Comment on Polish
MustrumR@kbin.social 7 months agoPolish speaker here this is a moderately sensible sentence that reads:
The ruthless Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz (actual name and surname) has departed from Strzebrzeszyn (town name) to Pszczyna (another town) via Szymankowszczyzna (some village). Although many times he was full of bile, oblivious to the results, he found the final happiness in a grass blade.
The last sentence makes little logical sense to me, 'although' makes little sense there.

The although is the only thing throwing it off. Clearly Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz couldn’t handle life anymore, being so ruthless even though he was a sensitive boy, so he drank until his stomach was full of bile and took his life with a lawnmower blade, Slingblade style.
The only grass blade I can think of in Polish connotation is the blade of grass in Zubrowka, or bison grass wodka. I can’t find any etymological bridge to turovka (the grass species in the wodka).
Could you record an audio clip for those of us who are curious as to how this i pronounced? I tried reading it aloud, but my scandinavian vocal cords don’t flex that way.

Maybe he was passively suicidal and didn’t mind dying in the woods
