• Rhymes: -ɑhnɑ
• Hyphenation^(key): meri‧lahna

Noun

merilahna

1. 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.
