"Kuba pożyczył moj długopis" - Jakub borrowed my pen
"Kuba pożyczył mi jego długopos" - Jakub lent me his pen
I'm learning Polish slowly, living in Warsaw...

- richthegeek 4y agoNo true Pole?

- traceroute66 4y ago> Lolz. I don't know Polish, but Google Translate renders these as Yes, that's kind of the point. Sort of a Polish in-joke I guess. For an English language background on the power of "kurwa" and "pierdolic", I recommend these YouTube videos: Kurwa: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdWlspF3B2M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdWlspF3B2M Pierdolic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTgT-IU--zM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTgT-IU--zM
