Podíval se na ni a zkameněl. Měla krásné košíčky. Tolik ji chtěl políbit, ale jak mohl. Nemohl. Překonával svou touhu. A náhle zmizela, vypařila se do neznáma, Tolik toužil po těch jejich nádherných košíčcích……

disagree  Radka Crossley: teat is more of a nipple or animal's "vemeno", as well as a cap on a baby's bottle, and it somehow sounds vulgar in this context

boobies


Explanation:
Just an idea. Most dictionaries still have it as vulgarism but I don't think it's considered to be one anymore.

disagree  Radka Crossley: That's baby talk and I can't imagine a man referring to breasts by that term. Boobs perhaps...

  -> Well, I believe that baby talk would be titties rather than boobies.
neutral  Elizabeth Spacilova: Radka is right. Boobies is vulgar child talk. And titties, that's Bennie Hill.

breasts


Explanation:
If that is what kosicky is supposed to mean. Boobies is for kids. If its poetry "breasts" is the most romantic. Otherwise you have "mounds", "bolders", "kahonies", and I can go on and on (the dirty old pervert that I am...)

agree  trent2101: yeah, translating this as "breasts" would change the meaning. The word definitely isn´t neutral and I´ve never heard any man refer to breasts using this word, so you should keep this word as weird as it sounds in the original...
