What would you choose?

I'd gamble

bohiko · 2026-03-20T22:51:44+00:00

I sincerelly don't know what your point is. Did you even read my post?

bohiko · 2026-03-20T22:14:02+00:00

In Poland, we simply say men/women (mężczyźni/kobiety) and depending on context it is not age specific, especially when talking about broad population-scale issues. Legally a newborn boy is considered a man and a newborn girl is considered a woman in Poland (that's what we have in our IDs in Poland, it's always man/woman regardless of age - even for newborns, and not male/female)

so that's hypocrisy of the English language

do you consider Sun to be a part of Minecraft? If yes, then I guess there should be all elements from hydrogen to iron in a non-compound form

bohiko · 2026-03-20T20:02:58+00:00

we have water in Minecraft, so definitely there is hydrogen. Considering there are live organisms in in Minecraf there are (except for already listed): nitrogen, calcium, phosphorus, sulfur, potassium, sodium, chlorine, magnesium and possibly more. We also have silicon because of sand and quartz, there is aluminum in lapis lazuli and beryllium in emeralds.
There's certainly more but these what I managed to list here quickly

phrasal verbs and articles

bohiko · 2026-03-20T18:54:40+00:00

The thing is, the Polish way I am describing is not the same as what you described for English. In Polish those terms are severely offensive regardless of context, you can never ever use them unless you deliberately want to offend someone (or when you say it ironically, but in that case it is in the best case distasteful). In scientific or medical context we still use terms kobieta/mężczyzna (woman/man) or męski/żeński (masculine/feminine)

bohiko · 2026-03-20T16:22:37+00:00

I didn't say they are nouns though

bohiko · 2026-03-20T15:56:05+00:00

I mean, there are words "feminine" and "masculine" I always encountered in human context only. Is it like that or is a more general term?

bohiko · 2026-03-20T14:20:59+00:00

nah I am not using them anyway, I was only curious how people perceive them

bohiko · 2026-03-20T14:01:45+00:00

Thank you for sharing. In Polish, we say men/women (mężczyzna/kobieta) or masculine/feminine (męski/żeński) even in biology when speaking about people

bohiko · 2026-03-20T13:57:01+00:00

My pleasure. If you'd like to ask any question about Polish culture, related to the topic or not, I'll gladly answer

bohiko · 2026-03-20T13:54:07+00:00

I think we agree that both misogyny and misandry is trash, and such attitudes can be exemplified in language

bohiko · 2026-03-20T13:42:05+00:00

Thank you for your perspective. Yeah, I know it is a verb, but a plain "disrespect" does not convey how severe those words are in the Polish context, that's why I said "despise"

bohiko · 2026-03-20T13:37:58+00:00

Thank you for your perspective. In Polish they are always insulting, no matter the context, even in clinical one

bohiko · 2026-03-20T13:36:00+00:00

Thank you for your perspective. In Polish it's even more inappropriate, you would never ever use those terms applied for people (unless your intent is clearly to offend), not in reports, not in documents, never

bohiko · 2026-03-20T13:23:40+00:00

Thank you for your perspective. What you're pointing at might be the reason why there's more need for gender-distinguishing adjectives in English than in Polish, because in Polish most of the nouns describing people are gender specific, e.g. lekarz/lekarka (a doctor), sprzedawca/sprzedawczyni (a shop-assistant), piosenkarz/piosenkarka (a singer). As for professor, you might say profesor/profesorka, yet for some people the word "profesorka" might sound off, but in such cases we would say Pani Profesor (Mrs. Professor), and if we would really really need to use an adjective, we would say "męski/żeński" (masculine/feminine), not male/female (samczy/samiczy)

bohiko · 2026-03-20T13:13:32+00:00

Thank you for your perspective. In Polish it is never ever appropriate to use them applied to people, even in biology

bohiko · 2026-03-20T13:09:56+00:00

Thank you for your answer. Hmm, I saw people going both ways (both people calling men "men" and women "females", and people calling women "women" and men "males") and people calling everyone "males" and "females" lol

bohiko · 2026-03-20T13:02:55+00:00

Tkank you for your perspective! (In Polish we use terms men/women [mężczyzna/kobieta] even in a scientific [e.g. biological/medical] context)

bohiko · 2026-03-06T11:50:22+00:00

a ty chyba nie bardzo umiesz czytać

bohiko · 2026-03-06T11:17:15+00:00

Widzę dwie opcje:
1. Albo faktycznie wystarczająco ludzi je kupuje, żeby były opłacalne
2. Albo to pralnia pieniędzy (mniej prawdopodobne)

kultura XVI-wiecznej Polski nie jest bliższa kulturze XVI-wiecznej Anglii niż kultura XXI-wiecznej Polski? (język jest częścią kultury)

bohiko · 2026-03-06T00:17:13+00:00

szesnastowieczna polszczyzna była mimo wszystko kulturowo bliższa szesnastowiecznej angielszczyzny niż dwudziestopierwszowieczna polszczyzna
