my mom always calls guys called Daniel - Daniel-£oś(wash) (Daniel-Moose lol, a daniel is a species of moose). danio (dahn-yo) is a make of a yoghurt-ish dessert in Poland ;)
Daniel is not a moose species, but a deer. And in Polish it's a Jeleń Daniel. And a Jeleń is an elk but a deer is a sarna so depending on the type of deer it can be a white-tail deer which in Polish is a Jeleń Wirgiński, or an elk which is also a Jeleń. And a Deer is a Sarna.
jeleń is stag, sarna is deer, łoś is moose. all i said was that my mom call gyus called daniel mooses, i never really checked if a daniel was a type of a moose or a deer...
omg cannot believe I found this thread! my girl is Polish and I am trying so hard to learn and as you can imagione it is difficult at best. You all have had some wonderful q & A's
She calls me Danio as has been posted here before and Danek. Kotku I thought was more like sweetheart and kotek is kitten
Love this thread! I love cute Polish nicknames.. my boyfriend and i joke a lot and we sometimes call each other żabsko or żabisko.. big ugly smelly froggy.. i call him that cos i think it sounds even cuter and he just thinks its so funny that i find it cute! Probably not a good idea for anyone else to say this to their gf/bf though... hmm.. Also we went swimming one day and i had just learned that szybko means fast so i called him my szybko rybko (fast fishy) which kinda stuck :)
Other nicknames.. Tygrysek [/b](or Tygrysku when addressing him) - little tiger Serduszko - sweetheart Malpko - little monkey! Pocieszny - (someone may possibly correct me on spelling of this but...) we dont have a word for it in English, you can call him that if you were upset and he made you feel better :)
Could anyone give me the affectionate version of my wife's name "Danna". She is visiting Poland right now, and in my letters to her I would like to address her more personally in Polish, as in "My Dearest Danna" (in Polish)
my dearest is Moj Najdrozsze... but im not sure about how that works with a name.. like if it would become Moja Najdrozsza.. cos its a woman's name.. hmm... someone will know, no doubt!! :)
What about Moj Najdrozsza Dannaniusia? Too much? Does that even work?
Eurola I'm not sure I got it right.
Niunia, Niunius, Niusia are endearing words used alone and often added to your real name. Your sapphire name could be sapphiruniunia, aune above could be called auniusia etc

I apologize in advance for the poor formatting, I'm a newbie.
It has to be constantly reinforced tho, not just the occasional comment from time to time. I have to say it at least once every day, if not ten times :)
