Finnish
Etymology
villi (“wild”) + kissa (“cat”)
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): /ˈʋilːiˌkisːɑ/, [ˈʋilːiˌk̟is̠ːɑ̝]
- Rhymes: -isːɑ
- Syllabification(key): vil‧li‧kis‧sa
- Hyphenation(key): villi‧kissa
Noun
villikissa
- wild cat, Felis silvestris
- (colloquial) feral cat (domestic cat returned to the wild)
Usage notes
- A feral cat may also be called villiintynyt kissa in order to avoid confusion with Felis silvestris. Neither of the two is a constant member of the Finnish fauna. The feral cats usually die during their first winter of freedom.
