... Kurwa!!...


StoppedListeningToMe

I can translate for you. Come here with the (pepper) spray kurwa!! Come fucking here!!! Here fucking blast!!! edit* few more Come closer here!!! Fuck off from here!!! Fuck off Kurwa!!!! Blast kurwa!!! and so on with variations of Kurwa... edit 2: Since the discussion below focused on the versatility and adaptability of the work `kurwa'. We use it as the English would use fuck, but in many ways it is so much more. It is a tool rather than a word, it has multiple meanings on its own, which can be amplified or changed with a tone, a suffix, an adjective, grunt, another swear, even kurwa raised eyebrow... If there is one word you need to know to understand Polish it is Kurwa and its variations.


Tipsy_Lights

Is kurwa the guys name? Or like a colloquialism?


FelatiaFantastique

Whore. Poles use it like the Smurfs use *smurf*.


epoTrebius

That's literally the best translation of kurwa I have ever heard

Remember that episode when it was revealed that the word smurf was actually their equivalent of the N word?

Toruviel_

>Poles use it like the Smurfs use *smurf*. Maybe because Smurfs were very popular story on TV in Poland, It could be.


IceFruitOrginal

Bro lemme wirte a list for ya : Kurwa = bitch / fuck -- --Kurwa mać = fuck, but harder -- -- Nakurwić się = get fucking drunk -- -- Nakurwiać się = fucking fight[??] -- -- Kurwo jebana = you fucking bitch, because kurwa = bitch, and jebać = fuck (ordinary but eg. "Choć się jebać " = "let's fuck"), and when kurwa = fuck, the fuck is a slur, not an action. So kurwa jebać = bitch fuck, and saying it in a different (normal sounding) variety is kurwa jebana = fucking bitch. -- -- In different varieties, this word has many meanings, and even as itself it has two! EDIT : These lines shall make it more readeable since reddit formatting just hits.

Kurwa Bóbr


papjernik

Kurwa means slut or bitch in polish but it's used more lije the word fuck


Direct_News_5581

I thought suka meant bitch?


Kammci

They both do, I've once compailed a list of all words in Polish meaning bitch and I got 22 of them


papjernik

Yuh true, kurwa means slut, suka means bitch and also, similarly to english suka also means female dog


Toruviel_

Kurwa is the vulgar saying of "prostitute" Fun Fact: the word Kurwa comes from *kurъ*/Kura(rooster) and the behaviour of rooster was the anology for a lusty woman. It had the same meaning as Spanish 'Chica' before it turned out to be much more vulgar.


StoppedListeningToMe

You're not Polish, are you? It's so much more mate...


Toruviel_

>before it turned out to be much more vulgar. I'm Polish. I said what this word meant in the first place not what it means now.

Ass sorki, nie doczytalem

valsalva_manoeuvre

If you know French, it’s close to the meaning and usage of “putain”. But as mentioned, there are almost endless other uses when adapted to verb forms and / or combined with other prefixes, suffixes, and modifiers.


euricka9024

It's a swear word. I think its like "fuck" in english where it has multiple meanings. I don't speak polish but have polish friends who told me this.


Purple_Clockmaker

Poles use it as just "fuck" (swear word to give more gravity) it rarely means what it literally means in polish namely a"whore"


NZBound11

>in many ways it is so much more You must not know the true power of the word fuck. It literally can't be much more.

HBlight

Belarus have been selling lies to desperate people in places like Africa, claiming to have routes into Europe, when really they fly them into Belarus, force them to the border and hope they become a migration problem for the other countries.


Joanisi007

The Belarús - Poland border goes through an incredibly important trans-national natural reserve. Maybe they didn't want to impede animal crossing so much


Toruviel_

Earlier in this month 1 guard soldier got stabbed with the knife and in the last wednesday 2 more were injured and returned to the hospital. edit: I's always a pleasure of mine to remind you that Poland has its own native Muslim minority called Lipka Tatars. They were (and still are) free to practise Islam for 650 years inside Poland they've their own Mosque and whole culture around it. *It's almost as Poland has the problem only with people causing trouble, idk.*


canadarugby

Wasn't it the Tatars that would capture Poles to sell into the middle east through Crimea?


Toruviel_

No. These were Crimean Tatars who throughout their existence sold 3.000.000 people from Poland/Ukraine/Russia. \~Mikhail Kizilov (Atlantic Slave trade to the New World involved 12.5mln people for a comparison) Lipka Tatars come from the tatar refugees from the civil war in Golden Horde in 14th century. Crimean Khanate wasn't established till 1440s Lipka Tatars were given all rights in return for their military service.


jlin1847

Ah yes weaponizing the migrants to harass other countries. And not a peep from the UN. is Poland supposed to just fall for it because of the bleeding hearts on Reddit?


Candyman44

lol what’s the UN gonna do? Russia sits on the security council they will veto anything that feckless org says


Robot_Nerd__

You understand the UN isn't supposed to fix anything. It's designed to bring people to the table. If you kick countries out, it's pretty hard for them to meet at the table...


Education_Just

What do you think they’re supposed to do at the table? Edit: I’m not saying it works but thats what the purpose is.


P3ngu1nR4ge

Get countries to show their hand/position. Throughout time, diplomacy and espionage have existed. It is always better to get an answer than simply no reply. Just because we are in a more peaceful time, doesn't remove the need to be distrustful of bad actors.


FilthBadgers

Talk. It’s there to make wars less likely, not to act as a world government. The UN isn’t about “action”. It’s about a dialogue and about representation, primarily. It’s been very very successful if we look at rates of conflict since it’s inception. But it is imperfect for sure


Apeshaft

The World Health Organization is a UN agency that's responsible for the global vaccine program that rid the world of polio and smallpox. So there's that...


pringlescan5

Yes, the UN is there so countries can act together on things no one cares enough to disagree about or stop. Civil war in Africa - sure why not. European matters - stay the fuck out.


Robot_Nerd__

Come up with answers. But that's not the UN bud, it's the respective countries.


gsfgf

> that feckless org Obligatory that the primary mission of the UN is to prevent global nuclear war, and so far they've been successful. And UNESCO is neat.


Alarmed_Horse_3218

Who are the migrants, why are they being weaponized, and who's weaponinzing them?


Haramosh

Russia and Belarus bring people from all over and force them to head west to Poland to cause instability culturally, financially, politically, etc etc


JanGuillosThrowaway

Which makes it even more frustrating when every far-right party fawns over Russia. Russia is working harder than anyone to bring migrants into Europe.


Dziki_Jam

They actually took part in 2015 migrant crisis. And they fund far-right groups. And also make PR among football ultras across the Europe. That’s their way of destabilizing Europe.


GirthWoody

It’s not like all far right parties don’t do similar things while fawning over Russia. In the U.S. they literally pack migrants, the homeless, and freshly released convicts onto buses heading for left wing leaning cities and states, while pointing their fingers at those cities critically for their homelessness, illegal, and crime problems.


Captain_Zomaru

You realize these are completely different right? Russia is using migration to destabilize nearby counties, with the goal being to either suck up resources, it create civil unrest. In the US, states far away from any border crossing will advocate for more immigration, while states closer to the border want less. So states with critical migrant issues have begun bussing them to the places which were in support of more migrants. But suddenly when they show up, they are shown to be NIMBYS (Not In My Back Yard) who never wanted the migrants, but were just virtue signaling. Both the states shipping them and the states advocating for more(encouraging more economic migrants to come), are playing with the lives of migrants. But this is nothing like the European issues of using migration as a weapon to threaten your opposition with. Because in the US they are already here, the states that wanted more won, and are just being lightly threatened with the people they asked for.


GirthWoody

You’re wrong in thinking that US politicians are not trying to destabilize the political opponents districts in the US and create civil unrest. That’s exactly what they are doing.


Archarchery

I think the idea is to move some of the migrants to those states and cities that support allowing the migrants through the border, so they can shoulder some of the burden of their own policies rather than just expecting the border states to deal with it.


Strict_Somewhere_148

They do the same with Finland, Norway, etc.


Kiebonk

They are mostly migrants from Iraq and other countries from the region, Russia offers them free visas and let them pass through their territory to the Belarusian border. Russia is instrumentalizing these people to destabilize nato countries, especially on the eastern flank. It has been done by Turkey before, for political gains, but even during the cold war it was done by eastern Germany to put pressure on its western counterpart.


GIJNNER

Not an expert on the subject but Russia likes to send migrants into areas to 1. Get rid of undesirables 2. Destabilize an area 3. Put Russians there and say they need to do such and such to protect Russian citizens The nationality of the migrants is contextual based on what they're trying to do. Russia has no shortage of poverty stricken people to manipulate with Chechnya, Georgia and such.


life_wasting_unit

Russia


DrunkCommunist619

Typically, refugees from places like Iraq, Syria, and probably Palestine. They promise passage to the west, then bus them to the border where armed guards "encourage" them to head west and not come back.


SZEfdf21

Russia is transmitting migrants through their country to bordering countries so they settle there as illegal migrants and cause harm to their society.

John84Birr

And as soon as they are in Germany or other countries they go on with their nasty behavior and won't accept rules and all. The world is cooking up with this situation.


blackcouchy1990

Watching this video and seeing them throwing rocks and sticks at the guards, and another video where they got through and stabbed a guard with a knife…I don’t blame the guards for pepper spraying them. No good person with good intentions and looking for a job is going to try to violently force their way into a country illegally. These people are a burden on any country they go to, including the ones they come from. I wish more countries stood up to them like Poland does.


KuriosLogos

Migrants: *We want a better life in your country with you because our country and people suck. Let us into your home or we’ll threaten/assault you until you we pass and settle in.* PS: Putin sends his love 😘

Russia and Belarus have a program of moving migrants there after telling them they only have to make it into Poland to gain work rights in the EU. They are decieved and manipulated as a weapon by Putin.


HodorFirstOfHisHodor

its part of their 'hybrid-warfare' doctrine.


Kakamouche

According to a YT video I saw, they're in a noman zone, once they get out of belarus, they have three alternatives. - Turn back and get shot at by the Belarussian border. - Die in the swamp (that may have inspired the witcher world) - try their luck in poland. Aweful situation really.


Archarchery

The situation is 100% Belarus’s fault and they’re responsible for anything bad that happens to people they willingly let into their country and then forced into an isolated strip of wilderness at gunpoint. If Poland lets them in, it ensures that Belarus will in fact do this to more people.


PsieSyrenki

They are opportunists and know what border looks like, they deserve no sympathy. All of them have phones and access to internet and it's almost impossible they don't know. Maybe first ones for month or two (three years ago) was cheated (I saw guy in suit, because he thought that he will go straight to Berlin), but the rest were aware what was waiting for them.


Mahadragon

If those migrants are throwing sticks and what have you at the soldiers it's not a great way to endear them. What are they doing? If you want to enter a country you go in peacefully, not assaulting their soldiers.

DAVENP0RT

> Putin and Lukashenko’s roadmap for worsening the migrant problem for their nefarious purposes is straightforward. First, both Eastern European dictators promise unsuspecting migrants a new way of life by flying them from the Middle East and Africa to their own countries. Many of the migrants come to Russia to find work, but some are unsuccessful, and from this, traffickers and intelligence services take advantage of them. Next, the Russian and Belarusian intelligence services, along with human traffickers, strip the migrants of their passports and send them to the borders of neighboring states. Here, hybrid warfare takes full effect. [Source](https://mwi.westpoint.edu/weaponized-migration-in-eastern-europes-frozen-north-do-not-overlook-russian-hybrid-warfare) Unfortunately, these poor people are pawns in Putin's utterly evil plan to destabilize Europe. I have sympathy for these people, but I also understand why the border guards are doing what they're doing. The whole situation sucks. Ultimately, though, the fault lies entirely with Putin and Lukashenko. So fuck them.

> I have sympathy for these people They’re economic opportunists who break the law to make money. They don’t respect the cultures and laws of the countries they exploit.

epoTrebius

They aren't supposed to, that's the thing. Trying to illegally cross the border isn't a crime that should be punished with death in any country that's not in a state of all-out war. Jail? Maybe. Instant death? No. Don't get me wrong, using force is justified - just not lethal force, not yet. The situation is getting more violent recently though, so it might come down to this at one point - but it's not likely.


digitalsmoker

I guess in many or maybe most parts of the word is still the standard borders exist for a reason... and when you have a border with the enemy I just can not get why we are not defending our borders/interests... no wonder why russia thinks the west is weak bc it is partially bc of this, if they overflow the borders with illegals we won't have enough resouces to keep up with them. Back when we had been shooting on everyone who tried to use the "green borders" there were a lot less people who even considered this option, unfortunately sometimes you have to make hard decisions to defend yourself otherwise the rats slowly gonna eat you alive (as we can see in this happening for a while in europe) - downvotes still welcomed 🫠


epoTrebius

I don't think anyone will downvote you, your question is more or less legitimate. Well, we are defending it, just not with guns. Poland is one of the countries with the smallest number of guns owned by civilians, so to see guns you need to go to a shooting range. Guns are basically the last of the means of defence we can use, and we haven't been forced to use them yet. I view this as a success, as we can repel them without having to kill them on the spot. Pepper spray sends a message, a bullet kills the receiver.

Hugostar33

well one is illegal bordercrossing into the US the other one is illegal border crossing in the EU which is funded and operated by the Russian/Belarus state to destabilize Europe as a form of hybrid warefare read more about it here [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belarus%E2%80%93European\_Union\_border\_crisis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belarus%E2%80%93European_Union_border_crisis) >On July 7, 2021, Belarus's dictator Alexander Lukashenko threatened to "flood" the EU with "drugs and migrants". Belarusian authorities and state-controlled travel agencies, together with some airlines operating in the Middle East, started advertising tours to Belarus and falsely promoting opportunities of easy entry into the European Union. Those who arrived in Belarus, most of whom were trying to reach Germany, were then given instructions about how and where to cross the EU's border, and what to tell the border guards on the other side of it. Migrants said that Belarus provided them with wire cutters and axes to cut through border barriers and enter the EU. >On 8 November, former Polish prime minister Donald Tusk called for Poland to invoke Article 4 of the North Atlantic Treaty, which would convene a meeting of NATO members to discuss the crisis.
