And hopefully the OP will actually be considerate enough to thank you....
Short Polish<->English translations
He/she may have already found the answer elsewhere and not even checked here. It's very possible.
Always nice to get a "thank you" though. One of those little things that brighten the day, make the birdies sing, the flowers bloom and warms the cockles of the heart.

How to say "I am good/bad etc at (doing something)" in Polish? Is the correct Polish preposition "na" or "w(e)" or something else? So far, I know only "(Ja) Jestem dobry/zły etc...(z)robienie coś". Or does the Polish equivalent of such sentences use adverbs "dobrze/źle etc" instead of adjectives "dobry/zły etc"? So far I'm 100% confident only the "(Ja) jestem" part
Uh oh, and how to say in Polish "I'm NOT good/bad etc at (doing something)"? Is it "(Ja) Nie jestem...(z)robienie nic"? And does the equivalent sentences in Polish use adverbs "dobrze/źle etc" instead of adjectives "dobry/zły etc"?

I am good/bad etc at (doing something)"
The literally translation could be:
Jestem (nie jestem) w tym dobry.
But the better sounding translation:
Znam się (nie znam się) na tym.

Metric Book Entry
From Latin?
Do you have any more details? They help with translating; the more the better.

Sorry about that. Yes, it's Latin, and it's from a Greek Catholic metric book from 1898-1900. Anything anyone can glean from it would be great. Thanks!

You need someone who specialises in Latin.mine is too poor.
I guess it's a birth record of Basil (Wasyl or Bazyli in Polish but since it's a Greek Catholic book probably the previous).
The headings are missing so it's not only my poor Latin but also guessing in poor Latin.
The first date is usually the day of birth and then the day of baptism. I can't see the month -it was cut out while cropping.
A legitimate child.
The next chart is usually about the parents
Basilius Feredycz (?) Peasant (?) in Jablonka Wyzna of Lucas (?) And Helena nee Stefan.
Sophia Feredycz daughter of Daniel Bzynko (???) and Eufrozja/Eufrozyna nee Iwaniuk.
The last part is usually the godparents.

Hello, I need your help! My grandfather fought in WW1, he was born in Nowosiolky,Tarnopol in 1895, I have his military booklet and would need help to understand what it says, I would like to know where did he fought, if he was injured, etc. I tried translating myself and it is almost impossible with the hand written words. I am attaching a few photos of the booklet. Many thanks in advance for your help! Really appreciate it!

I can't make everything out.
But the first thing is służba w armiach obcych /service in foreign armies. I don't understand the abbrevation but he was a kapral /corporal.
Dark (?) blonde hair (if that's a c for ciemny), blue eyes, dark eyebrows.
As for usta, nos, broda/mouth, nose, chin, I believe they put 'prop.' But I'm not sure. If so it might be short from proporcjonalne meaning regular/in right proportions.
Chest 95/88
Height 168 cm
Sight : normal (?)
General health condition: (category ) 'A', fit/able.
He was wounded in his right leg -w prawą nogę.
Because he was injured/wounded (ranny) he was in hospital in Hungary in 1915.
I can't make out what's written in red.
What I can't understand is last but one page. It says udział w wojnach which roughly translates as participation in wars and they put światowa (?), which suggests a world war but the dates given don't match the dates of ww1 afaik.
He was in the Russian front and a prisoner of war/front rosyjski, niewola.
He was awarded some sort of foreign medal /distinction (?) /odznaczenie zagraniczne but I can't read it.
It would be great if someone else might have a look as well.

Regarding this service in foreign armies abbreviation.
Could it be: 35P. Obr. Kr. ? Maybe then it means '35 Pułk Obrony Krajowej' (national defense regiment) like here:

Ela rules like a grey goose.
To the best of my knowledge it means that someone imposes their will on others, and will have their own way no matter what the opinions of others.
Thanks! I am more interested in what is written, I know some polish but can not "guess" words.
For those wondering, the situation is just fine today :-), or at least OK.

How would you translate "taki wał"?
It depends if it is about people, object or situation. Actually, 3 translations are possible.
If you say it to someone as an answer to somebody's request.
then it means simply 'fvck off'
If you say it to someone as an answer to somebody's request.
in more decent translation, it is called gest Kozakiewicza

the image is not clear - it could be 'łazience': a declination form of bathroom in Polish - but the P letter doesn't fit in there if it's true

Yes, I think it is it. It fits to the text!

I think you can sometimes translate it as 'to exert pressure on somebody' but wait till someone confirms it
Hi, I have anther one. You do not have to translate it (just giving the words are enough, I know some polish):

Kontro
this looks like kontra
10 tys. means 10 thousand
nowa folia - new foil
I don't know how klinkier translates into English
other words I don't recognize - i mean they are proper words in Polish (Lety, petos)
