Finnish[edit]
Etymology[edit]
sata (“hundred”) + kieli (“tongue”)
Noun[edit]
satakieli
- Any of the birds in genus Luscinia, in Finnish satakielet. Individual species are called robin, rubythroat, nightingale and bluethroat in English.
- The thrush nightingale (sprosser), Luscinia luscinia.
- A commonly, and erroneously, used name of etelänsatakieli, the common nightingale, nightingale or rufous nightingale, Luscinia megarhynchos.
Usage notes[edit]
"Nightingale" is often translated into Finnish as satakieli. This is an error, since the bird called nightingale in English is a southern species and does not normally appear in Finland. The bird called satakieli in Finland is thrush nightingale in English.
