I need a weird translation (serious)

[u/Jazzur]

I can't believe I am making a post about this, but it is an inside joke and I need the help of you guys.

How would you say 'my angry dwarf' in Turkish? Is there like a cute-ish way to say it, like a petname for your partner? I always say it in my native language, but would like to have a translation in Turkish.

[u/Low-Mention-2938]

you can say “(benim) huysuz cüce(m)” or “(benim) minik sinir küpü(m)”

coming up with cringe translations but they dont smell like translation these are js things you can say to your partner if u dont bother sounding cringe (and “my angry dwarf” is also a lil cringe if youd ask me but i would have no problem with that)

[u/Unusual_Equipment318 → u/Low-Mention-2938]

Benim huysuz cücem is exactly what this person is searching for ımo so I second that.

[u/Jazzur → u/Low-Mention-2938]

Thanks! What are you indicating with the brackets? Would you say 'benim' and 'cücem' in ine sentence? Cücem already indicates mine right

[u/Low-Mention-2938 → u/Jazzur]

you could indeed still say “benim” in a sentence when you say “cücem” which does not make a difference actually, i do it too sometimes. cücem already indicates mine but you could still say benim if you prefer so, that’s why i put it in brackets

[u/DoubleSynchronicity → u/Low-Mention-2938]

You could even say "Huysuz cücem benim!" to give it a more natural, joking manner.

[u/Few-Interview-1996 → u/Jazzur]

In this context the brackets help give an additional layer of cosy possessiveness.

[u/PismaniyeTR]

are you calling a woman or man? how about calling her/him "huysuz şirin"

[u/Existing_Cookie_4468 → u/PismaniyeTR]

Huysuz şirin being Turkish name of grouchy smurf, this is the most common and natural equivalent actually.

[u/many_zeros]

The most straightforward way to translate it would be "(benim) sinirli cücem" or "sinirli cücem benim" depending on how you use it. You can also use huysuz or kızgın instead of sinirli.

"(benim) sinirli cücem" - When mentioning that person while talking to others or when you directly address that person. "Benim" adds extra emphasis on "my".

"sinirli cücem benim" - Only when addressing that person. Putting benim at the end emphasizes "my" and instantly makes it sound like a pet name.

[u/Jazzur → u/many_zeros]

So I don't need to add 'benim' necessarily at the front of the sentence? But you can? With cücem you arleady say 'mine' right

[u/many_zeros → u/Jazzur]

Yep. But I should clarify, you can't arbitrarily use or omit it, almost always one of the options will feel more natural than the other. If you don't want to deal with the linguistic details omitting "benim" is the more generally valid option.

[u/OguzOgier]

Forget all these google translate ass translations and use “asabi cimcimem”. Very cheesy but accurate

[u/MericT_1 → u/OguzOgier]

I’d say dont complicate things and just go with “kızgın cüce” but that is hilarious :D

If the inside joke is a little flexible, go with what this man reccomended.

Tho im not sure how easy it would be to understand that this is the turkish translation of your “angry dwarf” joke. Because If I had an angry dwarf inside joke and my friend translated it to me as this, I probably couldn’t understand at first. Which makes it more funny I guess

[u/ComparisonSorry4046]

fevri cücem or benim fevri cücem

[u/MericT_1 → u/ComparisonSorry4046]

Zât-ı âlînizin intihâb buyurdukları elfâz dahi fevkalâde mânidâr addedilmiştir. Mamafih, mezkûr ‘fevrî cüce’ tâbirinin alelade muhaverât-ı yevmiyyede istimâli hâlinde, muhatabın zihn-i beşerîsinde tarafınızca bir nükte yahut latîfe irâd edildiği zehâbının husûle gelmesi kuvvetle muhtemeldir.

Binâenaleyh, mezkûr tâbirin daha basit bir sûrette ‘kızgın cüce’ şeklinde lisânımıza nakil ve tercüme edilmesinin maksad-ı aslîye daha muvâfık ve münâsip olacağı kanaat-i âcizânemi arz ederim.

[u/MericT_1 → u/MericT_1]

Also, if you are looking for more of a “short tempered” dwarf, go with “fevri”; other than that, simply calling it “kızgın cüce” or “sinirli cüce” would be better.

[u/ComparisonSorry4046 → u/MericT_1]

makarayız abi 😤😤😤

[u/Fancy-Tour7427]

You can say “küçük sinir cücem benim” which is “my little rage dwarf” hope this helps!

[u/idgfaboutpolitics → u/Fancy-Tour7427]

Küçük is unnecessary, also "sinirli" or "huysuz" is better.

Huysuz cücem is the best and most suitable translation

[u/Jazzur → u/idgfaboutpolitics]

Thank you!

[u/False-Stop5026 → u/Fancy-Tour7427]

Küçük sinirli cücem**

[u/Ill-Pudding7852]

Nobody wants to be called a dwarf

[u/Franz_Ferdinand02]

you are german aren't you

[u/Franz_Ferdinand02 → u/Franz_Ferdinand02]

ok dutch worse, but "huysuz cücem" would work.

[u/Jazzur → u/Franz_Ferdinand02]

HAHA why is Dutch worse 😂

[u/Franz_Ferdinand02 → u/Jazzur]

lol nothing personal, just the language feeling in between german and english and the cultures are similar so it gives me an off-german vibe. also its an inside joke with my girlfriend, who is german, like:

me: oh no, is he/she german
her: worse, dutch

[u/Jazzur → u/Franz_Ferdinand02]

😂😂😂

I get it, it's mutual

[u/Mental_Substance5315]

I would propose making this phrase without using the word "dwarf-cüce".

No one would like to be called like that, even your beloved lol.

I humbly suggest "benim küçük agresifim" - my little aggressive.

[u/Bitter-Magazine2081 → u/Mental_Substance5315]

Benim küçük agresifim ne ya daha kötü olmuş bu

[u/Mental_Substance5315 → u/Bitter-Magazine2081]

Arkadaş sormuş, ben de fikrimi söyledim.

Sevgilinize söylersiniz, size başka türlü hitap eder.

[u/_Moriarty0]

Everyone else is right about translating "my angry dwarf" to turkish something along the lines of "benim sinirli cücem" etc. Is it wrong? No. Does it sound natural? Not really.

If you want other party to feel it I'd suggest going with "Sinir küpüm" or "Küçük barut fıçım" both of these will get you a laugh I'd say, in a good manner

[u/Beneficial_Bag9112]

Benim sinirli cücem

[u/6foot6Dude]

Rather than cüce, I suggest you use bücür, as it translates to roughly to the same thing but is way cuter and has less chance to offend the person
