Etymology
[edit]From кали́на (kalína, “guelder rose”) + -ка (-ka), probably due to similarity between the typically red elytra of the beetle (although not all ladybugs are red) and the berries of the shrub.
Pronunciation
[edit]Noun
[edit]кали́нка • (kalínka) f
- ladybird (UK), ladybug (US) (beetle of family Coccinellidae)
- Synonyms: (poetic) божа́ буба́лка (božá bubálka), (dialectal) бубама́ра (bubamára), (dialectal) кукума́ра (kukumára)
Usage notes
[edit]Poetically, the insect is often called кали́нка-мали́нка (kalínka-malínka), dialectally ка́ля-ма́ля (kálja-málja), which literally translates as guelder rose berry-raspberry.
