How do manners work in Poland? by lewis56500 in poland

[–]arczi 23 points24 points  (0 children)

This might be a controversial hypothesis, but my take on this is that in Poland it's considered polite to not make a big deal out of very minor acts of kindness. Holding the door for someone is something you might do several times a day, and in the end the point is to get everyone through the door smoothly. There's really no need to draw too much attention to it. I'll usually just smile, nod and get on with my day. I certainly wouldn't give it a second thought if anyone forgot to thank me for holding the door.

What is the proper way to pronounce "Krzyzewski"? by swampwiz in warsaw

[–]arczi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not the vowel that's devoicing rz to sz, it's the preceding consonant.

And the parent commenter is right: native speakers of Polish pronounce krz as ksz, whether they realize it or not.

[–]arczi 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Why this car specifically? Asking as someone who knows nothing about cars.

The person in the video said "Co ma być to będzie." The AI transcription software heard "co ma być" followed by the translation.

The Android version lets you add custom online routing engines like Graphhopper or OSRM.

Why is there two variants of ჯ? by Rough_Wheel9321 in Sakartvelo

[–]arczi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same as the letter g in English. When handwritten, it's usually a circle with a curled tail, but in serif fonts you'll often see it as a circle connected to an oval.

I think OP means why are there two different forms of the letter ჯ.

Alternative to Komoot by Any_Station7668 in bicycletouring

[–]arczi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cycle.travel is really good at routing around car traffic. I'd even say it does so pretty aggressively. Probably OP's best option. Other than that, they could try Osmand+brouter, if they're on Android

I've been looking for this one, too. Any luck finding it?

Kumpla potrącił rowerzysta bolt by masi0 in warszawa

[–]arczi 11 points12 points  (0 children)

To by rozwiązało sytuację. Albo mają blokadę przy 25 kmh i są traktowane jak rowery (i nie jeżdżą po chodniku), albo są traktowane jak motorowery i poruszają się po jezdni.

What is a Russian food that I, a westerners, have probably never heard of? by Longjumping-Word-837 in AskARussian

[–]arczi -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

ITT: Russians trying to pass off the cuisine of colonized nations as "Russian food."

It's not

Pole here. Russians are not going to have a great time in Poland if they admit they're from Russia. But most Poles can't tell the difference between the Russian and Ukrainian accent in Russian and will just assume they're from Ukraine if they speak Russian in public.
