Thanks, what would Dudziński mean in Polish? Here in the US some people use last names as nicknames, and since nicknames in Polish use the adjective suffixes, could you go by both Duda and Dudziński, if Dudziński was a nickname?

I think I'm looking for diminutive form of Duda.

Ya I looked more on these forums and I now know that I'm looking for the diminutive or "nickname" endings, how would you add the endings onto Duda?

Duda is an existing surname, it happens to be mine. Could you just add the suffix?

If Duda is my surname could a suffix be added onto it? If so what are the rules?

Thanks that's very informative.

I heard that they're suffixes like -ska and -ski, what do they do? Are there rules to adding them onto last names? Sorry if I'm getting off topic.

Is it difficult to talk to people that talk with other dialects? Do you know any good Polish grammar books or better dictionaries?
