merilahna
Finnish
Etymology
meri (“sea”) + lahna (“bream”)
Noun
merilahna
Usage notes
The common names for fish are often confusing and merilahna (lit. "sea bream") is a good example of that. The English term sea bream is used primarily of fish in the family Sparidae, which are hammasahven (lit. "tooth-perch") in Finnish, but also of fish in family Bramidae, also known as pomfrets in English and pomfretti in Finnish.
