peer agreement (net): -1Jadlodajnia barowa Explanation: I think cafeteria implies a self-serve way from a bar-like setting. It is much like bar mleczny. We have cafeterias at universities and on our ferries. And this is exactly what they look like. Also much more than a coffee bar or a cafe. You may have nice warm meals there as well. |

peer agreement (net): +3cafeteria Explanation: I guess Lota is perfectly right in her explanation, but she suggest a Polish phrase. My guess is that someone has just borrowed the English word and made 'kafeteria'. It doesn't have anything to do with coffee shops - Polish coffee shop - is 'kafejka', at least according to Słownik języka polskiego, PWN. |
