¶ Discussing Recent Elections
Good. Good. That's the most important. Today we'll talk about elections again. Today we'll talk about election again. Because yesterday was the first ballot in Poland. Yes. The presidential elections. So we don't know the results for now. because we are recording it earlier. Nagrywamy to wcześniej. But I'm curious. Jestem ciekawa. Dowiemy się wkrótce.
¶ Vocabulary: Election Terms
Okay. So, it's a new vocabulary, obviously. One of the is Komisja Wyborcza. It's Election Commission. Ja? Ja pracowałam w Komisji Wyborczej, nawet wczoraj. Tak przenoszę się do przyszłości. I hope that I've finished clapping so early, exactly. Is it a difficult work? No, it's not difficult. Nudne? Maybe nudne? No, it's not a difficult work, but it's a little bit time consuming and annoying sometimes, Sometimes because people are... Yeah, but it's very pleasant. I think it's very loud, right?
No, no. Because when I look at Irlandia, I don't know about this country, but Irlandia is always very loud, right? No, no. If it's in Poland, it's quite nice to work, so it's okay. But it's time to count. I remember the last time, when there were elections for the EU Parliament, I was in the election at 3am. So crazy. For me it's a shame. People are angry.
Because when I am angry, I don't work well. So, I know, there's a lot of people who are two people outside, or there's a person outside of you, who can be a teacher, for example, right? Yeah. What can I tell you? Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. So, the election commission is election commission, as I said. You see, every time you can say this wyborcza, wyborczy, when we translate it into English, then this word election as an adjective somewhere disappears.
For example, in here, lokal wyborczy, yes, polling station. But in many cases, yes, you can notice wyborcza, wyborczy, it means like election, but as an adjective. So you can see, here's lokal wyborczy polling station, yeah? Here there's no polling, polling, yeah? So, yeah. Lokale wyborcze. Lokale wyborcze są otwarte od szóstej, no, no, nie od szóstej, od szóstej dla mnie. Od siódmej, od siódmej do dwudziestej pierwszej. So, a lot of time. Dużo czasu, żeby zagłosować. Tak myślę. I think so.
And obviously, I was, tak? Byłam członkiem komisji, tak? In fact, I was the member of the election commission. Yeah, member of... Is that like członki, like if you're in a company, you're a member of the board. Is that the same członki? Yes, członek, członek jakiegoś zarządu. Yes, członek jakiejś organizacji. Yes, member of. Yes, like in English, exactly członek. Okay. As I mentioned, vote count. Yeah? I czynię głosów. Vote count. I czynię. Mam nadzieję, mam nadzieję, że poszło szybko.
I każdy głos jest ważny. Every vote is important. Exactly. Remember it. Pamiętajcie o tym. Remember about it forever. Pamiętajcie o tym zawsze.
¶ Voter Turnout Insights
Okay. A voter turnout. Frekwencja wyborcza. Frekwencja. To nowe słowo dla mnie też. Frekwencja. Frekwencja. Frekwencja również, na przykład twój syn w szkole, tak, jak chodzi, to ma na przykład, nie wiem, 90% frekwencji, tak? So it's like about the absence. Like, and some, yes, cool. If you have like high absence in school, then your, twoja frekwencja jest coraz niższa, tak?
Ale jeśli chodzi, to jest wysoka, tak? So, the frequency of the vote is a turnout in Poland is usually high, in Poland it is usually high. We don't know how it was now, but the presidential elections, they are always wysoką frekwencją. When it comes to presidential election, they are always so. Common. and people go to vote, usually. President, already mentioned. President, president. Parlament, parliament. Yeah? So it's like... Don't look like Donald Trump,
because it's red, krawad, liby's, gametal. Yes, yes, yes. But here, the man is... Trump, maybe, maybe he was a weak... Okay. So the similar, as I mentioned last time, sometimes these words are similar.
¶ Symbols of Elections
When it comes to symbols, I think, related to election. Konstytucja. Constitution. Yeah? Flaga. Flag. So, as you know, almost the same word. Yeah? Ale dużo Polak ma flag na dom, Polaków na dom. Oh, I get that. Like, ostatni maja weekendu, też, yeah. I'm going to do your flag. Exactly, exactly. When it was a holiday, yes, like, Konstytucja 3 Maja, tak, Konstytucji 3 Maja, like, it was, like, anniversary of our first constitution, et cetera.
So, tak jak powiedziałeś, like, many people just hang their flags. Yeah? Yeah. Okay. So, Konstytucja, Konstytucja i flaga. And probably it is all from my side. And prezydencie, is it każdego pięć lat or stary? W Polsce pięć lat, pięć lat. Yes, and only it can be chosen twice. Możesz być wybrany tylko dwa razy. Tak.
