The whole thing happened in Lodz. There was a big affair here about this video.
Those bastards came up to this guy and wanted a cig or something. The one who kicked him falled on the ground and injured his hand, so he beat the poor guy again. The girl who was with the attacked dude was telling those pricks to off, they told her to shut up. About 0:57 they decided that he should be beated more because it his fault that that the attacker hurt his hand. The dude didn't want to fight him, he said he got enough. After he got some more in the head the attacker asked if the dude had a mobile, which he replied he didn't. They said to him that he got kicks because the attacker hurt himself and for something he did to another girl, whom he should not do anything to later. |

Yeah, how can you mix Polish and Russian!? It's as stupid as mixing Portuguese and Spanish, Mandarin and Cantonese, Hindi and bengali, Japanese and Korean... :p
What makes you think Polish is such a famous language worldwide? All right, it's the 26th most spoken language in the world but people can not be experts in identifying languages they usually don't hear ;) Sincerely, unless I see it written, I cannot tell you the difference between Polish, Czech and Croatian, for that matter :) |

Yeah all those languages remind me of a ed up version of russian for some reason :P - I imagine its the same with Russian to native czech/Macedonian/Serb/Croat/Polish/Ukrainian speakers. People always crap on about how similar they are, but I can hardly pick out a word of spoken Polish. The Yugoslavian tongues are easier for me - I can understand a bit of the spoken stuff, but when its written I can pretty much get the gist.
Romanian and Hungarian are completely different tho (especially Hungarian - that's like an alien language lol).
You seem very knowledgable in this field Delay.. are you a linguist? |

yeah, it's easy 4 me to say that when i live next to poland and russia, but the languages are completely different. i mean spoken, cuz only a total moron would mix written polish with russian.
astro>no way i would believe that delay llama is linguist. i have never been a linguist, tho i know 8 languages, but i would never mix the spanish to portugese, polish to russian or mandarin to canto. |

Yeah true, I didn't think about it.. I couldn't confuse those particular examples either. But delay does seem to have very good knowledge of grammar and the structure of different languages. |

Monoxide, I don't think it would be easy for an European person not to confuse Cantonese and Mandarin because of one simple reason: tones and ideograms (sp?).
1) In order to find out the difference between both languages, you need to know that Cantonese has 6 (or 8) tones whereas Mandarin has 4. These tones are ignored in most European languages (I remember Swedish has them and Lithuanian might have them too, I'm not sure), but even in these languages which have this feature, they're not so similar to the Chinese counterpart.
2) You would need to know the set of vowels and consonants of both languages. Cantonese has a wider set of vowels, mandarin has more consonants, but unless you've studied one of these languages, it's hard for a person to know that mandarin has many retroflex consonants (try to say "sh" and "r" in English at the same time: this is the retroflex version of "sh") and Cantonese, as far as I know, don't.
3) There are Chinese languages (they're too different to be dialects!) other than these two. That's why it's tricky to say exactly what is what.
4) Cantonese has some special characters which are different from the Mandarin ones, as you can see here (Cantonese is above)...
... if you say you know all these symbols, I'm taking you do speak both languages.
Unless you study these two languages (and you know the sounds) I don't think it's easy to know the difference. The same for Portuguese and Spanish: Portuguese has many more phonemes than Spanish, and there are too many variations of these two languages (Galician, Brazilian Portuguese, American Spanish,...).

| I don't know about the technical differences in pronunciation, and until now I had no idea that there was any difference in the written languages, but I hear heaps of Chinese peeps talk at uni, and I can quickly tell whether its Mandarin or Cantonese... they just sound different to me |

Hehe, yeah, russian sounds to me like some sort of screwed up croatian. :)

Same here. I think Polish is the slavic language that deviates the most from the other ones. Even when it's written it's much harder for me to understand what they're saying when compared with russian or czech. |
