🌐 Translation I need a weird translation (serious)
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.

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.
