Well actually "kurwa" doesn't mean "fuck" but "whore". But I understand that this confusion is made by translators that want to make accurate translation in other language
@@Mr_X_72060:13 "Ni chuja!" - It's hard to translate. It's like you're swearing that something doesn't happen. Before that phrase you can hear "Takiego!" - this is the same meaning but it's shortened slang phrase - it should be "Takiego wała/chuja" - in general, "Ni chuja" is literally "not even a dick" or something, it sometines means "nothing" but in cursing version. "Takiego (chuja)" means literally "this one dick"... General he's telling them to go fuck themselves.
@@Mr_X_7206He also said "chędożyć" few times with different forms (in Polish every word have got declination) - it means fucking and it's almost used only in the witcher games lol. It's very old word. Don't afraid to as me for more cursed knowledge about my language xD
Russian language of course due same grammar and meaning. Probably translation is better due ideas of translators, which extend original humor. This is very interesting, but a lot of slavic languages have very same grammar, so speak on another language is just: 1) change some words from mother-language to another language(second group of slavic language) and 2) do not forget that some common words have another meaning. 2), for example, polish dworez means railway station, on russian palace, polish khalupa means house, or russian very poor and bad house, polish uroda means beautiful girl, on russian ugly girl, ukrainians call house izba as khata, but on russian language khata is only clay south house or home on jargon, izba is log house, but with architectural terminology only one room of log house. 1) for example: the verb. see on russian videt', on polish widzieć/zobaczyć, on ukrainian bachyty, on belarussian bachyc', on serbian and latin(!) vidi, so you can build 2 groups/variants: vidi and bachi.

You are all so hung up on it wanting to prove you can do it better than the original creators and I'm like "You are both foreign languages to me so why should I bother with a copy if I can get the original?"
Playing Witcher with Polish audio and English subtitles has the exact same vibe as watching anime in Japanese with subs and I'm here for it. Oftentimes the original version of any work of fiction has a lot of additional nuance and detail worked out over the time of development that makes it special and which is rarely reproduced in dubbing. Plus it lets you get acquainted with the sound of another language, which is neat.
as a Polish person i can confirm this is almost an every day situation you can see on your way to work/school. Its just a form of expressing feelings towards the other person
When a person trips or cuts himself, he cries out, 'Oh kurwa!' This wonderful, concise word expresses so many feelings, ranging from nervousness, anger, disappointment, through surprise, fascination, and ending with joy and satisfaction. Ku*wa can also act as a punctuator, i.e. a regular comma. Let's imagine how poor the dictionary of an average Pole would be without a simple ''Kurwa''. We are walking along the street, we suddenly trip and say to ourselves: "I am very irritated by the unevenness of the sidewalk, which suddenly exposes me to a fall. It makes me think bad things about the city authorities." All these and much richer contents and emotions are expressed by a simple "Oh ku*wa!", which sums up the matter. If Poles were banned from ku*wa, some of them would stop talking altogether, because they would not be able to express their feelings differently. The whole of Poland would start communicating with signs and gestures. This would lead to misunderstandings and unnecessary tensions in the Polish nation.
I'm Russian, my language has fairly different pronunciation compared to more Western Slavic ones. Everything I hear in Polish just sounds so exaggerated and funny, yet neighbourly. It's a beautiful language Edit: I am convinced that if a functional panslavic language is to be made, it will rest on the shoulders of three giants - Kurwa, Blyat and Hui
I am from Poland and never heard Pole saying Bliać or anything close that is not used as a Russian word they way someone in US or Germany can say it(of course unless they are immigrants from east)

0:49 The "always bow, ask after your health" (zawsze się skłoniły, o zdrowie spytały) is probably a reference that sometimes if a regular person kills somebody, their neighbours are shocked to tell the news that "he was such a good boy, so nice, always said good morning...". It's kind of a meme. Edit: multiple language errors, losing the heart because of that :(
Polish actors are really talented and incredible. It's just they're underrated because they can't be as popular as in Hollywood. This game you need to play in polish dub. This Geralt sounds like he should! Jacek Rozenek truly nailed his role in every line. Edit: thanks for correcting me below.
If you actually spoke Polish, you'd know how unnatural this dub really is. If you want good Polish voiceacting, watch a dubbed cartoon - there's the true passion.
@@Halo_Legendnieprawda, aktor głosowy Geralta świetnie poradził sobie z rolą bez uczuciowego wiedźmina, dzieci mają świetny rozemocjonowany głos, a Yennefer brzmi jak chłodna suka tak jak ją Sapkowski opisywał, dumny jestem z CD projekty za dobranie tak dobrych aktorów
I really like this modded look for Geralt, seems way more book accurate, because he was called ugly and scarred often in the books, yet still kind of handsome, which this mod achieves pretty well
Polish logic (always works): If you mention word 'Polish', we will inevitably spawn. If you mention witcher we will also spawn. We have witcher sense. If you have 'The Witcher' and 'Polish' in the same sentence 90% of comments will be from Poles.
This is the only game I play with polish dubbing. Maybe it's not natural but it has its charm. Usually polish dubbing (unfortunately) is very theatrical which disconnects dialogue and the character. Eventually it sounds like the actor recorded his/her lines on the toilet in the middle of the night ;) Witcher 3 is an exception. I listened a bit of english dubbing on YT and omg it sounds so cringe it's crazy. Voice of the Witcher is completely mismatched. That actor tried too hard.
I also plan to play with a fan's Ukrainian translation, which uses archaic and related words to Polish. the author recommends playing with the Polish voice acting, ensuring that it will be as harmonious as possible
@@scz5996after Netflix S2 Ep1 I started to appreciate it and I concluded that I was way too harsh for our Polish version... It's mainly 'cause of that god damn dragon xD
I listened to all the scene waiting for "the special moment to hear" just to realise it was just at the begining, what I didn't realise bc it was such a typical Polish guy language reaction for strong emotions 😂
The priest is hammering nails and little Johnny has been watching him for several hours. - Johnny, you will probably become a carpenter - says the priest. - No, fuck. I just want to see what the priest says when he fucks himself up. Ksiądz wbija gwoździe a mały Jaś, przygląda mu się od kilku godzin. - Jasiu, ty pewnie stolarzem zostaniesz - mówi ksiądz. - Nie, kurwa. Chcę tylko zobaczyć, co mówi ksiądz, jak się w palec zapierdoli.
Swearing in English doesn't pack nearly the same punch as swearing in Polish. All the hard "R"s and "D"s really lets you pack a lot of angry energy into your curses.
As a Ukrainian, I've never heard anything voiced so beautifully in polish language until now. Especially the protagonist sounds like a calm dad yet a chad at the same time. And cursing is just as brutal and hillarious. Greetings to you, my brothers. KURRRRRRRRRRRRRWA!!! XD
So you play the way it should be played. I listened to other dubbed versions and the English one is the worst. The best, of course, were the Polish and Japanese versions.
Ive played with English and Polish dubs, I do think polish ones are better (especially the npcs convos, they are hilarious), however english dub also has its perks. Every nation/race etc in english sub has different accent. Unfortunately polish dub is all with the same accent (mainly cuz there arent many polish accents or they are not as distinguished). Either way, both are worth playing.
Indeed, Polish never had that many distinct accents. The ones I can remember is defo góralski (mountain accent) and western Polish accent, but all in all, compared to English, our language is very poor in local accents.
@@penultimania4295 not entirely, it's just isn't that distinguished. Most of Poland uses what I would call standard Polish accent, because it is taught and demanded at school, but for example the eastern accent is quite distinctive. Also, phonetical varieties exist, although they are not as common as in the UK. Additionally, people prefer to lose their regional accent and switch to standard one to not sound like a villager.
@@marikothecheetah9342 No, it's not distinctive, I have met and worked with people from all over the country and I could never tell where they were from just from their accent. Nothing is 'taught and demanded' at school, literally no one corrects your accent at school and there are no 'accent' lessons, where did you get that bs from lol? If someone is from the countryside or uneducated they might at best try to speak 'proper', enunciate better, not change their bloody accent, I suggest you look up what 'accent' actually means before you talk nonsense again.
As a Polish person it warms my heart that people see how good polish dubbing in Witcher 3 is. It's in my opinion the best dubbing of my launguage in all games of all time. CD Project Red have defects, but polish dub and story telling they're doing one of the best, if not the best in the world
Ukrainian language is so absolute that it has a lot of old russian words, that is why if you hear their mova, you can not to not smile, because they are talking like medieval rednecks on jargon, changing g on h, i on y, or o on i, this generates very funny words: logic became lohica (loh(лох) means looser, so logic is science to decieve people), cat became kit(like whale), cat female with suffix -ka became kishka, that means gut, the money they call hroshi, this means very cheap money, instead of grivny they say hrivny(hrü, hrü, what say pigs, as they are called by russians), I think, that is why in DLC Hears of stone Olgerd's band(zaporozhian kosaks) are called wild boars like military pigs, I guess, that this was trolling.
As someone trying to learn Japanese, it can be a real challenge to follow the dialogue in the samurai period dramas. The authentic Japanese of the era in which the story is set is often used, much to the confusion and dismay of us hapless students!
@@toolittletoolate3917 I guess that samurai speaks on another non-folk dialect. This problem was in Europe, church uses latin, church-slavic language, and roman months, the folk uses language with accent on farm-period, for example, months in polish,ukrainian. Ukrainian is still rednecks language, for example, a lot of words from it are hearing very ridiculous and primitive, for example, sluhalka(hearer) is phone, too late: zapizdalsya (pizda means cu nt), logic: lohic, loh means loo ser. Also it has more simple grammar and is purer. Also ritters had another gods: odin, thor, perun, mars, ares, zevs -- gods of thunder, the villagers have land-mother gods or later another holy persons in Christianity.

The music an the overal mood of the towns and villages in wither are overwhelmingly good. For the record, I'm a Polish guy who lives in a small town, near a forest ;)
Polish dubbing is supirior in almost every movie/game. You can take a bad game or move, give it a Polish dubbing. And it almost becomes insta pop-culture in Poland. Like rayman 3, the game isn't that good but the Polish dubbing turned it into one of the most popular games in 2000s Poland.
I once tried to translate a pasta from polish to English. There were 10 different swear words but most of them translated to f*ck. English language is very poor...
I can hear that the dwarf is dubbed by Aleksander Wysocki. He did a great job in diablo 2 dubbing where he dubbed Warriv, barbarian and some other minor characters :)

I cant stand english Geralt too.
I had exactly the same feelings, how Geralt in English sounds - like wannabe Batman.
Playing Witcher with Polish audio and English subtitles has the exact same vibe as watching anime in Japanese with subs and I'm here for it.
Oftentimes the original version of any work of fiction has a lot of additional nuance and detail worked out over the time of development that makes it special and which is rarely reproduced in dubbing. Plus it lets you get acquainted with the sound of another language, which is neat.

These rolling R’s are often used by old people to emphasize „kurrrwa”. It means you’re much more angry, too angry to use the regular „kurwa”.

as a Polish person i can confirm this is almost an every day situation you can see on your way to work/school. Its just a form of expressing feelings towards the other person
I was confused what was so special about this scene until I read the comments. This entire thing sounds so natural.
When a person trips or cuts himself, he cries out, 'Oh kurwa!' This wonderful, concise word expresses so many feelings, ranging from nervousness, anger, disappointment, through surprise, fascination, and ending with joy and satisfaction.
Ku*wa can also act as a punctuator, i.e. a regular comma.
Let's imagine how poor the dictionary of an average Pole would be without a simple ''Kurwa''. We are walking along the street, we suddenly trip and say to ourselves: "I am very irritated by the unevenness of the sidewalk, which suddenly exposes me to a fall. It makes me think bad things about the city authorities." All these and much richer contents and emotions are expressed by a simple "Oh ku*wa!", which sums up the matter.
If Poles were banned from ku*wa, some of them would stop talking altogether, because they would not be able to express their feelings differently. The whole of Poland would start communicating with signs and gestures. This would lead to misunderstandings and unnecessary tensions in the Polish nation.
I'm a Pole, trust me on this.

I'm Russian, my language has fairly different pronunciation compared to more Western Slavic ones. Everything I hear in Polish just sounds so exaggerated and funny, yet neighbourly. It's a beautiful language
Edit: I am convinced that if a functional panslavic language is to be made, it will rest on the shoulders of three giants - Kurwa, Blyat and Hui
The Pan-Slavic language was created 10 years ago and it functions.
And in Russia they say kurva sametimes, and in Poland they say blyad'.
I am from Poland and never heard Pole saying Bliać or anything close that is not used as a Russian word they way someone in US or Germany can say it(of course unless they are immigrants from east)

The English translation is dramatically limited. There aren't many words there. Including swear ones.

If you mention witcher we will also spawn. We have witcher sense.

This is the only game I play with polish dubbing. Maybe it's not natural but it has its charm.
Usually polish dubbing (unfortunately) is very theatrical which disconnects dialogue and the character. Eventually it sounds like the actor recorded his/her lines on the toilet in the middle of the night ;) Witcher 3 is an exception.
I listened a bit of english dubbing on YT and omg it sounds so cringe it's crazy. Voice of the Witcher is completely mismatched. That actor tried too hard.
There's something beautifuly undtranslatable in polish, especially when the game was designed with this language in mind
Russian dubbing is also good, "KAK EBANET, TAK V NOVIGRADE BUDET OGNI VIDAT"
Hahaha, I love how curses and sentences containing curses are mutually intelligible like that
Disgusting

Swearing in English doesn't pack nearly the same punch as swearing in Polish. All the hard "R"s and "D"s really lets you pack a lot of angry energy into your curses.
You know, it's so... frustrating, when I see Polish colourful curse words translated to just one F-word ;)
It just feels wrong to play any Witcher game in english. And yes, Jacek Rozenek is the best voice of Geralt.
As a Ukrainian, I've never heard anything voiced so beautifully in polish language until now. Especially the protagonist sounds like a calm dad yet a chad at the same time. And cursing is just as brutal and hillarious. Greetings to you, my brothers. KURRRRRRRRRRRRRWA!!! XD
I play through every game with original language dialogues. The only thing I change is the subtitle language
Love my native language ... especially when trying to convey my anger
I was wondering how long was it until someone said "kurwa" in Polish VA. Apparently just 7 seconds. I'm not disappointed.

So you play the way it should be played. I listened to other dubbed versions and the English one is the worst. The best, of course, were the Polish and Japanese versions.

I feel so so sorry for all you who don't speak Polish... This game, as well as the audio series (sluchowisko) are top notch!

Ive played with English and Polish dubs, I do think polish ones are better (especially the npcs convos, they are hilarious), however english dub also has its perks. Every nation/race etc in english sub has different accent. Unfortunately polish dub is all with the same accent (mainly cuz there arent many polish accents or they are not as distinguished). Either way, both are worth playing.
Indeed, Polish never had that many distinct accents. The ones I can remember is defo góralski (mountain accent) and western Polish accent, but all in all, compared to English, our language is very poor in local accents.
It's because we all have the same accent.
@@penultimania4295 not entirely, it's just isn't that distinguished. Most of Poland uses what I would call standard Polish accent, because it is taught and demanded at school, but for example the eastern accent is quite distinctive. Also, phonetical varieties exist, although they are not as common as in the UK. Additionally, people prefer to lose their regional accent and switch to standard one to not sound like a villager.
@@marikothecheetah9342 No, it's not distinctive, I have met and worked with people from all over the country and I could never tell where they were from just from their accent. Nothing is 'taught and demanded' at school, literally no one corrects your accent at school and there are no 'accent' lessons, where did you get that bs from lol? If someone is from the countryside or uneducated they might at best try to speak 'proper', enunciate better, not change their bloody accent, I suggest you look up what 'accent' actually means before you talk nonsense again.

Playing The Witcher with Polish dubbing is like playing Sekiro with Japanese dubbing, which makes for a better immersion

As a Polish person it warms my heart that people see how good polish dubbing in Witcher 3 is. It's in my opinion the best dubbing of my launguage in all games of all time. CD Project Red have defects, but polish dub and story telling they're doing one of the best, if not the best in the world
It is worth noting that colloquial Polish is not used here, but old/ancient Polish words, which additionally adds flavor to this scene.
Co ty pierdolisz
Ukrainian language is so absolute that it has a lot of old russian words, that is why if you hear their mova, you can not to not smile, because they are talking like medieval rednecks on jargon, changing g on h, i on y, or o on i, this generates very funny words: logic became lohica (loh(лох) means looser, so logic is science to decieve people), cat became kit(like whale), cat female with suffix -ka became kishka, that means gut, the money they call hroshi, this means very cheap money, instead of grivny they say hrivny(hrü, hrü, what say pigs, as they are called by russians), I think, that is why in DLC Hears of stone Olgerd's band(zaporozhian kosaks) are called wild boars like military pigs, I guess, that this was trolling.
As someone trying to learn Japanese, it can be a real challenge to follow the dialogue in the samurai period dramas. The authentic Japanese of the era in which the story is set is often used, much to the confusion and dismay of us hapless students!
@@toolittletoolate3917 I guess that samurai speaks on another non-folk dialect. This problem was in Europe, church uses latin, church-slavic language, and roman months, the folk uses language with accent on farm-period, for example, months in polish,ukrainian. Ukrainian is still rednecks language, for example, a lot of words from it are hearing very ridiculous and primitive, for example, sluhalka(hearer) is phone, too late: zapizdalsya (pizda means cu nt), logic: lohic, loh means loo ser. Also it has more simple grammar and is purer. Also ritters had another gods: odin, thor, perun, mars, ares, zevs -- gods of thunder, the villagers have land-mother gods or later another holy persons in Christianity.
