Talk:apina

RFV discussion: January–March 2022
Finnish. Rfv-sense: "ape". Tagged by, but not listed. I think this is readily citeable, but it should be considered informal or at least inexact. &mdash; S URJECTION / T / C / L / 12:14, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
 * It's actually harder than I think to find cites, because it's impossible to tell them apart from ones where it means "monkey". &mdash; S URJECTION / T / C / L / 16:17, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
 * There's no 1:1 relationship between Finnish and English terminology here. In zoology apina means any simian, including humans. In everyday language apina is understood to refer to any non-human simian. In English "monkey" can be used similarly but not "ape", which normally refers only to the most human-like simians, which the Finnish may call ihmisapina but usually don't, using mere apina instead. I'll try to write a clarifying usage note. --Hekaheka (talk) 12:21, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
