@Dana_Dany Danuta isn't this the same link twice?

Hi, @MoniqueMaRie!

Thanks. 🙂 You're right, my mistake, but I can't remove it. :(

"Pomyłka to rzecz ludzka" & "A mistake is human"

I deleted it.

Thank you for the proverb "Pomyłka to rzecz ludzka"
Pomyłka = error/mistake
To = is/this (followed by nominative)
Rzecz (f) = thing
Ludzki/a = human
Word by word translation: error is a human thing
(the old latin: errare humanum est)

A fun fact:
Rzecz ludzka = human thing
Rzeczpospolita = people's thing = republic
Rzeczpospolita Ludowa = people's people's thing = people's republic (R.I.P.)

... for those interested, I have some more "rzeczy" (things) here, i.e. quotes and sayings. 🙂

  • Prawdziwie żyć to najrzadsza rzecz na świecie. Większość ludzi jedynie egzystuje.
  • Truly living is the rarest thing in the world. Most people just exist.

    ~ Oscar Wilde

  • Najważniejszą rzeczą jest, aby cieszyć się swoim życiem – być szczęśliwym – tylko to się liczy.
  • The most important rzeczą (thing) is to enjoy your life - to be happy - that's all that matters.

    ~ Audrey Hepburn

  • Jest tylko jedna rzecz, która sprawia, że marzenie jest niemożliwe do osiągnięcia: strach przed porażką.
  • There is only one rzecz(thing) that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.

    ~ Paulo Coelho

  • błądzić jest "rzeczą" ludzką (źródło powstawania problemów jest rozmaite – nieuwaga, lekkomyślność, przemęczenie, stres itp.)

  • to err is human (the sources of problems are various - inattention, recklessness, fatigue, stress, etc.)

  • mówić od rzeczy - mówić bez sensu, pleść głupstwa

  • speak nonsense - speak nonsense, ...

  • mówić do rzeczy - mówić rozsądnie, z sensem, do właściwego tematu

  • speak to the point - speak sensibly, with sense, to the right topic
