serwusik!! ☆

✧ nazywajcie mnie jak chcecie, ale jeśli nie macie pomysłu to LP jest git :D

✧ jestem trzyletnim uczniem polhista (z o wiele większym naciskiem na pol), a tak na boku to lubię sobie czasem obejrzeć jakiś fajny musical albo 50-minutowy wideo esej na youtube na tematy wszelakie. ale ogólnie to głównie rysuję i troszkę piszę.

✧ tu będę głównie postować na tematy romantyzmu i ogólnie humanistyczne (literatura klasyczna, filozofia, psychologia, popkultura jak jakiś dobry film wyjdzie) jak i również po prostu rzeczy związane z Polską w ogólnym tego słowa znaczeniu. szczerze to nie wiem czy tu będę cokolwiek wrzucać, ale pewnie przez pierwszy tydzień istnienia tego nieszczęsnego bloga coś tam porebloguje, może nie wiem.

"Fuck the cult of working hard"

Stencil spotted in Wrocław, Poland

[pantwardowskimoved]

important linguistic context: zapierdol is like if you made a word for working hard from solely conjugating one of the variants of "fuck" as a verb. and it doesn't really mean working hard as much as it means having too much work at once and not having any time for anything else

CZYTALIŚMY Z KOLEŻANKĄ "NIE ZAZNAM SPOKOJU W GROBIE"[JESZCZE NIE CAŁE, KILKA CZĘŚCI NAM ZOSTAŁO] I JEST BARDZO FAJNE AAAA😍😍

also chcę papkin fanart.

CIESZĘ SIĘ I DZIĘKUJĘĘĘĘĘĘĘ. czuje jakieś subliminale though.........ummmm........

have a Papkin ALE nie Polańskiego bo nikt nie zmusi mnie do narysowania Polańskiego. Zamiast tego oferuje mojego pierwszego Papkina jakiego zobaczyłom pacholęciem będąc w lokalnym teatrze. TAK był grany przez kobietę. TAK z jakiegoś powodu miał tension z Wacławem. i miss him everyday. z pamięci bo nie mam żadnego dowodu na istnienie tej inscenizacji. może to była halucynacja.

Levels of understanding other slavic languages

oh we also have X and it means the same!

that looks like X but misspelled

that's just the archaic variant of X

this sounds a lot like Y from another slavic language I know which means X in mine so this almost 100% also means X

this word is completely different but I can kinda tell the meaning from the morphology

what

okay right now I'm gonna have to dissect the entirety of this language's history to figure out how the FUCK did y'all get to the point of calling X that and not something more normal

I wanted to ask for X and accidentally called someone a whore

I don't even have to look at the blog and I just know this is from a Pole about Czechs

KAKAOVY CHLEBICEK???!!!???

[mist-the-wannabe-linguist]

hissing growling scratching you etc etc

[mist-the-wannabe-linguist]

for example

(Polish: are you looking for a squirrel?, Slovak: excuse me, he is doing what to the squirrel?)

(also "hladna pića" means "cold drinks" in Croatian. means "hungry cunt" in Slovak and Czech)

("you're weird" in Czech is the same as "you're amazing" in Croatian, while "you're amazing" in Czech is the same as "you're terrible" in Croatian)

And of course pomoć (help) vs pomoč (ordering you to piss on something)

Also remembered this shop from my trip to Croatia (piko means meth in czech and slovak)

przepraszam w CZYM ta restauracja????

This reminds me of that time my (Czech) family went to Poland for my uncle's wedding (because my aunt - his wife - is Polish and they decided to get married in Poland).

The wedding afterparty was in full swing, everyone was drinking and partying.... and an elderly Polish lady approached my two aunts (who were also drinking a lot and partying hard) and commented something along the lines of "jesteście odporne". Which in Polish means "you're resilient" (as in they're handling the alcohol well) but in Czech it means "you're disgusting".

It took my aunts a bit to remember that it means something different in Polish. 😅

[mist-the-wannabe-linguist]

another beautiful case of n.8 from @someidioticurl

Czech vision: ah yes an emergency button to press in case of emergency

Polish vision:

[ta-bajna-cerna-okybaca]

Oh, I have a few!

'pozor' in Czech means 'watch out!', but means 'shame' in Russian

droga in czech means drug, in polish it means road

záchod in czech means toilet, zachód in polish means 'west'

odchod 'to depart' in Czech means very specifically 'to depart by foot', while in Slovak it has a bit wider meaning, and buses and trains also combine with 'odchod'. To a Czech speaker this gives the funny implication that departing trains grow legs and walk out of the train station

Croatian 'mrdati' = to wiggle, means 'to have sex' in Czech

'Čerstvý, voňavý chléb' is Czech for 'fresh, nicely smelling bread'. In means the opposite in some slavic languages 'stale, stinky bread'. This kind of 'good meaning in one but bad meaning in other' duality happens surprisingly often actually, see also úžas and odporný above

otrok in Czech means 'slave' but in Slovenian and perhaps other South slavic languages it means 'child'. Very funny when combined with bazaar, turns a perfectly fine baby bazar into a slave bazaar

My friend has a fun sentence from Slovenian - "Hitri otroci kuhali jed na Dunaji". Literally none of the words here mean what a Czech thinks they mean. No not even Dunaj. Czechs read it as 'smart slaves were disemboweling poison by the Donau river', original Slovenian meaning is 'fast children were cooking food in Vienna'

Edit: wait one more. "srpanj" in Croatian means July, "srpen" in Czech means August. Listopad in Croatian means 'October', in Czech means 'November'. rujan in Croatian means 'September', říjen in Czech means 'October'. kwiecień in Polish means 'April', kviteń in Ukrainian also means 'April', květen in Czech means 'May'. Months are fucked up.

[alamuts-lair-of-madness]

Some other fun misunderstandings between Czehs and Poles:

divák in Czech means "spectator", dziwak in Polish means "weirdo"

kolej in Czech means "student dormitory", kolej in Polish means "rail/train"

sklep in Czech means "cellar", sklep in Polish means "shop"

čerstvý in Czech means "fresh", czerstwy in Polish means "stale"

duhový in Czech means "rainbow coloured", duchowy in Polish means "spiritual"

rozpustná in Czech means "dissolvable", rozpustna in Polish means "(fem.) immoral/loose/debauched"
