ceigered:Farbi = Polish; farbować. (with the exact technical meaning - oni farbas teksajxon je alio koloro.)Zafur:The difference is really subtle... I'm not entirely sure I can see the difference?farbi comes from german/belorussian influence I think, and has more an idea of colouring, or a more uniform method of painting.
Mind you, Zamehof knew Polish so he couldn't have failed to miss this word.

ceigered:Thanks Solulo, I couldn't find a Polish definition of "farbi" on ReVo, so I couldn't write itPolish "farbować" actually comes from German "die Farbe (color), färben (to color)". So it is rather German that impressed Zamenhof in this case.

targanook:In China they eat dogs - I wonder if there is any change in taste for a normal and painted dog...I was to China a couple of times, but I saw cats only. I don't know if they were painted or not (after several beers such things do not matter at all...

)What is interesting, in many Chinese restaurants in Beijing I saw menus with Polish handwritings describing served meals (not English but Polish!). There you could see:
"dobre" (good)
"nie jedz tego gówna" (don't eat that shit)
"da się zjeść" (eatable)
"do dupy" (? as good as ass)
and so on.
What is even more suprising, in many places on the market the Chinese could speak Polish, so we had to be extra carefull what we were saying. OncE i entered a Chinese shop selling children shoes. I took one of such shoes and said to my camrade:
"patrz, jaki but do dupy" (look, what a f..cking shoe)
At those words a Chinese popped up crying:
"Co do dupy, dobry but, kupować..." (why f..cking shoe, a good one, buy."
We left the place very quickly. Chinese are very intelligent people.

geo63:"dobre" (good)Written by fellow poles or by chinese who just wanted to use a "secret" language?
"nie jedz tego gówna" (don't eat that shit)
"da się zjeść" (eatable)

and so on.

I was just wondering if in conversation, text, etc a "surpentrita ĉevalo" could be misunderstood as a horse with paint on it, and not for a certain appearance of horse. ^^;; If it would be better to stick -um in there or something... geo63 (Arată profil) 13 septembrie 2011, 18:24:42
ceigered:How can Polish be a secret language when it is spoken world-wide. If you throw a bottle away in Antarctida in the dark, you might well hear in a reply:geo63:"dobre" (good)Written by fellow poles or by chinese who just wanted to use a "secret" language?
"nie jedz tego gówna" (don't eat that shit)
"da się zjeść" (eatable)
"do dupy" (? as good as ass)
and so on.
"Ouć, pojebało cię, facet?" - "ouch, are you crazy, man (polite translation)"
And think, if Chinese can speak Polish in the market-place, then who visits them? Eskimos?
