Language / Polish sayings [237]
Hee hee, that would be a good one, is there an equivalent to "cute" in Polish? As we Southern girls use it - to describe things that are adorable, sweet, nice, perfect, wonderful, etc. Kind of an all-purpose compliment, but that doesn't detract from its meaning. We use it to describe clothes, houses, makeup packaging, men, garden layouts, silver patterns, computer form factors, anything. It can also be an insult, depending on how you say it - "That's a cute dress" means the speaker likes it, but "What a cuuuuuuuuute dress!" means "Why don't you buy something new once in a while?"
