Is a a smurf a gnome?

For classification purposes, the genus would be gnome, the species would be smurf.

Yabu no, smurfs are not gnomes
Yanbu, smurfs are indeed gnomes

A smurf is a pixie. A gnome is a small bearded man with a hat. I know smurfs wear hats but they are blue.

I hope this helps

Cabin then what is smurfette?

I think smurfs are a subset of gnomes with common lineage to the garden gnome.

Smurfette was made out of clay and magic by the smurfs enemy Gargamel to trick the smurfs, and no I wouldn’t say smurfs are gnomes totally different creatures

Definitely not gnomes - or only very very very distantly related

Gnomes are thought to have evolved from Gnomapithecus in the early Paleolithic.

Smurfs evolved from Boy George's blue chin circa 2008.

Pixies are green. I was a sixer in the Pixies. I know.

I am unsure whether smurfs are gnomes. But they are most definitely NOT pixies.

I think they are gnomes, would that mean.
All Smurfs are gnomes but not all gnomes are smurfs?

A Smurf is not a pixie, what is this madness? Smurfs are Smurfs from Smurfland. Or Smurfsville. Or Smurf Vegas or something.
