What does Kurwa mean?
Kurwa is probably one of the most popular word which people from other countries ask poles about.
There's nothing weird about it cause many polish people overuse that, it is really common and it can mean lots of things depending on a context.
Coming back to the main theme:
Kurwa basically means "fuck". This meaning of kurwa is used for example when something is really painfull or something went wrong.
Another meaning of kurwa is whore or bitch. It doean't have to mean that girl who you call like this sells her body it can just be used to offend somebody, sometimes even a man.
There are also another kinds of "kurwas" with some prefixes and suffixes but they are not super needed to know in my opinion.
Hope this post wasn't too offensive for anybody.
