editNoun
edit金剛鸚哥 or 金剛鸚哥 • (kongō inko) ←こんがういんこ (kongauinko)?
- macaw
- more specifically, the Ara macao or scarlet macaw
Usage notes
editAs with many terms that name organisms, this term is often spelled in katakana, especially in biological contexts (where katakana is customary), as コンゴウインコ. The kana spelling appears to be the most common for this term in general contexts as well, possibly due to the rarity of the kanji for inko.
Synonyms
edit- (scarlet macaw): 赤金剛鸚哥 (aka kongō inko)
