Být nebo nebýt

 

Thanks (dekuju ???).
Can you add "To be or not to be, this is the question"
mo

 

Existuje nebo neexistuje tahle otazka! But if you were Polish, I thought you know that beter than me.

 

Why???? I am Polish, but Polish and Czech are not the same.

 

I know, but Czech and Polish are Slavic languages, and both Czech people and Polish people can understand each other well ! I used to be jealous when I did speak something to Czechs and they misunderstood(that time I'd got learnt Czech for 2 years). A Polish man can speak Czech after one week ! So unfairable

 

Some traditional translations:

1) Být či nebýt toť otázka.
2) Být, nebo nebýt? To je otázka...
3) Zda žít nebo nežít – to je, oč tu běží...
...
and many others

As far I know these Czech Hamlet translations are rewarding topic for Poles. They supposedly sound funny (in the same way as Polish sounds funny for Czechs).

Sorry, but this means something else (does or does not this question exist).

See doman's location!!!

 

Aha, spatne jsem rozumel o carkou ! A docela jsem nemyslel o Shakespearem !
Thanks Wer !

 

Yes. I am very sorry, most of such polish "translations" are simply fabricated. Most of Polish people are taking them as true. One of the examples is "To be or not to be ...". I considered to check some of them, and I hope you will help me. I mean to check which of them are true.
I even hesitate to show you such "translations", maybe they are just stupid and impolite.
The only source I can hear Czech language are Czech movies (yesterday I saw Pelisky - great pleasure!). It is fact Czech sounds for us a little bit funny, but it's very interesting too. Maybe it would be great to start learning it.

Vypada jako Polske pismo a Slovenske pismo nez Ceske ?

 

CZ / SK / PL: veverka / veverica / wiewiórka

I think this joke come from Czech, drevokocúr is common Czech joke on Slovak.

This is correct.

CZ / SK / PL: párek v rohlíku / párok v rožku / bułka z parówką

CZ / SK / PL: Kouzelná flétna / Čarovná flauta / Czarodziejski flet

more or less

CZ / SK: porouchaný, rozbitý / rozbitý (=damaged, broken-down)

Cédéčko is both Czech and Slovak colloquial term for CD.

CZ / SK / PL / EN: trvalá adresa / trvalá adresa / adres stały / permanent address
CZ / SK / PL / EN: trvalé bydliště / trvalé bydlisko / pobyt stały / permanent residence

This is fully fabricated. It could be a Czech joke on Polish as well. :wink:

CZ / SK / PL: snoubenec / snúbenec / narzeczony

CZ / SK / PL: podprsenka / podprsenka / biustonosz, stanik

This is repeated topic of Czech jokes on Polish. And we needn't fabricate, biustonosz sounds funny.

CZ / SK / PL: (dámské) kalhotky / (dámské) nohavičky / majtki, majteczki

CZ / SK / PL: vážení diváci / vážení diváci / szanowni widze ?: Szanowni Państwo!)

CZ / SK / PL: mám nápad / mám nápad / mam pomysł

Czech/Slovak: momentálně nepřítomni / momentálne neprítomni (plural form)

CZ / SK / PL / EN: souhvězdí / súhvezdie / gwiazdozbiór / constellation
CZ / SK / PL / EN: hvězdokupa / hviezdokopa / gromady gwiazd / star cluster

Polish commercials advertising świeży zapach are very funny for us, since svěží zápach means fresh stink (świeży smród) in Czech.

 

Aha, eso was faster, sorry. That's the problem of long answers.

 

And of course, there are jokes on Polish word "Szukam"

 

How do you say "tap" in Polish?
"czurka v ścianie" lub "czuraczek zazdiony" (zazděný = zamurowany)
brassiere: "podpora pro cecki", "kosz na cecki"
blacha: in Czech "plech", but "blacha" is similar to Czech "blecha"="pchła" (flea)
źródlo: in Czech "pramen, zdroj, zřídlo" (source), similar to Czech "žrádlo"="potrawa", but vulgar in connecton with people

How do you say "zákryt!" (alignment) in Polish:
"prosze pana, pan za pana, aby nie było widzeć pana!"
- the way how to politely address somebody is crazy

We find crazy also the title in Polish notices:
"Obywatelu!..."
"obywatel"= Czech "občan", but "obyvatel" means in Czech inhabitant, inmate.

and many oters, now it's difficult to remember 8) 8)

 

First of all thanks for every answer. Dekuju pikne . I did not expected such a big interest of the subject. I'll try to explain why this words sound funny for Polish.

I suppose prepared for fun

'bydlisko' is similar to Polish word 'bydle' - big ugly unpleasent animal, it is possible to say 'bydle, bydlak' about bad men

Bytka abo ne bytka to je zapytka
prepared for fun
'pytanie, zapytanie' - question
Polish: "Być albo nie być, oto jest pytanie"

produpnik
stupid, prepared for fun
it should be snoubenec/nápadník/přítel
Polish: narzeczony

cyckowa wygoda

correct translation: podprsenka
Polish: biustonosz, stanik

vážení diváci
'dziwak' - in Polish 'strange abnormal man',

Thanks Karel, for Czech jokes on Polish words

Very short and simple word: 'kran'
I suppose, 'czuraczek, czurka' means 'penis' ???

Ano, BLACHA Blacha stalowa, blacha miedziana, blacha aluminiowa.

If you mean "žrádlo"="potrawa" as something to eat, there is similar Polish word 'żarcie' - something to eat, not vulgar but not very polite.

Good and wise joke!
Should say "Niech Pan się schowa"
Ok. This is typical for us to use words Pan, Pani, very often and too often. It is practically the only way to speak to unknown person, to teacher, to shopseller. People from neighbouring countries are laughing on us because of this. They say: "U was jen Pany".

The word 'Pan' was practically forbiden in the time of comunism. We were forced to use word 'obywatel'. For example "Obywatelu Profesorze", "Obywatelu Dyrektorze". Now the word 'obywatel' means only 'inhabitant'.
For example:
W Polsce jest 40 milionów obywateli.
Jana Novakova - obywatelka Czech.
