In French it's considered sweet to call someone a chou (cabbage) or a puce (flea). Imagine using that in an English conversation!

Would anyone be offended if someone was to call you stara kobieta? want to poke fun at a female friends age even though shes only 27(4 months older than me)

stara kobieta?

Yes ! It's not a phase you should joke about with no matter what Nationality the female is.

Most females can be touchy about their age <depending on what day it is lol>

It means 'Old Woman/Lady' ..........hmmmmm I"d say if you want to stay friends find something else to say....

I love the polish terms of endearment! I mean; zabko or kwiatuszku - that's so sweet! But maybe someone can help me with "dziubek". I found dziobak, but I'm not quite sure, if that's the same. Is it a common term?

Thanks!

"Dziubek" is very common and very pleasant in polish, usually in the form "dziubku" (vocative case), it means " a little beak". It probably refers to the shape of lips we make when we want to kiss somebody

Thread attached on merging:
nice word for my fiance

hejka,

As it is valentines day tommorow, I am naming a rose after my fiance, but I would like to also include a very special polish word that I can call it as well, I was originally going to use UKOCHANY, obviously she is female so I just want to get this right because it would be embarrasing if I end up calling it something wrong lol

dzięki

Best Regards

My grandmother used to call me a Polish name, and it sounded like "pooka". She said it meant doll. Is this correct? And what's the correct spelling?

Thanks!

Could be kukła, it is the only translation i can find that sounds a wee but like what you wrote. Not sure though.

must be something dialectical - I am not that strong in Polish dialects being a Pole myself

in standard Polish a doll is lalka

Hey! Can someone tell me what muffin is in polish? Moja kochanie is Polish, I know its along the lines of "babeczka", but I've looked it up, it kind of means bun?

Anyone know what the direct translation of muffin is, or a term of endearment that is similiar to muffin? I have this page saved as a bookmark, its very helpful :D

Dziękują :)

Muffin is called muffin ussually with polish "u".
Some words like katchup and donut can be pronounced 2 ways.
Some polish people say those words english way, but some (like me) say it like (keczup and donut with polish "u").
We have a problem also with sites like google, and youtube. Some poles say it properly, but others say google like gogle and youtube like jutub(e).
