Christy: Ryjku. Ryjek brings me to my mind a character from Tove Jansson's book series Mummitrolls. In English it's called Sniff

jonni: Faceache. it actually means snout..of course can mean someone face in either a derogatory or playful way... nothing to do with an ache though.. unless that's some kind of a limey thing.

plk123:

it actually means snout

Yes and no. Ryj means snout, but the lady wanted a translation of Ryjku, and nobody's going to say "you snout", are they? At least hopefully not.

plk123:

That's faceache.

plk123:

unless that's some kind of a limey thing.

Maybe yes. Faceache is nothing to do with an ache - it's a playful and childlike insult. Maybe it is a "kind of a limey thing". And not a 'sort of Sherman thing'. In the UK, snout is also prison slang for tobacco.

Reminds me of the joke doing the rounds a couple of years ago in PL, about the difference between a horse and a radio - "kon ma leb a radio ma ryja".

hmmm indeed ;-) Ryjku reminds me a bit of Mordek, but I've only ever heard people say that to a doggie rather than a person. Faceache sounds a bit old-fashioned, but I can imagine hearing it as a term of endearment.

snout = ryj
a little snout = ryjek
I don't like that faceache thingy...it does not translate well in any dictionary.

'I miss you my little snout' would make me smile.

faceache

I believe she translates some fairy tales, and Ryjek is Sniff character from Mumintrolls. Am I right, Christy? ;)
