Swedish term or phrase: snuttiplutti
Can anyone tell me what "snuttiplutti" means in English please? I've seen it in the context of cute pictures of animals/babies, so would it be "you little cutie" or something like that, just "cute"?

No specific context because it's in a list of answers to questions and I've no idea what the question was.
Thanks in advance

Adorable
Explanation:
I think adorable works pretty well here unless there's more 'babytalk' term in English

cutesy


Explanation:
Just google cutesy and you will get all the implications of "too cute", "cloyingly cute" etc. which fit well in with the criticism of snuttiplutti in your example.
