Kwiaty polne - field flowers

Kwiaty polne or polne kwiaty? There are a few rules concering adjectives in Polish language.

I. Adjective must always match (by gender, grammatical number and grammatical case) the noun it describes.

Kwiat polny - (one) field flower

Kwiat (flower) - singular, masculine, Nominative

polny ( adj., field) - singular, masculine, Nominative

Nie ma tu żadnych kwiatów polnych (plural, genitive) - there are no field flowers here.

II. Thanks to declension, we can shuffle words in a sentence quite freely, because the endings tell you what is each word's function.

So we can make Yoda-like sentences, but of course you would rather find them in poetry than in everyday life.

Różowy (pink) miałem w ręku kwiat (flower) - I had a pink flower in my hand.

The usual patern however is adjective + noun. The most common phrasing of the sentence above would be "Miałem w ręce różowy kwiat".

So why kwiaty polne (noun+adjective) and not polne kwiaty (adjective + nound). Well, both versions are quite ok and common, but the meaning is slightly different.

III. Noun + adjective pattern is used to talk about proper names or scientific / quasi - scientific names of species, minerals, products etc, while adjective+noun pattern is used to describe the individual characteristics of the object.

With "kwiaty polne and polne kwiaty" the difference is very subtle, but let's see another examples

przyprawa meksykańsa - mexican seasoning - that sounds like a product name, a seasoning made according to special recipe

meksykańska przyprawa - any mexican seasonig that comes from Mexico,

królik biały - white rabbit - a rabbit beloning to a race called "white rabbit"

biały królik - you simply describe that this particular rabbit is white, it might be some kind of wild rabbit of undefine race

Why is polish so difficult to learn? ☹️

[dabididubidi]

Oh yeah, I completely get it, the best/worst part is that it's kinda natural, as in when you hear it, you know which one of them is fine, like let's take "kurwa" for example

This is the moment when I realised I missread what you said, but I'm too deep now, im exited to talk about the polish language, so yeah :)

Kurwa - we already explained,

Za-kurw-ić - means to hit someone, and changes both prefix and suffix, and that's gonna be a theme with that word

Po-kurw-ić, wy-kurw-ić, and so on.

The only example that come to my mind right now, that doesn't use prefix is kurwić (się), which means whore oneself out

So to come back to the original post, I see 3 options for you

1. You can just ignore it, and use the basic version of each word

2. Google stuff

3. I recommend myself as a translator ❤

So, the beauty of Polish language is that you have relatively small amount of curse words, but you add prefixes, and suffixes to make new ones. My favourite (and more unique) is gówniaki - directly translates to "shitlings" and is an insult towards small children.

Apart from that most common are

Kurwa - Polish coma, directly translates as both fuck, and whore

Jebać - to fuck (as an action)

Pojebać (or pojebało [about someone]) - either mistake something for something else, or to be out of one's mind (specifically for the second one)

Dojebał - to overdo something, or say something stupid

Pizda - cunt, but Piździ - means that it's very cold

Chuj/chujowy/ochujeć - dick/cheap item, bad quality/loose one's mind out of anger

That's all that comes to my mind for now, I can send more if you need XD

The prefix and suffix thing makes it a bit difficult to use for me ngl

day two of clawing my way out of artblock

tried something a little more ambitious today: i've been thinking of how i can bring my digital art style into my traditional art. so i tried experimenting by drawing chef Moon from my Have You Eaten? AU with markers and colour pencils (because honestly, it's the lineless details in their design that make them harder to draw traditionally, which is why i lined them all with a fineliner in their original drawing, which is fine, but it's a different feel from lineless version of my digital art, so i wanted to see if i can accomplish it)

i was tempted to just leave today's practice at that, but then i decided to note down my thoughts:

(definitely recommend marking up your drawings/studies, or write your notes elsewhere.)

overall i felt kinda dissatisfied with the experiment and marking it up with my thoughts helped pinpoint the problem areas and what i should try for the next time. so i took all that and tried again:

(i also decided last minute to try something with the lineart, adding darker areas by adding a few dots of a darker blue and blending it out. dunno if i'll do that all the time, but it's pretty)

but i'm glad i kept going after the initial experiment. i'm pretty happy with the final one (maybe i'll try Sun and Eclipse in the coming days. you have been thoroughly warned.)
