Moja ty żabko! Moja myszko! It looks like Polish couples love animals! Posted by on Sep 3, 2013 in Nature, Phrases

I bet all of you know the story about the princess and the frog! Well, most of you probably heard that you have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find your prince! I met my prince and stayed with “Kochanie” (honey). However if you meet your Polish prince/princess, you will find it pretty common when he/she calls you little froggy/fish/mouse and similar pet names…This is actually really sweet way of calling your loved one!

In Poland, terms of endearment are often animal related and calling someone teddy bear, kitten froggie, baby tiger or mouse is quite normal.

Perhaps you will like kotku (little kitty)?

 

Or you may like to call you baby rybko (fish)?

 

How about myszko (little mouse)?

 

Króliczku (my little rabbit) will work as well…

Misiu/Misiaczku (My little teddy bear) is used quite often as well

 

 

And what how do you call person you love?

 

Do następnego razu… (Till next time…)

About the Author: Kasia

My name is Kasia Scontsas. I grew near Lublin, Poland and moved to Warsaw to study International Business. I have passion for languages: any languages! Currently I live in New Hampshire. I enjoy skiing, kayaking, biking and paddle boarding. My husband speaks a little Polish, but our daughters are fluent in it! I wanted to make sure that they can communicate with their Polish relatives in our native language. Teaching them Polish since they were born was the best thing I could have given them! I have been writing about learning Polish language and culture for Transparent Language’s Polish Blog since 2010.
