    I remember when my Polish friend was like “Wrocław” is pronounced “Vrots-loff.” wtf?

      It’s pretty close to how you would pronounce that in German if you would read it for the first time

      Correction: “Vrots-waff”. Ł, ł sounds the same as W, like in “why”.

  Low effort.

  At least pick some real sounding ones, like “Przemysław Mądrzykowski”, or something…

    Most people don’t know what “real sounding” sounds like. Just like this German word isn’t real: “Feierverschwindungsgefühl”

      Party-disappearance-feelings? Or “Feeling of party fading” Man the Germans have a word for everything! But seriously any real words compounded together that make anything near to sense, is a word in German.

      “Feierverschwindungsgefühl”

      Technically, that is a word in German, it means “feeling of celebration enshrinkening”. Might not be very popular, but it follows the rules 😉

  And the optometrist asked him if he could read the last line of the eye chart, to which he replied “Read it? That’s my wife’s maiden name”

  Once I met a Slovak guy with clearly polish surname, so I asked him wether he had polish ancestors. He genuinely didn’t get why would I think something like that…

  • weeabooextract@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Maybe because Slovak and Polish are both West Slavic languages? So they are similar.

    source

    • kozel@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      As a west Slav (Moravian) myself, I’m usually able to distinguish these two, especially in written form. The meme shows the characteristics of polish quite realistically.
