Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

You can use the term for a young bear « un ourson » or for a teddy bear « un nounours ». Masculine diminutives – suffixes to denote a smaller version of a noun – can vary from noun to noun. The term « ourson » does use a diminutive « -on ».

(Coincidentally the person who answered this question of turning the word « ours » into a cute nickname has the word ‘bear’ in his username and has the profile picture of a bear)
