"cık" is not a proper word..it is a sound you should create with your tongue, while tossing your chin up, in one abrupt motion...in Turkish body language, this means "no"
"çık" may mean either "climb up" or "get out"
"çik" has no meaning that I am aware of
"Cık" or "cik" or "çik" by themselves they have no meanings..but take words like,
kitap.....kitap+cık = kitapcık = small kitap
hediye....hediye+cik= hediyecik= small hediye
Ahmet.....Ahmet+çik = Ahmetçik = little Ahmet

Thanks for the explanation. That probably explains why I could'nt find it in any dictionary.

Quoting mltm: yes, good point! though I don^'t think people call their fathers like "babacık" |
According to:
http://www.turkishlanguage.co.uk/nouns.htm
"You can often hear children crying - babacığım - (my) daddy or anneciğim - (my) mummy."
I only learnt this suffix today which is why it is fresh in my mind. Although it was "köpeçik" (puppy) that I especially remembered!

"Babişko".
Some people, especially little girls, sometimes addresses babişko to their fathers. it is used in the sense of "Babacığım.". But I don't recommend this since it doesn't look a real word. It may be fictitius word.

For some reason, "babacık" includes "pity" while "babacığım" includes "fondness"...dont ask me why.
