Language / How should "Polish" be written? Maybe Polski? [27]


Mostly so, but if someone didn't know about voiced/unvoiced consonants, they could still make a "pigs ear" of it:)

USA, Canada / Moved back from Canada to Poland:). Here are the reasons why. [868]

This thread has gone beyond trying to clean it. It has gone off topic and is a prime candidate to be thrown into the off topic where it will get swept away with the other rubbish when the next clean up begins. I would urge the OP to steer it back to the topic as it is not going to be left here to encourage members to insult each other.

Food / Krupnik recipe (soup, not wodka) [14]


I'm sure I once saw Polish butter called Kasia in a supermarket, or maybe it was lard?.

Maybe you should have inquired about group bookings? Might have worked out cheaper.

Feedback / Seriously, Mods? You make great librarians, but otherwise.. [29]

Exactly! If you were to borrow a book from a library about plumbing, you would not expect it to change to knitting and sewing half way through chapter one.

I don't agree, if a guest came to PF to find information about a bus route in Krakow for example, then the best place to look would be a thread titled "Bus routes in Krakow". He or she would not expect to find the answer in a thread about food..


I would probably complain about their filing system. In my opinion "computer programming" and " the arts" should be filed separately.

Travel / Polish travel game - questions [17]


I'm afraid you are on the wrong site. This forum (Travel, Tourism) is all about Support and advice for travelers and visitors to Poland. Talk about your Polish travel experience!

Maybe you could pick up some information here for your future trip to Poland ;)

Life / Smart TV good or bad? Works in Poland? [8]


I can't tell you what programs you will receive in Poland, but I can tell you a bit about a Samsung smart TV. First of all the older the model, the more basic the internet service will be. This years models will have an E in their model number. Last years D and the year before C. If you can't "hard wire it to your router, then you will need to buy a wireless dongle and they're not cheap at £50 UK. Only the same brand of dongle works with the same brand TV.

The film sites seem to have movies 3 or 4 years old and of course there is a monthly subscription. The good thing is you can play film files from your PC straight to your TV and the Samsung TV's also have a great picture too.

Language / What does 'gon sie' mean? [21]


Might be short form of gonić sie (to chase one another)

Life / Polish music - dwa plus jeden group (help with artist names and song titles?) [7]

Try typing a few lines of the lyrics into Google and it might come up with an answer.

Life / Polish music - dwa plus jeden group (help with artist names and song titles?) [7]


Perhaps you need to use Polish letters? There is still a very good chance that someone will recognise some of the artist/ssongs anyway;)

Language / Need some Polish language help.....with a twist! [39]


Is this some kind of gangsta rap speak?

Love / Do Irish / British guys like Polish girls? [138]


That would need a lot of courage and confidence to pull that off, but you're right it wouldn't be long before someone came to talk to her.

UK, Ireland / My dream about UK. Please help. [86]

We once had a Polish girl on PF who moved to the UK for an au-pair job. This is part of her adventure here https://polishforums.com/archives/2005-2009/uk-ireland/manners-business-moved-pair-28387/

Life / Do Polish names generally have a meaning to them or a particular structure?. [88]



I can see that you're a man who doesn't believe in searching the forum for information or gives any thought for a good thread title. There are 93 pages on Polish surnames here

UK, Ireland / My dream about UK. Please help. [86]


Not words of criticism but hopefully words of advice. It would probably be best, not to go to a foreign country without a job.Try to find one before you go there, by all means possible, Internet, and friends etc.

Your best bet to get started would be an Au-pair or house keeper as you will probably get free accommodation with the job. London is a very expensive place to live, and the price of renting a room might start to get higher as the 2012 Olympics is just a few months away. If you have some Polish friends in the UK then it may be a better option to try and stay with them.

With many local people looking for work, you may find there are only a few low paid jobs available. £6.50 an hour might look good from afar, but after you pay for your rent, travel expenses and food there is not a lot left for saving.

Hopefully what I said might be a little help to you, and you can still have your "dream", it might just mean putting it on hold for a little while longer

Language / The complement of the verb "to be" [14]

And me also. At first I thought it might be a "modal verb" rule but can't find one there, unless Polish has a few extra ones;)

Language / Pronunciation of the Polish word 'ty' [4]

Most text books that I've seen, have it as an English phonetic "tih". listen to it pronounced here. Use "Polish,Ewa" in the drop down box.

How much is a haircut in Poland? The average that I've seen in the UK is now around £10.

that's a good price, especially for someone visiting Poland on holiday..

It would be a good idea to give an English translation for non Polish speakers, thanks.

I hope so too. As a footnote to this tragic news report, on the day she flew back it was reported the boy had an illness too, which prevented him from traveling.The lady's brother came over from Poland and was by her side on the journey back.
