Polish term
Duszek
Proszę Państwa o poradę. Tłumaczę bajkę, w której występuje postać Duszka. Jest to oczywiście postać pozytywna, mieszka w tęczowej krainie.
Zastanawiałem się nad "fairy", ale nie wiem czy fairy nie będzie się kojarzyło z "wróżką", a na ilustracjach tęczowy duszek wygląda bardziej jak Kasper The Friendly Ghost.
I teraz pytanie, czy decydować się na ghost (który niekoniecznie kojarzy mi się pozytywnie) czy jednak "fairy"? Czy może jakieś inne określenie. Są oczywiście inne określenia typu "brownie" itp, ale one też mi nie pasują gdyż duszek z bajki, którą tłumaczę umie latać.
z góry dziękuję za pomoc

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

: Podoba mi się Raimbow Genie, ale skoro wymyślił to Arnold Nelson, czy nie byłoby problemów po przywłaszczeniu tej nazwy?

A sprite is a supernatural legendary creature. They are often depicted as fairy, ghost and/or elf-like creatures.[1]
The word "sprite" is derived from the Latin "spiritus" (spirit). Variations on the term include "spright" (the origin of the adjective "sprightly", meaning "spirited" or "lively") and the Celtic "spriggan". The term is chiefly used in regard to elves and fairies in European folklore, and in modern English is rarely used in reference to spirits or other mythical creatures
