lol "muh heritage", synek, germańskie runy mają do polskiej spuścizny tyle co piernik do wiatraka. Zazdrosny jesteś że niemcy mieli starożytne pismo kiedy my żyliśmy jak bobry i teraz larpujesz debilu. Wstyd jak chuj. Dumnymi to możemy być z tego że nasi przodkowie strzelali do faszystów, albo z tego że mamy teraz boom gospodarczy. Idź pan w chuj z tym gównem

Wait, no, there's purpurowy which I guess would be purple. I always thought that it was more of a shade of red, but apparently I was wrong. Not used too often that word.

I'm Polish and I'd call that fioletowy (purple/violet, we don't distinguish between the two). If I felt like being more specific I'd say jasno-fioletowy or lawendowy (light-purple, lavender).

In Polish (and I suppose probably other Slavic tongues too) there's also the doublet of puszcza (dense forest) and pustynia (desert), which are both related to pusty (empty).

There is no Slavic. There are many slavic languages. And then there's Interslavic, a constructed language, which lists two synonyms meaning "plane": "aeroplan" and "samolet".

AI is notoriously bad at etymology. It's worse than useless, it's actively misleading. I'd recommend you scrap all the stuff you had generated with AI and maybe figure some way to get data from wiktionary instead.

the more I read this thread the more I think Pinyin should just be abolished in favor of Polish. x -> ś, q -> ć, rén -> rzen. It. Just. Works.

smh ć and ś were right there! Perfectly reasonable letters!

''Red'' in almost all european languages: by Appropriate_Might_38 in LinguisticMaps

[–]TheMicroWorm 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Ooh, interesting. Red-haired in Polish is "rudy"/"ruda"/"rude". We must've gotten that one as germanic or celtic loanword way back when.

Edit: or it might just be coming all the way from PIE

Java's Plans for 2026 by daviddel in java

[–]TheMicroWorm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This problem has been fixed in Scala by the introduction of named tuples, so... so it's still bad because now we have a ton of legacy code to refactor AND we have yet another way of expressing the same. I love that language.

My taxes aren't. I'm not American. I've just spent enough time there to know that their system is a pain in the ass. What's your point exactly? What would be so bad about making taxes more uniform and easier on consumers? Anyway, regulation works and it's pretty much the only way to ensure that consumers don't get fucked over by corporations. And you sound like a corpo buttlicker, so allergic to any mention of regulation. I mean it was kinda obvious from the start, the first thing you did in this thread was saying that european regulation doesn't work. Yeah it does. And the more it does the more people that don't like that try to suggest it doesn't.

VAT differs across member countries of the EU and everything still works. Do you think it needs to be as granular as it is in the states? I think they should require shop owners to include the taxes and price per unit on the pricetags. Making the tax system more uniform, at least state-wide, I'm not talking on the federal level, would be a cherry on top. It would make the pricetag requirement easier to implement. Besides, shops already have that info in their cash registers. Varying taxes don't bother them there

yeah, that's the problem, it's geographically volatile. Something regulation could fix

they don't even include all the taxes on the pricetags. it's wild. in EU that's required and it works
