Koiritta

Koiritta is a Finnish term that translates to "dog-like" or "dog-like behavior." It is often used colloquially to describe animals that exhibit traits commonly associated with dogs, such as loyalty, playfulness, or a strong bond with humans. While the term specifically refers to a canine resemblance, it can also be used more broadly to describe any creature that displays affectionate or social tendencies reminiscent of domestic dogs. The exact connotation of koiritta can vary depending on the context, but it generally carries a positive or neutral sentiment. It is not a scientific classification but rather a descriptive adjective used in everyday language in Finland. The term can be applied to various animals, from other canids like foxes to even some domesticated animals that display strong social bonds.
