This is my reaction to 6 Mistakes to Avoid in Poland
In this video I react to Polish culture by looking at mistakes that foreigners or people going to Poland should not do.
Original Video - • 6 Mistakes to Avoid in...
Everything is correct, except maybe the clothes. Nowadays, everyone dresses the way they like and no one is surprised by it anymore. Greetings from Poland
I'm Polish, I'm 49 years old, but I've never encountered this first example. I agree with the rest. And one more thing - never sit with a hat on your head in a restaurant. This is considered very rude. Greetings.
Much of this is still clearly true. I'm not really an offensive person myself, but if a stranger, who didn't arouse my sympathy at first impression, behaves "too friendly" or "too personal" towards me, I feel very uncomfortable and will often show it.
Weather in Poland is often very tricky, so those 2 neighbours were kinda right (but I was never corrected by others than my parents or grandparents). Other thing is: the building doesn't look like rich area. And elders in Poland have a lot of financial struggles. That's why the lady could be concerned. Having to pick what to buy/pay: food, medicines or bills is no fun.
Yes, I always notice when someone is dressed inappropriately for the weather. Always 😂 I'm Polish, so it's stronger than me. In Poland, one day it is 25*C, the next it is 4* and snow. Therefore, the ability to dress properly is a seriuous matter. 😅 It's simply the survival instinct of our community.
Regarding saying "hi" - polish "cześć" which is usually translated as "hi" is not exactly the same, its much more informal and much more personal, you use it only for family, friends and maybe younger people or people of your age in some cases. You definitely do not use it in any type of professional contact, even with grocery store cashier. Its more like saying "yo whats up dude" then just "hi" or "hello".
id like to agree to disagree,czesc literally means hi,it doesnt mean yo whats up dude
@@AsterixBones Yes, but that is the whole point of my comment - we cannot depend on literal translations, because cultural context is different and effectively some words can have different meaning. So even if "cześć" literally means "glory" and "hi/hello" also comes from germanic "heil" which means "glory" we cannot say they are equal. In a context of greeting "cześć" is closer to informal/colloquial "yo dude" then to generic and versatile "hello".
Hello to all viewers and channel owner. I wanted to comment on a few issues raised in this video. In the first case, regarding proper dressing, this may concern some older people, but such comments enter the privacy zone, so it is impolite to draw attention to clothes, especially to an adult. The second thing is that calling "Mr., Mrs." when talking to an unknown person is a sign of respect, saying "You" to a stranger shows contempt and lack of respect, an academic title has nothing to do with it and only a few people say their academic title when introducing themselves. 80% have higher education, so this is nothing to brag about. Hands in pockets and chewing gum are also disrespectful, hands in pockets rather than chewing gum. Chewing gum is unacceptable at school or work, not on the street. That's it from my perspective. Best regards and I would like to add that I like this channel very much.
Another thing in Poland is that when we see a person during the day on many occasions we don't say every time hi or hello to that person 😂 .You say hi , good day only once. in a day 😂
Yeah, even in internet area you can notice sometimes in comments phrase like: "Nie jesteśmy na Ty" (what means: You can't call me my first name)
It is simmilar in Czech and Germany. Maybe even more strict in those countries, as in Polsnd many ppl don't obey these rules since '90.
There are a number of places where, until you are 'officially' seen as a friend, you address people in the formal way. It's a lot like that in a number of places in the US where Mam and Sir are used predominantly.
The number one - don't take this too seriously. Never happened to me and never heard of anything like this happening to anyone else.

Everything is fine except for the clothes. Interestingly, although this is already disappearing in the younger generation - in Poland, it is the woman who shakes her hand first when greeting someone. We have the choice of who we want to shake hands with and who not ;)
The first piece of advice may have been accurate, but the neighbor's behavior was strange. As a Pole, I would be worried that someone wearing sandals would catch a cold. I wouldn't worry about infecting anyone. So this is not a normal situation, rather it depends on a person's empathy.
I think he encountered some mentally unstable person in the first story cause no one cares what you're wearing unless you go around naked... it was bizarre! Sure ,some people gonna be concerned if you wear too little when it's freezing cold but no one is going to make a big deal out of it ..wtf ,doesn't make any sense, his neighbour was mental
Yeah. I've never met or heard about anyone behaving like that, saying that someone not dressed properly may infect the whole block of flats. So meeting such a strange one person shouldn't result in any generalizations about Polish people.
I encountered whole lots of comments when going to shop in t-shirt in Winter. Mainly as a joke, but they might be checking if everything is fine with me.
I often walk inappropriately dressed for the weather and I have never experienced anything like this in Poland
"Dumka na dwa serca" z "ogniem i Mieczem"- song ;)
Much of this is still clearly true.
OMG there's always some babcia (granny) to tell you that you're dressed inappropriately and you'll catch your death xD Love them tho
Well this profesor thing work only if this is someone who is directly above you. For example you goin to university so you should know the difference between Mister Janitor, and Profesor whatever. But he would say anything being refered as mister by some random... cashier in a liquor store.
The first part is really ridiculous: I regularly see people dressed on a wide spectrum (e.g. when it's almost 20C outside I see anything from T-shirts and shorts to even winter coats and hats) and it's been well over three decades that I live and I never encountered situation like the one the guy described. He just had a weird neighbour, it's not a thing.
Westerners are surprised by the rules of personal culture. This, in turn, is shocking to me.
No tak, bo polskie zasady muszą być narzucone od razu całemu światu, który musi się temu podporządkować...
This first example is kind of nonsense. 30-40 years ago, people dressed much more according to the weather and opportunities (currently there is more freedom in this respect, but there was no enslavement in the past, too). Anyway, also in the past no one ever came to the neighbor to shout at him, because he dressed inadequately and went outside to the too car :) This neighbor was an absolute crazy. In addition, adult people rarely admonish other adult people in Poland. Such behavior is considered to be an exceptionally rude. A very serious situation would have to happen so that someone would behave like that. Only an authorized state clerk can do this to an adult citizen if he is incorrect (e.g. a policeman).
A wiesz, że wiele zasad polskiej grzeczności jest przyjętych z GB? Ta hierarchia we właściwym powitaniu i zwracaniu się do drugiej osoby w zależności od okoliczności, starszeństwa, płci, hierarchii społecznej. To jest bardzo charakterystyczne dla starej Anglii. Ta urawniłowka przyszła do Polski z USA bo to jest bardziej egalitarne społeczeństwo ze względu na swoją historię. Państwo założone przez kilku bogatych Brytyjczyków, a reszta to gołodupcy zewsząd.
So true . Even after a decade livin in IE i have that respect for elders and i say hello Sir ,Lady . . But another thing is saying Hello to a bus driver . . And another is how i recognize polish in Ireland? . Thay not say Hi hello to anybody who when u have eye contact . Im laugjin but so true sey hi and he llok at you likea stranger ))
i was born in poland and i still make 5 out of 6 of these mistakes 💀💀
W Polsce obowiązuję etykieta rodem z początku XX wieku
I bardzo dobrze.
This is very accurate
if someone is older and your'e pretty damn close to him then it's ok, also being too personal depends realy on the person.
2:38 I'm "a little bigger"😁(181 centimeters and 123 kilograms of weight), so I wear a T-shirt when it's 18 degrees Celsius and just sweatshirt when it's 15 degrees Celsius.Older people who are cold wear warm clothes. (I am 43) You can distinguish our guests from the East by the fact that they dress warmer than Poles 🇵🇱. P S. It's nothing bad, just a difference. I hope no one understood me in the wrong sense of the word.
🇵🇱👍
Those rules maybe apply to old ppl here. Young have other priorities
The dress according to weather (like an onion - mamy layers so you can adjust) she was more worried about her young neighbor, who didn't have a wife or mom who could take care of him properly. Not that he would get others sick.
And yeah, we love our personal space and family matters, true about not speaking per you yo other adults
Obejrzyj serial "Ranczo" ;-)
Hands in the pocket are acceptable if it's very cold 😛
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
❤❤❤
Keeping hands in the pockets - we have the following sdvice in Poland:, Nie trzymaj rąk w kieszeni bo ci ch*j paznokcie poobgryza!. 😂
konstruktywnie i na temat ale !I don't like it because I feel old, my scientific title is Master of Science in Engineering, I don't want to be called because of my education, I just have a name and my scientific title is an addition.
ALL of it is true.
