UKC

A lad i work with (SEN, first language Polish)keeps talking abou Julye holidaysthey saying "soy-you". Anyone got ideas of what he may be trying to tell me. Is it a word or a place?

In reply to idiotproof (Buxton MC):


I know basic Polish but have no idea :-P
Give me 10 minutes I'll ask my wife if she knows (she's Polish).

In reply to idiotproof (Buxton MC): I don't understand all of your post let alone Polish.

I know. Haven't got to grips with posting/typing from phone!

In reply to idiotproof (Buxton MC):

Is he asking you if you are going on holiday in July?

In reply to idiotproof (Buxton MC):

Unlikely, his condition means he is very focused on himself with little/no interest in other. It doesn't sound that way either.

In reply to idiotproof (Buxton MC):

My wife has no idea what it could mean :-P

In reply to idiotproof (Buxton MC):

are his (and your) employers asking him if he has any holidays in July?

(about July holidays, they are saying: "so, you"?)

In reply to idiotproof (Buxton MC): He's a cosmonaut he's saying Soyuz

In reply to idiotproof (Buxton MC): what do you mean by his condition?

In reply to heidi123:

SEN - special educational needs?

In reply to idiotproof (Buxton MC):

My wife. But I don't understand what you're saying in English!

In reply to idiotproof (Buxton MC):

He is saying that the first chance he has during the holiday in July he is going to get the hell away from you, and back to Poland. Hence the 'see you', as in a good riddance. What is that you have done to him to make him feel this way?

In reply to idiotproof (Buxton MC):

Is he a Happy Boy?

In reply to idiotproof (Buxton MC): does he speak any English? is he trying to tell you something in polish or English?

In reply to idiotproof (Buxton MC):

Yeah has special needs, but has reasonable English. But this word definitely isn't. His speech is fairly clear and it is 100% one word he Thinkk i should know. But then he expects me to know a number of Polish words!!


I'll ask his mum tonight.

And yes he is very happy, though just annoyed at me for not understanding this one thing

In reply to idiotproof (Buxton MC): let us know what he means. be interesting to know!

In reply to idiotproof (Buxton MC):

I've no idea either, but I do hate the use of the term 'special educational needs'. Can't we call a child autistic, or mentally deficient or Downs syndrome ? If it's what they are, it's not derogatory or judgmental.

In reply to Deviant: I agree. I didn't even know what SEN meant

In reply to Deviant:

Is mentally deficient any better? His diagnosis is very complex so I don't think going into his medica/cognitive diagnosis would have really helped

In reply to idiotproof (Buxton MC):

probably not a great idea to discuss conversations you have with clients on the internet either

In reply to Dauphin:

Its anonymous and hardly personal information of a private nature...

and by the way, his mum can't work it out as he wouldn't say it when she was there. Will keep you informed if she works out what Soy-You may be

In reply to idiotproof (Buxton MC):

sure - go have a word with your manager about it & come back and tell us all about what they said.

In reply to Dauphin:

I see your point from purely a black and white point of view but I think you are being a little over the top and unreasonable.

As an aside it was actually the centre manager who asked me to try the internet and was quite interested in what UKC came up with as I told her it was my font of (often useless) knowledge. I feel quite deflated that UKC has let me down

In reply to idiotproof (Buxton MC):

just some friendly advice. you actually identified lots of details about your client when you could of asked simply what it meant.

d

In reply to Dauphin:

Thanks for the advice, I will bear it in mind.

In reply to idiotproof (Buxton MC): I just keep thinking you want to have a conversation with some Stoney classics...

In reply to idiotproof (Buxton MC):

Assuming the rest of the conversation was in English, I'd say the last bit is English, but he's mis pronouncing it.. It probably is so you, as in what holidays have you planned.

In reply to idiotproof (Buxton MC):
See uski I think

In reply to idiotproof (Buxton MC): If he won't say it when his mam's there maybe he's calling you a cnut!! Just a thought
