Pronunciation
- IPA(key): /ˈmeriˌlɑhnɑ/, [ˈme̞riˌlɑ̝xnɑ̝]
- Rhymes: -ɑhnɑ
- Syllabification(key): me‧ri‧lah‧na
- Hyphenation(key): meri‧lahna
Noun
merilahna
- Any fish of the genus Brama, the pomfrets, in the family Bramidae.
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.
