    I mean it only works with nouns that are not ending on vowels and also not every noun works good. But I heard this from people all over Germany. Mostly in a mocking way, like someone was eating too much and complaining about stomach pain:
    “Oh, tut dir der Bauchi weh?”

    Other commonly used examples I can think of:

    • Lurch - Lurchi (amphibian)
    • Frisch - Froschi (frog)
    • Hund - Hundi (dog)
    • Mutter/Vater/Oma/Opa - Mutti/Vati/Omi/Opi (mom, dad, grandma, grandpa)
