How do you say: go home and go to sleep?

My Grandfather always told me to go home and go to bed, when I was a child. I forgot how to say that in Polish. (It sounded like usta dama spatch) He also called my mother something like schmetana, or sour cream. If you know how to say these lines in Polish, it would be a great help, Thanks, c

"Spatch" would probably be "spać" (sleep). "Usta" means mouth. Don't know what "dama" means. I can be pretty certain that "Usta dama spać" makes very little sense, though ;) EDIT: Dictionary says that "Dama" means "woman/lady".

Domu is home. Could it be domu instead of dama?

Usta dama - probably " Już do domu" już - now dom - home do domu - in the homes direction już do domu - go home, now ( in Polish with the right tone of voice it sounds sweet ;) )

cwaton: usta dama spatch it seems like "idź do domu spać"...? XD

that kind of sounds like it. Juz do domu spac (sleep) The other word my Grandfather called my Mom sounded like schemania, which she thought was sour cream, or the top of the cream. In those days it was something of value. Thanks for your help Craig

cwaton: sour cream śmietana Goes well on pierogies, or in certain zupas.

karolina: it seems like "idź do domu spać"...? XD That's the correct answer meaning "go home to sleep". If you say "Już do domu spać" that means "already home to sleep" which is incorrect

krysia: which is incorrect Not nessesarily, if you use internet translator it will translate it to "already home to sleep" which is incorrect but only in english. In Polish urging "Już do domu" exists, and is used especially by older people. I've heard it many times. The same as "Już mi stąd uciekaj!" Besides "Usta" sounds completely different to "idź"...

yeah.. juz do domu should be translated sth like 'go home now' (imperative) and 'juz do domu spac' could be used by parents when it's getting late and their children aren't home yet. Maybe it isn't 100% gramatically correct, but it's still sometimes in use.

Idź to domu i idź spać!

ZiemowitThreads: 10 Posts: 1,062 Joined: May 8, 09	Jul 28, 09, 14:05 / #
Tak jest: idź do domu i idź już spać i nie zawracaj mi już dzisiaj głowy! Jestem zmęczony, a jutro mam mnóstwo pracy.

Nie zawracaj mi guitary (dupy) can also be used :) Guitary is a little pompous so I don't use it.

ZiemowitThreads: 10 Posts: 1,062 Joined: May 8, 09	Jul 28, 09, 15:07 / #
Does it mean you usually use "nie zawracaj mi dupy" which isn't pompous at all? The language of teachers of English in Poland is quite interesting, I dare say!

Seanus: Guitary gitary

frd: Besides "Usta" sounds completely different to "idź"... because some people say: "Idźta"

frdThreads: 8 Posts: 1,956 Joined: Feb 3, 09	Edited by: frd Jul 28, 09, 17:24 / #
krysia: because some people say: "Idźta" U is different than I while JU is similar to U :) And I'm happy you agree with the rest of my post :)

michaltk	Jul 28, 09, 17:29 / #
because some people say: "Idźta" It sounds incredibly redneck like lol

Może też być: "Idź do domu i do spania"! lub bardziej "Do domu i do spania"! :D Co do "idźta" rzeczywiście wielu ludzi na wsiach używa tego zwrotu. :D:D:D

Half of the people who are answering in this thread haven't even bothered to read the first post, and are just translating the topic, while it wasn't the intention of the person who created this thread, to get the statement in the topic translated.

cwaton: He also called my mother something like schmetana, or sour cream. It looks like it could be "śmietana" (cream) but it is unusual to call a woman/girl with such a name. Maybe he called her "uśmiechnięta" (smiling) . It comes from uśmiech - smile (It sounded like usta dama spatch) - it's definitely "już do domu spać" and means "(right) now, go home to sleep"
