Kukkuu
Kukkuu is a Finnish word that translates to "cuckoo" in English. The cuckoo is a medium-sized bird known for its distinctive call, which sounds like its name. In Finland, the arrival of the cuckoo in spring is often seen as a significant sign that winter is over and warmer weather is approaching.
