ehopeross 1 | 2 1 Mar 2010 #1Can someone please confirm that I have the following phrases in the right context and grammar. It is going to be a new tattoo tribute to my parents and I would like for it to be correct before I get it.Mój ojciec dał mi siłę i mądrośćMoja matka dała mi miłość i pięknośćThanks for your time and help!!
Polish Tutor - | 78 1 Mar 2010 #8why would it only be piękno and not piękność"piękność" is just a very old fashion word. It sounds funny. We do not use it in the contemporary PolishHow about ...miłość i urodę...?What do you mean?
asik 2 | 220 2 Mar 2010 #9Moja matka dała mi miłość i pięknośćBeauty, as an abstract noun.If by beauty you mean goodlooking, handsome use word "uroda" not "piękno or piękność".Moja matka dała mi miłość i pięknośćIt will be as Polonius3 suggests:Moja matka dała mi miłość i urodę.

I have seen this spelled a few different ways and want to know the proper spelling.Thanks
wildcats - | 3 4 Aug 2011 #17Great!! Thanks a bunch! I have seen this the most but have seen it as "moje serdeczne moje życie". Is there any reason why?
loska - | 8 4 Aug 2011 #18Just random google choice, without much sense.'Heart' is a noun and shouldn't be transformed into adjective here.
Darlena 14 Mar 2012 #20Piekno or pieknosc; it really depends on the context of the expression. Piekno is refering to the beauty that surrounds you and pieknosc would most likely refer more to a person, denoting attractiveness of a person.

mtjski1234 16 Nov 2015 #23Merged: Go home and go to sleep. (correct way to write it in Polish?)Hey guys, how common is the Polish saying 'Go home and go to sleep' Idź do domu spać and is that the correct way to write it in Polish? I had friends growing up that would say that, not sure if it was just a regional thing (south-east Michigan) or what, or even why they said it, it was always just kind of funny. just curiousdzięki
Polonius3 980 | 12276 19 Nov 2015 #24Idź do domu spaćYes, in SE Michigan this was one of the few phrases many Egnlsih-sepaking PolAm kids knew. Others included a handful of swear words, a number of foods and things like "daj mi buzi". Whether your phrase was limited to SE Michigan or was Polonia-wide I do not know. For more on this please PM me.
steveski - | 1 18 Jul 2018 #25Merged: Trying to find definition and proper spelling of two wordsMy dad was born in the US but his parents were from Poland. He would sometimes say something like "schlamanzania shamaroda" before "psia krew cholera". Do these two words sound familiar? (He liked to make up gibberish sometimes too, so who knows.) Thanks.
gumishu 14 | 6219 20 Jul 2018 #26the first word was probably ślamazarna - feminine form of sluggish - I can't help you with the second word nothing similar comes to my mind
Ziemowit 14 | 4035 20 Jul 2018 #27'Ślamazarna szantrapa' or 'ślamazarna szałaputa' ? Both are regionalisms of Białystok.
The Servant 22 Feb 2020 #28Looking for the proper spelling of a Polish surname. English phonetic = Yanuszewski Thanks!
Ironside 50 | 12345 22 Feb 2020 #29szAre you telling me those are English phonetic? Well.... I guess it would spell like - Januszewski. You welcome!
The Servant 22 Feb 2020 #30@Ironside ,I listen very closely, and I thought I was probably pretty close, but I had a very close friend when I lived in another state, who spelled his name to me when we first met and then laughed like crazy when he asked me how I would pronounce it. About all I got right was the first letter. Could not see how one got "voosh" out of "wozdz". Thanks again and God Bless!
