7 Things That SHOCKED Me When I Moved To Poland

[@kajosan79]

The biggest misconception about Poland is the perception of this country as very religious. Secularization in this country is progressing exponentially, the more it accelerates, the more conservative circles want to show how important religion is. Young people are mostly critical of religion or are atheists. I am 43 years old and the statement that Poles are very religious was correct 20, 30 years ago. Now young people and even those my age are very critical of the institution of the church.

True

My best take on "Nie?" is translating it to "Isn't it?", which is pretty close to "No?", no? LOL. BTW your edits' timing is brilliant...

[@kajosan79]

This "no", it's such a "noo", with such a light elongated oo :-)

[@markbajkowski1171]

Well, my first-hand experience is that elongated "noo" ending with a higher-pitch ending implies a question. That, again, can be translated only as "isn't it?". Without that pitch change, it is just a more forceful "noo!".

@@markbajkowski1171 Odnośnie jak wiele może znaczyć, no, nooo, albo noo i. Przypomniało mi ten kawał🤣 Professor of Polish philology at the lecture: - As you know, in Slavic languages ​​there is not only a single negation. There is also a double negation. And even a double negation as confirmation. There is no double confirmation as a negation. To this the student from the last bench: - Yeah Yeah (dobra, dobra) Profesor filologii polskiej na wykładzie: - Jak Państwo wiecie w językach słowiańskich jest nie tylko pojedyncze zaprzeczenie. Jest też podwójne zaprzeczenie. A nawet podwójne zaprzeczenie jako potwierdzenie. Nie ma natomiast podwójnego potwierdzenia jako zaprzeczenia. Na to student z ostatniej ławki: - Dobra, dobra.

you don't need the signal direction light when you join the rondo (some drivers do this, but its cause of their habit not rules), because rondo is always one -direction street but you need to blink the direction when you are leaving the rondo, because it's treated as making a right turn into different street Polish "no" is a west slavic thing in Czech yes is "ano" but beware of the Bulgarians, they shake and nod their head in opposite, nod means no, shake means yes in there😂 actually, it's the Virgin Mary not Jesus that's true royalty here 😎 Holy Mary was crowned as the Queen of Poland in 1656 by king Jan Casimir in Lviv cathedra

We do have roundabouts in America, they’re just not as common place.

[@THEBLUMANTIC]

Oh cool! I didn’t know that. Where do they have them?? It also shows how Europe influenced much of our architecture and roads in USA

And i wrote this comment after first 30 secs of your vid. It turned out I was right.

[@uceee1]

I think jesus is legally a king of Poland. Seriously. Look it up.

[@kryokori]

nope, those are more religious than official titiles of Jesus but in 1656, Holy Mary was oficially crowned Queen of Poland ☝️
