Polish term or phrase: pańskość, pański
Np. w zdaniu o Poleszukach - "najwazniejsza cecha wzoru uznawanego za "wyzszy" byla "panskosc".
W Polsce wiadomo o co chodzi, ale jak to po angielsku napisac, aby choc troche tego kontekstu zachowac? Stanislawski podaje "lordliness", co mi do okolicznosci za nic nie pasuje...

Dziekuje bardzo! Trudny problem... Poniewaz "panem"na tamtych terenach mogl byc byle Polak z jakimis aspiracjami co do stylu zycia, "nobility" wydawalo mi sie ciut za duzo. W koncu przetlumaczylam jako "gentility", ale i tak troche jest "lost in translation".
