    Dzióbek means beak or bill.

    Is that the word you mean?

    thanks for the reply, but I suspect it has another (unrelated) meaning...

    My friend told me it can be used as a pet name for your other half or also if you're going to hit someone you can say you'll hit the beak of them!

    Aha... Now that makes more sense (the pet name)...

    Does your friend know a good reply (from a guy to a girl)?

    Thanks!

    well when I lived in Poland many moons ago I used to call my then gf Kohania (I know this is spelt wrong but it's how it's pronounced). I think it means darling, sweetie or something (at least I hope so, maybe thats why we split up!)

    Hi there, you can also say 'Kochanie Moja' which means 'My darling' or another one you can say is 'Skarbie'.
    My girlfriend calls me 'Misio' which I do not like since it means 'Bear' :eek:
    I am Irish and am with my girlfriend 2 years already, actually I live in Warsaw with her now but we will return to Ireland after Christmas. Its All Saints Day today 1st of November and my gf went to light candles and stuff at the graveyard with her family.

    It wasn't meant to poke fun at you, this a language forum, so the post was for the benefit of the other readers.

    "Dziubku" means more o less the same as "kochanie" o "misiu". It's the way we (polish girls) call people we care for / love.

    And "daj dziubka" means "give me a kiss" :)
