Food / Cooking Polish kiszka [99]

The one I purchase is gray in color (casing), and is irregular in shape...more like a blob than a well formed sausage.

Does anyone have experience buying it this way? I live in central Connecticut and always remember it being sold this way.

yeah, that's just one of the ways it comes in. nothing really unusual about it.

Language / An email translated from Polish to English using translator [24]

This email speaks about person other than the recipient of the email.

no it doesn't fatso... if it was "someone/person" then it would have been "czlowiek: or something.. but it isn't and Pan is capitalized thus it's "you"

Language / An email translated from Polish to English using translator [24]

Jednym z nich był Pan, który szukał pomysłu

One of them was the Lord, who was looking for an idea

one of them was you.. definitely not the lord

"Gentlemen" should be used.

talk about having to learn better polish.. gentlemen is not correct in this context at all.

Love / American woman falls in love with a charming Polish man upon his visit to the U.S. [36]

disillusioned

you got that right.. in love you are not. lust maybe and really just smitten. now, let it go..

P.S. Is it common for Polish men to ignore women they are not interested in?

a Polish custom? you jest...

you looked it up and still don't understand? really?

He signed the message, "Yours," and his name.

do you really need a lesson in enlish?

I know, you are not OK.

no shlt.. lol

Crazy. And I am not even divorced yet. I see now that I was disillusioned and sprinkle dusted with infatuation. Love is not rational, or I should say, infatuation is not rational.

i see that you actually are seeing it.. good for ya

Language / Rzeczpospolita Polska - translation? [42]

Plk - what republics does the Commonwealth of Virginia consists of? How about the Commonwealth of Kentucky? ...Massachusetts? ...Pennsylvania?

they aren't states; they are in commonwealth with each other. and there is possibly some other arrangements in their county/parish systems but i am not that familiar with them but do know that their laws do not work the same way as other states' laws.

Rzeczpospolita they should've used more literal translations in other foreign languages too, in English the proper translation would've been the Commonwealth of Poland. Same meaning but more aesthetically and phonetically pleasing also more of a verbatim translation in each specific language.

not at all

poltran.com/odp.php4?q=2&direction=2&word=rzeczpospolita

poltran.com/odp.php4?q=1&direction=1&word=commonwealth

I guess the noun 'commonwealth' in English tends to express an idea of a union - the British Commonwealth, the Commonwealth of Independent States - which is what Poland used to be, but no longer is.

yeah, back in Mieszko I times.. lol

wealth (Rzecz)

rzecz = res = thing.. not wealth

but Rzeczpospolita and Republic just isn't the same

oh? it is, it is tho

Language / Rzeczpospolita Polska - translation? [42]

Poland is definitely NOT a commonwealth

a republic is a state or nation where the supreme power lies with its citizens;
a commonwealth is an allied group of republics

For example the Polish-Lithuanian Union was called the Commonwealth of Poland & Lithuania in the English speaking world.

not really as the official name was actually "Kingdom of Poland and Grand Duchy of Lithuania" but in reality it was more of a commonwealth then a true union (except between 1791-95)

Rzeczpospolita Polska = Res Publica Poloniae = Rebublic of Poland

USA, Canada / Poles and American Poles. What do you think about those two groups and their interactions. [85]

not really.. to me when you become a US citizen then you're American.. like i said, i don't care for hyphenated americans.. it's just divisive and just doesn't really seem right... i am all good with one's background however.. american of polish descent or and american of irish descent, i am all good with but no hyphens. :)

Well, Pole in America like yourself is one

no, i'm a Pole only.. i am not an american

then if someone was born in US does it make him an American ?

of course

Sokrates is an American according to your definition,

and he is.. he has US citizenship if he wasn't fibbing about this,

American Poles who do feel associated with Poland because of their ancestors?

they are simply American.. i don't believe in - americans

Love / Polish Girl Doesn't Want To Touch. [240]

approximately the last four months. We've spent a lot of time together during these past months. We talked for hours, I've drew portraits of her, went to movies, out to eat, and she's now even living in an extra room in my apartment. I've directly and indirectly expressed that I love her

you love her after 4 months? really? hmmm scary

I feel a strong need to move forward.

hold your horses, kid

I hate having to do this, because I hate secrets, I feel as if I'm betraying the confidence of a private situation, but she won't talk, and I need to know what is going on, because I can't figure it out on my own, so help me someone.

seems you may be sincere here then.. take what you are getting (the knee, lol, sry dude but that's just funny) and enjoy it.. i'm guessing both of you are way young.. just be patient.. polkas are that way, for the most part.. if you are cool then eventually she'll open up but you can't rush it or you'll push her away..

there is also a chance she's not that much into you.. so be prepared for that..

good luck otherwise.

pay and stay friends with her.

gold digger

Id just go with the direct approach, kinda " girl you best start spending some time on your back cos this just aint working out for me".

maybe that 50euro is the way to break the ice.. lol

So, lonliness motivating her to use me as a prop just doesn't sound right.

actually it does

I'm bending over backwards really far, and she knows it. How can I know for sure if she only wants to be friends?

consider the advice the gold digger gave you.. it's very possible she only wants to be friends and/or is using you as a meal ticket

I'm strong enough to end it, if and only if that must be done.

that's probably so..

How can I be sure you are right she doesn't really care for me that way? Can you make me understand it.

she doesn't let you touch her.. get it?

They didn't give me touches, they wanted to touch and be touched.

see, you know better.

On the other hand, a prostitute and good moral woman demand some form of payment, either cash on hand or a promise of stability before sex occurs.

haha, great observation my man.

There are a lot of intelligent, very gorgeous American artist women who are monogamous and who'd have sex like in the first week of dating. It's four months and I can't even hold her hand, come on.

yup, you do know.. go with your inner feeling.. it's never ever wrong

I may tell her about this anyway so she can read all your gossip, at least she'll know everything was from a truthful insider, yours truly.

no, do not do that.. it's highly likely she'll be pissed..

She is encouraging gossip and potential misunderstanding.

yup.. and i think you already know that you probably should just move on.. life's too short to play games.. find another and be happy.

just wait for her to touch you first ...lol

lol.. no, it'll never happen, i feel

And she doesn't respond when you ask her about it because her only possible response would mean an end to her free ride.

ok,this is one of the v. few things i will agree with tz on.

I'm curious about this too. Seem like you have problems understanding girls.

why is that? not all women play games and i agree with him, just the stupid ones do.. the ones worth anything don't are up front from the get-go..

She is a friend, not that great of a friend if she is being insensitive and just using me.

exactly

If she doesn't answer you then you have your answer.

he already has the answer but doesn't seem to believe it.

Those who don't like massages are 'touched' in the head.

lol.. this thread is beginning to be "rich"

To be honest, I think you are wasting minutes with her. Kick her sorry butt outta there.

agreed

There's always the 'rape option'.

and then you wonder why people here hate your stupid arse.. seriously man, that was inappropriate as it gets.

True words. But there is a difference. You are in a committed, caring relationship between two adults, poor Popcorn is in a relationship with a leech.

and she has had plenty of space and seems to want more.. move one popcorn.

but she tells me that maybe some unattractive person we are acquainted with may want one.

dude, she's not into you.. you're wasting your efforts here

I played a similar game, and we laughed. But, still, no confirmation.

that is a confirmation..

I don't think it's forcing anything except her hand. There's nothing wrong with asking someone if they have feelings for you. And I assume that if she doesn't that you'd then want to alter yours and hers situation. Because at this point it seems one sided. From over here anyway...

yup, stand up for yourself

I have asked. She becomes expressionless, almost slightly irritable. Even if calm, and sweet in the asking, she avoids eye contact and says nothing. She will even walk away without saying goodbye. She has done it several times.

again, this is a lost cause.. move along and dump this leech

Maybe even try some alcohol to loosen her up.

no, that's dishonest, really

But first, I will teaze.

he said tease out.. that doesn't mean to tease.. that means work out gently..

Remember, some women like a challenge. If they can't get what they want, they try much harder to get it in other creative ways. If you hold back, or come off like you don't really care, that may motivate her to pursue you.

this is playing a game.. kind of waste of time as from what i read, she just isn't all that into him

I prefer to build things on truth.

and stick with that.. but you have to be selective with information.. not everything is meant to be shared.. just remember that

Well, you must beat your horse and get it under control :)

lmao

but she has led me to believe some are not true and the others she just freezes and abruptly ends the conversation.

the answer is in those she freezes on.. and that answer is the negative

Let us know when you have gotten to her bottom.

:D

You overanalyze you get nowhere.Mental masturbation from overanalyzing.Offer your room to another girl.

that's the bottom line..nicely said

There are still women out there that do not want to give 'it' up until they are married. Until then she might not want any sign of impropriety, or be accused of being a tease.

but why not just say that from the start.. keeping the guy in the dark isn't ok.

She really wanted to know, so I told her the polishforums.com.

big mistake man.. mark my words

Run girl, run!!!
Szukaj innego mieszkania!

jeez.. after all the other advice you give him now you say that.. WTF?

Dude, don't get you're hopes too high.

This is just crazy! Do you really want her seeing all this? :D

yup and exactly... it's a bad move, imho

Of course she would want to know, but man that was one dumb thing to do.

probably shot his chances not that he had any anyway.. she'll give him an answer in 2 days? wtf? that doesn't sound right either..

Language / "A" and "I" usage in Polish language [22]

You use 'a' when you might use 'but'

that's right

thus

Poles are dumb, BUT Brits are smart;
Polacy są tępi, a Brytole cwani.

cwani/y isn't smart though. it means sly, shifty or cunning.
