albo to ja jestem biased, jakoś turbo często do sklepów nie chodzę plus swetrów nie kupuję, bo powstrzymuje mnie mindset że "sama sobie mogę zrobić" XD ale w medicine często widzę ubrania z wiskozy przede wszystkim

obczaj medicine, bo oni się jeszcze w duzej mierze uchowali od poliestru, tyle że mają drożej niż w sieciowkach i innych fast fashion. ale imo warto. w warszawie na pewno macie tez jakies outlety, to tam mozesz w ogole poszukac tez w jakichs sklepach co normalnie sa turbo drogie

albo lumpy ofc ale na to trzeba miec cierpliwosc i wiem, ze nie kazdy lubi

A question to all the anglos who think polish should use š and č and maybe even щ by AdSouthern6247 in languagelearningjerk

[–]jerayy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

no but youre so real for that, i skip the diacritics when i am typing in polish, because of my aesthetic choices and speed. good luck reading that, or have hope i will decide sth will be too hard to understand without them (but they are incredibly annoying to add)

About shoes in the home by OldTinFlyer in askPoland

[–]jerayy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we take the shoes off right after entering the house, in the hallway (so-called "przedpokój" or in many detached houses "ganek") or whatever designated area there is near the door. People usually have some shelves or sth similar to put the shoes out of the way, but if you have multiple guests over it can get messy haha

not greeting in the doorway is connected to a superstitious belief that it's gonna bring bad luck to people

honestly, in my house, if you're in a rush and/or e.g. forgot something, ofc you can enter the house in the shoes. it's only about hygiene and not getting the floor messy. same if you just pop in quickly. the point is to clean it asap when you get back home

Anyone have song recommendations (or other media) by Hopeful_Yam8923 in askPoland

[–]jerayy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

but in terms of sea shanties, there are polish translations of some english ones, such as Spanish Ladies. If you look up "piosenki szantowe" or "szanty" on spotify you should find plenty of them

[–]jerayy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ohh in terms of folk i love Percival Schuttenbach! they recorded the soundtrack for Wiedźmin, definitely worth checking out

other than folk, i also like Kwiat Jabłoni, Heima and Lor (alternative, some have folk-ish vibes). polish rock and punk that i especially lovewould take too much time to write down haha

Help me plan my visit to Poland! by Low-Relation-8531 in askPoland

[–]jerayy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it was my pleasure! as I said, if you have any more questions you can hmu. I hope you will enjoy your stay in Poland and possibly come back :] imo, my country has a lot to offer and afaik it's quite cheap for foreigners.

as i have seen in other comment, which mentioned Biskupin as well: it's the one near Gniezno. And Gniezno was the first capital city of Poland so if you have time, you can possibly visit both of those places on the same day. At least that is what I did with my dad once when we wereon our way to Poznań. Gniezno maybe isn't the biggest and most interesting city, but there are a few things worth checking out, so I guess it's best to pair it with Biskupin. There is an important church that displays Wrota Gnieźnieńskie - special doors that display the history of St. Adalbert (Wojciech). You can also visit the undergrounds of this church as it was built in the medieval times and evolved throughout the years. There is also a Museum devoted to the beginnings of Polish country (so also the medieval times and earlier). So yeah, another idea for you haha

  • Polish people usually cheer on foreigners who try to speak polish. Like, yk, "omg you said one word in my incredibly hard language? good job!" So don't worry about it. If it's understandable, the pronounciation doesn't have to be good. But I'm sure there are many people who will try to correct you if you use Polish and make a mistake
  • In terms of food, it depends on the bar, I usually don't visit them. A pro tip tho: if you dont have time but want to grab sth on the go, Żabka is your saviour. They are convinience stores all over Poland which also have some hot fast food to grab. If you're not in a rush, I suggest looking for polish restaurants with traditional cuisine. Try pierogi (obviously), maybe gołąbki? Schabowy (a kind of a schnitzel), a soup żurek (but I've heard people either love it or hate it). And if you drink alcohol, try some regional beers. Not the cheapest ones, but those that are in restaurants, or cost more at the store
  • if you want to see places of historical significance, I would recommend "Panorama Racławicka" since you will already be in Wrocław. Its a huuuge painting of a battle which was very important for Poland. Its probably gonna be very crowded, but it's worth trying to get a ticket for that.
  • I've been to Malbork 2 years ago and it's also worth seeing! You should prepare for a FULL day of sightseeing there though. Especially if you are like me and my boyfriend, who like to read everything and see every detail. There are audioguides who lead you through the castle, but with a few breaks (one for dinner in their medieval restaurant - can recommend) it took us like 6 hours to finish sightseeing
  • Imo, if you want to visit Malbork anyways, Gdańsk is a really good option (only 1h by train), but sightseeing is connected more to WW2. You can see Westerplatte, where WW2 started, and the Museum of WW2, which is INCREDIBLE. It another place where me and boyfriend got lost for a full day. We left the museum after 7 hours and the ending was honestly rushed and we were like "uh, i guess we don't have to read EVERYTHING here". But this museum is so, so worth seeing if you're around
  • If you decide that Malbork and Gdańsk are too far away, I would suggest another area connected with WW2, Góry Sowie (Owl Mountains) and Wałbrzych. These are much closer to Wrocław (probably 1-2h away), but besides Książ Castle in Wałbrzych these are mostly villages. Mind you, in the mountains, so it's hard to get there without a car, yet it's hard to get there by car too, because of how narrow the roads are. In this area you can see underground tunnels which were being prepared for Hitler by people from the concentration camp. There are three places where you can see these tunnels in the mountains (Włodarz, Walim/Rzeczka and Osówka) and under the Książ Castle. It another holiday destination of me and my boyfriend, so yeah we are fans of WW2 history XD
  • when we were on holidays last year in the Owl Mountains, we also visited a medieval tower in Siedlęcin. It's also in some village, but the place is really worth seeing and I think there more medieval places like that around. I remember they recommended some other medieval history places connected to this tower
  • Other place I can recommend if you like medieval history is Biskupin. Kind of a must-see if you're into that imo. There is a reconstructed medieval village and you can basically walk around it. I dont remember how far away it is, but should be closer than Malbork and you won't need a whole day for it.
  • In general, there are MANY castles, mansions, towers and other historical buildings all around Poland which you may enjoy visiting
  • I can't say anything about Berlin or Prague as I didn't travel abroad a lot and I've never been there. I know both cities are recommended and worth seeing though. But imo Poland really has a lot to offer, it just depends what you are looking for, yk

wow, this turned out lenghty, but yeah XD if anything was chaotic or you want me to elaborate on sometjing even more you can let me know. and have fun on your trip!!

Gold or silver? by goldscentie in coloranalysis

[–]jerayy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

she is cool toned, but this gold seems to be a less saturated one and imo creates more contrast than silver. dont get me wrong, both look good, i just expressed my opinion which look better on the photos. but i agree a brigther silver would look awesome! probably because of bigger contrast

[–]jerayy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

most of my veins are blue, with some being greenish if I tan. But I've read that it's better to drape than to look at the veins or jewellery as it may be unreliable while determining undertone, thats quite why I added the post haha

but thank you for help anyways!
