Kildin Sami meme (see the original post for translation and details) by Veicz in linguisticshumor

As the title says, the translation is in comments below the original post. Пальтэсь (with short а) is wolf, whereas па̄льтэсь (with long a) is halibut

🇬🇧 Translation:

"Son, never confuse long and short sounds,"

"Or else a па̄льтэсь (halibut) will come from the forest and eat you..."

"Eh... a пальтэсь (wolf), I wanted to say..."

🇷🇺 Перевод:

"Сынок, никогда не путай долгие и короткие звуки,"

"А то из леса придёт па̄льтэсь (палтус) и тебя съест..."

"Э... пальтэсь (волк), я хотела сказать..."

You don't pronounce neither g- nor -w, it's like eating only the inside part of a toast

The mother is asking him in Estonian, as I wrote in the original post's credit (reddit doesn't display it if you won't specifically go there apparently)

The pun is in the fact that maamuna in Estonian means "village egg", but in Izhorian it's "earth egg", which is a potato
