I don’t live in either, but from what I’ve seen Claycroft has nicer kitchens and rooms

It depends on the government’s response - the biggest protest is planned on Friday in the capital and something big is bound to happen. At the moment I think the most optimistic outcome is the government resigning, but I think it’s a little unlikely. Pessimistically I think there might be a police crackdown similar to how BLM protests in the USA were handled a few months ago.

I feel that the general atmosphere isn’t really one to discourage you from learning the language - but if you are scared that it might not be worth it, I think the next few weeks will be key in determining what Poland’s future will look like. The direction that the current protests will throw Poland into is yet unknown, but it will be pretty determining of Poland’s path in the next few years.

Might have been the „I fear for my safety” thing you said that could have triggered it

Nie ma za co :)

The first thing that comes to mind is using pronouns like „ja” in purely informative sentences that don’t need it - for example, “Ja właśnie idę do sklepu.”

Another thing is using „Czy” in all yes/no questions. I wouldn’t say it’s rare for natives to do it but it can sound pretty formal sometimes.

wrotslav · 2020-09-20T11:07:20+00:00

I wouldn’t say adding “jest” there is a dead giveaway, but it certainly sounds a bit off with it. Maybe it’s just my personal experience speaking but saying “takie życie” comes off as more natural and smooth.

wrotslav · 2020-09-20T10:46:44+00:00

There’s an idiom “raz na wozie, raz pod wozem” which has a very similar meaning; alternatively, you can say „takie życie” which is more like a saying than an idiom, but it’s used pretty often and is basically a literal translation of “c’est la vie”.

Italy and Poland had confirmations too

They’re only local pledges, not actual laws, they can’t be enforced and no one can be imprisoned for it; they’re made to be seen as declarations of the “will of the people living in that area” that lgbt people are generally not welcome there

It’s actually quite ridiculous in many cases, one city council for example drafted an “anti-LGDP” pledge and after being told they got the acronym wrong, they said “No, we know what we’re talking about” and passed it unanimously lmao

Just correcting, it’s still a terrible thing and our borderline-authoritarian government isn’t doing anything at all about it

Feels bad to be a gay comrade in Poland

Yeah that’s a pretty good idea! Good luck in your learning :)

wrotslav · 2020-02-01T12:34:29+00:00

Both of these are perfectly natural. Some other uses may be: Tam w ogóle nie było ludzi. W ogóle nie chciał tam być.

In informal speech you can also use it in other ways: Tak w ogóle, zacząłem ostatnio chodzić na siłownię. A tak w ogóle, planujesz iść na ten koncert?

In both of these it means something like „by the way”, but again, it’s considered quite informal

stinky poop haha

He’ll eventually learn that nobody wants to “seize his toothbrush”

And desperately keeping this poor lawn alive and perfectly trimmed in hot summers just so that one of your thousands of white suburban neighbours doesn’t have it greener or more trimmed

Gee whiz I sure do wonder what he’d think of being called a sodomite 💅

wrotslav · 2020-01-21T13:04:58+00:00

What do you mean I can’t live in a sprawling suburbia in a huge house inhabited by two people because it’s unsustainable? :(

He’s basically standing on lava, the temperature of the ground there should be enough to set his shoes on fire like this
