Short Polish<->English translations

Are you sure it's not "tu laski"?

Perhaps in the middle of a sentence.

Laski can be sticks, and the word laska is about grace. It can also refer to young ladies. Much can be done with word endings in Polish.

Do you have the whole sentence? That would help.

R u sure it was tulaski ? not Pulaski. Pulaski K is a Polish- Amerikan Hero.

translate audio from polish to english

Hi,

Could somebody please help me translate an audio file in polish to english?

Many Thanks

Scott

Of course, naturally!

Here it is:

And I will always love you, will always love you my darling, you...

How long is it and what type of speech/song does it contain? That does make a difference.

It is a very short declaration of love. Simple.

What is 'to come out' in Polish, in reference to announcing one's homosexuality?

Thanks.

Ujawnić- to reveal oneself
Wyjść z szafy- to come out of the closet.

Is there Polish-language equivalent of the phrase "A face only a mother could love"? (such as an informal/slang Polish phrase?) Or in Poland is only the literal translation used? (is it something like "Twarz, która tylko swoja mama mogłaby kochać"?)

People sometimes say "brzydki jak noc" = as ugly as night.

There's also the word "małpolud", someone as ugly as an ape.

"Brzydki jak noc"
Same in German, word for word.

There is no such a fixed phrase similar to that English mother one. But I recently read: odrażająca gęba, będę ją pamiętał do końca życia.

looking for what the context of these 2 messages mean

Hi,
I am having trouble with a meaningful translation for these 2 messages. MY GF states they are meaningless... I am not so sure... Please provide your thoughts on these messages including the use of emojis ... thank you in advance.

The texts mention bear-style hugging which is common between good old friends who haven`t seen each other for a long time. If they were lovers etc, they would talk about kissing and other stuff, while hugging is neutral.

I think you shouldn`t worry - your GF might want to meet her old friends and it is normal. Don`t be too jealous coz you might scare her.

Hi, what does 'włos się jeży na glowie' mean, is it an idiom? dzięki!

Just off the cuff, without the benefit of either a dictionary or context in front of me, I'd venture a spontaneous:
"to have silly notions" or something like that. Don't think it'd have a direct translation in English though.
However the German might read "Flausen im Kopf haben"
This though is pure guesswork:-) Sorry!

@kie
"włos się jeży na glowie" = "Hair-raising" (or similar English-language idioms)

"Włos" = "Hair"
"Jeżyć się" = "To bristle with fear/suspicion" ("Jeży się" or "się jeży" is present-tense conjugation, and specifically 3rd-person singular)
"Na Glowie" = "On/on top of/atop head" ("Glow" = "Head")

Oops, thanks ForumUser!
I was really out of my depth here sans dictionary.

@ForumUser
Oops my bad, it's "...na głowie", and "Głowa" = "Head"

Native speakers are entitled to a few typos:-)
German would read "jemandem die Haare zu Berge stehen"

Cześć, what is maneater in polish? i.e. a a dominant woman who has many sexual partners, dzieki!

Apropos of nothing special, I was just thinking of what would be the Polish translation of "lockdown" and came up with "uziemienie". Don't know how I came up with that, but my Polish contact in Gdansk, seemed to think it sounded allright even though, apparently, the English "lockdown" is often used, albeit with a Polish pronunciation:-)

The Polish translation of slang word "Maneater"/"Man-Eater" is "Modliszka" (according to the English-to-Polish lyrics translation of Hall & Oates 1980s hit song "Maneater")

"...Whoa, oh, here she comes. She's a maneater..." = "...O kurczę, właśnie nadchodzi. To modliszka..."

Maneater means "ludożerca". Modliszka is "Mantis". In your lyrics translation a "praying" mantis simply fits better.

"Maneater" = "Lubojakda", but this time according to the English-to-Polish lyrics translation of Nelly Furtado's 2006 hit song "Maneater":

"...Maneater. Make you work hard. Make you spend all. Make you want all of her love...She's a Maneater. Make you rob cars. Make you cut cards. Make you fall real hard in love. Wish you never ever met her at all..."

"...Lubojadka. Sprawia, że pracujesz ciężko. Sprawia, że wszystko wydajesz. Sprawia, że chcesz jej całą miłość...Jest lubojadką. Sprawia, że rabujesz samochody. Sprawia, że tniesz karty. Sprawia, że wpadasz ciężko w (sieci) miłości. Żałujesz, że ją kiedyś w ogóle spotkałeś..."

Ludojadka

I think modliszka is better

Dzień Dobry.

Please could someone kindly translate these:-

zaczytać
doczytać
wyczytać
naczytać
wczytać
rozczytać
odczytać
przeczytać
poczytać

My słownik isn't that helpful in distinguishing all.

Dziękuje bardzo.

This means read too much, to the point of exhaustion or even metaphorical death or the destruction of the object which is being read. E..g, Józio zaczytał się na śmierć - Joe died while reading too much.
