Hate to rain on your (easter) parade State but d'you think possibly they're Estonian or Latvian?

Not the same at all I know but to those not accustomed to the lingo it might sound like Polish.

We have a large Eastern European community in Lincolnshire from a variety of former eastern bloc countries & I struggle to identify the right one, so say nuffink & smile in a friendly fashion in passing!

so far on listening the closest sounding one that would remotely fit the situation is wkrótce which means back soon...?

my brain hurts.

its pretty hard though, i imagine if they tried to translate my family, dp northerner says bAth, i say bARth and the kids cant decide lol! so there they'd either get something to wash in or sick, iyswim?

they're still not there but dps informed me the funfairs on the common this weekend which would explain the eerie quiet on the estate.

Have spent over an hour reading this thread, it definately deserves it's place in classics Grin

BareBums · 30/03/2012 18:29

Let's face it they don't do "normal" things so I doubt they say "normal" things either!

Hiya by law you are entitled to ask them what they are doing & to call the police & make them aware of it.

DrinkFeckArseGirls · 30/03/2012 18:02

just discovered google translate on my laptop i can hear the words, ive only ever looked on my phone, that will help, im going to start with garlics list as they make the most sense.

the car was gone until 1.30pm, and then gone when i arrived home at 3.15pm...

Hmm, yes, could have it been 'kretynka' ? That would be Polish for female cretin.

ovaltine · 30/03/2012 16:16

Maybe they have developed the English sarcastic sense of humour?

garlicbutter · 30/03/2012 15:02

Heh, I just imagined a Polish mumsnetter on MNPolska, transliterating a Brummie's "tararfra bit" Wink

garlicbutter · 30/03/2012 15:00

What are the Polish words for bye, tarar, cheers, see you later, take care, that sort of thing? Would make the most sense, no?

It's not really fair to criticise State for failing to correctly write a Polish word she's never heard in her life before Grin I thought she did bloody well in the argument!

DrinkFeckArseGirls · 30/03/2012 14:34

But spierdalaj definitely is Grin.

LadyBabsWalthamCuddles · 30/03/2012 14:31

Sorry to hear you're having such a bad time State but use the inhabitants of the Jizz car to keep us entertained your mind off things

DrinkFeckArseGirls · 30/03/2012 14:27

Well, that's not Polish Confused. Unless, they were saying: 'kretynka', which is a female cretin. But if they waved to her first, I doubt it was it.

bagelmonkey · 30/03/2012 12:57

They get into the car, wave to mum at the door and one shouts cret-ta? well thats what it sounds like, and they've driven off?

vogonmothership · 30/03/2012 12:51

Just settled down with my cuppa soup for my daily update
Sorry you are having rubbish time State Sad

DrinkFeckArseGirls · 30/03/2012 12:41

Jeez, I have work to do... And why do I care Confused? Go away... you, you, you stop me from working... Bad MN, naughty MN.

DrinkFeckArseGirls · 30/03/2012 12:37

What do you want me to translate?
Oh, and can someone give me the time of the post. I could only find some swearing but now I lost it. Kurwa!

bagelmonkey · 30/03/2012 12:33

Where are our translators?
