Nice Polish words to say to a girl

There is no word 'glupi' in Polish. Jesteś głupi is correct, very in your case :)

Seanus:

'Kocham Cię' or 'Jesteś uroczna' are good but I find that normal talking works. Just cut out the cheese (not cut the cheese) and keep it real.

I suppose I was not very clear. I did not so much mean 'say' these words, as write them. For me, the word 'cherish' and the sentiment behind it is quite real no matter how I communicate it to her. I expect it will be part of our vows, so I still want to know:

how to best translate the English word "cherish" into Polish?

Cherish? I don't know. Not wiśniowy anyway ;0 ;)

Seanus: Cherish The verb? Probably miłować. But don't ask me how it's conjugated.

Possibly. Umiłować maybe? Or that could just be my creation :)

bombelku56: how to best translate the English word "cherish" into Polish? hmm... good question...

uwielbiać, no?

That's more like 'adore' I'd say, not cherish :)

Seanus: That's more like 'adore' I'd say, not cherish :) So says the słownik, agreed. Not sure I know what the diffference is in English though....

You cherish memories, friendship etc. You adore people, animals etc. Cherish is where you hold it dear and adore is where you really like sth.

alexw68	Jul 2, 10, 23:46 #131
True but the context is what you say to a person. To say 'cherish' direct here is perhaps a little Austenesque...

And, "pysiaczku". What means?

Not when citing marriage vows it isn't, alex :P

Isn't that that which lost you your final chance and turned you gay, Marek? ;) ;)

Granted. I'm not sure, though, that the form of words used in front of a (putatively) chaste priest is entirely representative of the phraseology one would use to either initiate or sustain a relationship. Again, the hideous spectre of 19th century costume drama and its hyperventilated twaddle looms in the background :)

You silver-tongued charmer, you ...

Hmm...an interesting choice of words :) Słoneczku is nice. My little sun :)

I am too stubborn to give up on "cherish" just yet, so here is a review of one dictionary entry:

verb
[with object]

protect and care for (someone) lovingly

hold (something) dear:I cherish the letters she wrote

keep in one's mind (a hope or ambition):he had long cherished a secret fantasy about his future

I think it's obvious I am interested in the first definition. So far, there does not seem to be one word that is a good fit. Perhaps I need a short phrase to do the job?

Unrelated searches happened to turn these up tonight:

opiekować się kimś (to take care of somebody)
troszczyć się o kogoś (synonym for opiekować/martwić się)
zajmować się kimś (synonym for opiekować się)
martwić się (to care about somebody)

Perhaps someone here more well-versed in Polish will see something useful here?

I just only want to say what means "Pysiaczek". You know that little kitten and puppie has sweet mouth, so "Pysio" is sweet animal mouth, and "Pysiaczek" is a person who has sweet mouth like has puppie or kitten. You can also say in polish: buziaczku, mordeczko, or "daj pysia" ( what mean - let me give you a smooth kiss on the mouth)

What means "kociaku"?

bombelku56Threads: 2 Posts: 25 Joined: Dec 9, 09 ♂	Jul 14, 10, 12:17 #141
Ataraxie: What means "kociaku"? A diminutive, familiar form of kitten, apparently (kocia k, -ka, -ki, -kiem) "kociak" may also mean "chick" as a slang term for a pretty girl...

disguising and very dangerous thread. Girls don`t need these BS to be satisfied. Girls like bad boys

Crow: Girls like bad boys Perhaps some of the younger ones, but not the more mature women, in my experience. My girlfriend appreciates the sweet things, and I doubt she'd marry me if I was a bad boy!

Crow: Girls like bad boys Basically true.. and the good guy get's to be married to them, be the pantoflarz and pay for everything. Ergo.. Marriage is the sucker's walk.

Crow: Girls like bad boys Yes, we love the life time assignment to make them good, (unfortunately). Then we get mad and he has to forfeit his life time savings to his 'żabcia'. Pinching Pete: Marriage is the sucker's walk. so..you'll never get married or you are walking the sucker's walk already? :)
