Short Polish<->English translations

could be..them names for agriculture and farming thingies,differ from region to region in Poland..them farmers down in the south of Poland are hard to understand. gorals especially.

Dunno. I'm from the Western Poland more so from area with no dialects at all. Just pure Polish. High Polish according to what the classification say.

Tartak - tarcica?
Where lays the problem?
Lumber mill - lumber.

Yeah. I heard about "tarcica" at least few times before although i've never had anything in common with tartak. Seems it's simply a general desctription of products of lumber mills.

A tartak is a sawmill, tarcica is its product -- sawn timber (planks, boards).
This is standard Polish, no dialects involved.

Please translate:
"Przeczucia mylą . Jutro przelej obiecuje co u ciebie"

I don't know what to make of this,
Context:He lied,I found out and confronted him.

I was going to suggest some online translation but the results from those almost need translating themselves....

perhaps it means something like 'You are mistaken.(!) and you will find out tomorrow?

A hunch isn't always accurate. Tomorrow i'll make a transfer(like in moving money between accounts). I promise. How are you?

Oke, thank you both.

Merged: Word for nativity? Not the usual word!

Hello!

My grandmother and great-grandmother, both 100% Polish, passed away last year. They were the last Polish speakers in the family. I was given her old nativity scene and remember them calling it something other than szopka. It sounded like zwubek. Does anyone know what they could have been calling it? Thank you!

The word is żłóbek (pronouncned ZHWOO-bek). A żłób is a manger where fodder for liverstocvk is placed. The diminutive has come to mean a Christmas

crèche or nativity set. Other terms for this in Polish are szopka and stajenka.

Szopka

Merged: Profesor Nadzwyczajny Doktor Habilitowany?

How would you translate:

Profesor Nadzwyczajny Doktor Habilitowany
into English?

Associate Professor seems to be the preferred translation - I've found this text from the University of Wrocław that goes into detail about translating academic titles.

uni.wroc.pl/sites/default/files/T%C5%82umaczenie%20tytu%C5%82%C3%B3w%20i%20stopni%20naukowych.pdf

I know that you definitely don't translate the Habilitowany part into English because there's nothing comparable in the Anglophone world.

Many dzięks!

Can anyone tell me the meaning of laseczki, as in 'ale laseczki', or 'jakie laseczki'?
A friend of mine has tried to explain this to me, and says it is meant in a complimentary way, but I still don't understand what she means.

I get the feeling that this doesn't translate well to English.
I know Google Translate is crap, but I ran these phrases through it anyway.
'Ale laseczki' came out as 'but the rod', and ' Jakie laseczki' as 'which bacilli'. lol

roughly: laseczka (pl laseczki) girl, chick

"ale laseczki!" roughly "Those chicks are hot!"

jakie laseszki can be similar (sounds weaker to my non-native ear) or a question "what kind of girls/chicks?"

Ok, thanks Mafketis.
Very different to the google translate definition!
How 'chicks' translates to 'rod' or 'bacilli', I'll never know, but hey this is Polish!

google translate does not deal well with very informal or slang usage....

Yeah I guessed it had to be slang, but with GT, you can quite often get gibberish anyway! I very rarely use it for precisely this reason.

To be precise "laseczki" is a plural form of "laska" and "laska" literaly means "assistive cane". It is a slang of course and refers to a chick that's usually very thin (resembling an assistive cane). It is almost never used with girls that are overweight.

Thanks Esidar, now I can see the reasoning behind the phrases, and it does make sense now!

that doesn't explain robić laskę komuś? (rough: give smn a bl0wj*b)

Merged: Skierowanie?

Is there a nice word for skierowanie in English or is that strictly a communist-era concept? There used to be a skierowanie to a workers' holiday centre (free of charge) or to a physician. To this day you need a skierowanie to see a speciaist in the state health service.

Referral, in a medical context.

But referral slip, sheet, document or what? The Polish medcial skierowanie is a slip of paper.

It would be in the form of a letter usually.
A GP ( general practitioner ) would write to a specialist on a patient's behalf if he/she thought the patient needed to see a specialist for further evaluation.

Merged: Translation from English to Polish using "you".

I was talking to my Polish friend.
Getting her to translate some things for me. Which is never easy. As Polish is so difficult and she sometimes doesn't understand. So a simple thing like " Ewelina wants you", ended up taking 30 mins for her to translate something for me which i am not even convinced is correct.

So.................. i want you
he/she wants you
John/Ewelina wants you??????????????? anyone??
i thought it would be Ewelina chce cie. But she said that makes no sense.

Context? Wants to fcuk you? Wants to speak to you?


No, you giving no context make things difficult.
