Help with Russian

[Chuckie]

I have a Russian friend who's decided she's going start calling me "Joechik" instead of "Joe" When I ask her what this means, she laughs. Now the little Russian that I know tells me that the "chik" part means "young" (malchik), Anyway, she tells me that's not what it means, but doesn't tell me anything else.

I'm not young or Tiny so what the hell does it mean when you put "chik" at the end of someones name. It's driving me nuts..

yes its a kind of minimization

Maybe she's refering to your cod-piece? :lol:

Ask for a rematch, and see what's her reaction afterwards :lol:

It isn't and besides she hasn't seen it. I'm very tall, so maybe she's being sarcastic. That's the only thing I can think of.

I believe it means some along the lines of "man, person, people" Like the after part of describing someone. Avto-mat'chik' which means machine gun 'person' possibly. Ask PermiskiiOMON, I think he's Russian.

First it rhymes with 'rabbit'. More like a baby rabbit. The way a child would say it.
Second the 'chick' postpendix doesn't mean 'small' or similar

She's bassicly traying to be nice and kind. For example you'd call a cute baby, like that.

damn't it's hot, so i'm not making a lot of sense prrbbbly

just give her a good old (phonetics): spasebo, yobanaya suka (or try - or bliad) - otyebis ot menya and a huge grin! Non the less, she will appreciate the jesture and your attempt to communicate in her native tongue. I imagine she will be thrilled.

Good luck.

Thanks for the responses, I don't feel so bad now.
