It is not now,I tought about 100 years ago. I am sure it was used .
you are right Iwona. Grammatical person is also still used in Poland by some children to address their parents as a sign of respect. Example: Czy Mama moglaby poczekac? Could Mother wait?
i know lots of polish people.. every single one of them is rude.. but not in the same way. so i'm guessing it might just be bad luck with me. because if all polish people where rude, they would be rude in a similar way..
one girl is rude because she will always butt into a conversation that had nothing to do wit her and argue with all of us...
another boy is rude in the way that he will always ask things of you and expect it. but when you ask things of him. he will blunt and say..GET lost.
overall i think polish people hav different customs thats all.. at least i hope. because no one race can be rude. there's good and bad people in all races..
One polish friend from high school always had a way of being really nice and sweet but very distant from those she spent most her time with. Some people would think she is weird, or uncomplementary, but it just takes time to get to know some people and it turns out she has a very interesting personality / sense of humour. Like anyone, it takes some time to warm up. No need to be offended; Respect for self is always most important. :)
hello everyone, im an italian guy living in ireland for 6 years and i have to say that the situation here is not easy either, 150.000 poles in a country of 4.000.000
people is a outrage, and the thing to make me angry most is the use of signs for poles who doesn't speak english, as far as i remember nobody was putting signs in italian when i came over to help me interacting with people.

Was there a large influx of Italians moving to Ireland at the time you moved there?

Evangelion, can I, as an Irishman, profusely apologise and offer you the use of my home for the remainder of your stay in Ireland to make up for the dreadful, unrequited sleight you suffered at the hands of my fellow countrymen...
I shudder to think, at how you felt as an Italian, coping bravely in the land of the most unfriendly and surly nation on earth......it must have been ever so difficult.
PS Can I ask why you've stayed for a whole 6 yrs, in this, the most dreadful of countries?
You have a point. Most Americans are rude, yet not all. Still, when you walk down the streets and someone bumps inot you, what would happen in Poland, or NYC? think about this...
i've been 6 years in ireland because, first i wanted to learn english, second because after a few weeks i met the girl who is still my girlfriend, so that's the story .
you are right man, ireland is tough but never had much trouble, after all this time i know a lot of people. to continue with the polish thing, i would like to add that i know a lot of them and are good people, but the thing that they have all in common is that they are ******* greedy, and for 2 euro they would be able to do anything.
and again, i can understand that they have the chanche of their life to make money buy explain me why all this steroid pumped guys are goin around thinking they are hollywood stars, and not speaking about the girls that they are even worst, fake tan, ***** dresses, and so on, like hey! look at me im the best looking girl around.
oh! yeah! we have the same in italy on the motorway.
yeah well, when they come to the store and ask me " give me bag" my balls start to trottle a lot, as everyone knows that english language is a cold language and without thanks or please its sounds very rude, but if you are a scumbag the thing doesn't apply.
The English Guy / Polish girl thing usually fails because of cultural misunderstandings.
The other allowance in the accent. -- Say 6-7-8 quickly in Polish and feel what part of the mouth you are using and combine that with the natural upward lanuage stress on the penultimate syllable in Polish. Now say something using a sarcastic intonation in English.
English people in London just think that Poles with otherwise perfect English are being sarcastic so in turn they are frosty in return so Polish people think that English people are being unfriendly.
They just don't understand the accent so don't make allowances -- as opposed to French, German any or western european language that they were more familiar with.
Not trying to be controversial or accord to a stereotype but in London at the moment you do see it time and time again.

But English people are masters at good sarcasm. Why would they be offended by Polish being sarcastic?
What a ridiculous and biased question is this. Let me enlighten you according to the opinion of my irish/english friend who lives in brazil europeans are rude and he left europe for brazil because of the general antagonistic culture. For example europeans begin at a early age teasing and abusing each other for whatever reason, this is true in the USA as well as there is a plethora of ethnic slurs and jokes that is rampant and common among children and last through adulthood generally and obviously. In Brazil no such thing exists there does not exist any ethnic slur for anyone black white or anyone else everyone is respected. Brasilians and poles are somewhat alike in this manner. In brasil people do not discriminate nationalities everyone is on equal footing, children in schools from my experience are much more gentle and embracing than americans and europeans, and my irish friend can back this up. Just look at carnaval in brazil how loving and embracing it is of all nations and especially the native indians and downcast africans and how accepted this ceremony is by all peoples of brasil including the european descendants. Learn from them how to put a stop to the rudeness. Just one more example , look at the brazilian soccer players how nice and clean they play and what good loosers they are which makes them into the real winners even when they loose which is not often. So are poles rude, I dont think so, Every european has their hands dirty in rudeness and poles probably much less than others.
They don't understand that the Poles are being sincere. They are genuinely saying something not being sarcastic.
Try it youself with the szesc-siedem-osiem -- you're using the "roof of your mouth" to form the words which is quite common in Slavonic lanuages. This is uncommom for "mouth shape" naturalized english speakers.
how could the poles ever be rude , did they enslave anyone, not ever. Where they massacered recently by both neighbors yes and maybe that left some trauma. But also they are more gentle and peace loving yet truly heroic when the going gets tough. And this is proven by their history of accepance and egalitarian ideals.

Maybe, but I didn't have much problem with it. Probbaly I am in general bit sarcastic:)
I do agree with this, and I think everyone is capable of rudeness, just dont wake up on the wrong side of the bed thats all!! :)
MY dad could be rude, but it wasnt cause of him being Polish. he just didnt have patience!! thats why people are rude, because they want it now, pronto!! or they cant tolerate waiting, or get angry when something is out of place.
Or they snub people for not being like them. thats extremely rude. rude is mostly unacceptance of something you dont like.
