Was watching Wajda's classic "Popiol i Diamenty" on BRAVO channel several evenings ago. Wow, how the mighty have fallen. Their Polish seemed soooo classic, if totally natural for those times:-)
How to say this in Polish, help greatly appreciated!
Hi everyone,
I am trying to say -
"I hope you are having a wonderful night."
And
"What comes easy isn't worth having, and what is worth having doesn't come easy."
Thanks for any help, much appreciated. For the first I have "Mam nadzieję, że masz cudowną noc", but I am not certain. For the second I have no clue. Thank you all.
Fireman- In modern English this is a person, usually employed by the local government, who is puts out accidental fires. There is also the older meaning of the man who shovels coal into a furnace. I need this older meaning translated please.
It's the birth and baptismal certificate issued for Remigiusz Blaszko, born May 15th 1938 in Wólka Mała, the son of Franciszek Blaszko and Regina Klimaszewska, baptised at January 18th 1942.
This paper was prepared in Rydzewo, Szczuczyn county, Białystok voivodeship at December 11th 1946 and signed by a parish priest.
You may probably wonder which Poland's Wólka Mała it is, since couple of them on the Polish map, but my guess that's the one located on this map - check the proximity from Rydzewo town.
Dajesz siłę memu sercu, dajesz światło mojej duszy. Zawsze będę Cię kochał. (if you're a boy as ur name suggests if not then "kochała". If you're T in LGBT then "Zawsze będzie Cię kochało" lol)
Would it be too much to ask to translate a poem I wrote for her? She's already heard/read it in English, but I would like to surprise her by (trying) reading it to her in Polish.
lol yeah. We all know u can't speak/write in Polish. Good to know you yourself asses your Polish as terrible. It's nothing more than that tbh. Actually 3-4 years old Pole speak Polish better than you.
You ask me how can I be so in love? How can the stars twinkle in the night sky? Or the moon pull the tides in an endless dance? How can the sun burn ever so bright overhead? Or the earth keep it's contstant turn below?
How can I be so in love? How can the flowers bloom come spring? Endless colours in a sea of green? How can the rains spring eternal? Ever flowing, never ending, a dance of life.
How can I be so in love? With this woman that inspires my heart to greatness? With her genius mind that will carry her over the world, with her humble heart that deemed me fit to hold within. With her beautious smile, the secret of happiness hidden behind, With her gorgeous soul, that makes me strive to be a better man.
You ask me how can I be so in love? But I ask you, how in the world could I not? "
If anyone can help me with this, it would be awesome. I would love to be able to surprise her with reciting to her in her own language (which she is trying her best to teach me)
There is a saying my grandfather would recite all the time.. I know the first part is Jak się masz (How are you?)? And the rest I haven't been able to figure out. It sounds like... Hits die spatch then something something booby dahck Any help? Hoping it's some sort of proverb or rhyme. Thanks.
Did he say it when he wanted to say good night? hits die spatch sounds like idź daj spać - go (away) and let me sleep but I guess your grandpa was more possible to say idź już spać- go to sleep now.
Booby dahck - buzi dać? to give a kiss
Just a guess. I can't think of any rhyme containing these. Perhaps someone will have a better idea.
Can someone please translate the following for my facebook page?
"New Luxurious Spa just opened in Warsaw. To make us popular, i am giving away 100 vouchers worth 3,000PLN for the first 100 people that accept our friend request"
Właśnie otwarliśmy nowe luksusowe spa w Warszawie. By spopularyzować to miejsce, rozdajemy 100 voucherów o wartości 3000 złotych dla pierwszych 100-u osób, które zaakceptują naszą prośbę o dodanie do znajomych.
Of course, thanks Looker! I meant "przybysz" as in the phrase I read recently "...przybysz ze wsi.....", which I translated (idiomaticallyLOL) as "local yokel".
There have been some new descriptions about people from villages who come to big town. They are called 'sloiki' (glass jars). Reason being that when they go and visit families they give them prepared food which is put in glass jars for them to keep in the fridge.
