Hi, first time in Polish waters. We all know Malopolska is Poland Minor. What about Wielkopolska? Changing matters, how do you say "Thanks" in Polish?

Oh, and I think \"thank you\" is \"Dziekuje\" (http://www.myanmars.net/language/thankyou.htm)

I suspect accents might be needed though. Polish native speakers can help there, I\'m sure.

neutral  petrolhead: Why? Does "Greater Poland" mean anything to those speakers of English who have no expericence of Poland? The website you quote uses the "Wielkopolska Region (Greater Poland)" translation.
