a rare bird, a strange, unusual or exceptional person
çekim: çoğul rare vogels
köken: From raar + vogel, calque of Latin rāra avis. Note that although raar descends from the Latin word, it now mostly means “strange” instead of “rare” (zeldzaam).
strange; weird (not normal) · picky; particular (demanding to have things just right) · exquisite (especially fine)
çekim: üstünlük o mais esquisito
köken: Learned borrowing from Latin exquīsītus, perfect passive participle of exquīrō. Cognate with Spanish exquisito and English exquisite, both false friends.
a weirdo, an eccentric person · an exotic or fantastical bird
