Seanus: It looks as if my version was more natural than yours, PP52 ;) ;) Was it? Seanus: Czym pierwszy, tym lepszy. So, my one :) :) Spiesz się powoli.

As a direct translation to the thread, yes. More literal but yours was fine too. More haste, less speed :)

Seanus: PP52, Japanese. I lived there for 2 years. I might be a bit rusty now but I wouldn't need too much brushing up. I am sure you speak better Japanese than natives:)Get a life Seanus you will never speak my level of Polish so get used to it.Not that you don't do ok though.

I am sure I don't :) I'm sitting with my neighbour now and he doesn't speak English. Go figure! This isn't a competition here. So, nie ma przystanka is bad or good?

Seanus: So, nie ma przystanka is bad or good? sounds... common :) I mean, uneducated. Really. Like 'nie ma stoła'.

Człowiek się uczy całe życie...

Nie ma przystanka. Nie ma przystanka. No nie ma mowy, żebym ja tak mówił :) Zlikwidowali przystanek, o. Tam nigdy autobus nie stawał, o. Przystanek? Nie ma. No.

Wyjątek, i już. I nie przeciw mi się, kobieto!

Przystanka... naah :\

As much as "przystanka" may be correct,overwhelming majority says "przystanku".

pgtx: i'm Polish... it sounds weird... You’re right, It does, what’s wrong with using perfectly normal and natural old fashion polish saying (hulaj dusza - piekła nie ma!) in this case instead of direct English to Polish translation.

Seanus: As a direct translation to the thread, yes. More literal but yours was fine too. Thank you very much,BUT you don't translate "How old are you?" to "Jak stary jesteś?" but "Ile masz lat?".Unless you do,do you?:)

ShortHairThug: hulaj dusza - piekła nie ma! Geeez.... PGTX you're right! 'żyj jakbyś miał umrzeć jutro' means memento mori! Tomorrow you may stand before the Judge, so you better bloody behave! Be decent, so people remember you well. You were right!

"live like there is no tomorrow" means throw caution to the winds, no consequences, and that was the original question posted here. Look it up. Geeez.. what planet did you come from. Memento mori , means "Remember your mortality" moron.

ShortHairThug: “live like there is no tomorrow” means throw caution to the winds, no consequences, and that was the original question. exactly, and 'żyj jakbyś miał umrzeć jutro' means 'live as if you gonna die tomorrow'. Memento mori. Sounds perfectly Polish, rolls off the tongue, only the meaning is quite opposite. What is moron? A Polish word?

Here’s the original question:

mishukley123:

i was wondering if someone would be kind enough to translate the following phrase into polish for me:

"live like there is no tomorrow"
or
"live each day like its your last"

I always come from the assumption that what you ask for in the first place is what you have in mind "live like there is no tomorrow" is "hulaj dusza - piekła nie ma!" in Polish period.
EDIT: And his interpretation of "live each day like its your last" simply means "To the fullest" not what you interpret it to be as "Memento mori".

Period. Now the other one means what? It got mixed up in the beginning. Apparently identical meaning, completely different sense.

I meant directly conveying the sense, PP52, not a word-for-word translation.
