Oi kurwa
(jlai.lu)
Classic, I'm sending this to the Slavs in my life.
Ofc I could tell, that's the Polish flag upside down
You know what, I'm adding that to my repertoire too. No sense in letting a good joke go to waste the next time there's an event with name tags.
How is that name pronounced? Chuck?
Just like it's spelled.
Gregorz Brzeczyszczykiewicz would like a word
It's not a real name and it is hard to pronounce even for a Pole.
it might he hard for all you lazy Poles up there in the north, but we have it down pat back here in the balmy south,
Czywinostawcz would be pronounceable, but the j fucks it up.
"cz" marks the same sound as the English "ch". "j" marks the same as "y" in "yes". Otherwise you read it letter by letter, a bit as if it was Spanish.
So... Is Ch'yvinos'tavch legible enough? :) Although, the pronounciation of the j would be so weak that you could perhaps skip it. It does alter the sound a bit, but doesn't really sound as an independent sound in this word. So, also Ch'vinos'tavch could maybe be a valid transcription? And of course real Polish language does not have the combination czj anyway :)
It might be trying to spell Czy wino stawić?
Taaak, dla czego nie :)
The P is silent
We don’t do silent letters. Life is difficult enough.
Looking at these words and names I really think some silent letters would actually help out
I can try my best until an actual Pole drops by... I'm guessing something like "Chinostas Chabras" (I apologize I'm advance for how wrong I probably am, I'm just applying what I learned from how to pronounce other polish names but I don't speak the language whatsoever).
It's not Polish, just letters mashed in. You can tell by how utterly unpronounceable that made up word is.
You can't have j (pronounced as y in yoga) letter after cz (pronounced like ch in check), it would evolve into i (pronounced like e in e).
All the information is on the task.
Polish jokes are a reflection of imperialist propaganda, imported and spread through American xenophobia. This is funny, I just also like history
I'm just now realizing that "pole" does not mean a metal cylindrical object and, infact, is a group of people living in Poland
I've always kinda disliked the name Pole for that reason, but it is what it is
We used to say "Polack" but only in a derogatory way because people arw terrible.

Half the polish jokes today are just about the language putting too many consonants together.
I thought I had a meme about Polish people doing Florida man stuff, but I didn't
The only one I remember is this story
Accept this kurwa as a substitute: KURWA
I mean, this is incredibly tame for imperialist propaganda. You wouldn't believe the shit I see in America. Take Enemy At The Gates for example.
I am too dumb to understand what the propaganda is misrepresenting or why, can you explain?
you right though
Polish is easier to read when written in Cyrillic, but apparently native poles don't like that idea. Why not invent your own alphabet or Atleast bring over some Cyrillic phonology for specific letters?
Looks like Kim Jong Un in his profile pic
Gotta be a fake account for the meme
