Polish Children's Word of the Year: Celebrating Linguistic Creativity

Poland's "Children's Word of the Year" contest highlights the linguistic creativity of children. This year's winners, announced by Teleexpress TVP, showcase the playful and inventive ways children adapt language. The top three words were 'śrubatek' (a child's word for screwdriver), 'matkowa insurekcja' (a humorous term for 'mother's rebellion' or 'female intuition'), and 'haukować' (a child's word for barking). The contest, now in its fifth year, celebrates the unique linguistic landscape of children's language. As one organizer stated, "It's a celebration of their imagination and how they use language in such a fun and creative way." These words offer a glimpse into the vibrant and evolving world of children's language, reflecting their unique perspective and creativity.
