Hey Vigo i have a question for you. Do you think we as a Polish nation we are exotic to you? Not like mean way just like exotic people for us are Japaneasse people or Carabean. Dont take this as a some racist way i just wonder.
@@kubadkuc thank you Kuba, it's not a racist question at all. You are for sure exotic to us, especially to those that have not had the chance to travel to Europe.
Ja oglądam, żeby zobaczyć nas obcymi oczami. Bo niby wszystko się zgadza, niby wszystko widzę podobnie, ale część rzeczy postrzegam jako wady, albo że pewnie wszyscy na świecie tak mają. ;) Fajna to perspektywa.
You might want to know we say "ze Szwecji". This is kind of irregular, though, and basically "z" is the form used for most countries. We also say "ze Stanów Zjednoczonych" - from the US
@@krzysztofmatuszek I think it's all about the presence of vowel (samogłoski) in begining of word. We say "z Sandomierza", "z Sosnowca" but "ze Stargadru", "ze Szczecina". Same with letter w - "w poniedziałek", "w worku" but "we wtorek", "we Wrocławiu". Its basically for make sentence easier to pronounce. Similar to "a banana" and "an apple" ps. it's not a hard rule, we say "ze Zgierza" but "z Grójca" - i dont know why :p
Ive been dating a pol for almost 1 year now and i can tell you that this is the most reliable man i have ever met in my 35 years of age. He will always always always be there if i need him. For which ever reason. He is humble, he never complains, he is 1000% of the time available for friends and family. I am beyond amazed of been with a polish man. I hope i get to learn a lot more!
Let's say it loud: You are incredibly aware of the polish language when you are able to correct yourself to put an accent in the right part of 'Rzeczpospolita'. Standing ovations!
Dude, I'm 2nd generation Polish-American, and your videos are kinda helping me understand why I am the way that I am. Don't sugar-coat, own yourself, family over all... I intend to share your videos with my employees to help them understand me.
@@meimeilei I want to! My parents have been a few times, and I'm really starting to explore my Polish heritage. I'll get there sooner or later - hopefully SOONER!
@@bethhelminiak5063 my half son is also exploring his polish heritage mainly on you tube. It’s a big fun for me as a mother to talk with him on this topic. He says he feels polish although he never lived in Poland. And he understands himself more from these videos people post here on you tube.
@@pipilangsztrum interesting! I'm learning Polish, while my dad (who spoke Polish before he spoke English but is spotty with it now after 60+ years) is learning Spanish (which I learned in high school). Its kinda funny, in a way. I'm rediscovering my roots while he's looking forward in self-defense (my parents live in Texas, so Spanish is prevalent).
@@bethhelminiak5063 Yeah, indeed, it is interesting. I always wonder if there really is something like „national personality” and if there is is it biological or just a set of norms we grow up with. In my son’s case it seems like there are psychological things written in people’s DNA.
I'm Portuguese and I'm in Poland right now... I've already been to so many places here such as Gdansk, Warsaw, katowice, Kakrow, (the city where auchswits Berkinau is and right now I'm Zakopane... what I can say so far? This country is super awesome, I would easily live here.... I cannot name one single thing here that I did not like.
Masz bardzo mądre filmy i jako obcokrajowiec zauważasz w nas te cechy których sami nie dostrzegamy bo są dla nas normą i codziennością . Dzięki za dobry filmik . Pozdrawiam !
Średnio radzę sobie z angielskim, więc napiszę to po polsku (sorry about that 😉). Wielokrotnie słyszę różne rzeczy na temat Polaków (być może ze względu na mnóstwo stereotypów o nas, które krążą gdzieś po świecie). W pewnym momencie doszłam nawet do wniosku, że Polacy nie są zbyt lubiani za granicą i do dziś żyję z tym przeświadczeniem, jednak takie filmy jak Twój są dla mnie nadzieją na to, że może się troszkę mylę. Słowa, które w tym filmie usłyszałam od Ciebie są autentycznie najpiękniejszymi słowami na temat Polaków, jakie kiedykolwiek słyszałam ❤️❤️ Strasznie Ci za nie dziękuję! ☺️ You made my day!
Jesteśmy bardzo lubianym narodem. Większość pokolenia żyjącego za granicą posiada syndrom sztokholmski. A konflikty z osobami innej narodowości wychodzą z tego, że jesteśmy niezłomni w swoim przekonaniu i dążeniu do celu. Co bardzo denerwuje naszych pracodawców, ponieważ nie mogą nami sterować jak sobie to poukładali w swoich głowach...
@@dawciok Dokładnie W większości miejsc na Polaka się dobrze patrzy, są pracowici i zaradni, czego można zdecydowanie w jakiejś części odmówić zachodowi ;)
I have to agree with the author. I watch those short movies to comfort myself. When we have opinion of being hard workers but often under influence, to be grumpy but helpful, to leave trash on the street and make lots of noise, it's nice to watch someone actually Givin positive feedback.
Gardzę tobą, ponieważ jesteś kolektywistą. Gówno powinno cię obchodzić, co myślą o twoim narodzie inni, skoro to jest abstrakcja. Skup się na własnym indywidualnym zachowaniu.
Karolina teach me please 😋 I am either disabled polish women ooooor I love my husband to much because mostly any of our arguments ending up with me just talking to myself in polish 😂😂😂😂 a tak serio to słyszę często "czy Ty zawsze musisz się o wszystko wykłucać" 😋
Usually those "things about Poland" videos from other youtubers vary from "not relevant" to "kinda relevant". You really caught the Polish spirit here, chapeaux bas!
I mean... we lost our country for 123 year so I believe it's normal to us to know who we are and we will fight for our country to make that NEVER happen again 😌
this video has made me smile :) For me as Pole sometimes is hard to see the positives of people liviing there, maybe its because we tend to focuse on negatives such as that polsh people like to contrive (kombinować) and if you dont know something they can trick you.
Bardzo się cieszę, że już są napisy masz taki szczególny talent przekazywania, że uwielbiam Cię słuchać tworzycie piękna parę, inteligentną, dowcipna, a Wasz synek to przepiękna mieszanka latinopolska pozdrawiam serdecznie
Such kind words, thank you! (Why I get so angry so quickly? Hey, I'm Polish. Why am I taking a C1 Spanish exam although I work in English? Hey, I'm Polish. Why my parents know more about my kid than my suegros who live next door? Hey, we're Polish. Off to get some decent bread, not toast bread or a baguette ;)
These videos make me want to move my family back to Poland. Been across the pond 106 years. There's a whole country of people like me, I'm missing out.
Yet another insightful and well covered topic / video. Considering our resistance to what is forced, they tried hard to teach me Russian for about 7 years, and proudly I erased all from my mind :) PS. 4:15 - haha, I thought it was only me to do like that :P
We Wloszech gdzie mieszkam, do miejsca pracy przychodziły osoby zeby mi powiedziec ze mieszkali troche czy wiecej w Polsce ze spotkali się z ogromną gościnnością i że nasza charakterystyka to szczerość...
I watched it with my British friend and she also noticed that we don’t do small talk and get deep and honest straight away, but I think You’ve covered it already in another video 😁
Elo mordeczko ;) Świetny odcinek, już nie pamiętam jak trafiłem na Twój kanał ale od pierwszego filmiku który obejrzałem wiedziałem że będzie to wartościowy Vlog i się nie myliłem ;) I wish the whole family health and perseverance in what you do and in your relationship. Greetings from Poland brother.
it's so easy to see the passion and interest in the way you talk about all the polish-related topics, it warms my heart so much, Im very grateful to see you talking so beautifully and truthfully about my country
Thank you sir! You and your family are welcome at my goral table anytime! You're right on all subjects when it comes to us and I appreciate your research and general love for our people. The next time you're in Poland you should visit the little village I was born in that is called Trybsz right on the foothills of the Tatra mountains. My family out there would welcome you with open arms sir!
Thank you, that was uplifting for me. We have to also remember that is just generalisation, but a pleasant one. In Midlands is a lot of stereotypes about Polish people and I overcame it and now I have friends everywhere - at uni and in work. Cheers!
It's wonderful how they worship grandparents! And I agree, it's wonderful how they embrace you in their families even when you are just a friend. Oh, and they are very smart! 🤓 And also I agree so down to earth 🌎
ABout being humble. I am polish, and usually I am humble, as you mentioned. But living in Germany forced me to "act different". And it really is acting. When I was searching for a job, I had that job interview, I was usually like "yeah, maybe I can do this." or " I have no experience, I don´t know" etc. I was 15 and I simply was telling the truth. I also wanted to sound friendly and not over the top. As a child, you learn to be friendly, not loud and such stuff. But yeah.... people probably thought, that I was an idiot. ^^ So later (and with a bit more experience) I changed my behavior completely. In one interview, I was like "I am sure, that I can do it!" "no problem" "I want to try it out" - and I got the job. In my last interview, 5 years ago, I acted like a very cheerful and very open minded person. And I told, what I can do but never said anything about stuff, that I can not do. And I got the job. Meanwhile, in the jobs, and living in germany in general, I recognized, that: If you don´t tell everybody, all the stuff what you did, then it never happened. Soooo I learned to tell the people: "oh look, I can do this shit and that shit. Oh look, I a m good in this, and good in that!!!!" This is completely against my nature, but sadly nessecary, because otherwhise, everybody would think, that I can do nothing. In germany you have to tell people and smear it in their faces, what your skills are. It is even so absurd, that there are so many people, talking about, how great they are, but in reallity they are really bad at averything. I look at people completely different. I expect them to be able and capable of everything. I think, on a basic level, everyone is good and only needs a little bit guidance for special stuff in special jobs. I made the experience, that, everytime, when someone is over the top telling me, that he knows something, than actually the opposite is truth. And because of that, we Poles are probably more humble. We don´t need to tell everybody, what we have, what we can. It makes people suspicious if they are praising themselfs too much. And yet, in germany, this is kind of expected. And that makes me nuts. :D example: Person A: I wallpapered my walls. PErson B: oooh wow, nice. you are very skilled. poland: Person A: I wallpapered my walls. Person B: ? - you wan´t an award for this?
You have a plus for considering us to be better than ourselves;) There are two wisdoms - life and educational wisdom. What both have are the ones you describe :)
twoje filmy są bardzo ciekawe pomimo że jestem z polski to z zaciekawieniem słucham każdego twojego filmiku, i najlepsze jest to że mówisz jak jest naprawde a nie wymyślasz swoje teorie , tak jak to robia niektórzy youtuberzy
Bardzo Ci dziękuję za te słowa, to co mówisz to prawda, dzięki tym pozytywnym narodowym cechom układa mi się świetnie za granicą i ludzie okazują mi sympatię i szacunek. Pozdrawiam serdecznie z Chile!❤
Recently I came back from DR 🇩🇴 and I was really impressed how much they know about Poland! I do not want to say, that I generalise them from the very beginning that they dont know nothing, because it is not true, but we have visit let’s say few countries all around the World and outside of the Europe it is not very common to meet someone who would have such a knowledge about our country... which is sometimes sad tbh :(. Btw, the trip was amazing, DR is really a great country, and Dominicans are veeery friendly and helpful. They are very welcome in here anytime! Saludos y gracias por sus amables palabras sobre los polcos!
Really? Where have you been in DR that average people knows about Poland culture or anything? Here many people believe New York it's a whole country...🤦♂️
6:30 That's literally me haha. Never wanted to talk to my english speaking friends as I thought my spelling was trash and that I only could communicate via text. Turns out they can understand everything I say.
A thing I really love about Poland- just as you said- is that polish people know the country and it's history. I would even call it "historical awareness", they are a lot more patriotic and stick to their own people. Furthermore the patriotism isn't connected to politics, it's the awareness of the poles themselfs and the country. Protecting polish culture and way of living from others is engraved in our bones and passed on from generation to generation to never forget who we are and what we stand for. I sometimes wish that the population here in Germany had more of that🤔😊
Hey there. Just to let you know I’ve watched some of your videos and mostly you’re right in the spot about us.. Poles. Considering this one I fully agree that as an individuals we have a lot, a loooot of drawbacks and I hate it.. honestly, I freaking hate it.. every single day. But as a nation we’re unbreakable, unbeatable, proud yet kind and friendly. But that’s what exactly make as Poles. That’s our culture, our history, our legacy, this is who we are and I love it and I wouldn’t change it! Have a great day 🙂
I totally agree with you! Thanks for kind words to us, Poles :) I am Polish and I am fond of compliments towards my country ;P If someone wants to become my friend (a foreigner or a Pole, this applies to everyone), all they have to do is say that they love and admired Poland and Poles, respect our history, see what we are like. Okay, maybe I'm vain when it comes to my homeland and nation, but what can I do if I love my country? Nationalism a human thing, or what it was like nacjonalism humanum est
He is so true my granddad spoke seven languages ane he even pass that down to me to speak seven languages and i believe that Poland will always remain the smartest country long live Poland polska
Jest to say massive thank you 🙏🏼 for your words and opinions. People like you helping us - Polish - to believe in ourselves. We us a country, nation went through lots of hard happening. To put it mildly. We are good, hard working and minding our own business people. 🙏🏼 take care.
When it comes to foreign languages, my 63-year-old father always puts me down. Maybe his knowledge is quite rusty, but he can speak English, German, French, Italian and Russian. I only speak English and French, understanding some Italian, so I think You're wright. All the best wishes from Gdańsk!
You are a super cool guy - emotional, naturally expressive. This is what Poles lack, who are sometimes a bit cold and stiff! That's why it's nice that you are with us! Super fajny emocjonalny, naturalnie ekspresyjny gość z Ciebie. Tego brakuje Polakom , czasem trochę chłodnym i sztywnym! Dlatego fajnie, że jesteś z nami!
As a Canadian with a Polish girlfriend, I agree with you. My girlfriend amazes me at all her talents and how smart she is! She's truly brilliant, driven, strong, reliable, intelligent, humble, hardworking, compassionate, and sexy af! She truly amazes me!
Sir, you nailed it. My great grandparents left partitioned Poland more than a century ago....and so much of my Americanski family behaves just as you point out. Poles are tough...I have pointed out to my Rusyn neighbors that Slavs are the world's toughest people. BTW, my wife is Latina.
