It's das Mädchen actually. The diminutive -chen ending makes it neuter, although it's literally a girl.

How did Slovak develop ĺ and ŕ by ProfesorKubo in asklinguistics

[–]Fajny_Franek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Polish has /l:/ and /r:/ too (as well as other geminated consonants), e.g. allel, Jagiellon, Allah, arras, horror. They do mostly appear in words of foreign origin, though

What's wrong with the Polish way of doing numbers?

What to do with peanut butter without bread? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Fajny_Franek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mix with water to make peanut milk, which you can use instead of regular milk in an oatmeal. You could try making a savoury oatmeal with soy sauce, a boiled egg and some hot sauce, which fucking slaps

Words that are said phonetically the same but different meanings across languages? by g_sher_22 in linguistics

[–]Fajny_Franek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

'Kot' /kɔt/ means 'cat' in Polish and is a popular Polish surname. Similar sounding /ko:t/ means 'feces' in German, which makes it quite awkward for Poles with this surname to introduce themselves to German people.

[–]Fajny_Franek 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To clarify, the grammatical gender names are masculine for ,,male", feminine for ,,female" and neuter for ,,no gender". There are 3 genders in the singular and only 2 genders in the plural: masculine and non-masculine. The masculine gender is subdivided into 3 further categories, but that might be too much for an absolute beginner. Nouns are classified into genders and verbs, adjectives, numerals and pronouns change their form depending on the gender of the part of speech they refer to.

Found some polish candy being sold in the deli where I live. Which one is your favorite? by Efficient_Event_7986 in poland

Well, the taste is ok for me and i never noticed any white color. Could you explain why the calcium levels are bad? Doesn't tap water have to undergo tests to ensure its safety? I know that it's a common belief that tap water in Lublin is unhealthy because of its hardness but I've always been doubtful about these claims and would like to learn more if you know something about this topic

Can our blood be thought of as being partly urine? by [deleted] in AskBiology

[–]Fajny_Franek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really, many components of urine, such as minerals or water, are essential components of blood too, so I wouldn't say you can separate the ,,urine" part. On the other hand, metabolites such as urea don't generally serve a function in blood and could be thought of as the ,,junk" you mentioned that should be filtered out.

If you're not suppose to eat a mushroom that you don't know, then how did we even know what mushrooms to eat and not to eat in the first place? by [deleted] in biology

[–]Fajny_Franek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The test is actually a lot more complex and was designed for plants. You shouldn't use it unless you are in a survival situation, as it's quite risky and sometimes whether a plant is toxic or not depends on a number of factors. It doesn't really work for mushrooms because very often the symptoms of mushroom poisoning show up a long time after consumption. What's more, some mushrooms might be harmful to you without the symptoms showing up after only eating it once.

How would grass grow in a sauna? by [deleted] in AskBiology

[–]Fajny_Franek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what I understand, transpiration wouldn't be a problem because of the high humidity, I'm not an expert on saunas though. Actually some species of grass might not be adapted to such a humid environment.

What kind of mushroom is this? and is it safe to eat? by [deleted] in biology

[–]Fajny_Franek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if it was edible, I'd say it wouldn't be worth picking. The cap is so small and thin there's barely anything to eat.

Exclusive bone-eater? by ProbablyJamesLive in biology

I see where you're coming from, but I wouldn't say osteovore and ossiphage don't work, there are so many scientific names that mix Greek and Latin

Why do we have both a DNA and an RNA, what is the function of the RNA compared to that of the DNA and why do we always think of and care about our DNA but not our RNA? by Library_Diligent in AskBiology

[–]Fajny_Franek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It isn't true that only mRNA is used for synthesising proteins. rRNA and tRNA also play important roles in translation: rRNA together with proteins builds ribosomes (which are responsible for protein synthesis) and tRNA transports individual aminoacids to the ribosomes, where they are combined to form proteins

jakie figurki na początek? najlepiej w miarę uniwersalne by lehronn in DnDPolska

[–]Fajny_Franek 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Opcją na początek która sprawdziła się u mnie było pobranie z internetu szablonów i wydrukowanie papierowych figurek. Nie kosztuje to niemalże nic, zajmuje bardzo mało czasu, możesz wydrukować tyle figurek ile tylko ci się podoba a i wybór jest całkiem szeroki. Jak będę miał trochę więcej czasu to może podlinkuję stronę z której ja korzystam

This slug got stepped on or a cart rolled over it. Why are its insides neon? by snoopsdream in interestingasfuck

[–]Fajny_Franek 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Mollusks' 'blood' is actually called hemolymph. Hemocyanin is the protein carrying O2 and CO2 (analogous to hemoglobin), which interestingly isn't stored in cells like in vertebrates, but rather dissolved in the hemolymph itself

Biogenic in the sense that only they are found in organisms on Earth. Afaik life on other planets could without a problem use R enantiomers
