Help[Opinions] Re: Zofia
in reply to a message by Anonymous
Zofia is nice! I more like Sofya / Sof’ya (so-fyah)
I like Zosha (I think it more common Zosia)
Do Zofka / Zośka work in your Slavic country?
Svetlana also is nice name! Świetlana seem cool :)
I also like Svitlana and Sviatlana / Śviatlana / Śviatłana / Svyatlana

Thank you :). In Poland, Zosha is not common than Zosia, in fact I’ve never met anyone with that name lol.
I’ve never heard of diminutive Zofka, but Zośka is a rude way to address a Zofia unless you know her REALLY well. :)

I mean more common form is Zosia, sorry I do not english good :)
-śka diminutive is like our version -shka I assumed, which is for mostly young child / your lover / demeaning

That's alright, English is not my strong language either haha
Our ending of śka is considered quite rude in any situation, it can be used for a child to scold them! XD
by the way, are you Russian or Ukrainian? :)

I native speak Surzhyk (Russian-Ukrainian mix language)
Other Russian speaker tell me I speak weird Russian (because we do thing like say ворог > враг, полон > плен and место is place, but also city)
What do you native speak?

I natively speak Polish! English is my second language.
Never heard of Surzhyk, it sounds really interesting and fun to learn
