Okay, but who is the seamstress, because that costume is awesome and they don’t make themselves.
Oh right, now we’re claiming tardigrades are “biology”
…they are? They are literally living organisms with brains, legs, mouth etc… How does a tardigrade not fall into biology?
I suspect they may be making a joke that tardigrades are aliens.
Ahh gotcha
Fun fact, those are called “karhukainen” in Finnish. A direct (but loose) translation would be “bearly”, “bearlike” or something else bear related.
In English too, the colloquial name for tardigrades is “water bears” :D
German is “Bärtierchen”. Which is a cute version of bear animal.
Very loose. The finnish equivalent for those words would be “karhumainen”. I’m not sure there is a single-word translation for the “-kainen” suffix.
It doesn’t really work the same way “-mainen” does, it’s similar, but results in a word that has a more definite meaning.
“Lapsimainen” would mean childlike or childish, while “lapsukainen” only ever refers to an actual child in an endeared way (or if used to describe an adult, would be like saying “my sweet summer child” in english).
Tbf they are fascinating but also scary in a way
