Love / Polish men calling polish girl for dating englishman [80]


Well before I purchase a pair of clogs;) how do we know from the title what this calling is? Is it, calling round to her home, or on the her phone etc? I still think it may be names.


Have a nice day yourself.

Language / Use of swoj [23]


That's it in a nutshell.

two examples for ryanb

When a man loves his wife, you should say On kocha swoją żonę. If you say On kocha jego żonę, it means the man loves somebody else's wife

when a woman loves her husband, you should say, Ona kocha swojego męża. If you say Ona kocha jej męża, it means she loves somebody else's husband.

Hopes this helps.

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 / Why are Polish so conservative and religious? [240]


This guy seems to fly back to the USA at weekends!

History / Polish Underground in WWII ( interview with Dr. Wojciech Muszynski) [12]

please supply a proper link to this story as it doesn't seem to be in the one you posted. If the text you posted (over 100 words) is not your own, then you should also shorten it to a few lines.

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.

Feedback / Do the Moderators have a rule book or is it Knee jerk Policy? [111]

In answer to your question in the title the answer is, we have the same set of rules as you and we try to adhere to them.


We moderate all threads in the public forums.


The threads in the main forums are/ should be Polish related, If they're not they go to off topic or the bin. Everyone is entitled to free speech as long as it's civil,and everyone is entitled to reply; as long as it is also civil. Blatant racial abuse will not be tolerated.

I would suggest you have a look through the random chat thread, to see that many blatant racist comments and racist threads have been moved there. If you come across any on the main forums you should report them through the correct channel.

I would like to know how the OP qualifies this also?


When trolls start these threads they usually end up in the bin, but if someone supply's a link and it is genuine then there is little we can do except make sure the thread doesn't go into a flaming war. The forums are everything about Poland, the good and the bad. Thankfully the good always out numbers the bad.

I would say that Religious discrimination can be found in most countries around the world and is reported most days in the news. Their is nothing you or I can do about that, but on PF if it turn out to be related to religious or personal lives of forum members, we will step in and the offenders will find themselves banned from the forums

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?

Travel / Any Anglican churches in Poland? [35]

Two posts were removed from this thread as they were off topic, mostly because you and another member were treating the thread like a social network site. Please keep the main forums clear of your random chat in future.

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.

Food / Miracle Whip availability in Poland? [43]


I don't want to be a killjoy here, but the thread is about Miracle whip!

In my experiences, mud slingers usually end up in the mud themselves at some point. Some quicker than others.

Life / Let`s compare prices of services and products in Poland [359]

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