Names for loved ones in Polish ❤️ | diminutives (zdrobnienia)

[@silesian99]

I think you want to say, "I feel as though they are patronizing me." I learn a lot from Zuzanka, and I enjoy falling in love again every time I watch one of her videos.

[@zochesky]

Hi there! Thank you so much for your video. I'm writing a fan fiction and one of them is polish in this relationship so it's been really helpful learning from this video.

[@remizubon2875]

Once again a great lesson! A lot of useful information. Some people were calling me Romek, instead of Roman in Poland. I kinda liked that.😃 Djenkuje serdecznie!

[@polishwithblondes]

Dziękuję!

Your examples of diminutives for _torba_ like _torebka,_ _torebeczka,_ and _torebunia_ are great! I wanted to add that there was another diminutive historically used in Polish: *„torbeczka”.* This form appears in the _Słownik Języka Polskiego_ edited by Witold Doroszewski. The dictionary references a fragment: _"Wziął swoją torbeczkę podróżną i powiedział jej, że tu musi wysiąść."_ The source is cited simply as *„Bał. Dziady 230. // SWil”.* It took some digging, but I discovered that this likely refers to *Michał Bałucki* and his novel _„Pańskie Dziady”._ In the 1927 edition available on Polona, this passage appears on *page 288,* not 230 as indicated in the dictionary. I thought this was an interesting historical detail worth sharing!

[@RealityCheck6T9]

Finally someone teaching Polish in English!

This was great! I've heard something about this already from colleagues and read it in the phrasebook but it's nice to get a lesson regarding this topic. Looking forward to the next lesson! Na razie!

[@polishwithblondes]

Bardzo dziękuję, cieszę się!

[@אוריהלר-ס3ט]

Fascinating! Thank you

Dziękuję Zuzanka!

Wydaje mi się, że z każdym korzystaniem zdrobnienia cena musi się zmniejszyć o złotówkę. Kiedy drożdżówka kosztuje 4zł, to malutka drożdżóweczka musi kosztować 2.

[@polishwithblondes]

No właśnie, tak powinno być! Ale drożdżóweczki nadal po 4 złote..

Thanks for the lesson! A dear Polish friend of mine is named Ewa, and I would love to know the diminutive ways of her name. If you could help me I would appreciate it immensely :)

[@polishwithblondes]

Of course, it could be: Ewunia or Ewcia (but be careful, not everyone is fond of their names in the diminutive version

[@LeoDT9]

@@polishwithblondes Thank you! I appreciate it very much!

[@aymanrammal1532]

Thank you! Very clear video. From my experience in L'viv, Ukraine, many words are in Polish, as it was part of the Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth with a large Polish population. So many words are so familiar from your video. I heard them in shops and villages. I think Ukrainian took a lot of Polish words into its daily use. Is there any like general diminutive form to address family members, like cousins (older mostly), grandma, older people generally (but relatives), or in Poland you just use their names in general with some other word (like dear cousin)?

[@polishwithblondes]

You could say, for example: babciu, babuniu, ciociu, cioteczko, kuzyneczko (the last two not that common though)

[@aymanrammal1532]

​@@polishwithblondes Thats cool! I liked the last one, thx!

[@davidwright7205]

With the maly example, I see the dimunitive form loses the dash over the l. Do you know why ?

[@polishwithblondes]

this change happens sometimes: biały - bielutki cały - calutki wesoły - wesolutki also: wesoły - weselszy - najweselszy

[@vachechochia]

Dear Zuzanka,how can i reach you directly? I am interested if you provide personal or small group online tuition. Thank you for your response & time

[@polishwithblondes]

Hi! Sorry for the late reply. You can message me on this email address: [e-mail] ( the gmail name? Don't ask :D )

[@xhbn2157]

Can’t wait to annoy my wife with this once I have it memorised. Generalnie, nie rozmawiamy po polsku (mój polski jest bardzo słaby), ale od czasu do czasu lubię trochę dezorientować :D

[@polishwithblondes]

Haha, świetnie!

[@Adammoeni]

We don't currently have individual lessons, but there are many lessons you might find useful on our channel :)

[@lionspride8012]

My girlfriend calls me Skarbie. Is Skarbie more for man, or can it be used on woman too? I call her Kochanie.

[@polishwithblondes]

'Skarbie' (treasure) can be used for both :)

[@user-dx5wt1hx9t]

Why address a woman as "little frog" ? 😂 from the perspective of another culture, this sounds so wrong... no, thank you, I never want to be called that 😂 that sunshine was better 🥲

[@polishwithblondes]

:D I wouldn't know.. that's just what some people like to use :)
