If one wanted to have the word "Breeze", as in "Feel the breeze" expressed, how would you translate that in English properly? I have tried putting it into translators online and because I don't know the language very well I can't figure out which would be correct. If someone can help me out I'd appreciate it! -Kayla

kaylajade: Thanks.. Now I need to figure out which of those two. :-) To me, the line sounds like a biker's motto. Maybe think whether the breeze is one which is blowing on you itself (like at the seaside etc) or one you are creating, like riding a bike into the breeze. One is perhaps softer and gentler, while one is harder and more invigorating.

my choice is powiew -or simply 'wiatr' depending on the context you give me the context (what kind of breeze is that supposed to be) and I tell you which one is better

Bryza in Polish to me evokes a more maritime ambience than English breeze which is more ambiguous. Poczuj powiew would also probably be OK. Powiew would surely be any artificially generated wind-like effect such as when riding a bike or driving a cabrio.

Thanks to everyone for your input. As for the actual meaning of the tattoo, the word "breeze" is the last name of an old lover that died recently and the polish comes in because my grandfather was polish and spoke it beautifully and has also passed away. I am tieing the two together. So the tattoo is only the word "Breeze". Not "feel the beeze". That was my bad for putting that in there.So what do you all think would represent that best? Bryza? I don't want to be one of those people that gets a tattoo that isn't the true meaning I was going for. It means a lot to me.

Wietrzyk sounds best IMO.

So I guess the context I am putting the last name "Breeze" into is the idea of one's soul moving with the wind. My loved ones that have passed are in the wind with me. So what do you think it should be?

Thankyou

Kayla: If one wanted to have the word "Breeze", as in "Feel the breeze" expressed, how would you translate that It depends where the breeze comes from. If it's from the mouth then it could be "oddech". Otherwise a slangish expression would be "bąk".

So the translation of "wiatr kayle" is what?

I would put it differently - Kayle Wiatr
if you want some poetic effect you can choose Kayle z wiatrem we włosach - Kayle with the wind in her hair
or Kayle Szumiwiatr - Szumiwiatr is not a dictionary word but means sort of Kayle Blowwind
if you want a dramatic effect go for Wicher Kayle - sort of gale (a strong one) - so can be translated as Kayle the Gale - sounds nice ain't it

This is hard.. i think im going to have to find someone who speaks polish and talk to them is person. Too many choices, and i want it to be the right one.
