I thought "plátano" is only used for plantains in Latin America, and Cavendish is typically called "banana" instead. I'm likely wrong, though.

- dragonwriter 2y agoAt least IME, and there may be regional or other variations I’m missing, people in México tend to use “plátano” for bananas and “plátano macho” for plantains.
- nomdep 2y agoIn Spain, it's like that. In Latin America, it was always "plátano," but in the last ten years, I've seen a new "global Latin American Spanish" emerging that uses "banana" for Cavendish, some Mexican slang, etc. I suspect it's because of YouTube and Twitch.
- david-gpu 2y agoIn Spain, plátano is used for Cavendish and plantains are rarely consumed. I am a Spaniard.
