How do you say monkey in Greenlandic?

There isn't a specific word for "monkey" in Greenlandic. This is because monkeys are not native to Greenland and likely were not encountered by the Greenlandic people before European contact.

However, you could use the following options:

* "Aputsiaq": This means "ape" and could be used to refer to a monkey, especially if you're speaking about a larger primate.

* "Qalupalik": This is a mythical creature from Inuit folklore that is sometimes described as resembling a monkey, though it is more often associated with a spirit or demon.

* "Taama": This literally means "animal", and could be used as a general term for "monkey".

* "Uummannaq": This means "animal from elsewhere", and could be used to refer to any animal not native to Greenland, including a monkey.

Ultimately, the best way to refer to a monkey in Greenlandic would depend on the context and the specific type of monkey you are talking about.
