I'm Polish and I've always wondered why Łódź is called that since there is no water, no river, no lakes there. And literally a few days ago I was watching a RUclips video of some foreigner. He was at the Tourist Information point and there he was told that there were a lot of small water canal in Łódź, so it was a good location for an industrial city that Łódź used to be.
@@SarahAchleithner I assume you arrived in Łódź because you got lost, is that right? It is impossible to deliberately travel from Krakow to Łódź. It doesn't make sense...
Ale siurpryza - ? It is believed that Łódź comes from words like Łodzia or Łoza so it has nothing to do with water or boat. (current meaning is accidental)
@@peter_oso Nazwa miasta Łódź pochodzi od nazwy wsi Łodzia (Lodza). Jako, że wieś leżała na bagnistych i podmokłych terenach, według wielu badaczy porastały ją w większości łozy, wierzby średniej wielkości, stąd nazwa łozia, synonim łodzi. In English: The name of the city of Łódź comes from the village named Łodzia (Lodza). As the village was located in swampy and marshy areas, according to many researchers it was mostly overgrown by łoza (Salix cinerea), medium-sized willows, hence the name łozia a synonym of łódź.
Sarah, regarding that kid cursing this way at home. What is he? 7? 8? Unfortunately it looks as if he was brought up in some seriously dysfunctional family. I can’t possibly imagine ever taking like that in front of my parents when I was so small. Also, a lot of foreigners seem to normalize the k… word in Polish, just as if it was a natural coma used everywhere. I can assure you and you probably know yourself that this is a very strong swear word and people who use it frequently present a total lack of manners. Most Polish people don’t use such words that often.
i think in 12:05 its about the way of work and how clever or ethical (?) polish worker is but it can releate to language as well tbh polish in comparison to czech or ukrainian is turtle against cheetah at least imo
On the note of crane climbing: Sometimes it the only to do it. For ex. in the US (and Canada) telecom maintenance technicians do free-climbing on cellphone towers and radio-station antennas. And we're talking about hundreds of feet high structures. They secure themselves only when resting or on the top of the tower doing their job. Example, YT video: *_Climbing The World's Tallest Radio Tower_*

I'm from Boat City! There are many legends as to why the city is named the way it is, but to this day there is no definitive proof of how and why and who came up with it and the reason for it sticking this long...
The name "Łódź" might have its root from medival times or even before that, when traders and merchants used rivers to travel and move their goods, possibly faster and safer way. Łodź migh have been a place they took to rest and slowy over time the city was created.
Polish construction workers hase a fraze "Po szklanie i na rusztowanie" , it means "on glass(full of vodka) and scaffolding" so safety belts are unnecessary.
Yes! but i do not agree with police in Poland and noone from Poland will agree with *Police in Poland is really nice and great and stuff like that* but yeaaaa... Great VIDEO and its not a bad response to your video, i just wanted to say it :)
5th(on mothers side) and 6th(on fathers side) generation (at least that I’m aware of looking back into family history) born and raised in Łódź here🤙 soo I can say a lot of fun facts about it like that I’m one of those who know the true definition of the word “getto” and so on but that’s too long of an essay for here, that said only gonna add to that “need a boat” thing- we do actually have like about 19 underground rivers ✌️
Disco Polo went main stream? Oh, no. In High School people who listened to that stuff were considered losers. I hate it, I can stand EDM though, the music on the TikTok wasn't Disco Polo.

Yet another great and funny video, thanks Sarah btw parents really should watch their language while children are around. Here's an example of bad parenting from England: ruclips.net/user/shortsJLLFeZGeXbA
EDM and disco polo are NOT the same. Disco Polo is like a totally different kind of its own - a cheesy simple synth music with overly emotional or raunchy lyrics... a very poor taste genre in general. Wouldn't recommend. I'm not saying EDM can't be lousy, but it comes from club environment and electronic music scene, while disco polo has more of a rural festive-dancing roots, starting back from late '80 and has survived somehow to this day, mostly because it seems to be easily percieved by many while drunk... 🥴 Once you get the idea you'll be able to distinguish it correctly. I bet it was an EDM you heard in fitness clubs and many other places, not disco polo. That one in the TikTok wasn't a disco polo either. It was an EDM track - we can argue whether it is a tasteful one (not so much in my opinion), but it's still a much higher class music compared to disco polo. Don't exactly know why someone said it satisfies their east european urge... - I may guess it was meant to be more about dancing or "partying hard" than the music itself? Or maybe because this music reminds a balkan music a bit? Maybe this was the logic here... still an EDM track though, a pretty popular in its time, but more of a balkan music electronic mix, definitely nothing in common with Poland or disco polo.
Bo sami mówią językiem słowiańskim, który pod wieloma względami jest bardzo podobny do polskiego? Trudność języka nie jest obiektywna, jego trudność wynika z pokrewieństwa między językami.
Huge props to you for even trying to learn Polish. It’s so so hard. I’m Polish and it’s hard for me. Love your videos ❤

Butelka is from French bouteille, from which is also English bottle. Skarpetka is based on Italian scarpetta 'small shoe'. Great job, Sarah! Greg
loanwords between indoeuropean languages are epic
Thanks for watching!!
Greetings from Poland ❤
thanks for watching!
Fun fact: English word "spruce" comes from polish "z Prus" which means 'from Prussia'
I didn't know that! How interesting!
Why are u lying tho?

- Where are we?
- In Łódź.
- I know that, but where are we sailing to?
4:36 Actually, the lake that you see here is Czarny Staw Gąsienicowy. It's also in Tatra Mountains but it's not Morskie Oko ;)
Lol!!! The one about the croissant in a tree 😂😂 more Polish memes please!

great vdeo I would like to see you making a video trying to speak polish :)
I have a few on my channel already!
Łóddź is called "łódź" because of lots of rivers, that are now underground. So there are bodies of water in Łódź
Hahahahahaha :D co ty k... miałczysz :D Hahahahahaha :D
Actually calling for a police or on a emergency number without specific issue is a crime in poland and you can be fined 1500zl or arrested for that
Not if you actually belived something bad was happening. Prank call are.
Happy New Year 2023🙂
happy new year!
Najśmieszniejsze jest to, że przez Łódź nawet nie przepływa żadna rzeka. Nie ma tam nic związanego z wodą.
Zaraz, to jak to jest że wszyscy łodzianie nie umarli w takim razie z odwodnienia? Piją sok z kaktusa, czy też są po prostu krwiopijcami? 0_o

I think a better translation would be 'have a glass [of vodka] and [go] up the scaffolding'.
There is a meme of slavic countries getting together and comparing how you say a word for "tea" in each language and then poland says theirs.....
hahaha love that!
Pozdrowienia z Łodzi ;-)

Yes I'm from Boat that funny sometimes
I don't think that you can master Polish language as an adult.
It's certainly more difficult than other languages! However, I think it's always possible to learn new things, no matter your age.
😂😂😂🇵🇱🇵🇱
