what does the polish word gefjinka mean. Not so sure about the spelling though. I think it a term of endearment.

Merged: Polish terms of endearment?

I frequently call my Polish boyfriend "babydoll" in English. Is there any sort of Polish equivalent?

Also, his name is Jarosław. Are there any affectionate diminutives i can call him?

Dzięnki!

I've seen this word before but it was referring to a folklore "creature", and it was referring to a house elf (i.e. Dobbie from Harry Potter).

You mean "skrzat"? They translated "house elves" to "skrzaty" in Harry Potter if I remember correctly. And it can be used as endearment term in Polish, especially towards small kids ("Ty mój mały skrzacie!" == "My little dwarf/house elf!").

But in the Polish folklore skrzat isn't exactly like house elf, they look more like dwarves (fat, with beards, etc), but are only few inches tall and hide in houses of regular people. They were supposed to make small tricks to people in whose houses they live (like **** into milk, break glass, such things). To make them helpfull you had to left some food for them on the floor.

My grandma Szczech was 100% Polish, and when we were little she would call us something like "Kosa" or something like that. It is a term of endearment for a little child, and my father, my grandmother's son, thinks it means "my little goat." Sadly, I cannot ask my sweet grandma because she has passed away, and my father is now 79 years old, so I am not sure if he is remembering things correctly.

Perhaps I myself have remembered things incorrectly.

Can anyone help? I'm writing some memoirs and I would like to get this right.

Thanks!

Merged: Sweet things to call a Polish girl ? + pronunciation of ptysie

Hi,

What are some sweet things to call a Polish girl?

Can I call her a 'ptysia' as a feminisation of 'ptysie'?

Also, how do you pronounce the word 'ptysie'? I'm struggling to make that sound. Is it as it looks? A voice clip would be best!

Thanks

You can but I would be careful as it has some connotation with being fat or chubby :-)
