oo-voh-da or oo-voh-na

[AnnoLuce]

In Polish, is there a word that is pronounced either oo-voh-da or oo-voh-na - I wrote it down in my notes but i wrote it phentically and now I can't remember how it's spelt to look up in my dictionary again.

Well, from what you have written, the word is either "uwoda" or "uwona", but neither sounds correct.

uwoda sounds like woda - water
uwona sounds like Iwona - a Polish female name

Hey!

The word you might be looking for could be "ugoda".
"Ugoda" means a agreement, settlement or transaction
The word "uroda" (=beauty, good looks) is another possibility.

Hope that my reply refreshed your memory and was of some help

A word "ochota" is also a possibility.
Just depends on what sounds you meant writing it phonetically, as you did not use an english phonetic transcription...

And maybe it is "ułuda" (deception, delusion) from verb "łudzić się" (deceive oneself, delude oneself) ??

ułuda? I doubt really. It's been clearly written by AnnoLuce that it has "v" sound in the second syllable. Otherwise, it must have been written "oo-woh-da" I guess.

AnnoLuce - could you write the context of that word, please?
