The ignorance of this site never ceases to amaze me. Ski is an almost uniquely polish suffix. Not Russian. And the mix up is actually racist and insulting.

I'm proud that I knew it was Polish BEFORE reading the comments.

The "ski" suffix is uniquely Eastern European, not just Polish. It isn't just Russian, either.

Yes it is... How do you explain my Russian neighbor who's last name end in ski!?!

Stepharoo said it isn't JUST Russian. Meaning yes, Russians can have that suffix, but it's not exclusive to them. I had a math teacher who's last name was Faszczewski and she was Polish.

And like I said before, Russian and Polish are very similar languages. Very similar last name suffixs.

Umm... Hello? Macedonian last names end in 'ski' i.e Proeski, Talevksi, Ristevski. It's not JUST Russian and Polish.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

YOU KNOW WHAT? That also includes Russian. I never discluded any other nationalities!! This was meant to be funny. Not to discriminate any nationalities. Of course there are more countries with last names that end it ski or sky.

The post said "You know they're Russian...", and you don't, they could be any nationality...

Uhmm.. Yeahh well apreantly people these days can't take a little bit of humor and exaggeration!!

by Anonymous 13 years ago

No offense, but it's not really humour, it just sounds like an observation.

You all just need to stop telling me that I failed, because I didn't. You know why? Because Russian last names CAN end in ski or sky. They don't have to.. But it is common. I never sad ski or sky wasn't a suffix for any other country. It was a statement. I can't believe people are so shallow that all they do I insult other people. W. O. W.

Ok, you didn't say "you know they COULD BE russian"; you said "you know they're russian". My last name by marriage ends in -sky and it's Russian; as everyone else says, -ski is USUALLY polish. Not always, but usually... which means your post IS wrong, and the people who agree with it are ignorant. Stop trying to twist your words around to make you somehow less wrong; show a little maturity and admit you made this post based on your one russian neighbor with the -ski name, rather than from knowing of a bunch of people with it. That's what happens when you post inaccurate exaggerations; people get mad.

Nah it's polish.

You say I'm immature? You spend all your time critizing other people. This site is meant for fun. It's called amirite. Not let's be specific in everything we say.

Russian last names tend to end in "ov" and "ova" if they're a girl

You also know that they're Russian when they drink 8 cups of vodka a day instead of water. Also if they're bears riding unicycles.

Oh, the fun of Polish last names! My personal favorite is Szuszczewicz.

I don't believe you know what you're talking about. No offense. An you can't just say no offense even if it is offensive. And FYI, TRUE ninjas understand me.
