speak ukranian?

[vass0922]

My wife was told a word that her friend needs to find the definition to.

What does "Kasha?" mean in ukranian?

spelling maybe off,but its something like that lol

After entering the terms 'kasha' & 'ukrainian' in Google, and having a look at the results it seems kasha is 'buckwheat'.

I don't know anything about Ukrainian, but in Polish kasza means grits (grain).

sounds like some sort of grain is your best bet

Hmm her dad (ukranian) says "kashka" is grain, but maybe there is a dialect in there that maybe a confusion.

See the thing is, her friends grandma called him kasha when he was a child and he wanted to know what it meant. Maybe there is a another usage of the word. I thought maybe Golden Boy or something lol

(wheat being gold)

Or there could be a spelling thing in there as well... *shrug* the world may never know


Thanks for the info!!

"Kashka" is the same as "Kasha", it's just a way of saying the word more gently, grandmas like to speak that way. And if her name ends with "ka", she had quite good reason to call her this way
