psianoga (as a single world) as two words, 'psia noga' it would mean 'dog's leg' or 'dog's foot' The two aren't distinguished much in everyday Polish and often 'noga' (leg) is used where (foot) might be more used in English. On the other hand dog's don't have legs (nogi) they have łapy (paws).
It's considered old fashioned and I can't say I've ever heard it...
@jon357 My mom used to say "guzik z petelka" (sorry about missing cedillas on the 1st e and a) - meaning you've gained nothing, just a useless button and the piece of cotton thread used to sew it on!
Why don't you Poles switch to English as the official language and be done with diminutive and other nonsense? Like stol, krzeslo, and lawka being different genders.
I am sure that there is an explanation for this insanity.
Just curious...Can stol change his gender in Poland and call itself stola?
I am sure that there is an explanation for this insanity.
The same reason that you can't say 'three furnitures' or 'he cans sing well'.... languages have their own logic, but narcissists can't deal with anything foreign - it frightens and frustrates them to not be in control...
If you mean me, I did deal with everything foreign more and better than you or anyone you know. Name one person who one sunny day left everybody behind, got on a train, and just left the country with no one waiting at the other end. No destination address, no job, and no money. You can't so why don't you drop the narcissist crap.
It's old.
languages have their own logic,
Logic and Polish language should never be used in the same sentence. There is a reason why English is everywhere and Polish nowhere. Even here, it's a me-too language.
