"Το μικρό ζουζούνι."

Translation: The small bug.

[seniorhitler]

that letter is a Z, why am I hearing something like "j"?

[BookGuardian]

I searched a little.
Apparently is an duolingo audio thing.

[morvan82]

I checked on Forvo.com, and in the one example there the pronunciation there was the same as on Duolingo with the "ζ" being pronounced like the French "j" or the Russian "ж" and not like the English "z".

[G.Georgopoulos]

Depending on the speaker, it may vary from an English "z" sound to something in between, but it never purely makes the sound of the respective French and Russian letters.

[Nizzolle]

I learn this far the ζουζούνι is an insect. Why does it suddenly change to "bug"?

[Dimitra956826]

Technically, they mean the same thing in Greek, with έντομο being a bit more commonly used. However, it seems like ζουζούνι is the best translation. Was it not accepted for you?

[finnish.when]

It told me earlier that έντομο is bug/insect. What is the difference?

[LaurelForever]

Ζουζούνι is more informal, we can use it to make a joke or when we speak with a child. Έντομο is formal

[ghada696048]

ζ is pronounced z or j

[troll1995]

It is pronounced like z in zoo. So, ζουζούνι is like zoozoonee.

[SilverOwl2]

Could this mean "the small bug" as in the small computer program bug?

[jaye16]

Yes, it's also mentioned in other comments here.

[vmitsou]

You would not say ζουζούνι in the case of a computer program bug. You would use the english term bug or you would say σφαλμα (= fault)

"Το μικρό ζουζούνι" is also a term of endearment. "The little pumpkin" is the closest translation I can think of in this case, I don't know if it is (should be) accepted.
