I'm highly suspect. For Spanish, I've always heard piñas rather than ananás...
- sergiotapia 3y agoLatino here, never heard "ananas" - siempre piña.
- eesmith 3y agoThe Wikipedia entry for Ananás and Piña redirect to https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ananas_comosus https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ananas_comosus The entry for Ananas at https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ananas https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ananas says it's used for the genus which includes pineapple. The equivalent English word for the genus is Ananas - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ananas https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ananas . Read the answers and you'll see the claim is based on cherry-picking.
- Vitaly_C 3y agoI've heard piña in SoCal, but once visited Costa Rica and heard ananas. Disclaimer: I don't speak Spanish.
- Vitaly_C 3y agoI also heard in Costa Rica bananas referred to as patacones instead of platano, so I'm guessing there's a lot of regional-specific vocab at play here...
- cassianoleal 3y agoAs far as I can tell, patacon (as well as platano) is plaintain - not banana.

- genezeta 3y agoAnanás is correct [0], but so is piña [1]. Piña, in its second meaning is synonymous to ananás. Now, regarding usage, you're completely right. Nobody uses ananás; everybody says piña. (Funny: When describing the ananás plant, the DRAE says about its fruit: "fruto grande en forma de piña".)
