The Jagiellonian Dynasty is considered the greatest royal dynasty in Poland's history, leading Poland to its peak, economically and politically.

The one with Yacht Its actually a wordplay. In Poland we say "Jak się masz" meaning "How are You doing?" and the word yacht just sounds about the same as the word "jak" :)

It's incorrect to capitalize "you" in English sentences. Besides it's incorrect in Polish as well if you're writing a sentence from a dialogue or an interview. It's not a letter, SMS, e-mail or a post.

The Jagiellonian dynasty (read as Yagiellonian, because J in polish makes sound like Y in Yeti) ruled the country when it was the most powerfull and its basicly Poland when it was the strongest, richest etc. It's a joke about how polish people are often very proud of our past and they like to bring it up especially to foreigners

I feel like pierogi is more like an international meme of Poland, than an actual iconic of Poland, because it's a polish word that's well known across the world. It's difficult to get full perspective on how other see us, but I think if you asked Polish, they'd say that alcohol and sausage is more iconic for us than pierogi.

I've never seen a pierogi pizza xD Jagiellonian dynasty was a dynasty ruled Poland and Lithuania in XV and XVI century - Poland and Lithuania formed an union, great duke of Lithuania became king of Poland, and basically was an one state and in 1569 we officially formed one country, Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth or in polish language "Rzeczpospolita Obojga Narodów" (translate word for word it would be something like "Republic of Both Nations"). This period was a golden age for Poland, under Jagiellonian rules and in XVII century Poland was a superpower (after Jagiellonian we don't have a dynasty like this, polish king was elected by aristocracy and candidates was for whole Europe. We'd got a kings from France, Sweden, Transylvania or Saxony). Jagiellonian also do lot of political marriages with other centraleuropean states and there was a period when kings of Czechia and Hungary was parts of Jagiellonian dynasty - not a union like between Poland and Lithuanian, only family members. Also a lot of european aristocracy was related to Jagiellonian in some way.

Greetings from Polish. FYI, about the diacritics you should know that we're consistent. I.e. , "SZ" always pronounces as [sh], "RZ" and "Ż" always pronounces as [zh] as in "Brezhnev". And the rest is also consistent. While, when you take "PACIFIC OCEAN", the letter "C" you pronounce in THREE different ways. Just one phrase. Keep that fact parked in your mind.

You wouldn't find poles using cyrylic alphabet any easier. Actually Poland choosing latin alphabet made a little favour to rest of Europe for them to understand a little bit easier. Cyrylic alphabet is the one used by Russia for example. We may have some weird diagraphs and diacritics, but at least most of letters are the same as yours.

Rob you have to remember that up to 1989 you could only legally bay 2,5 kg( about 6 ibs) for one person for month. So we had to find something else to eat, so you had flour egs water, you had pierogi, you had lane ciasto, pancakes. That's why in most poles memory are pierogi and other things which were prepare by nan's or mums so you could have something to eat. I remember times back in 60ties when you had tiny peace of sosage and few sliced of bread, and you were sticking sosage under your nose, but was bitting bread. Back then every woman knew how to cook and bake, how to make food go for longer with limited supply. Most kids were loving pierogi, pancakes, pasta, so our mom's and grans were cooking them for us. I've done it for my kids and grandkids, nothing better than home made dumplings mate.I hope that will help you to understand why obsessions with dumplings between poles.

Sorry Rob, forgot to ad that you could legally buy only 2,5 kg of meat. We all had like cards with specify type of meat or sosage, chicken and amount you can buy. Butcher was cutting parts of your card off, so when you used it, you could get any meat unless you made a transaction under the canter, as we used was saying. Transaction could be made with money or other products which you were swapping, for example coffee, alcohol, sweets which were hard to get back then.

You should try Leniwe pierogi! Although they don't look like other dumplings, they are called so. They are sweet and tasty!

that's truely funny with Pierogi. My girlfriend brought me her mother's pierogi and it was my best week in my life, having it every day for the lunch :D:D:D

In one of the episodes of X-Files one of clue moments was when Fox Mulder writes "Polish sausage. Best in the city." :) So it translates.

About the "maluch" car: It was licensed fiat 126 (Italian technology, whoever made that meme is young) and produced in Poland (as fiat 126p) for many years, it is as iconic as mini in UK or fiat 500 in Italy. BTW some people do call it "malacz", exactly how you pronounced it. (Most call it /mah-loo-x/, /x/ like in loch).

The thing about the yacht meme is that the English word "yacht" is pronounced quite similarly to the Polish "jak", so there might as well be the question "jak się masz?" (in English "how are you?").

Let's say a thing about the language... Polish is siple cause we have a sign for every sound, there are many sounds so we have a lot of signs. In English you have less signs but different pronounciations, sometimes the same letter i pronounced differently. In Polish usually we write exactly what we say, according to certain rules. It's not strange. There is a lot of sounds so we need a lot of charachters to write them

Pierogi; when I was younger pierogi were the usual dish, not a celebrity. We always had them with sweet cheese ot fruit (strawberry, blackberry) and cream, that's twice or three times a month or even more rarely with lentils or mushrooms and meat. Than around 2010 we (my family) get to know pierogi with cheese and potatoes (Ruskie) as they become popular. Lately (5 or 10 years ago) when more and more tourists started coming to Poland they asked about food and wanted to eat sth. Pierogi were perfect to be the Polish mark. Quick to prepare, different varieties of flavours, etc. That is what I think of their popularity. Forigners started to look for them, Pierogi business started :-) memes appeared. You may think Poles eat only pierogi, not true.

About Polish alphabet: there was a proposition to drop it all but save a phonetic transcription of the language. Polish word "szczęście" could look like this: "shtsheunsstsse" so even more consonants...

Part 4.... glad you just start to discover the Polish internet Rob :D Enjoy :D

Kiełbasa translates to sausage, but I think the same way fasolka po bretońsku translates to cowboy beans - as in they both have beans in them, other than that, fairly different dishes. I think parówka would be closer to sausage.

Okay so about this map meme there is some kind of hidden wordplay as well, becouse "partition of Poland" is "rozbiór Polski" in polish, but word "rozbiór" is some form of word "rozbierać" and "rozbierać" in polish means deconstruct/undress/strip. So on the map there is Poland before it was "rozebrana" which may be treated, on a wordplay level, as Poland before it was stripped. Like you know it is still not deconstructed/not stripped, undressed, naked but there is a promise in this picture for future nude pictures of Poland. So yeah it is a wordplay meme.

pizza with pierogi doesn't need to be made AT ALL. There's a reason no one does this, it'd be a terrible composition of conflicting flavours that would immediately ruin the best tastes that pizza and pierogi each bring to the table. They are both using flour dough but of a different kind with different cooking restrictions. You can however get a pizza with toppings that are one-to-one matching the filling of various kinds of pierogi, and vice versa you can fill in the pierog with stuff you can typically find on a pizza. But the dishes as whole collide with one another when combined by force... There's also the calzone - which is basically a folded pizza - that is often called "pierog calzone" in Poland because it resembles pierog with all the toppings encased by the dough. I get you may be skeptical as to how I would know it's so bad if no one ever puts pierogi on a pizza... well, I did this in the past, actually, and I almost had to throw up. And I can stomach A LOT of crazy combinations with ease... but this one just didn't sit well with me, to the point of throwing away the food... it was all literally ruined. But I do still eat pierogi and pizza, no worries. I had pizza 2 days ago and some pierogi like an hour ago. It's just that the combination - while funny as a meme - is unbearably disgusting. So, you've been warned Rob, I advise you against trying it yourself...

9:06 yeah, it's one of those "can't kill it" cars. But the interesting thing is that a maluch (toddler in english)or a Fiat 126p has the engine at the back, and the trunk was at the front. That's why he was often called, at least in Warsaw, the "jeżdżąca trumna" or "riding coffin" in English. Because they don't have any crumple zones. My grandfather died in such a vehicle.

16:07 it's because cultural, all Western Slavic nations (Poles, Czechs and Slovaks) were a part of Western Culture group. They neighboured Germans, they traded with them. Also the Amber Trail back from Roman Empire went through these lands... Poland was always looking West (also peeking East, as somebody who doesn't want ot be stabbed in the back). Biggest factor was definately religion -> Polish pagan tribes were baptised with help of Czechs(from political point of view - earliest Piast rulers didn't want to have Christianisty to be spread by Germans, they looked at Hole Roman Empire as a big country and didn't want to be dependent from them in any way), who were Catholic. With religion came the alphabet. Earliest Polish documents were written in latin... so latin alphabet was used as a base, when Polish typography was created. Pagan Slavic tradition were mostly spoken/sing one... (or at least, none of the writting survived to current date)

As for the word "maluch", the "ch" is the same as "h" in "home".

On 10 April 2010, a Tupolev Tu-154 aircraft operating Polish Air Force Flight 101 crashed near the Russian city of Smolensk, killing all 96 people on board. Among the victims were the president of Poland, Lech Kaczyński, and his wife, Maria, the former president of Poland in exile, Ryszard Kaczorowski, the chief of the Polish General Staff and other senior Polish military officers, the president of the National Bank of Poland, Polish Government officials, 18 members of the Polish Parliament, senior members of the Polish clergy, and relatives of victims of the Katyn massacre. The group was arriving from Warsaw to attend an event commemorating the 70th anniversary of the massacre, which took place not far from Smolensk.

1:00 It's an untranslatable word game. "How are you" in polish is "Jak się masz" andy you read J as Y. So "Yacht" sounds very similar to "Jak".

"Jak się masz" is basically "wow are you". and "jak" is pronounced more or lese like "yack"

1:43 "Yacht" sounds simillar to "jak"="how", so "jak się masz"="how are you"

The: Yacht się masz meme is based on: jak się masz. Jak means how. And jak and yacht soud similar in polish

Yacht Sie Masz - its short from ( Sie Masz) from "jak sie masz" - how are you (Yatch - sound bit similar to "Jak") ...

Talkink about kielbasa it's usually smoked meat and I can assure you that it's a smell I would like to feel everyday.

President Lech Kaczynski went there to commemorate polish soldiers killed in Katyn by the NKVD in 1940. The crash was the main event that divided polish political stage and poles.

If you think about it "pierogi pizza" is calzone. At least if you look at the form of it.

Yacht sie masz => JAK się masz => How are you :) Pronounciation is a tiny bit similar

Yacht has quite similar pronuncation as polish jak Jak się masz

Pierogi Pizza -- we don't have it heren :) thinking why, that would have some rather weird consistency due to the differences of pizza-dough and pierogi-dough, both in cooking and eating... yet, obviously, we do actually call the calzone version of pizza (you know, the one folded in half and enclosed) commonly as 'pierog' :)
