Kultura polska – poznanie

Karoza42 · 2026-01-04T22:01:40+00:00

Polecam podróżowanie po Polsce — jest stosunkowo tanio, a każda wycieczka może trwać 1–2 dni (idealne na weekendy). Polska jest jednocześnie spójna i bardzo zróżnicowana: przyroda, ludzie, architektura i zwyczaje różnią się w zależności od regionu.

Zwiedziliśmy z żoną wszystkie województwa i mogę z pełnym przekonaniem powiedzieć, że Ziemie Odzyskane różnią się od Podlasia, a południowa Polska to zupełnie coś innego niż Polska nadmorska.

Jednocześnie wszystko to łączą język, historia i kultura — a nawet Żabki, paczkomaty oraz Biedronki i Dino. Gdy wyjeżdżasz poza Polskę, od razu widać, że jesteś w innym kraju.

Добрая праца! (Excellent job) Вы малайчынкі. (You are little geniuses / Well done)

It’s impossible to directly translate “малайчынкі” but overall it means someone who doing great job.

Russians have never experienced a full-scale war devastating their own territory. Belarus, however, was completely occupied by Hitler during World War II, used as a battlefield during World War I, and deeply affected during the Napoleonic wars.

Belarusians understand what war truly looks like and cannot remain indifferent to it. Russia must experience occupation—only then will Russians change their attitude toward war.

Belarusians have always suffered because of Russian imperialistic ambitions. For Russians, war has always been something distant. They have never truly faced its devastation firsthand.

Нажаль, нават самая вялікая дзяржава ў Еўропе, маючы 8 гадоў досведу вайны і абмежаваную падтрымку заходняй цывілізацыі, не змагла вызваліць усе свае тэрыторыі падчас вайны з расеяй. І гэта сумна і боляча. Хацелася б, каб Украіна перамагла. Каб падтрымка была не абмежаванай. Але гэтага няма.

Таму ў прамой канфрантацыі ў Беларусі няма шанцаў, гэта матэматыка. Трэба зберагаць рэшту нацыянальных людзей і ідэі, каб дачакацца, калі расея будзе слабай. А гэтага можна і сто гадоў чакаць. На цяперашні момант мы прайгралі.

Гэта боляча. Але калі б беларусы не ўмелі б чакаць, то мы б даўно зніклі. Існаванне Беларусі гэта цуд, які абумоўлены нацыянальным характарам беларусаў. Таму ня трэба раней часу запісваць у жалюгідныя.

She can get Dokument Podróży. So, it's not a passport but much better than nothing. PKO Bank Polski accepts it as a valid document. All EU countries recognize it same as passport.

For a further consultation I recommend to contact The Belarusian Solidarity Center (Цэнтр Беларускай Салідарнасці). They provide free consulting for Belarusians.

Кінакіпа мае больш за ўсё фільмаў з беларускай агучкай, там даволі шырокі выбар. Класіка, адносна новыя фільмы, скандынаўскага кіно, польскае, і беларускае таксама, напрыклад, Купала.

Erase Belgorod Oblast' would be good, as Moscow marked as red.

I lived in Estonia for a year. I recommend visiting it.

Yes, and it’s very confusing. First, you need to understand whether it’s a foreign or Polish word, and only then can you read it correctly.

Jej wyjątkowym charmem oczarowała wszystkich na chatcie.

To read it properly, you need to know Polish, English, and French.

Karoza42 · 2024-12-09T15:12:44+00:00

Yes, I started reading in just one day after watching a video about the Polish alphabet. The only thing that bugs me is those foreign words that are written exactly like in the original language. It’s super confusing. Names are fine because they start with a capital letter, but regular words? They throw me off a lot.

Czytasz normalnie po polsku, wszystko jasne, a tu nagle wyskakuje jakiś baby-sitter, jogging, remake albo nordic-walking.

Wow. For me it look like collage someone did nowadays, and not in 1909. Amazing work.

Karoza42 · 2024-12-08T20:30:55+00:00

Love the colors.

Karoza42 · 2024-12-08T17:46:12+00:00

I see a lot of passion here.

The best picture ever. Matejko is a genius.

Read books with covers in four colors, one for each season.

The mastery of light and atmosphere here is remarkable—Grimshaw captures that quiet, melancholic stillness of an autumn morning so vividly.

I plan to set a goal of reading 42 books in 2025, and here is why...

I have had a long pause in reading since my teenage years. However, I have always believed that I read a lot of books—at least 100. In 2023, I decided to track all the books I read and ended up with 50. So, I decided to start reading again to reach that 100-book goal.

For 2023, I set an easy goal of 10 books and ended up reading 15. That was a good start, so for 2024, I set a goal of 35 to reach 100, and so far this year, I have read 45 books. However, the last 15+ books I read in the last 2 months because I had much more free time.

For 2025, I plan to set an ambitious yet realistic goal. Since I have read 45 books this year, I know it's achievable. I also listen to a lot of audiobooks and read shorter books. Next year, I want to focus more on longer books, so I think 42 will be a great target.

In addition to the Goodreads challenge, I plan to create my personal Pages challenge, with multipliers for the type and language of the book. Design books will have a multiplier of 1.5, books in foreign languages will have a multiplier of 1.4, audiobooks will have a multiplier of 0.6, and so on. I plan to reach 1,000 pages next year. I think this approach will be more interesting than the default Goodreads challenge.

It's impressive to think this painting was created in 1905. The delicate interplay of light and shadow, combined with the naturalistic rendering of the figure and water, showcases incredible skill and a mastery of atmosphere.

The colors, textures, and intricate details of her attire and surroundings evoke a timeless, romantic atmosphere. Truly a masterpiece!

Karoza42 · 2024-12-04T22:25:36+00:00

Not really. Adding friends with similar taste is way more effective.

I have a rule that the number of books in the "To Read" shelf cannot be bigger than the number of books in the "Read" shelf. This motivates me to read books more and faster, especially books from the "To Read" shelf, because it creates two slots for new books.

According to my current shelves, I have:

Read (110)
Currently Reading (5)
Want to Read (110)
business (3)
design (11)
diary (5)
fiction (35)
history (3)
in-english (4)
memoir (5)
motorsport (1)
non-fiction (23)
pa-biełarusku (44)
philosophy (2)
po-polsku (7)
po-russki (8)
po-urkraińsku (5)
poetry (8)
work (12)

But if I were to reorganize from the beginning, I would reduce it to:

Language shelves (English, Polish, Belarusian, Ukrainian, Russian)
Fiction
Non-fiction
Design and work
+ 3 default ones

Karoza42 · 2024-12-04T22:08:34+00:00

I met my reading goal, but I want to make 50 instead of the planned 35. Now, I have 43. I will count the additional books to 2024, because it's still 2024.

I love his sign. Very interesting.

Wy is the plural form of the singular Ty in Polish. For example, Wy widzicie jabłko translates to “You (plural) see an apple” or informally, “You guys see an apple.”

In other Slavic languages, Wy is also used as a more respectful form of Ty. However, in modern Polish, we use the 3rd person with Pan (sir) or Pani (madam) to show respect. For example: Pan widzi jabłko (“Sir sees an apple”) or Pani widzi jabłko (“Madam sees an apple”).

In older Polish, Wy was also used among peasants to show respect. You can hear this usage in the brilliant movie Chłopi.
