Episode 89: Peace! Julia Tutko-Balena Download Spoko! English Phonemes: “SPOH-koh” Literal Translation: Peace! English Equivalents: Cool. Calm down. Take it easy. “Spoko” is awesome and full of nuance and history. It’s one of my favorite words. Here’s a quick breakdown of what it is and how to use it. Firstly, it’s slang, shortened from the words in the definition section below. Caveat — I have not been in Poland, and I certainly don’t know what the cool kids are doing with the language these days, but Google Translate defined this word as “cool”, which is accurate but not comprehensive. I want to add depth so you fully appreciate how awesome this word really is :-) Second, this word is never used like “peace” is as a hippie greeting. You can only use it… as a button to a conversation where you and your friends agree on something, or to try to calm someone down when they appear agitated. Spoko = cool, calm, peaceful [slang noun, shortened version of “spokojnie”] Spokój = calm, peace [noun, s.] Pokój = peace (also “room” - yay homonyms!) [s. noun] Spokojnie = calmly [adv.] Email us!
