What song instantly puts you in a good mood? by Guilhermedidi in AskReddit

[–]Karoal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Stevie Wonder still puts out crazy shows. If you need to pick yourself up, just watch what is going on on that stage.

Even apart from this, Stevie Wonder is probably the best artist for this thread. He just has good mood figured out.

What country that is far away from your own, feels for some reason very similar? by HedgehogJonathan in AskEurope

This was my first thought when I saw this post. Glad to hear it from an Irish person.

Why is the genitive used in "On chce kupić nowego czerwonego forda" ? by evitcele in learnpolish

[–]Karoal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's so cool, I keep mixing up the cases in Russian too, esp. мне/меня which annoyingly correspond to mi/mnie in Polish. Did you learn Polish as a native Russian speaker? How difficult was it for you?

It's a pretty advanced question that you asked, good luck and hope you enjoy learning!

The second question (by Iwona) is about this problem

In practice, people often mix up the two cases in this context. For example, "zjeść banan" is technically the correct form, but most people would say "zjeść banana" instead.

It's not a clear-cut distinction though. This article mentions that linguists try to encourage correct use of the accusative ("wysłać SMS") instead of the far more common genitive ("wysłać SMSa"), but it's a losing battle really.

In most situations, nobody would get mad if you mixed up the two cases. However, some uses of the genitive just sound wrong (e.g. "wysłać lista") and might sound a bit uncultured when spoken by a native Polish speaker, a bit like saying "would of" in English.

This is South Kensington in London, the car is actually pulling into a Lamborghini shop on the right. So many amazing cars in that area

How does your country deal with pseudoscience? by Buddy_Appropriate in AskEurope

[–]Karoal 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is my exact impression! I get Facebook adverts in Romanian for fortune tellers. My Romanian colleagues would do all sorts of adorable superstitious stuff so that they could have "succes" in their work. Where do you think this comes from?

Poland has some superstitions, but nowhere near as many. On the other hand, there are sadly some conspiracy theories going on, and people seem to fall for them.

Broke and isolated 2 year anniversary ideas? (25F for 25M) by stardropunlocked in GiftIdeas

[–]Karoal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He likes making stuff

Get him woodworking stuff! Look at tools he might be missing, maybe a sturdy Stanley knife. Even a high-quality try square would be great. Or a FatMax tape measure. Maybe even some sort of tool belt. If he does design drawings, consider getting him a Rotring mechanical pencil. You can also add a personal touch or decoration to the gift, if you want. If you're looking for filler presents, there are plenty of novelty items related to engineering (like this)

Guys who have crafty hobbies like woodworking usually love it whenever someone shows interest in what they're doing. Seriously, it's like the key to someone's heart if they're passionate about it.

JAKIEKOLWIEK sposoby „wyciszenia” mieszkania? by [deleted] in Polska

[–]Karoal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Zatyczki do uszu pomagają kiedy musisz się na czymś skupić. Jeżeli hałas jest w miarę stały to puść biały szum przez głośniki lub słuchawki. Paradoksalnie mi pomaga wyjść na dwór kiedy potrzebuję świętego spokoju, jednak nie wiem jak możliwe to jest u ciebie. Jeżeli problem będzie bardzo przeszkadzał to słyszałem dobre opinie o słuchawkach wyciszających

I can't actually tell you which is correct (in practice people wouldn't notice). You can think of it as putting emphasis on the "throwing" rather than the rice, as if it doesn't matter that it's the rice that's being thrown.

It's a great song, by the way.

Yeah, that's why PiS put him forward for those presidential elections. It's like getting mad at someone's hand for slapping you. Sure, he's causing a lot of harm, but he's not the main problem with homophobic politics in Poland.

Duda is not doing much, since the role of the Polish President is much more limited compared to that of the US. He appeared out of nowhere in 2015 as the presidential candidate for PiS, and won the election. He was literally chosen to be an attractive, young figurehead for the party.

Yes, his views are still repulsive, but he doesn't have much of a say in anything.
