And Korean, too: 파인애플
- echelon 3y agoMore "pineapple" : pynappel (Afrikaans) paina (Hawaiian) paynapul (Krio) പൈനാപ്പിൾ (Malayalam) piña (Quechua) I'm sure there are many more...
- Bimos 3y agoThere is also "ananas" in Korean: 아나나스. And there is also "凤梨"/"鳳梨"(Fèng lí in Mandarin) in Japanese: 鳳梨(ほ ーり, hóꜜòrì)[1]. But I think neither of them are commonly used now. So maybe it is the influence of English-speaking countries that makes (at least) these two languages choose "pineapples" now rather than other possibilities.
