Polish and Czechs

Aha, LC, u have to try it done by the proper procedure. Sugar cubes n'all. Without the sugar, it just ain't sweet girl. The bottled stuff lags way behind

I would think Lithuanians because Poland and Lithuania used to be one nation.



Definitely not the same language however was derived from the same language as Polish. Many Czechs and Poles can still communicate with each other speaking their own languages and most will be understood.

oh no :) honestly they don't like us ;-) I have been to Lwow I have been to Czech rep. I have been to Lithuania ... Ukrainians seem to like us (I don't trust them ;) ), Czechs were neutral (towards me), Lithuanians are not our friends ... all they have it is folk everything ealse has been created by Poles or by Russians (they decided to deny their noble past) ... so they are very nationalistic ... politicans have much better contact than people ... in Lithuania Poland is admired by people who consider themselves Poles ... what is more surrounding lands to their capital are governed by Poles in coalition with ... Russians :P

What can be interesting Russians like Poles, what a pity they don't have influence on their regime decisions.

Here is something I got from a website, I don't really agree with it though:

What Europeans think of each other

---

The Poles — Not much seems to register about Poland and the Poles except that they’re quiet. They are a relatively big country (40 million people) so the supposed scare of being overrun by Eastern Europeans when a bunch of Eastern European countries joined the EU in 2005 focused in on the Poles. The Germans really don’t like Poles, and among Germany’s 9 neighbors, are disliked the most. Poland is considered a country of car thieves by the Germans. Really, the relationship between Germany and Poland is similar to that of the United States and Mexico, and often for many of the same reasons (differences in income, history of war, different languages, etc.).Poles really shore up their hatred for their eastern & southern neighbors, primarily Russia and Ukraine, although they don’t like Czechs, Slovaks or Lithuanians either. Oddly, they don’t really mind the Germans, and probably still fear them a bit — you never, ever hear jokes about Germans in Poland.

The Czechs — Considered a relatively bright spot of Eastern Europe by Western Europeans, but I think primarily because Prague is such a gorgeous city and a popular tourist destination. Czechs are a bit like Germans, though — a bit rude, blunt, and cold. Poles don’t have much good to say about them.

Completely disagree, except disliking Russians and Ukrainians, and the car thieving bit :)

Stag parties and sex-tourists ;)



Ukrianians are more and more liked in Poland ... in result of orange revolution, closer ties with Poland and maybe it is result of 350 000 - 1 000 000 Ukrainians who work in Poland (I think they are prefered imigrants) but still ... . As to Russians we dislike more they country than people.

as to making jokes form Germans (in second min appear German)

The Czechs are more mature nation I would say. Ukrainian society seems to be so naive and their "liking" might disappear quickly because of some trivial issue. Hopefully I'm wrong.



Then they should invade us, I will be the first to wave white flag :)

There is some reluctance from Czech and Slovak side. I speak Slovak and Czech fluent and I spoke many times with Czech ans Slovak people. Slovaks don't like us more than Czech, to be sure I found it as an inferiority complex. They said something that they came to Polish markets for shopping (they probably try to found us as we found Russians in the beginning of 90'). I like them in general and don't know any Polish who doesn't like them. They have nice country (both Czech and Slovak) and speak nice language which is no problem to learn for Polish.

Regarding those people that looked decent and hate Polish... you probably found some guys on sport suits who don't like anybody apart from them :)

They will rename Warsaw Valduz East and they will demand that all art be paintings of comic book panels! Liechtensteiners, all 34 thousand of you, on the march!

I have read that Polish, Czech and Slovak nationalists are good buddies.

Oh yes Czechs in comparison to Ukrainians look much more mature ...

as to Ukrainians their president has noticed last time that Polish TV they watch in part of Ukraine is dangerous or brainwash them (our German media lol) ... so ... I think you are right.

btw it is normal Ukrianian syndrome ... they don't know where they want to be ...



especialy when it comes to Germans ... I think that connections end here ...

And there are even Poles, who like Germans... Looks like you are looking for a sensation where there isn't any... Generally Poles like Czechs but see them as funny and quite "unserious" people. Czech attitude toward Poles seem to be more neutral but still definately more positive than negative, so I don't see any problem.

This thread reminds me of a conversation i had recently with friends, i know Polish, Czech and Slovak people who all understand much of what they each say. After learning this a couple of my English friends said that it makes sense, what with the countries being so close, Yugoslavia, USSR, blah blah...

So i asked them how many words they knew in Welsh, Celt or Gaelic (Scotts and Irish lingos) and funny enough, they didnt know any!

But then thats probably just the English ignorance and our meglomanical expectations that the whole world should speak English.

Cest la vie.... oh no wait, wrong language... aww who cares, its all Europe right?

... erm, whats the relationship between Poland and France like? do they hate you guys too?

We hate them because they eat our snails.

Rofl!!

oh wait, whats Rofl in Polish?

But they really eat our snails.

ROFL is the same, just like LOL.

Poland has great seafood. Who eats ur crabs Greg?

I'm on the seafood diet. I c food and I eat it

Well they don't eat ours, you should be proud!
