Oh yeah, I forgot the Balkans and the Middle East use "Portuguese" for orange.
>pepene
pepino means cucumber here. I wonder if it meant "watery fruit" in latin or something.
I wonder how the Castillian dialects differ from each other.
I know in Spain they call peaches "melocotons".

Do you guys not have grapes even to this day?
Is it common for people up there to not have ever eaten a grape?
i just dont know the word because im not native and i just wanted to have fun im sorry
You could've gone with your original language, then, but thanks anyway.
Still weird to me that you'd come across the berries more than grapes that you know their names, but I do live in grape-region.
strawberry is zemlyanika
my native language is english so thats even more boring
i dont eat many grapes and i feel like all the grape juice i see just says grape juice but i might just be retarded

>malmo
Is it is shit as they say, how many shitskins? How many racetraitors? How many attacks/muggings?
its all backwards
a grapes a raisin a raisins a grape
Ahh, thought you lived in the US and not in Copenhagen. Why is your life bad? Copenhagen is a really nice city to live in.
We call raisins "passes of grapes", for some reason. We use the same expression for dried peaces and figs and everything else.
Written Finnish always seems like a baby language to me. Spoken it's less childlike, but written down I always giggle.
honestly.. it kinda sucks
theres a lot of arabs but the cityscape is pretty cool
im only staying in denmark for a little bit, im staying with my danish gf outside of copenhagen
i cant actually move here for 4 more years, kinda sad
I looked up Malmo on google street view the other day and I only saw white people. It was very disappointing.
DAILY REMINDER THAT ANANÁS ARE NOT ABACAXIS
When was the street view done tho?
My Brazilian cousin explained me once that one of them is sweeter and the other is more acidic, and that one of them ha serrated leaves while the other doesn't. You probably differentiate between two subspecies or something.
Can't remember which is which, but we do sometimes see "Abacaxi" for sale and it doesn't always match.

That's what you get for going to the city +50% of the immigrants that come here ends up staying. I'm thankful that they are a buffer zone for the rest of the country though. Can't she just move back with you to the US?
I doubt it was 40 years ago.
I asked my Danish friend why appelsin is orange but apple is æble and he just told me to shut the fuck up.
So why is that? What does appelsin mean when you break it down?
its probably easier for me to just move there because i need to get my life together anyway and by the time i do that ill be eligible for her to sponsor me for a visa prob
Just marry her lmao
Sin means "China". So, Chinese apples.
Although I think that started in Dutch and was transported East/North.
There's 4 natural citric subspecies in the world (the rest are hybrids in different proportions), so oranges, tangerines, lemons, limes, mandarins, tangeras, grapefruits etc etc all have weird names depending on who brought which parent/fruit where.
i live at home still and i dont have money to move out i dont want my 20 year old wife to live at home with me and my mom :(
chinese apple, isnt it
Thanks for the explanation, Portubro.

Abacaxi has serrated leafs.
To be honest i have never seen anything other than abacaxis here.
Both words come from indigenous languages. it's pretty funny to see a word from a dying language be so widespread.

Why does everyone call them ananas? Where does this word originate
Tough spot you're in there mate
Brazilian native tribe when we got there. Another called them Abacaxi, but there's some confusion as if they are different fruit species or the same with two names.
Regardless, as the main trade power in the early 16th century, we got to coin the term on most languages, since it was a new thing.
Spanish got "piña" because it looks like a pinecone. I'm not sure if Spanish America had them and they named it differently, or if they just gave it a nickname and stuck with it.

I'm going to translate them into Nawat, the indigenous language of El Salvador (related to Nahuatl, the language of the Aztecs). Most of these fruits are native to Europe, so expect loanwords.
