Polish people and TV Series - so good and hilariously spot on :)

I quite don`t know what he now knows of himself. He died in a car accident some 10 years ago.

Dude! You didnt recognize him from Game of Thrones?? He played the High Sparrow.


Sounds like latino music, but worse.

To put a cross on myself, is that Joker? As the proverb says.. Without the old man, there is no punch.

Im with you on that:)

I watched the first episode of 1670 and I love it and hate it at the same time.

I think I'll watch the rest. :)

Tell me dobri brate, did the movie mention us Serbs? At least a tiny sentence?

It mentioned Sarmats which is the same thing, isn't it? ;)

I thought there was a bit of Serb in each of us... and a bit of Neanderthal.

It's the same, yes and no. The term Sarmatians was first invented because Greeks/Romans were not able to pronounce `Srb` form of Sarmatian name with which they were first in contact. Then,... Serbs of Shtokavian linguistic dialect (designate them as Balkan Serbs). Roman provinces of Ilirya, Dalmatia, Moesia, and Panonnia. Minimum. So old chronicles even speak of Serbs Serbs in the sense of real Serbs, core Serbs, overlords to other Slavs/Serbs. And Serbs in a wide sense and that all Slavs come from Serbs. Very true historically valid recording. Then, later, after the Roman empire collapsed, when European politics became more complicated name Sarmatians was used to replace name of Serbs (it was official politics involved in science), and then also started stating how Slavs aren`t Sarmatians and how are Slavs newcomers to Europe. This view comes with the ideology of Drang Nach Osten.

Still, it's one episode of the series, maybe they mention Serbs till the end. That is if the series is historically accurate. Because the complete doctrine of horse riding that is the focus of the series originates from Balkan Serbs. Not to mention that at that time, in these events in series, Serbs from the Balkan did rode with Poles. And in many other occasions.

It's just a comedy series, dobri brate. I doubt if the aim of its creators was historical accuracy.

In Dinaric Serbs (tallest and most robust Europoids, two types- robust and gracial- for example, Nikola Tesla was gracial Dinaric Serbian) is the biggest preservation of Neanderthal genetics. To those who don`t know, Neanderthals are confirmed to be the first Whites (their skin was pale) and the first human inhabitants of Europe that we know of. And they were not other species of humans but humans accommodated to life conditions in cold climates. By the science, Neanderthals came in contact with newcoming humans that appeared in Europe from Anatolia (out of Africa theory). They wared and they mixed.

By some sources, during WWII, Hitler ordered experiments with most yellow-haired German woman and Serbian Dinarics picked among imprisoned Serbian officers. Many woman was inseminated.

I finished watching 1670 yesterday. I watched it in Polish audio, with English subtitles.

In the end, I enjoyed it very much. My favorite character was the xenophobic homeless nobleman, Bohdan.

Polish humor is very similar to Russian humor. I was watching the series with an American, and many moments where I would explode laughing - they did not understand.

I've seen bits and pieces (will start watching episodes today) and have no idea how it can be translated with humor intact.....

It's why I had to watch it in Polish (there was no Russian dubbing).

I started watching it in English, and kept drawing blanks on the punchlines.

Edit: The Polish had a lot more vulgarity than the English. It seems Polish is similarly rich to Russian, in its vulgarity. English is limited by the very few permutations of just three words to express the full range of the human condition.

I don't think you knew that in Polish you can:
przypierdolić
zapierdolić
podpierdolić
wpierdolić
odpierdolić
napierdolić
spierdolić
dopierdolić
przepierdolić
popierdolić
and so on, because this is only a fraction of the possible uses of the word "pierdolić".

@Alien

Don't forget you are talking to a Russian.

In Russian, there is a crude alternative to the word describing female genitalia. Without further deliberation,I will say that this word is «пизда» (pizda). Unlike your pierdole, it alone has many multiverses more of meaning.

It can mean to steal. But it can also mean to f*ck somebody up physically. It can mean unnecessary running of the mouth. It can describe an important component of a large machine assembly. It can describe the eventual end of all humanity.

You joke with the wrong persons.

That's the most panslavic word ever.


Yip. Podpiździć. e.g Jakieś janusze próbowały podpiździć młotek bezpieczeństwa ale jest na lince. (also podpierdolić - which can have another meaning of snitching on somebody)


Yip. Przypiździć (an elegant variant of przypierdolić). e.g. Wkurwił Stefana, bo podwalał się do jego laski, więc mu przypiździł w ryj.

If you hit something yourself, it becomes pizdnąć (e.g. Ale pizdnął w to drzewo! To musiało boleć!)


Hmm... not sure about this one.


Here we can only say pierdolnik (e.g. Jakiś pierdolnik odpadł of tej maszyny i nie wiem jak go z powrotem zamontować.). I'm afraid we don't have "pizdnik".


Naturally. That's when all things go w pizdu.

"W pizdu" can also be used for a general failure...



Of course, Crow will now appear and say that both Russians and Poles can go v pizdu materinu, and he will give us 297 uses of пизда in Serbian. :D

Though not much used in modern Polish to refer to a feature of female anatomy.... (a word beginning with c seems to be far more common).....

@Maf

Correct. 'Pizda' is slightly more vulgar than 'cipa', and both are used rather rarely for the purpose you mention, for which the diminutive of the latter ('cipka') is used most commonly.

Пиздеть. Whereas пиздить still means to steal or to beat someone. If someone's said too much, and got his ass beat for that - допизделся. Yet, the people that did that to him - отпиздили. If someone took something that was not his - спиздил.


You misunderstand. We are discussing a пиздюлина (pizdyulina). A small, potentially insignificant, implement of a greater whole. Admittedly, much less popular than a хуевина (huyevina), or even a поебень (poyeben).

This all reminds me of a joke about how the CIA managed to plant a wiretap at a Soviet submarine shipyard, and after many years of listening in they learned that a Russian submarine consists of only three components - a poyeben', a huyovina', and a pizdyulina'.

Years ago a friend who spent a couple of years in the PRL described a train trip (overnighter). Somehow the first conductor took his ticket and didn't return it and when the second conductor came by he was totally blanking on the word for 'took'

Inny konduktor..... took mój bilet!

Pierwszy konduktor.... took it!

Other passengers were no help whatsoever...

He had been specially learning Polish profanity and finally he blurted out "Konduktor zapierdolił mi bilet!" and everyone froze in shock... the conductor slowly backed out of the compartment and left him alone.

Lucky guy. I had some Polish hooligan put me in a headlock for using the word kurwa on the warsaw-berlin train about 10 years ago. I guess the context was way different.

I remember when one person saying the k-word outloud shocked an entire streetcar full of people into silence....

A few years later kids sayind k-word this, ch-word that, d-word other p-word, j-word (hardly a sentence without two or three) and people just sighed.....

I think one of the cultural turning points was when they used the k-word just once (and discretely) in one of the later seasons of ranczo, just as a test to see how people would react ;)

By that time the change had happened on the ground (and in public transportation) years previously....

what the underground, the tram, and on the metro is totally different culture to what is broadcast in primetime/family time on tvp1 or polsat.

"1670" won at "Polish Oscars" (Orły 2024) as the best TV series! :))):

So... how about a second season? Netflix, hop, hop, hop! ;D

It's official - there's going to be a second season of "1670"! :))):

Amazing.

I really want to learn more about how the religion of the Kapelusznik will develop. He is a fearsome God, and one I have come to grudgingly respect.

hey why sometimes I watch polish tv and I can understand almost everything, like the entire thing, but other times i watch and I can't understand the words in the sentence, are there accents in Poland, and is there segmentation when it comes to specific shows to specific audiences depending on geolocation and IQ.
