  2. The thrush nightingale (sprosser), Luscinia luscinia.
  3. A commonly, and erroneously, used name of etelänsatakieli, the common nightingale, nightingale or rufous nightingale, Luscinia megarhynchos.

Usage notes

[edit]

"Nightingale" is often translated into Finnish as satakieli. This is technically an error, since the bird called nightingale in English is a southern species and does not normally appear in Finland. The bird called satakieli in Finland is thrush nightingale in English.
