Usage notes
  • While English speakers tend to mistakenly use the word “rabbit” for hares, the German tendency is the reverse: Hase is sometimes mistakenly used instead of Kaninchen, and it tends to be the preferred word whenever the distinction is irrelevant or impossible to tell (for example, a bunny girl is a Häschen in German and the Easter bunny is called Osterhase).
