I only know a couple of people from that region so I have no idea about the endings. I must say when they speak among themselves they lose me sometimes.
Aberdeen? Gorol then. What the hell are you doing down there did you find yourself Ślązoczke.
Well, this thread disappeared quickly. I still have the book so can test anyone who wants to be tested. Even Silesians but preferably not from Chorzów or Ruda Śląska as they will likely know all of them.
Wow. this list is much more complicated than the previous one I don't know many of these words:
fajrant - generally end of work - free time, but is also used "zrobić coś za fajrant" - to do something for free or for a very small sum of money
heft - notebook izdebka/izba - room jeronie - something like "damn it", I also heard "jiżynie/jeżynie" version... podzim - I'm pretty sure that's a name of a season but I'm not sure if it's before or after winter ; )
tacik - dad.. but I know that most people use "fater"... utropa - I'm not sure of that but I'd be guessing it's worry' waserwoga - something with water.. but I have no idea what :) zany - if it's a naun then it's "gupielok" a Silesian classic, and probably most often used word in that "silesian" comedy show about "Bercik".. ; )
Amolok = mint sweet Bas = stomach Cesta = road Dran = my turn Erlyjz = fixing up sth Fajrant = knocking off work Garus = a mess Heft = a notebook Izdebka = little room Jeronie = cuss word Kaczok = big puddle Laclik = one who slavers Mandle = almonds Nec = net Oberiba = like a radish Podzim = autumn (before winter) Quail = game bird (English word) Rapitołza = frog Sierotki = daisies Tacik = dad Utropa = an effort Veins = blue lines on your body(English word) Waserwoga = a level of sth Xylophone = an instrument (English again) Yellow (and again) = a light colour Zany (finally) = bizarre
I should've given more time but I don't anticipate much traffic on this thread. I have plenty more if anybody is interested.
I didn't know what you wanted with these English words, I reckon there is no "yellow" word in silesian.. I thought you wanted their Silesian counterparts ; o
anyways, we can just link some kind of a Silesian dictionary here, I though you're here for some conversation :p
Exactly, my Silesian knowledge is not that good anyway as it isn't really spoken here in Gliwice. It's much more widely used in Chorzów and Ruda Śląska.
ohh.. now I get it :D I thought you wanted these words to get translated to Silesian :P
Pretty popular Z word is zicnij/zitcnij - that is - sit down.. fi. Zicnij se tutej fater. - Sit here father. :)
You also might have heard "zimniok" somewhere because many poles from across the whole Poland know word "ziemniak", silesian equivalent is nearly the same..
