What is the Italian translation of the English phrase 'a little bear'?

Answer 1

Un'orsetta and un'orsina in the feminine and un orsetto and un orsino in the masculine are Italian equivalents of the English phrase "little bear."

Specifically, the feminine singular definite article una* and the masculine un are "a, an." The feminine noun orsa and the masculine orso respectively mean "female bear" and "male bear." The feminine endings -etta and -ina and the masculine -etto and -ino translate as "dear, little, small, sweet." The respective pronunciations will be "OO-nor-SET-ta" and "OO-nor-SEE-na" in the feminine and "OO-nor-SET-to" and "OO-nor-SEE-no" in the masculine.

*The final vowel drops - and is replaced by an apostrophe - before a noun whose spelling begins with a vowel.

Answer 2

Uccellina in the feminine and uccellino in the masculine are Italian equivalents of the English phrase "little bird".

Specifically, the word uccello means "bird". The feminine suffix -ina and the masculine -ino translate as "little". The pronunciation will be "OOT-tchehl-LEE-nah" in the feminine and "OOT-tchehl-LEE-noh" in the masculine.
