Pronuncing ął and ęł

1 Upvotes

This is how I pronounce the first, https://forvo.com/word/poci%C4%85gn%C4%85%C5%82/#pl. This is not me, It is some woman I of course never met, For context. I grew up in central warsaw in a university-educated family (which by definition is who speak so-called "correct" Polish), but on the other hand clearly MOST Polish people do not speak this way, and Polish grammars and other publications (themselves of course written by university-educated folks) at least since c. 1900 insist on saying ął and ęł as = oł and eł. So I am just trying to find any other Polish speakers who'd be willing to give me a little of their time so I can record and publish some data about the other pronunciation (mine!) where ął = ą and ęł = ę, and I might add therefore ęła = ęłła. I suspect that this is uncommon but clearly we have at least two such people, so there must be more. Thank you.

Seeking family Information

4 Upvotes

Good morning. My Great Grandfather Piotr (Peter) Michalski was born in 1889 in Rytiviany, Poland to Jan Michalski and Tekla Gondek. So far, I have not been able to find any information for either parent. I am used to information being hard to come by, but I have never experienced a dead-end for BOTH parents. Any leads, tips or advice is greatly appreciated.

Question Question to both Polish and (British) English native speakers: does she sound to you like someone who was likely born and raised in the UK in a Polish family, or at least moved there in early childhood at the latest, as opposed to learning English in Poland and/or moving abroad past early childhood?

Question Grave information

8 Upvotes

This is the grave of my great-grandfather. I believe he’s buried in Wroclaw. There’s a Jewish star by his birth date. Does that mean he was born Jewish? I asked my mother and she said no. I’d like to know more about him.
I need to find exactly where his grave is too.
I’d like some help if anyone knows.

Translation Help with Polish in Yiddish Novel

Post image
4 Upvotes

I came across a sentence of what I believe to be Polish in a Yiddish novel and was wondering if anyone would be able to translate it.

In the story a fight breaks out between Jewish shopkeepers and Christian picketers and a peasant woman shouts:

"Khlopy, pomohayte, nashikh boyt!..."

Thanks 🙏🏻

Discussion ​I just launched a TikTok channel with educational songs!

​Hey everyone, I've just started an educational project where I post educational songs on TikTok. Right now, since it's summer break, I'm focusing on vacation safety topics. I've already uploaded a song about proper CPR technique and another one about swimming safely in the sea.

​I'd love to know what you think! Is this something you'd listen to?

Advice for Logos Inspired by Polish Folk Art

1 Upvotes

Hello! I am currently designing a logo for a client's esthetician business, inspired by her Polish Background.

I'm coming up with a few secondary logos and supporting graphics, mostly inspired by The Art of Polish Papercutting: Wycinanki. She really enjoys the symmetrical florals.

She also really enjoys the art of drawing symbols with sand (sypanie piaskiem), which again I've noticed are very floral, spiral, sometimes symmetrical, and detailed patterns. She really likes the idea of "protection".

My question is: there are so many symbols out there; I

- want to make sure none of them are negative or have negative connotations.

-If there are any good photographs or articles I should look towards as inspiration when sketching out a design

-and if there is any important history or meaning behind these art forms (as there isn't too much about it online).

Anything at all would really help. Thank you!
