Interesting Polish tongue twister.

"Pójdźże, kiń tę chmurność w głąb flaszy."

This sentence contains all 32 letter of the Polish alphabet and each letter is used only once.

if anyone is wondering, the rough translation of that would be "Go on and drop your sadness into the depth of a bottle."

what's your fave polish tongue twister?

dziewięćsetdziewięćdziesięciodziewięciotysięcznik

One in English:

Theophiles Thistle, the successful thistle-sifter,
in sifting a sieve full of un-sifted thistles,
thrust three thousand thistles through the thick of his thumb. Now.....if Theophiles Thistle, the successful thistle-sifter,
in sifting a sieve full of un-sifted thistles,
thrust three thousand thistles through the thick of his thumb,
see that thou, in sifting a sieve full of un-sifted thistles,
thrust not three thousand thistles through the thick of thy thumb. Success to the successful thistle-sifter!

That's a bit like:

I'm not a pheasant plucker, i'm a pheasant plucker's mate, i'm only plucking pheasants, because the pheasant plucker's late. (try it, fast as you can!)

Raz w Sing Singu na dancingu, syn King -Konga gral w ping ponga.

Tere fere tere fere, gryzla myszka dwa selery, tere fere, tere fere, cztery sery bec.


Pewien narciarz z Sartogii zlamal sobie obie nogi, przyjechalo pogotowie, postawilo go na gowie i tak stoi dla przestrogi.

yes, another mouthful, isn't it? A few months ago, a Polish friend of mine lent me a book, in Polish, on Polish castles. One of the words was a good inch-and-a-half long ! I wish I had written it down. I just couldn't believe my eyes. I love learning Polish.

Hey Miranda ! Good to see you ! I read you're about to leave for Poland. I wish I was going with you. Btw, you're simply great, you know that? You have an answer for everything and such a good angle when you respond to some of the posts. You've become my idol ! You go girl !
miranda   Dec 13, 06, 18:17 /  #
Syrena, you make me blush.
And you are my idol too - you are so balanced, while I am hot headed!!!!!
I think I made some enemies here too. I was a bit upset yesterday at some people's responses.
I managed to arrange my travel to Poland in no time. Thanks to the canadian government and travel agency I am able to go, even though 2 days ago I was not evenentartaining that idea. I love Canada!!!!

Well, you had every right to be upset ! That response in your thread was unforgivably nasty. What an insensitive jerk ! I think it's great that your travel plans came through so well. Must be a sign

Gee, would you believe I'm a Libra? Wonder if that has anything to do with it. And, I'm not sure but, could you be an Aries?

Gemini actually - 2 people I call it split personality. I could be cool and rational and yet really emotional and too quick with reactions
What about you?

It made me think of mountains cos the only similar words i've come across in polish are "czterotysięcznik" and "trzytysięcznik", meaning respectively a 2.000 and 3.000m high mountain. But my dictionary says there's also "dwutysięcznik" - a two-thousand-tonner, that's a kind of ship?, and probably the name has sth to do with the weight. so, what i'm getting at is that you're right as well i guess

Ok fine....... Hasał huczek z tłuczkiem wnuczka i niechcący huknął żuczka. ? Ale heca... - wnuczek mruknął i z hurkotem w hełm się stuknął. Leży żuczek, leży wnuczek, a pomiędzy nimi tłuczek. Stąd dla huczka jest nauczka by niehasać z tłuczkiem wnuczka
