WHY DO POLES USE ENGLISH WORDS IN CONVERSATION?

You should try "Pamiętniki" of Jan Chryzostom Pasek sometime. That's an eye opener!

At least in English, "schadenfreude" resp. "Schadenfreude" means 'malicious gloating'! True, in the original there's only one word for English two, but this is as good a native equivalent as one can get.

That's what your English wikipedia says. :-)

Latin was in use in Poland since 10th century, long before any cultural contacts with England have been stablished.

There is a quote from Jesus Christ: Gratis accepistis, gratis date

And no, schadenfreude is NOT the same as malicious gloating - the fact that the word comes from German adds an extra layer of meaning, say what you might! ;-P

I just wish the Poles wouldn't say sponsoring when they mean a discreet form of prostitution.

Menage a trois and partouse sound better than any of the alternatives.

Bring the beers and we bring the ouzo
and bring the czech women to do a partouse

What else is "malicious gloating" other than "shameful (actually "harmful", to be literally exact in German!) happiness"?? I'm a translator so I've often got to second guess meaning in order to arrive at some sort of textual veracity.
Think we're splitting hairs, frankly-:)

Interesting, however we don't know very much about 10th Century Poland

Agitabant patres nostri cervos, apros, capreas,
Hii venantur monstra maris et opes aequoreas.

Nasi ojce na jelenie urządzali polowanie,
A my skarby i potwory łowim, skryte w oceanie.

Our fathers hunted for deer,
But we hunt for treasures and monsters, hidden in the ocean.

and the way they spoke can only be guessed at.

As far as we know, He spoke neither Latin nor Polish.

In 1625, an unsigned pamphlet was printed and distributed in Kraków. It opened with the word Gratis. The pamphlet deals with the allegedly free (gratis) education offered by the Jesuits. The author argues that the claim of a free education is false. The author was, as it turned out, Brożek, and the pamphlet was his contribution in the struggle agains Jesuits. However, this episode ended badly. The city guards raided the printer’s shop, the owner was arrested, flogged at the pillory and banned from Kraków. Gratis was burned at the pillory but Brożek was spared because the Academy defended him firmly.
The Jesuits replied by publishing "Gratis Plebański" [The Parson’s Gratis]. That awkward but venomous text was written by Fryderyk Szembek, a well-known Kraków Jesuit theologian disguised under the pen name of Pięknorzecki (which can be roughly translated as Goldentongued). The Kraków students staged a public auto da fe of "Gratis Plebański" burning it at the stake in one of the city’s squares. This incident shows once again how heated the conflict between the Academy and the Jesuits was. Brożek continued for some time to participate in the struggle. He wrote several memorials in defense of the Academy, traveled many times to Warsaw, already a capital at that time, and petitioned the royal court to defend the university against the Jesuits.

Oh yes, we know enough

How is it relevant? But I know enough about four schools of Latin pronunciation

So sorry, your hypothesis here is quite weak.

worse and worse, folks.

Need a tissue?

worse and worse, folks.

this guy curses in English! He says sh*t

: a) When I try to speak Polish, people (especially the younger ones) simply reply to me in English. If I'm making the effort to learn and speak your language, at least have the decency to talk back to me in Polish. This is also very hypocritical because I often hear people complaining that foreigners (especially English) come to Poland and don't bother learning even basic Polish. You should be proud of your language, not butchering it with English words, which quite frankly sound so wrong when used in a Polish sentence.

It's a sign of globalization.

"downshiftowalem" is a sign of madness.

Downshifting is a relatively new word even in English. It's concise, and describes a new social phenomenon.
The only dictionary translation I found into Polish is "zmienić pracę na mniej stresującą i mniej płatną". Quite a mouthful.

That's when someone will come up with a Polish equivalent.

Downshifting is a relatively new word even in English. It's concise, and describes a new social phenomenon.

I have never heard an American or any native speaker of English say, "Geeze, I really need to downshift, I'm going to exhaust myself this week." Of the native UK/Australia/New Zealand English speakers out there, have you ever heard "downshifting" being used in this way?

Germans and Austrians use so many French words, such as "Portemonnaie" for "wallet".

I'm just waiting for 'Ciapaki' to reach Poland...

In American English, to downshift is used to describe shifting gears in a mechanical device like a car, motorcycle, bicycle, etc., and it has been used for as long as I can remember.

This actually is a Polish word

Perhaps I should have spelt it 'Czapaki'.

But we are discussing this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Downshifting

We use this word in Polish too

and I've never heard it being used that way, hence, why I'm asking native speakers of English on here if they have any experience with this particular usage.
