Jeżyk - crewcut

[mcibor]

Hi all,

How do you call a short cut hair that's similar to grass / hedgehog in your language?
I attached a photo of such hair cut, found on google.

In Polish it's called jeżyk (a small hedgehog)

I need it for a friend, who has similar (only even longer) haircut.

Thanks in advance!

In english, at least on a man, it is called a crewcut. I'm not sure if it is on a woman.

 

[mcibor]

Friend is male.
Thanks!

What about other languages?
How is crewcut called in them?

 

[Goddaughter]

In Russian it is exactly the same as jeżyk.
We call it ёжик, and it's a small hedgehog too

 

[kusurija]

In Czech:
Na ježka
ježek=hedgehog
Sometimes also
trávník=lawn(sward)

In Lithuanian:
Ežiukas=small hedgehog

In Hebrew:

קוצים - It means "spikes". (kots-im)

 

[jazyk]

I think in Brazil we just say cabelo espetado (literally prickly hair). Maybe cabelo de ouriço (hedgehog hair) could be used as well.

In Esperanto, this hairstyle is called broshararo or erinachararo. The first comes from the word broso (brush) and the second from erinaco (hedgehog).

WOW. Thanks all for your input!

בעל-חלומות, kots-im is the pronunciation?

Jazyk, How do you pronounce "b" in cabelo? As Polish "w" or Polish "b"?

 

[Outsider]

As a Polish "b", I believe.

 

[Kanes]

In Bulgarian we just say on needles - na igli, or if it is very short аrmeiska - army's.

WOW. Thanks all for your input!

בעל-חלומות, kots-im is the pronunciation?

Kotsim is קוצים in the Latin alphabet. The stress is on the last syllable.

The hairstyle of the woman in the photo linked to in the first post is not called a crewcut in English.

In Wikipedia there's an article (with photo) where you can see what a crewcut is.

I'm not an expert on hairstyles but the above photo looks to me like it's from the mid to late 1980s. When I was a kid back then, having your hair that way was called a "spike", although it wasn't very common amongst females.

Hi Jotro

I just couldn't find a photo that matches exactly what I need.
My friend is male and has pointy upward hair.

This looks similar to spikes or hedgehog.
Did name "spikes" refer also to men?

 

[Hakro]

In Finnish it's called pystytukka, erect hair.

Is your friend's pointy upward hair something like this?

Hi mcibor,

Yes, "spike" was also used to refer to that hairstyle on males, at least where I live.

But I guess the only way we could find the exact term to describe your friend's hair is if you put a photo of it (with his permission, of course).

I guess in Romanian is called periuţă (little brush), but I think that the hair is shorter than the one in the picture.

 

[Nanon]

French: être coiffé en brosse, avoir les cheveux en brosse (like a brush).
