Thanks! This is exactly why I clicked on the comments.

Same here, two years later.

And the other two?

[Jellei]

Right now Wikipedia actually lists as many as seven deserts in Poland, although it seems that "Wielka Pustynia Błędowska" encorporates several of them.

I don't think that most Polish people know about any other than the Błędów one. If they even know about that one.

[golden.plover]

Thank you! In English, that category shows only one page.

In French and Italian there are two and in all other languages - only one.

Thanks, really interesting. But I find it hard to believe that the Polish people would actually wish to CONSERVE a desert??? In Africa they are trying hard to reclaim some of their desert land! :-O

Freezing cold deserts?

[Anikei.]

In Poland there are three small deserts only - am I wrong?

[Casandra-Lee]

Well... yes. Cause in English only can not end the sentence. But everyone, in America, would understand you.

[LukeLanfea]

This is not entirely true, there are cases where it is appropriate to end in only, however I would say that this one is one where you generally wouldn't. You could say something like 'I want three chairs only!' which gives the sentence a whole different meaning to 'I only want three chairs!' where the former is a clear instruction and the latter is more of a desire. Ending with it tends to make the number more exclusive.

Thankfully Poland has more than 3 desserts :-)

I had " there are only three small deserts in Poland" marked wrong. I realise this has reversed the Polish sentence, but otherwise I would say this is at least as good an English translation.

[Jellei]

Actually this is on the list of accepted answers, it should have worked.

[johnsuther5]

Thank you. I must have made a typing mistake!
