Short Polish<->English translations

@Ernestoc
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:
pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/35_Pu%C5%82k_Piechoty_Obrony_Krajowej

@Looker
Quite possibly

Ela rządzi się jak szara gęś (let somebody translate this idiom for English)


czeka na odmrożenie wody i ogrzewa dom
Waits for defrosting (thawing) water and heats the house with gas and electricity

Thanks Looker!

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'

in more decent translation, it is called gest Kozakiewicza

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bras_d%27honneur

Thanks, just what I thought :-)

Sorry, I have another one: What is the polish word? Or spell out the letters: Lazeuce??
i.imgur.com/3uwPmFQ.png

Or maybe it is like this (but i think the capital P is short for a person):
i.imgur.com/RbSrbOp.png

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

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

przypierać przyprzeć

Hi,

Please can someone kindly explain what this noun means?

i've found that 'przypierać kogoś do muru' means 'push/drive somebody to the wall'

Thanks.

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):
10 tys: no-
wa folia
klinkier
Lety??, Kontro(la)??
Ela petos??

i.imgur.com/bSKW12r.png

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)

Kontra would mean that we did not want to pay 10 tys.
What does Lety and petos mean in polish?

@Poland100
They don't mean anything.
Kontra might have been used in another context.
It looks like a list of expenses (or something similar) concerning construction or reconstruction of something.
It's totally out of context. When was it written?

What's in the line under petos?
Lety - it's probably another word quickly noted.

It is easy - Polish word comes from English clinker brick, used as pavement stones..

These are short notatoions. Someone wanted us to pay10 tys for nowa folia and klinkier.
But we did say no. So kontra would mean that we said no, basically.
I do not know what Lety would or petos means.

I did not include the last line because I thought it was not necessary:
But it is:
snieg Zak(opane?):

I meant they are not proper words in Polish, sorry i omitted the 'not'

snow Zakopane, a mountain resort.
