They mean the same. I would say that "popsuty" is somewhat more colloquial.

Polish also has a number of forms for "oboje", but indeed that's a different "both" from what you'd asked about:-)

Merged: AKURAT
"Akurat" - to słowo, które słyszę codziennie, w wielu sytuacjach i coraz mniej rozumiem. Od czasu do czasu trafię w sedno z tym - ale nawet wtedy nie wiem dokładnie co powiedziałem :)
bardzo proszę o definicje, przkłady, równoważne zwroty w języku angielskim, i takie tam
z góry dziękuję

mpesow
Either misspelled or it's an unknown acronym.
dales
If this word would be "dalej", the sentence could be translated as:
Is this guy from 'MPS' still missing?
maybe MOPS = social assistance office ???
Tego goscia z MOPSu nadal nie ma? Is the guy from MOPS still not here?
Tego goscia z MOPSu nadal nie ma? Is the guy from MOPS still not here?

" Trzydzieści minut żebrania przed, nie jest grą wstępną!"
Thirty minutes of begging is not a foreplay!
Without 'a' and it's perfect :-)
Many thanks for help!
Have a nice day.

Merged:Centrum Opiekuńczo-Wychowawcze and Ośrodek Szkoleniowo-Edukacyjny
The wychowanie/wychowawcze business is a pain to translate into English. Also, how about this: Nie tylko centra oświatowo-wychowawcze ale także ośrodki szkoleniowo-edukacyjne uczestniczą w...bla-bla, ple-ple...
Some of those things sound like bureau-gibberish from the commie years in Poland, but they still function so there has to be a nice way to translate them. Esp. centra & ośrodki!

[Moved from]: Meaning of Profesor dr "rehabilitowany"?
How does one translate this into proper English: prof. dr hab. Mieczysław Srajda
Not being one much for stuffed-shirt titles I often jokingly say Profesor dr "rehabilitowany" in Polish,
Seriously though, would we just say Professor Mieczysław Srajda in English?

It basically means that this man, being a doctor, received the habilitation qualification. Then he became professor, but the title "dr habilitowany" remains, however it is used only in writing. So yes, we can say Professor ... in English.

Merged: help with translation
Hello everyone,
Can somebody please help me with an English-to-Polish translation. I am writing an article about start-up companies dealing in trade receivables / factoring business, and I am strugguling with the phrase "receivables exchange" (such as the U.S. company recx.com/)
I managed to find two possible translations being "giełda należności" or "giełda wierzytelności".
Which one would be more appropriate? What is the difference between "należności" and "wierzytelności"?

należności is close to payment while wierzytelności is close to debt

I've had to look most of these up, so wait for a second opinion:)
if you are amazed or in disbelief about something, your jaw drops. If you have to pick it off the floor, then you're really amazed :)

Aaa thanks so much, especially the 2nd one has made my life easier:)
kiszony = sour pickle or brine cured pickle
I think it's a cultural thing. In the Anglo and maybe even most of the Western world pickling implies curing something in a vinegar-based marinade. Polish differentiates between marynowane (marinated in a vinegar solution) and kiszony (brine cured without any vinegar). So waht are known as pickled cucumbers in Polish can be konserwowe (used instead of marynowane) or kiszone or kwaszone (brine cured). Sauekraut in Polish is kapusta kiszona. The term konserwowy also means tinned or canned, so groszek konserwowy would mean tinned peas without any vinegar. Smacznego!
