"bumptious or cavalier"? Wow - those sound like words out of Shakespeare. My guess is that "hoÅŸÅŸik" is a combination of two words, "hoÅŸ", meaning "nice, pleasant", and "ÅŸik", meaning "chic", but I really don't know what they mean in combination. "Cheeky" is a word used in England (still), and I guess in North America we would say "capricious" or "coquettish", but I'm not 100% sure I understand the meaning.

At any rate, it needs to be translated. Also, the last sentence needs an article: "a virgin"

OK - after doing some more research I think the best translation might be something like "a brown-noser" or "a flatterer".

Hi kafetzou, I'm absolutely sure that it's not a combination, it has a meaning like flatterer as you say.

Of course it was a combination originally, but it has become a word with its own meaning now. Just like "hoşgörü".

I am sure that it's not a combination of hoş and şık. It's a special word itself

As I know , there isn't any word in Turkish as "hoşşık". It can be only "hoş şık".

No, there is a word like that. I don't know maybe it's an old word and it's difficult to find it in common dictionaries because it is a regional word, maybe mostly used in colloquial language but it exists. If you have a look at google, I'm sure you can find many things

Yes, I agree with cheesecake that it is a word that exists in regional dialects - check out sesli sözlük.

Dear friends,
There isn't any word as "hoşşık". You can check all dictionaries. You will not find it as "hoşşık". Because "hoş" and "şık" are adjectivies and they can't be together in same combination.

But it's not hoşşık it's hoşşik with "i", and I find many things about it when I write it on the search page on Google. It belongs to Adana dialect.

Even if it were as you said so, it sounds really weird when we say "X hoş şık mıdır? We don't ever say this in Turkish I think.

I don't know anything about hossik or hos sik but I do think that

X sence bakir/bakire midir?

should be translated as

DO YOU THINK(sence) X is a virgin?

Eylem14 I think you are exactly right

as you know ," hoÅŸÅŸik" is not in Turkish and it must be in Turkish not in Adana dialect.
We can say for X , is X "hoş" and "şık" ?

Eylem14 is definitely right - we all missed the "sence"!

OK, the last line was corrected, but what about that "hoÅŸÅŸik"?
Won't you all reach an agreement on that?

I spoke with some friends from Adana city . They said "Yes, it is in Adana dialect."
Therefore I agree with cheesecake and I will choose "right"
