Post by foryoureyesonly »

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

Thank you in advance for your kind replies.

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

czech = méda [médya] (medved = bear)
slovak = macko [matsko] (medved = bear)

But I know your heart belongs to someone you’ve yet to meet
Someday you will be loved

hello,
didine wrote:Estonian: kaisukarhu
correction: i belive it is karu, and the translations is not really accurate....i`d suggest: mesikäpp, karuott, karumõmm, mõmmik, mängukaru...all of these are colloquial.

didine wrote:Russian: мишка
correction: the translation is inaccurate, the more suitable variant would be плюшевый медвежонок , игрушечный мишка.

cheers
