You should lookup the word for pineapple in other languages. English is the outlier, most (or all, IIRC) call it "ananas".

- ino 9y agoAlso 'piña' in spanish and 'abacaxi' in brazilian portuguese. Abacaxi is such a fun word to say out loud.
- petecox 9y agoNames in Spanish for fruit & veg vary greatly by country. I'm pretty sure 'ananas' is still pineapple in parts of South America, where it's a key ingredient in a Chilean cocktail. furthermore - palta = avocado, durazno = peach, choclo = corn etc - some of the words that are completely different from their Peninsular Spanish equivalents.
