Dlaczego są wy tak (więc) odurzony?

L O S E and R.

ps. how did that actually translate?

according to poltran.com "Dlaczego są wy tak (więc) odurzony?" to english is "Why so, you are so ( ) stupid "

next time try it in proper polish, "dlaczego jesteś taka durna?"

Speaking of Poland, ever seen the Pianist? Damn good movie.

well online translators translate word for word rather then phrases. so you end up with weird translations.

and no .. i don't think i've seen that movie.

.

I know, that's why I find them entertaining (although pointless in general).

they give you some general idea of what someone is trying to say... so i guess it's good.

i use it if i don't know the correct spelling of a word or to get the words with symbols n shit.

Yah, i'm noticing there's a lot of those symbols n shit... kinda bordering on russian in some ways, but not really at the same time, you know.

"Cyrillic alphabet (Кириллица)
Origin
The Cyrillic alphabet is named after St. Cyril, a missionary from Byzantium. It was invented sometime during the 10th century AD, possibly by St. Kliment of Ohrid, to write the Old Church Slavonic language. The Cyrillic alphabet achieved its current form in 1708 during the reign of Peter the Great. Four letters were eliminated from the alphabet in a 1917/18 reform."

The russian alphabet looks like a mix between Roman (english) and Greek letters... polish seems to have more weird lookin letters

"Polish (Polski)
Polish is a Western Slavonic language with about 40 million speakers in Poland, Lithuania and Belarus. There are also fairly large communities of Polish émigrés in the UK, USA and Canada. Polish is closely related to Czech, Slovak and Sorbian and less closely related to Belorussian and Russian. "

So there you have it! Linguistics is exciting!
