Diminutive Words for Breads, Loaves, etc

I speak no Polish, and I'd like to know the diminutives for bakery-related words. Loaves, bread, slices, toast, etc. Any baked good.

For example, how would one say something like, itty bitty baby loaf? As though speaking to an infant.

Here's a list of Polish food categories, most foods have diminutive options, which you'll see if you click each food name

Thanks! I'm most interested in something more specific to baby-talk than I think this link focuses on.

Chlebuś.

@pawian
Ahh, thank you!

Would another diminutive make it 'cuter'? Is 'Chlebuśka' an even smaller loaf? Or does that have different implications?

You can't say 'Chlebuśka' because of the rules of Polish grammar :) the noun 'chleb' is masculine and therefore can't take an 'uszka' ending. You can say 'chlebek' but that's not especially cute, just a regular diminutive, more like speaking coloquially.

A bread roll is a 'bułka' which is a feminine noun. The diminutive of that is 'bułeczka', the plural 'bułeczki'. Again, you will hear people using those diminutives all the time, not just to children, but in everyday interactions. For example, a customer in a bakery may ask for ten 'bułeczki', rather than 'bułki' which is the standard/dictionary form of 'rolls'.

It's a major feature of the language, the cute-ifying and diminuifying of words :)

@Atch
That's very informative, thank you! Diminutives are such a neat thing!

Not in nominative case. But if you really want to use it, you can. When there`s a will, there`s a way, too. :)
So, instead of saying chlebusia in accusative case: Chcesz pysznego chlebusia? Wanna yummy itsy bitsy bread? you could say: chlebuśka which is a variation of chlebusia. A possible invention but not as cute.

I can remember seeing many of the above expressions in Brooklyn's Polish bakeries.

When the owner of the bakery bore the surname: Chlebus ! :)

Surname Chlebus, interesting.
Where is Surname's bakery located? Not familiar with that one.

I saw one in Williamsburg. It was owned by a Polish Jew, a very amiable man.

Slice - kromeczka/kromusia
Toast - tościk.

etc - sorry, you need to exactly say in English what you want to hear as Polish diminutive.

Buleczki were what I had at that Polish backery, Moniuszko it was called, if I remember correctly!

Do you know the song 'bubliczki'?

I'm afraid I don't.
However, it almost looks like a Russian-Yiddish word "bubliczka" (my own faulty transcription, no doubtLOL) my maternal grandmother used about me.

No relation to bread, I'm sure:-)

There's a bakery connection. Worth googling the song. The Beata Rybotycka version is the popular one here.

I think the original is in Yiddish, however the Polish-language version is well established.

"Ach, kupcież bubliczki,
Gorące bubliczki,
Gdy macie rubliczki,
Nakarmię was! "

Lovin' it, jon!
Stuff like this is great, thanks:-)

Oh wow, This is really great info! I was doing so poking around to find 'crumb' as well, I found okruch > okruszynka is that a smaller crumb? Like a baby crumling?
