    Damn I thought pineapple was a recent introduction to Poland. Apparently sweets are so rare I need to make a trip east.

      I think they meant the conjugations, like “cebula, cebuli, cebulą, cebulę, cebulami” etc…

      But the part about no word for job is just plain stupid, cause we also have: praca, zatrudnienie, robota, harówa, zapierdol… That’s already five.

    Polish: *gives species a name that identifies it without ambiguity*
    English: berry.

        Same thing with nuts and melons.

        This is so common that I wonder if it’s the scientists that are wrong. They used the word to describe something different than what’s usually called a berry.

            As I see it, English has the word fruit twice.

            Once as a sweet fruit.

            And once as anything that is produced to hold the seeds. Hazelnut is the fruit of the hazelnut tree. Mushroom is the fruit of the mycelium. Pinecone is the fruit of the pine.

            Also fruits of your labour somewhere.

          Science applied technical definitions to these terms centuries after they were already in common usage

          I think it’s probably because the culinary terms are feel based, while the scientific terms are more rigorously defined, and thus ends up describing different things, because nothing properly fits for the culinary feels-based definitions

      English: “Its so nice and sweet, lets call its strawberry”

      Everyone else: “umm because its a berry right?? It is a berry right?”

      The genus name Fragaria derives from fragum (“strawberry”) and -aria, a suffix used to create feminine nouns and plant names. The Latin name is thought in turn to derive from a Proto-Indo-European language root meaning “berry”, either *dʰreh₂ǵ- or *sróh₂gs.[4] The genus name is sometimes mistakenly derived from fragro (“to be fragrant, to reek”).

      Just one example of how this predates English by millennia

      Good luck - I get the sense that ‘kurwa’ has lots of meanings, but what native speakers mostly use for is: ‘give me a minute, I need to figure out how to conjugate the rest of this sentence’.

      Why? No reason to do it. The country is shit and the language is difficult. We have like 30 ways to say “two”.

    Funny thing is we have one for onion (cebula) and a couple for job (praca - formal, robota - more derogatory, something you do without pleasure). I know Greek also has that distinction with εργασία and δουλεία. Where in both cases the derogatory form is more popular in common speech.

      In hungarian you can say “dolgozik” which means to work and “robotol” which means to do some really repetitive work(comes from feudalism if im right). Depending on how you classify things we can have a few other forms of work like “munkálkodik” but i would classify that as another kind of thing. As for nouns we mainly have “munka”(work) and “foglalkozás”(job).

      Yo, some extra info: δουλεία is slavery, while δουλειά is the job in common speech. You can clearly see that δουλειά derives from δουλεία and I think that’s because in ancient Greece jobs was a thing slaves were supposed to do (probably if you were wealthy enough to have slaves). I think doing jobs wasn’t considered very noble.
