What the bearish harami is

A small candle inside a big green one. Buying is slowing down.

Imagine a crowd cheering loudly, then suddenly going almost silent. A bearish harami is like that: after a big green candle, the next candle is small and red and fits inside the green body. The buyers' loud push has gone quiet.
