Thread: лишько

I see this word used something like a continuative conjuntion: "By the way, I have for you a beg....". Лишько, у меня тебе просьба
Looking the meaning of лишько / лишь ко I find:
1) лишь ко + D. This obviously isn't the case.
2) And this other meaning: "Лишько, у меня тебе просьба" . But I don't find this word in dictionaries, however there are many times in the net. Is it a diminutive of лишь , like "a little while", "a little thing" ?
Other close possible words like личко doesn't exist at all. Thanks

I guess it's "Слышь-ка..." It's colloquial form of "Послушай-ка..." it translates something like "Well, listen..."

Thank you.

у меня к тебе просьба

Thank you.

Maybe, "Лёшка, у меня к тебе просьба"?
Лёшка - Алексей, Алёша, Лёша, Лёшка. diminutive masculine name

Thank you, but the name of the person addressed is Лилия so the previous solution will fit more. Good day.

Couldn't then it be "Лиличка" (diminitive)? But in that case it must be pronounced very quickly and unclear

Perhaps, but I hear rather лишько / лышь-ка. Furthermore (it's a mоther speaking with her daughter) the person is addressed many times as Лилия. Thank you.

Малышка!

I have heard many times the word/s and it sounds more лышь-ка than otherwise. And if it makes sense...
Thank you.

I'm very intrigued. Audio again?

yes I support the request for an audio; otherwise it's just a guessing game
When I listen to languages I don't know well, I also am absolutely certain I hear something... often it turns out it's not it at all

Thank. Your are very kind. This is the link. It is in Book 2 4th edition

she says Лилечка which is a diminutive of Лиля, her daughter's name

Да, совершенно чётко говорит Лилечка. Чётко для русского уха, разумеется.

Thank you. I haven't heard it before.

Mom does not articulate all her words clearly, and "Лилечка" is one of them. But her pronounciation IS standard and very natural, so you should be prepared that most real people you'll meet will talk like that (i.e. not pronoucing clearly first or last sounds in some words).

It will get easier when your ear becomes attuned and your vocabulary expands. Right now you are trying to "guess" words, later you'll often know beforehand what a person can say (from the context).

Of course it's Лилечка, mom pronounce the name very clearly.
