Yes maybe but I seldom hear Ours en peluche here. I often hear
Nounours or maybe Toutou (but that is specially for moppets or dolls).

in roman chars that would be "mischka" for the version didine proposed, and resp. "plyushevij medvejonok" and " igrushetchnij mischka"...

Yep, you're right. Actually there are many different way to transcribe Cyrillic letters: "linguistic" ones, and phonetic ones that vary, depending on the mother tongue of the person who does the transcription or that of the people the transcription is made for.

hmm, I agree...since my mother tongue is a slavic language (slovak) I tend to transcribe it more or less like slovaks would write it..

Dear Freelangers, how do you say 'teddy bear' in your language?

Thank you in advance for your kind replies.

In Basque language : felpazko hartz kume.

French : "ours" (which is also the word for a live "bear" or, if you want to be more specific, "ours en peluche")

Pour insister sur le côté "doudou" d'un ours en peluche, pourquoi pas tout simplement "nounours"?

Exactly Bernadette, in Italian, it is Orsacchiotto.

In Bulgarian, "teddybear" is :

мече = meche [metche]

diminutive form from :

мечка = mechka [metchka] = bear
