homophony

can czy and trzy be homophonous PUC – 12:27, 31 December 2023 (UTC)

@PUC No, why would they? They have different spellings for a reason. Polish has a phonemic distinction between affricates and stop-fricative clusters, e.g. czy-trzy, dżem-drzem. The clusters are pronounced with the fricative being slightly longer and the stop being aspirated in normal speech, while in fast speech, the stop component may become an affricate but it's still followed by a separate fricative so czy and trzy are never homophonous in standard Polish (so it may be pronounced like "czszy"). Pronunciations like "czeba" instead of "trzeba" are even mocked as backward and rural. But curiously, even stereotypical rural speakers from the East who may say "czeba" would never pronounce its short form, "trza" (which h itself is associated with backwardness), as "cza".

calque

is musztarda po obiedzie a calque of moutarde après dîner PUC – 17:59, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

@PUC maybe? idk, WSJP doesn't say anything about its origin and you'd have to check when the Polish and French phrases were first used, but we can't rule out that they both come from some other language cause idioms like that are like internationalisms.
