Thread: Just the one word... "kotik"

Im not sure if this is a word or a name. But it's bugging me since a girl I know says to me...

"sladkih snov kotik"

I know the "sweet dreams" part, but the kotik part baffles me.

Any help, translations or possibilities of the meaning are appreciated.

Thanks

In cryllic it is written like this: Котик. This word is a diminutive from the word "кот" which means "cat."

Great! You have just put my mind at ease! that makes more sense now!

She loves cats

Many thanks for your prompt help

i tink she likes you

if she does, it'd make me a very very happy guy

it's a long story, and it's been very interesting... so let's see how it turns out

She probably uses it to express affection and endearmenet, if you are close. Удачи тебе! I wish you luck!

Котик= a little (male)cat, female one is киса/кыса, in this context it's like a "sweetheart".

Киска = pussy in both meaning. It depends on your naughtiness.

I thought so. But i wasn't sure. So it's like the english "pussy" then. it means "cat" and "..." yep.

But usually киска is just a little cat without any another context.

Kyle: Dude, what does the note say?
Stan: Holy crap! It says she wants to meet me at Stark's pond after school.
Kyle: Whoa! Maybe you can kiss her.
Cartman: Or slip her the tongue.
Kenny: Mhhmhmmmh
Stan: What? How do you know she has a cat?

Yeeeah - but it's usually, not always

In english "pussy" also means a wimpy guy (it's even in the dictionary as an official definition!"

If there was two guys who were going to fight, and one guy started to cry, people would call the cry baby a "pussy".

I Russian, that would be "щенок" (puppy).

I think it's not the same. Щенок is kinda "a young boy" but in a rude way.

a young boy asks a man:
- эй мужик, закурить есть?
- чё сказал, щенок!? ты как со старшими разговариваешь?

one guy's telling to another:
- иду вчера вечером домой, подходят два щенка с бейсбольными битами и говорят "пацан, дай 100 рублей"
- и чё, дал?
- ага, дал одному... в ухо, а второй сам убежал

There might be differences, but that is as close as it gets, in terms of animal names. As far as I can tell.

I beg to differ. As far as I get it, pussy means "слабак", "маменькин сынок" whereas щенок means "молокосос", "мальчишка". Щенок doesn't imply weakness or cowardice.

"- ага, дал одному... в ухо, а второй сам убежал" No weakness no cowardice?

Don't try to trick me ;) There's no connection.
It just means that in this particular case it turned out that the guy was not only a "слабак" but also a "щенок". You can't say that it's true in general. It's like I came up to a guy in a red jacket and asked "what time is it?" and he answered "don't know, I don't have a watch" and then I made a conclusion that guys in red jackets didn't have watch.
