Bulgarian term or phrase: чуденка

Голямата ми чуденка е,че пишат за бромелаин и папаин като проблемни за деца(на тази информация съм попадала и в други източници,които казват,че децата не трябва да консумират ананас и папая).

Всеки път, като опитам да предложа помощ, горчиво съжалявам - голяма говорилня става и всички се втурват да ме учат на английски! Затова рядко го правя.

Apology accepted, James.

As to posting in English, I'm practically bilingual, so it's just as easy, if not easier, for me as in Bulgarian. :)

I admire you for posting in English. I would never dare to post in Bulgarian for fear of embarrassing myself.

I gave you the idea here, you can refine it to your liking all you like. What's that nitpicking all about? I'd say it's rather rude.
"Not entirely colloquial"! Love that! "Entirely" wonderful!

Съгласен съм, езикът не е цимент, но "put" просто не се използва в случая.

Май че всички сме ходили на училище, даже и нашите родители. Като малки... Ама ми е чудно, как може в различни региони да сме се чудили с "питанки"? Просто сега питам. И се чудя. Без "питанка". ... ;-) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIPan-rEQJA

А по времето когато моите родители са ходели на училище, така са наричали въпросителния знак. Каква сладка дума е изместена от някакъв бездушен термин на всичко отгоре от две думи!

Просто между децата това беше шеговита думичка за въпросителната.

Не откривам топла вода, но как така "чуденка?" е "питанка?"? Чудом се чудя....- регионална особеност или нещо друго? ... ;-)
