мече, (малко) меченце


Explanation:
Also меченце (addition to the above answer). Sounds like MECHE'NTSE

МЕЧЕ

web | Детски кът

Малко меченце
с черно носленце
играе в гората
при цветята.

Боровинки похапва,
без да се изцапва,
ягодките не забравя -
и от тях прибавя.

Ех, че малко меченце
с рунтаво вратленце,
малко дебеличко,
но хубаво и смеличко.

agree  Antonina Zaitseva: Браво на меченцето! Хубаво стихотворение

  -> :o) Жалко, че рано или късно порастват и мечетата и ние...
neutral  Dessislava: Correction to the pronunciation: me'chentse. Also "mechentse" can be described as a diminutive form of "meche" ezpressing a personal attitude of endearment.

  -> agree on the first (accent in the pronunciation), but the second is not NECESSARILY true... I said it's an ADDITION to the suggestion "мече" and the asker can use it depending on the context. By the way, how would you translate меченце into English? :)
