So glad to hear! Poland is a wonderful country!

@@SarahAchleithner Polish is the source language. unfortunately it was modified by the RCC occupier.
Włochy in the Polish language comes from the name of the peoples inhabiting these areas at one time.
you must also remember that nation states were created artificially by the occupiers of these nations about 200 years ago.
@@SarahAchleithner many Poles do not understand and do not know the true history of Poland, because it was distorted by the occupiers. the Polish nation is now very stupid. but its root is indestructible. remember that since the end of WW2, Poland has not been ruled by Poles.
@@SarahAchleithner JPII was from Poland, he spoke Polish but was not Polish. hardly anyone knows about it.
Most popes are Italian. JPII was put on the Pauline throne to confuse the Poles when they tried to get out of the Soviet occupation.

The meme about “dwa - two” is wrong. The Polish part covers only what in English is “two”. The Polish counterpart for “second” is not included in the meme.
They actually enught feared. Don't make them yet more. 😂
Good point! Moreover, two (haha) are missing: "dwu", "dwóm". And you can also create a diminutive, like "dwójeczka". Dwójeczce, dwójeczki, dwójeczkę, dwójeczką, dwójeczko. Once I've mentioned the diminutive, I cannot omit the augmentative. Dwója, dwói, dwóję, dwóją, dwójo. That would make a list of 30 words for just one english "two". So, in the meme you have barely more than a half of the possible examples.
Yes.
@@feandil1713 I never could have comprehended why the eskimos have over 20 different names for snow. Now after all those years I finally get it thanks to the meme about our "dwa".
Hey Hey Hey. It's not that bad... There's missing "both" on English side

God, for a second I thought we actually have one and the idea was MINDBLOWING 😂 like WHAT IS THE WORD, why don't I know it?! But then, luckily I've realized there was "not" in the sentence. Almost died here by mistake 😂😂

this is so incredible, even tho i'm not polish, i'm from slovakia but i slavs always appreciate when foreigners are learning slavic languages. i personally wouldn't want to be in that position of learning a slavic language without being slavic, so huge hats off to you for learning polish, it's difficult i know, keep going❤
Ahhh thank you! 🙏
All Slovaks should get polish passports by default and for free. No foreigners for us. And ofc no Pole
should get voting rights in Slovakia, actually every polish region should have only voting rights in it
and only then be governed by representatives of the regions together, unified big country is a place of
strangers
city-states were a much better idea
and slavic way of confederations of tribes
while keeping organic variety of tribal traditions in each
mixing everyone in one unified mass was crippling
so much, loosing regional identity is like being homeless in a big big building not seeing any walls
or roof,
if everyone is brother than nobody is brother
and anybody can pretend to be brother to exploit you

"Poland: exist"
It is actually pretty interesting, because IT WAS good goal. Poland was first attacked by Germany and then Russia, we were occupied and slaughtered during most of the war, but besides that, Poland had whole underground govarnement and army, we call it "państwo podziemne", which means underground country. There was also polish governament in Great Britian and polish soldiers had big impact on WWII: we were fighting in Italy (or Włochy ;) ) and captured Monte Cassino, in the battle of England polish pilots had biggest scores, our panzer divisions were smashing Germans after Normandy, polish commandos "cichociemni", partisans etc. etc. etc. So yeah, we were not on the map, but we EXISTED and Germans were very unhappy about it. Sadly, after the war, we have not been thanked, but sold to the soviets :|

8:25 that brings to my mind- there is a movie "Jak rozpętałem drugą wojnę światową" and the main character is forced by SS officer to tell him his name. He makes it as hard as he can and tells the officer: Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewić (his real name is Franek Dolas). And the answer to the question of where is he from is- Szczebrzeszyn. Pretty hilarious, the reaction of that german officer :DDD
It was „Chrząszczyżewoszyce, powiat Łękołody”, not „Szczebrzeszyn”!

@@paulinarapicka this is like the exact opposite from french version, so funny! 🤣 thank you 😄
Historically, Poland has never been an easy piece of cake. ;) In 1573, the French prince Henri Valois was elected King of Poland by the nobility. He arrived, looked around and promptly escaped back to France. :) Upon his death in 1733, the Saxon-Polish King Augustus II said that accepting the Polish throne was his biggest mistake. :) In 1807, Napoleon said that he couldn't possibly understand how people could call "fatherland" a country with a climate as horrible as Poland's. :) In 1945, Stalin declared that to impose communism on the Poles was like saddling a cow. 😉
Escaped and TOOK our best falconers and the birds...
Liberum veto 🤣
Regarding the meme about word two and second in Polish language - all those Polish words are just variants of the word "two". This meme skipped all versions of the word "second". So, there is more. ;)
I think that's what makes it great! 😅
I hope you like Poland, because your attitude and personality are awesome. I wish you luck! Your videos make me proud of my country.
Yes, we love Poland! Such a wonderful country in so many ways!
Why Sarah answer WE on that qestion?? Multiple personality?
Nice to have you here, we don't mind another cute girl in Poland! As far as "babcias" replacing surveillance cameras are concerned - funny thing, literally few minutes ago I saw a content on youtube in which a (Polish) forester told a story about a man who got lost in a forest where he went to pick mushrooms (our national sport btw). Nobody knew, where he went and he was basically saved by a disabled babcia, who spent her time in front of her house and was able to indicate to the search team, where he went :)
haha that's great!
I love how you pronounce the words in polish. And it's jeden pieróg
Not in English
No mamu trzy pierogi
Z mięsem lub jagodami
Z grzybkami😋😋
Dla jednego pieroga, to się nie opłaca ust otwierać :D
I like that you respect Poland ❤
5:03 It's funny that the meme only shows the different versions of the word "Two" ... the word "Second" would have similar amount of versions
there would be no room on the screen for all of the variations 🤣
As Polish I am proud of my country.
z czegos dumna? z pustych hasel i filmikow ktore lechca ci ego a s arobione dla naiwnych by robili wyswietlenia? polska to skansen i zaplecze niemieckiej gospodarki i smietnik!
4:20 By the way, we have in the Polish language the word "eskimos" which means "eskimo", so we had to create the word "eskimosi" to have a plural form.
And "dżinsy" which means a pair of jeans.
Już się nie mówi eskimos. Poprawnie: Innuita
It could've been worse. It could've been Eskimosowie.
whenever I see my country somewhere, I feel proud
All those CCTV gannies in the windows, we call them "air-cushion vehicles" or "hovercrafts" - "poduszkowiec" in Polish, 'cause they usually rest on the cushions in the window, surveilling the neighbourhood.
I've suggest you to watch a great polish comedy "Jak rozpętałem Drugą Wojnę Światową" - "How i've started Second WW". You will see many funny adventures with main character Franek Dolas (our Jack Sparrow representative). This is story about survaving when nobody understand what main hero is saing but this not a problem for Franek. I think that film is a one big compilation of mems about Polish nation at II WW and far so. Definitly must see! I'm interested your reaction when you heard and try repeat name of Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz Have fun ;)
That's a great suggestion!
In the past, I did not think about the construction in Polish. It was very simple. Past, present, or future tense - robił-robi-będzie robił ( did. do. will do). And in English there were too many times for me too many rules when to use what form. Only later did I realize that if someone learns Polish there are rules -when and what ending in a word. For me, it was a natural matching of what sounds right/what sounds good. Maybe that's why many people (including me) often have a problem with some words which form is correct and need to check in the dictionary. Because the language changes and people often create their own words, or a certain mistake in pronouncing or spelling was so popular that it was considered correct in the dictionsry. 😂😂😂
Nice video! Also - you pronounce polish words very well ^-^ Have a nice day :D
Thank you! 😃 I'm trying, but still have a ways to go haha
Pewnie, szczegolnie imię Wojciech :)
The longest word in Poland is Konstantynopolitańczykowianeczka
😭😭😭😭
Konstantynopolitańczykowianeczkami 😉
Funfuct. Did you know that Poles have a very developed speech apparatus, thanks to which they are able to pronounce most sounds.
There's a channel here by an Asian guy who grew up in Poland. In one vid he mentions that Hindi (Sanskrit?) is not a challenge for Poles.
But to your point, most languages have unwritten rules about which sounds can't go together. Like in English a word can't begin with 'tl'. I don't think that concept even exists in Polish, lol. Also many language tend not to have one phoneme at the very front of your mouth and then next phoneme is at the very back. But Polish seems to do this all the time.
I don't think that WW2 can be a laughing matter. Maybe it is to you, but hardly to anyone in Poland. Please, remember that Poland lost 6 mln of its citizens during WW2 as a consequence of that war. Approximately half of them were Jewish, the other half Christians (some small percentage also of other faiths and non-believers). There was almost no family who hasn't suffer loss of a loved one during WW2. It was indeed a battle of survival and of existence. I think this is why we do understand the struggle of Ukraine now so well. We have been through that 80 years ago.
what about Poles killing Jews and Ukrainians
Wtf... You must be sensitive "gimbus" rised under glass dome if you never heard any WW2 joke. I don't believe you never heard any Auschwitz.
@@craftah would you mind elaborating?
@@pawelzielinski1398 you have propaganda in Poland that says Poles didn't do anything bad
@@craftah please, don't make me responsible for what some nutjobs say in Polish tv a.k.a. TVPiS.
FOXNews also tells you that Americans are the best in the world and they never ever committed any violence against others, or if they did that was for a good reason.
So, to clarify my position:
Poles are not worse or not better than any other nation. And yes, absolutely, some Poles were responsible for murdering Jews during WW2, however on a significantly smaller scale than Germans i.e. thousands vs. millions.
Pretty much in any nation you would find nationalist scumbags, who would find any opportunity to cleanse their nation from "impure immigrants" or whoever else they perceive as an existential threat.
That was also the case of Polish-Ukrainian
conflict 1941-47, when UPA decided to do ethnic cleansing in Wołyń and Eastern Galicia and remove every Pole from those areas. Poles fought back and their victims were not always members of UPA but also some Ukrainian civilians. Altogether there were more Poles murdered by Ukrainian nationalists than Ukrainians murdered by Polish resistance and nationalists.
That is a very sad chapter in history for sure.
Of course all minorities living in pre-war Poland were treated as second class citizens to say the least, but that has to be taken within historic framework. Jews and black people were not exactly treated as equal in the US back then either.
I am from Poland and I think all this memes is funny. If you think that too you can laught, this is not offensive.
I agree! Memes are not meant to be taken too seriously 😅
unless you plan on working in a profession where your polish is required to be well-developed, you don't even need most of the stuff the language involves
it's difficult to learn, yes, but it's also very intuitive
in everyday life, you can literally use the basic forms of words only, and most of us will still get what you mean with ease
it's also often "multifunctional" when it comes to word order
in everyday speech, you can have them switch in a sentence in many various combinations and it will still mean the same:
"dalem ci wczoraj notatki"
"dalem ci notatki wczoraj"
"notatki ci dalem wczoraj"
"notatki ci wczoraj dalem"
"notatki wczoraj ci dalem"
"wczoraj dalem ci notatki"
"wczoraj ci dalem notatki"
"wczoraj ci notatki dalem"
these sentences all make perfect sense
A Polish immigrant when to renew his driver's license which included a vision exam. The optician showed a card with the letters:
C Z W I X N O S T A C Z
"Can you read this"
"Read it" the Polish guy replied, "I know the guy"!
hahahahha this is great!!!
Funny, but we don't have "X" in alphabet :D
@@dziewieciogoniasty8050 Nie do końca, po prostu nie używamy ich w słowach ojczystych, tylko jeśli coś podkradamy z innego języka, ma x, które nie wygląda lepiej jako ks

@@dziewieciogoniasty8050 yes, we have W X Y Z Ź Ż

Problem of to be or not to be doesn't exist really , if you try to erase a nation having 1000 years of history by removing it from map, it's simply stupid ... If you know history of Poland you know that it's opposite , our oppressors needed 100 years to learn Poland can't be conquered , no matter of military power you have... Russia and Germany are bad students , never learned it , but we are always ready to help them understand ....
You are very nice person, I hope you'll do good in Poland, good luck with your CZcams channel ;-)
Ahhh thank you 💕
hi, I am from Poland and these memes are just so accurate that i can't stop crying from laughter

I dont get what is so funny about the word ,,Exist,, . Yes, we were attacked, so our goal was to survive. Its a fact not a joke
"Don't mess with babcia" :D hahaha 1000% hahaha
Hi Sarah, 4 things from me:
1) This is my first time watching any of your videos (literally stumbled on you by accident on home page) and you are a delight to watch, so best of luck on your adventures with Poland and Polish language in the future. Haven't laughed so hard at random memes in months, so thanks :)
2) Most memes of Poland are Polish-made, so don't feel sorry for laughing at even the seemingly cruelest of jokes - we already made them to laugh at, dark or not.
3) I want to point out that the difference in many places and things having their names weird in Polish and in some other European (and sometimes outside-Europe) countries variations, like with Italy, is the origin of the language and the words themselves - if, for example, the word is derived from Latin in a Latin-derived language of a Latin-descended country, of course it's gonna be similar to other such places (most of south & western EU). We share some similarities with words with number of our neighbours (most of which has at one point been part of our Kingdom when the words were formed or adapted and that's why, but who looks back 300 years for minor details like that anymore)
4) About the "two" in English vs Polish: English language is in majority contextual. It means same words can have different meaning depending on the context, and it doesn't just mean individual nouns or adjectives - it means the entire phrases depend on that additional context to have expected reception.
Polish, however, is case-specific, meaning we have specific variations of the same word to use for particular case of usage to be independent from the outside context and to instead give the context with that specific word kind of by default. For example "There're two" on its own in English is abundantly vague, gives you no clues and can mean so many things, but in Polish "Są dwa/Są dwie/Są dwójką/Są dwoma" etc. specifies in the wording already if the context is e.g. male, female or neutral in nature (because we have language gender-specific words as well, gender-specific variations of numbers to associate them with the words can easier clarify what you talk about, especially in complex subjects and situations) without the need of adding extra context or risking being misunderstood out of context by accident.
Pardon my word salad, but you seem like a type of person that wants to learn cool stuff. "Cool" being sort of subjective, yes, but I find linguistics fascinating.
Off to watch some more of your videos now :)
Thanks for stopping by! And loved your "word salad"--very interesting tidbits!
I really liked your video.😊 Nice work with the pronunciation - I know how hard it is to speak Polish 😆. Keep up the good work

All old civilizations have Western civilization's complicated grammar of cases and inflection. Have you noticed the maps from the period of the Roman Empire, a black spot to the east of the Roman Empire. What they did not try to conquer these areas, they tried but failed. - in Rome there is an epitaph about it, but due to the Germanization of Poland, the memory of the old history of Poles was cleared. We had our own writing - runes yes runes are an invention of the Slavs, not the Scandinavians, only they survived longer, we switched to Latin. Our language comes from from Sanskrit, Hindus are surprised how many of our words are similar to Polish. We used to be the Lehia empire uniting the Slavic tribes. There is a lot of forgotten history about which Poles themselves have no idea, and the Germans and the Catholic Church contributed to its oblivion.
Im really curious, never heard about it before. Could you give me any example of similarity between Polish and Hindi?
@@hubi2986 There are many of them. On the Internet, enter the similarities of Polish words with Sanskrit. I will add, if you are interested, that the Slavic tribes came to the present area from the far east before our era. Scientists are wondering if the oldest language in the world does not come from the Slavs and the Hindu tribes adapted from the Slavs. The Slavs had their Vedas similar to the Hindu ones. that the highest caste of law-givers and religious law-givers Brahmins differed in their fair complexion and European facial features from the rest of the Hindus. And it is puzzling that the oldest wall of China has sealing holes opposite to the one built later, i.e. who defended himself against whom and put the first wall? . Of the artifacts, little is said that the world's oldest image of a wheeled cart was found in Poland, little remains of the buildings from before our era because the approach to houses was different than, for example, in ancient Greece where they were built of stone and this resulted from the fact that houses were built and cities made of wood, where life was healthier and more plentiful due to the harsh climate. When the owner of the old house died, his house was burned and his successors put a new one in its place, it was a Slavic custom and for health reasons - old houses could have mold. Western culture knows nothing about the Slavs and no one cares about this topic and they would be surprised what influence they had on Europe and they had an influence, e.g. they founded cities in Europe: Berlin, Venice were present in England, many names of cities, mountains, rivers have origins even the princes were Slavs with adapted names of the local language. It is amazing how the world is interested in Poland, but I know why, it is related to what role Poland is to play in the future, I know who currently lives among us, but few know about it.😀
Ive proud you share lyrics on this video. Your saying is so faster sometimes, i can't understand your words. But video have quality. Good job! :D
thank you! 💕 glad you enjoyed!
2:40 You're right, Being gone from the map for 123 years straight-
The last meme doesn't make much sense because Poland is not running away from anyone. To the contrary, we have a long history of taking head on enemies that we had no chance of defeating and most historical events that we celebrate are related to failed insurections.
Yeah but Jack Sparrow has funny but a clever personality. Did you know that we have polish film with hero who is very similiar with Jack Sparrow? Ofcourse in his diffirent way ;) I recommand to watch a war comedy "Jak rozpętałem Drugą Wojnę Światową" ("How I've started Second WW - word of today mem example :D). In that film you can see in funny way of adventures of polish soldier who is a real troblemaker even for his teammates but in very positive and funny way. You must watch it :)
Our history have many different histories. Don't forget that we have many talented generals, kings, soldiers, presidents, politics with great minds in lead at the battlegrounds or making politic but don't forget of many normal simple people who must live below occupation to and making hard decizions about survaving. It means running, hiding himselfs or hiding someones under threat of death or just avoiding problems or sacrifise herself for good of his family. Survive at war or between under occupation was very hard and warth of remind. That is spirit of our patriotism which we must take care and celebrate. It is our duty ;)
Sorry for grammar mistakes ;)

It is a pleasure to see American actually giving in and trying to learn our language. I hope you are doing well with it, and I wish you all the best on this journey.
Also, I get the 7:33 meme, however it is totally wrong at the same time. Poland Flag is 'White and Red', not 'Red and White'. Red and White would be Monaco or Indonesia I think. Nice try though 😁🙃
Take it easy!
thanks for watching!
I think it's a countryball meme, where Poland's flag is always shown upside down (Poland is actually the protagonist of the countryball meme family, which is sometimes called Polandball as a result)
Nice video ^^ , I'm from Poland 👋☺
Ciekawy filmik^^ Nigdy nie wiedziałam czegoś podobnego haha
Interesting video^^ I've never seen something similar haha
thanks for watching!
W polsce słowo Italia też jest zamienne i używane 🙂
nie słyszałam
@@Faleino Bo nie jest często stosowane w relacji i jest obcym słowem w naszym języku czyli zapożyczonym, ale już dawno zaakceptowanym. 🙂
@@AndrewBozo prawda ja nawet mówię Italia a nie Włochy bo dla mnie Italia lepiej brzmi
@@HatsuneSakuraMiku tak, tak!
Szczególnie "jadę do Italii", albo "italskie jedzenie". To brzmi po polsku prawie tak dobrze jak "germański (deutschlandzki🤣) samochód"😂
Nigdy nie słyszałem żeby ktoś używał słowa "Italia". Chyba tylko jako hasło w prognozie pogody np. "słoneczna Italia".
Whenever and however I hear that someone from outside of Poland tries to say anything in our language, I'm like blown away by it. Even for me Polish is hard to speak sometimes, when there is a lot of harder words in one sentence :D
Example: "W czasie suszy szosa sucha" or "I cóż że ze Szwecji" and even "Wyindywidualizowałem się z rozentuzjazmowanego tłumu" :)
yes, Polish is quite the tongue twister!
@@SarahAchleithner yeah... She sells seashells on the seashore, The shells she sells are seashells, I'm sure... po angielsku też czasem niezbyt łatwo :P
More funny thing is that if you eat five pieces, you eat pierogi. If you eat just one, you eat pieróg (pronunced as pieroog) :) Greetings from Poland! Remember, we find foreigner's atttempts as cute. And if you're fluent, it's sooo impressive, at least for me.
Your polish is pretty good! And memes make me laugh 😊
haha thank you!
You should try watching "how I started world war II" with subtitles. The best way to learn polish and have fun during it
I am from poland and honestly, it's really hard to learn polish even if you are a pole.
yes, it's a challenging language for sure!
Then maybe you have some kind of learning disability? Because it shouldn't be so hard for a Pole...
About country names:
I've heard it too that Poland has different names for a lot of countries.
I am from Latvia and we have same thing, like a lot of country names are completely different.
Here are examples:
Estonia: Igaunija
United Kingdom/UK: Apvienotā Karaliste/AK
Sweden: Zviedrija
Finland: Somija
Russia: Krievija
Belarus: Baltkrievija
Cyprus: Kipra
China: Ķīna
USA/United States of America: ASV/ Amerikas Savienotās Valstis.
And many more.
You can eat just 1 pieróg in 2 situations. When there's a sample taste plate, or that's the last one left.
Pozdrowienia z Polski ! :D Mam uśmiech dzięki Tobie ;) :D
🙂 thanks so much!
jesteś zabawna Gratuluję i pozdrawiam
Dziękuję bardzo!
You gave me a smile 😄
tks
thanks for watching!

Just old joke:
- 1939 If I'm under attack by 2 tanks, one german and one ruSSian which I should destroy as first?
- Unswer: German one as first.
- Why?
- Duty before plesure.
and another also old:
On the day 8th God gave the lands to the nations.
Polish were given Poland, so they walked through the land and were surprised by it's buty.
Than asked the God:
- God, why did You gave us such butifull piece of earth? We did not deserve that.
And God answered us:
- wait until You meet yours neighbours.
1.Nie ma za co- Its usually answer to " thank You"- It means "there is nothing ( to thank) for"
2. mamy Tak- " we have it that way" Word TAK its not only " Yes" but also " That way "
3. Jako tako- Its more like "How-ish That way-ish"
4 This one is just not making sense.
5 See above
6 A steak in sauce tasting just right... Steak without sauce not so much....So being not dipped in sauce means that you feel not right.
We are not eastern europe. We are central europe.
I think it all depends whom you talk to. Everything is relative.
@@pawelzielinski1398 No it's not.
@@Neexienous So, what is "The Western Empire" for the Japanese?
What is the "Eastern Empire"??
Fajny film o tematyce polski:)
o znalazł się jednak polak myślałam że nie ma xd
@@HatsuneSakuraMiku Jeżeli filmik na YT ma w miniaturce lub tytule cokolwiek związanego z Polską to od razu spodziewaj się samych Polaków. CZcams bardzo dobrze wychwytuje takie filmy
Thank you for making this video i appreciate it. Fun fact im from Poland and also the memes are hilarious🤣🤣🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱
Polacy
⬇️🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱
Glad you enjoyed!
7:58, we call them "poduszkowce" which translates to "pillow-ers" in English. This was the best surveillance system for years, but nowadays they are quite rare in big cities. 2:25 I find this hilarious. There was such a battle just to stay on the map, yet it doesn't sound like much of an achievement.
You just created Polish people spawner
i really recommend you comedy serial 13 posterunek, especially video clip named "motylki , poworywanymi skrzydełkami". it's more like black humor but really funny. and it contains some good puns (matołow -> mołotow, matołow means something like idiot +ow)
thanks for the recommendation! Will have to check it out!
the babcia's one is perfect..the way you say it hahahah
hehehehe
Well, when my grandma makes pierogi she usually gives us a lot of them and we keep them in the fridge, so sometimes when I'm a little hungry I open the fridge I'm taking one pieróg and I'm eating it (yes, I eat it cold)
ta babcie to najlepszy monitoring na jaki nas stać w tym kraju the one who will write this in english big respect
to nie scam masz tu przetłumaczenie
up there
Daj pieroga :)! Good Luck.
Dobree
Why are Poles masters of memes? Because we are masters of sarcasm and dark humor. And when it comes to jokes, we were never limited by political or any other correctness. 😂
🤣🤣🤣
I would recommend reading up on history of Poland... The country existed in continues fashion for 800 plus years between 900s and 1795 and it took three other countries to change this. Later it regained independence in 1918 to be forced to fight for it's survival in 1920s against USSR just to be occupied by Soviets and Nazis on 1939 (again it took two countries - thanks UK and France). In 1945 we got sold into Soviet slavery (thanks USA... awesome job ftards) but yet again we remained somewhat independent. Moral of the story... well if o was to describe Polish history as one meme it would have to be Sam L Jackson "surprise mother...", also we fell only twice in our history, both time were beaten by more than one opponent, and what is more important we were never defeated ... Poles are true brave hearts of Europe.
I'm really curious if anyone who watches you is not from Poland, because I can see only explaining comments by Poles 😂😂
haha it certainly seems that way 🤣
@@SarahAchleithner don't worry, a lot of Polish people speak English very well and we also like our ego to be stroked, so we watch that kinda channels 😂😂
I'm from U.S.
Let's do reaction to Polish comedy movies: Miś, Rejs, Seksmisja, Sami swoi, Va banque, Hydrozagadka, CK Dezerterzy.
English language lost grammatical complication in medieval period, when in England many languages were spoken at the same time (English, French, Norse, Celtic languages). Old English language from early medieval period (and ancient proto-germanic) had as many complications as Polish. Slavic and Germanic languages descends from so-called Proto-Indo-European spoken about 4,5-6 thousand years ago in area of today Ukraine and suthern Russia.
Those grandmas who watch everything on their home's windows, you can find the same in Turkey lollll
Polish is the language where you kac say no by saying ok, twice. :like "dobra, dobra" - if you want to expres negation and disbelieve :) and also when we say "NO" it means "YES". "Chesz herbaty?" - "no" -- "Would you like some tea?" "yes" :D
Plural - pierogi; single - pieróg. Ó sounds like U. (Edit - sounds like oo in ‘foot’. I thougth about the Polish sound…)
Sounds like "oo" in "food" .
@@wincentywiewiorczak4114 heh you are right :D I thought about Polish sounds ó and u. My bad.
Po pierwsze, tylko po polsku.Po drugie, zaden Anglik czy Amerykanin nie wymowi "pierógs". Po trzecie, my robimy to samo z czipsami, czy krakersami. Po piąte, "oo" takie jak w food, foot czy blood? 3 rozne dzwieki
@@TheDekazer also dropsY
My Mum name is Mieczysława - this means sword (miecz) & glory (sława). Everyone calls her Miecia :)
I love that!
Bożydar- Bóg , dar
8:59 there are many memes in Poland about John Paul the Second and a lot of people laugh at the number 2137 (it's about twenty-one-thirty-seven which is the hour of his death)
At 5:05 it actually only shows the translations for "two" in different cases.
