Make your hands into a paw

Generally, the Polish version is a quite faithful translation of the English one (or it's the other way round ) and it's a bit shorter. When I first heard it on the show I thought they're singing in Serbian or Slovakian. It took me some time to recognize my native language . Hence I suspect that it's been sung by a non-Polish person or someone who's Polish but haven't been to Poland for a long time. So, here are my comments:

* Polish dogs bark 'hau, hau' (pron. how how)

** I hear 'po' - eng. 'on' instead of 'do' - 'to'. If they do sing 'po' then it should be 'parkiecie' (declinations... Ugh...)

'po parkietu' - not grammatically correct
'ruszaj tyłkiem po parkiecie' - move your booty on/around the dance floor
'ruszaj tyłkiem do parkietu' - go to the dance floor on your booty



I wasn't expecting to hear Polish on the show and I'm grateful to them for including my country.

Very cool, thanks emira! I'm half-Polish so I was really happy to hear it on the show as well.

Very, very impressive job, emira!

That is funny, emira, that you thought they were singing in Serbian or Slovakian. I freaked out because I thought it sounded like they were singing in Ukrainian! You're probably right about it being sung by a non-Polish person. The singers/translaters probably did a liberal translation. Here in Chicago, the Polish and Ukie communities overlap and I can totally understand Polish and they (unbelievable to me) totally can understand me.



I always say that to my dog at the dog park and people look at me like why am I questioning my dog's actions

I have a friend from Ukraine and I understand him pretty well . I used to learn Russian at primary school, so I get the eastern languages in general. I think, the older generation don't have problems with understanding Ukrainian etc., but the young one is just a complete new story, I mean, in Poland.

I'd have liked to have seen that.

Awesome job translating!

I'm 1/4 Polish , so I was a really happy to hear it as well! Thanks emira! I self-taught myself a bit of Polish in high school to try to converse with my 100% Polish grandfather, but then he passed away so now I don't know anyone who is Polish anymore so I just gave up

Thank you, everyone! But it's not me, it's the Chonchords' genius!



You self-taught yourself Polish? I'm impressed!

I'm sorry about your grandfather . He must have been a great man . Has it been long since he passed away? How's your writing? If you wish we can PM to each other in Polish .

I'm 3/16ths, myself

I'm so glad I'm 1 Polish! I'm not good at maths.
