What diminutives (zdrobnienie) and vocatives (wołacz) can you use for Sylwia?

I have a friend named Sylwia. I call her sometimes Sylwuś, Sylwunia, Sylwek (Sylwek is diminutive for Sylwester, but I like calling her that; just like Kasia-Kasiek).

vocative is Sylwio

Spot on, gumishu!

Thanks!

What about Sylwka?

u sure u can pronounce that? ; )

My wife's name is Sylwia. I hate calling them "Sylwka", like some people do. It sounds a little weird to me. Anyways, may depend on one's personal taste.

I use sometimes "Sylwiątko".

This might be easy to pronounce but ONLY to those of us who've been raised in Scandinavia. For most other people there aren't enough vowels in that word. You know, sjuksköterska, etc. LOL

The word makes a Russian smile, I've noticed :). Often add there "...sköter sjösjuka sjörövar..." to transfer it into a grin.


Seems like diminutives formation is common in the Slavic languages. I would stick with the second. Sylweczka. :)


I guess it would work in Czech. They tend to be lack of vowels. Prst, krst, krk. I am itching to add some vowelsto the one above. :)

Thanks everyone!

well Sylwka can work - but it is not exactly a form of endearment - it can work like Kaśka, Jadźka, Ulka, Jolka - these forms are not quite warm or endearing - they are just short forms of a name - (one can say Kaśka, Jadźka, Ulka, Jolka are actually augmentatives (an opposite to diminutive) of Kasia, Jadzia, Ula, Jola (the latter being rather affectionate))

That's my name :D. I'm Sylwia.
My favourite diminutives are Sylwuś and Sylwusia.

At school they called me Sylwek too.
