Could you please help me with the translation of this 18th-century sentence?

Cięzko a raczey niepodobna zapęd zułci i passyi wstrzymać. Co zas w istocie te dwa szczęscia, choc mowic nieszczęscia są nadto z sobą spoione by medium znaleść iakby ie rozłączyć.

Thank you very much in advance!

Which book does this quotation come from? It would be best to translate it into modern Polish first before translating it to English.

The word 'żułć' (moderrn form is' żółć) means something like 'złość, nienawiść' here. The word 'medium' means 'sposób'. Here is my translation into modern Polish:

Ciężko, a wręcz niepodobna, skłonność [pęd] do nienawiści i pasji [miłości] powstrzymać. Te dwa szczęścia, a raczej nieszczęścia, są tak ze sobą spojone, że nie ma sposobu by je rozłączyć.

In other words, the author says that hate and love are the two sides of the same coin and if a person is inclined to follow one path, they will be equally inclined to follow the other as well.

@Ziemowit: I thank you very much for your help, I am so grateful for your help! - the quotation is not taken from a book, but from the unpublished diary of Seweryn Potocki.

Could someone please help to translate the following sentence into English?

Roza iest ze wszech miar dobrą tylko chcę na kommissarstwie utrzymać swoią

You mean this Seweryn Potocki?

the unpublished diary

Do you mean the manuscript of his diary which is perhaps unavailable to historians?


FashionCarpet
  #818
Yes, it's him

The Diary is in French but there are some Polish quotations in it

Roza iest ze wszech miar dobrą tylko chcę na kommissarstwie utrzymać swoią

Rose is good by all means but, as a commissar, I want to maintain/keep mine.

What is Polish equivalent of the phrase "Hug-a-Thug"? The "Hug-" part being "Przytulajcie"? (at least grammatically and/or literally correct)? What is most common Polish word for "Thug"?


pawian  226 | 27198
  #827
Bandyta.
Zbir.
Rzezimieszek.


ForumUser

@pawian
Thank you pawian. Is there equivalent Polish "slang phrase" for the concept of "Hug-a-Thug", or is the Polish translation only grammatical and/or literal? ("Grammatical and/or literal" as in "Przytulajcie bandytę/zbira/rzezimieszek" etc?)

Oops I meant "rzezimieszeka"

I'm trying to figure out this Polish word - me-dah, mida, mee-duh?



Hello, so I started dating a Polish girl a while back and she's been teaching me some of the language. But she's been calling me this word in Polish for the last couple of months and I can't figure out what it is or means. And by now it would seem weird to ask her what it is haha. So if I was to right it out the way it sounds in English it would be something like me-dah, mida, mee-duh. Something like that, any ideas? Thanks

me-dah, mida, mee-duh.

there's no such word in Polish - the closest is the phrase 'mi da' which means: (someone) will give me - (mi here is me, and da - will give)

Looking for definition. Manichevitz



I am not sure this is how you spell it and am almost certain it is wrong. My late Polish mother-in-law used to say this all the time under her breath. I say it now. And I have no idea what it means, how to spell it, if it's actually a word etc. Anyone have an idea. It's not the wine. I checked that out and it's not pronounced the same.

Has Poland established a "slang phrase" for the concept of "Hug-a-Thug" as yet? Or at least only grammatical and/or literal phrase used in Poland? ("Grammatical and/or literal" as in "Przytulajcie bandytę/zbira/rzezimieszka" etc?)
