There is not this name - "Mashenika"
Mashenka - Машенька
Thanks!
Can you call an adult Mashenka? or is Mashenka only for little girls?
Little girls, your girlfriend, your close friend, rarely your buddy (depends on relationship), your daughter, your sister (also depends on your relationship, if you feel well to call her such a caressing name), your secretary (if you're the boss) and... that's all I think.
Thanks!
Someone told me Mashenka is only for little girls. So that's not true, you can also use them for adults you are close to?
ps. I don't call anyone Mashenka. I'm just curious about the name.
'Buddy' usually means a male friend of a man :)Quote:
rarely your buddy
Absolutely.Quote:

Ну я знаю, я просто хз, как сказать это по отношению к девушке.Quote:

Buddy is usually for guys, that's right. But you can also use buddy for girls. It's alright to use buddy for a girl. Two guys can be buddies, two girls can be buddies, a guy and a girl can be buddies (of course only if the girl isn't sexy! :lol:).
Thanks for the help with the name Mashenka! :thumbs:
YES. Depends upon a situation.Quote:

Можно, кстати, посмотреть на мою подпись.
It's "my awful English".Quote:

So I repeat: Машеника is not a common Russian name.
