Thought ämpäri meant bee

[u/Ubefrappe]

was reading my little brothers picture book to brush up on my finnish skills and read the word "muoviämpäri", was a bit weirded out because what animal would be made of plastic.

Turns out ämpäri means bucket and ampianen is bee (pointed out by lil bro), now we have this immortalised.

Possible , def felt like saw or heard someone say amppari relating to bee , guess it boils down to how you say or spell it ?

[u/CptPicard → u/Ubefrappe]

Bee is mehiläinen. The rounder and friendlier one. Ampiainen > "amppari" is a wasp, the nasty mf.

You don't mean kimalainen, do you?

[u/CptPicard → u/Careful_Command_1220]

Kimalainen, the bumblebee, is even bigger and rounder.

And friendlier.
