet student at Vaganova Academy! How did you know? Did I put that in my information on my profile?

New York sounds very interesting, good for him/her.
You're definitely right. I honestly don't understand why a lot of Russians hate Poles, call them crooks, "insult" them by calling them Jews (I think there used to or is a lot of dislike towards Jews in Poland, which is saddening but ironic on the "insult" matter) . Obviously I understand the general dislike of Russians in Poland, with the invasion and practically terrorizing them for centuries, although ordinary Russians really have nothing to do with that.

Please stick to the topic of this thread

Genealogy / Do Polish people have big noses? [451]

Not excessively large, no. But Slavs in general, Russians, Serbians, Poles, etc. DO have a slight predisposition to 'large' noses. This does not mean absurdly large, or ALL Poles or anything, it's just a generic Slavic trait, like blonde/brown hair. A lot of Poles and other Slavs have blonde/brown hair, doesn't mean ALL. Likewise a lot have grey eyes, again, not ALL. What's so bad about a big nose, anyway? All being said, the Poles I know all have tiny noses.

History / Ski- Suffix of names [12]

@Paulina
Thank you! That's very interesting history.
That makes sense re. the pronunciation. I always thought that my fathers friend whose name ends in -ski sounded like he was stopping his name short. So, it would be, say, Kowalski correctly and not Kowalskiy as I was saying it. Now I'll know how not to look like an idiot.

Feedback / Is it Polish forum or foreign forum? [159]

@Ktos
What? Where's the hate? Are non Poles not allowed on here? Why is the word Pole offensive. Who are you to decide whos Polish? What's wrong with you?

As far as I know, Poland and Russia loathe one another. Have I been wrong my whole life?

Krzesińska and Nizynski - famous ballet dancers

Matylda Krzesiǹska, Prima Ballerina Assoluta and Nizynski, one of the most famous ballet dancers of all time (I can't get the accents on this computer, please forgive me) are often called Russian. They were not. It is undermining Polands contribution to ballet. I'm not sure anyone will really care, but this is an insult to Poland. Like calling Ukrainian ballerinas such as Uliana Lopatkina Russian. It's just wrong. There have been masses of great Russian dancers, but they were not some of them.

Note also the choreographer Bronislawa Nizynska, one of the first important female choreographers in the history of ballet.

Oh, there's plenty more. They're just the most famous, i.e. the tip of the iceberg.

I am not interested in anyone sexually or romantically. And this is not a dating site. Plus, you never know, I could be ugly as hell.

And Johnny never pandered to me. Leave him alone

And you're going off topic

(I've found the worst one).
Mods, please delete Strzelec's posts. They're completely off topic

Maybe don't start sexually harassing me and then blaming other posters

No one told me that being on an anonymous forum would lead to sexual harassment. Maybe Cojestdocholery isn't that bad after all.

Can this thread please go back on topic? It's almost funny, I have a second to myself and Strzelec is making annoying posts again. And implying I'm some kind of feminazi!

Is he? And you're off topic. Why are you derailing my thread?! This isn't a thread about some perverted creep who asks random posters of they're sexually interested in 37 year old men. And if he's so nice, would you invite him for dinner with your grandmother? I bet not!

Why are people implying I'm a troll? I am exactly who I say I am, just because people think I can speak English too well or navigate this forum too well or I'm too smart doesn't mean I'm a troll. Just I have a brain.

No I'm not seeking attention. I've seen a few people implying I'm a troll. You for example.

Since I was 6. My mother just thought I should learn a foreign language or two, so I started learning German and English.

Don't play dumb. You aren't good at it
Also, RANDOM POSTS DON'T BELONG IN THIS THREAD. Mods, please move posts which don't pertain to it.

You know, it's actually funny how people think they can just lie about what they said on a forum which other posters can just go back and check. I didn't think people could be that stupid.
