Mister 'Sowanso' pod tymze nazwiskiem, kryje sie gra slowek. To jest
'jakis-tam-ktos'.
Myslalam nad wariantem sow-and-so lub sow-and-sow, niestety nie znajduje pod
tym wariantem tlumaczenia w slowniku.

Jest to postac z mojej pierwszej czytanki z ang. i moja english teacher

fonetyczna ?!

Maybe you can help me ?

thank you so much ;-))

NO! So wan = so weak/sickly/feeble...

I wouldn't go by spelling here. As always in such case it is the pronuciation that matters, so it is obviously 'so-and-so'.

so-and-so (NAMELESS PERSON) /"s@U.@nd.s@U, "[e-mail]/ noun [U] informal
used instead of a particular name to refer to someone or something, esp. when the real name is not important or you have forgotten it
She always keeps me up to date with the latest gossip - you know, so-and-so from down the road is having a baby and so-and-so's just bought a car.
