RE: Fledermaus!

in GEMS29 days ago

I absolutely lvoe the name fledermaus. I call butterflies 'flutterbys' which I think is similiarly cute. I think this little bat came at a good time for you! How precious to have chance to care for, and observe, such a lovely creature.

Sort:  

German "fledermaus" and its Old English derivation "fitter-mouse" are so much more fun than just "bat."

There are some very, very cute words in German, like kartoffelpuffer. Well, they sound like it to an English speaker anyway.
