Why are there so many words for kiss in Polish?
Calus, Buziak, Pocalunek etc.

What are the differences?

why are there so many words for kiss-does each word describe a different type of kiss or level of committment to whom its being said?

A question for you...

why not? :P

and no, it does not describe anything, those are just "exchanges" for the standard one "kiss"

True... And it's much more interesting when you can use 10 words to describe something instead of just one.

Hmm, let me think...
Cmok = smooch
Buziak is rather informal. For example you'd say it to a child "Daj buziaka mamusi"
Pocałunek is all purpose good one :)
And "całus" sounds kinda noble. And in some tenses there is no verb form of "pocałować", you have to use "całować" then (for example in present: "I'm kissing" - "Ja całuję")

because we are very 'kissable'... and if we like something so much, we start making up more words :D
