Usage notes

While English-speakers tend to mistakenly use the word “rabbit” for hares, the German tendency is reverse: Hase is sometimes mistakenly used instead of Kaninchen, particularly in Southern dialect regions, also in figurative usage (bunny girl is Häschen in German) and for fictitious animals (Easter bunny is Osterhase in German).
