Ok, I'm going to hazard a guess....(only been learning Polish for 5 months, please be gentle!)...
1. The person asking whether the Radwanski sisters are great patriots or not, doesn't believe they are. It's a sceptical way of asking the question. 2. Here the questioner has no idea if the sisters are great patriots. He is just asking an innocent straight question. ...please put us out of suspense Minaaret and tell us the difference! 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Do you want to see if we read our books at school or what? Sorry, but I really can't understand, what's going on here.
Here you are: It's a citation from Gombrowiczs Ferdydurke, one of the best known. The construction itself isn't really correct, you wouldn't say it this way nowadays. You would say "Dlatego, panowie, że Słowacki był wielkim poetą". There is a pressure on the word "był", because the children didn't have the right to have their own opinion and they just had to know, what their teacher said was right. And teachers truth was, that Słowacki was a great poet and no one could deny. Anyway, it's not much better nowadays. You still habe to analyse everything like they want you to :/ 1 person has voted this message useful | |
