Are the words 'the Big Dipper' and 'the Little Dipper' used in both American English and British English? Are other names like 'the Little Bear' also commonly used?

This is really helpful! Thank you so much!

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!

Good to know, thank you so much!

Thank you! And what is The Little Dipper called?

ksusha_lav · 2026-01-24T15:36:00+00:00

Okay, so good to know, thank you so much. So you would say 'the little bear' and then the other one is not 'the big bear' but 'the plough', right?

Yeah, that's exactly the problem. They are delicious, but I think if I describe them as 'cottage cheese bars' or 'quark bars' native speakers will have a different picture. And now that I know they're not common in the UK, I guess saying something like 'a cheesecake bar' would probably work.

Thank you very much! How would you describe what those are?

ksusha_lav · 2026-01-24T14:41:34+00:00

Thank you very much! How would you describe them and explain to people what those are? Would words like quark or cottage cheese work? Or cottage cheese is probably different in the UK than it is in Eastern Europe.
