plaidrose 1 | 1 7 Sep 2008 / #1when a child I remember old men calling old women "stoddy" or "stodja" babcias. I am not sure that is the spelling but that is the sound I remember. Is that something similar and what is the meaning?
piotrn - | 9 8 Sep 2008 / #3Yes, possibly it was "stara" (woman) or "stary" (man), or in some dialects "story" (man), so you probably have remembered "story" (it sounds similar to "stoddy"), but who knows :)And the meaning is "old".
OP plaidrose 1 | 1 8 Sep 2008 / #4Dziękuję Am I correct to say "stara babcias" as old ladies or old grandmothers?I appreciate your help.
