Okay...so here it goes! Americans use everything..."honey, baby, sugar, sweet heart..." but what do those from The Republic call one another. Come on people, let's hear some mushy translations! Calvin
oh i cant wait to hear this.....come on people, Calvin & I are dying from the anticipation. My boyfriend and I are learning Czech and i would love to learn something to tell him and he has NO idea what i am saying....:mrgreen:
Love, little lover (literally, otherwise comparable to sweetheart), kitten, gold. You're right, nikdo. Fuj.
Should those be changed when saying them to a female? And, does anyone have any others to add please? There must be more out there... i.e. Honey, Sweetie, Darling, Gorgeous, Babe, Baby, etc... Thanks!
You say "fuj" ?! We say "fuj" ! Awh, these Slavic languages... :lol: How do you say "honey" in Czech ?
Hello Mr Morimaki, As Idemtidem pointed out we don`t. At least as far as the brute translation of this slushy, mushy, schmaltzy word goes. This is more about how you feel it or what a particular situation/context demands rather than about what it really means.
We say "zlato" too... but you say "zlato" to your grandchild, not to the one you're sleeping with... Anyway. I like "miláčku".
I think it's cute. My dad calls me "little mouse" sometimes. I find "honey" strange too if I translate it...since we don't use that in Czech. And I bet "gold" sounds pretty strange in English.
Yes, that makes sense that terms of endearment are different everywhere.... At least he doesn't call me a rat!!!
hi hi, yes I don't remember somebody call somebody -gold.... and I hate when they call me in the shops -love and here in australia older people would call you love....and I hate it! and honey is so misused, and more of a joke than a expression of dearness
..don't think German is a slavic language though, however some German words or expressions do indeed find their way into Czech language...... I've heard someone use the expression '''Brouku'' to call their partner. It's quite funny actually, meaning a little beatle, or cute beatle I guess.
Wow. That's true.. never thought of that... but, just for the record: Germans say "Pfui". German is not a Slavic language, of course... but you must know that there were times when Czech and German people shared one state, and also, there were times when Chech people, Austrians and Croats also shared a state, so it's no wonder our languages got a bit mixed up... I'll bet you there are also some Hungarian words in Czech language, and vice versa...
