How german is polish

@Súrmjólk how """ german""" is germany now

@Súrmjólk we have quite a lot loanwords

What happened to penny?

but its not "german" ofc

@Kraftwerk he says he doesn't feel mentally good and will be gone for a few days

its a slavic language

also we have even more french loan words afaik

I know danish and norwegian are very german influenced

those are germanic languages unlike polish

I'm always surprised when I discover another german loanword in polish

Thats where many of the 'odd' danish words i didnt understand come from

Videnskab = wissenschaft etc

german has idiotic english loan words

they literally put words like interview inside their sentences

or sandwich

or baby

Danish is worse

and pronounce it 1:1 english

They just adopt english words

we dont pronounce baby the english way

we say it much flatter

well alright

its cringe anyway!

we have actual words for that you know

a lot of german loanwords in polish really fit tho

its just people becoming americnized

you dont feel theyre foreign

Howd you say microwave in polish

mikrofalówka

Mikrowelle

Örbylgjuofn

lol

i mean what do you mean the devicec or

or the wave

The food heater device

yeah

So I take it that the polish aristocracy were huge frenchboos like in Russia?

not jsut the russians

french was the language of the aristocracy in general
