Lemon in Dutch: "CITROËN". The varieties are called 2Cv, DS, Dyane, Visa, BX, Saxo, Xantia, C3, Berlingo etc 😂😂😂

[@proinsiasbaiceir6580]

Actually: the name of founder of 'Citroën' was of Dutch descent. The original family name was 'Citroen'. The French apparently put two dots on the e. Fun fact: originally the family name was 'limoenman'. '(Limoen' is Dutch for 'lime'.) So the Dutch don't eat cars. However there are people who drive in lemons. 😄

[@kallelellacevej2234]

Very good job on the video! I like how it’s also colour coordinated. Just a couple simple things I noticed: In Polish, 🍋🍊 lemon & orange as nouns are cytryna & pomarańcza; cytrynowy & pomarańczowy are adjectives like „lemony ” & „orangey”. Also in Russian 🍐 pear-груша transliterated is more like „gruša” and not „hruša” which appears more Ukrainian.

[@KartovOndulevitch]

You are easy to satisfy. The colors never fitted the names on those maps

[@swetoniuszkorda5737]

cytryna, pomarańcza What a lazy dog are you, Lang map. Or simply too busy.

[@yorgunsamuray]

In Turkish there are actually two words for different types of cherries. "Vişne", written here is for the sour cherries. The sweet variety is called "Kiraz" which is more related to the word "cherry". So we have them both. Raspberry has two names in Turkish. One is "ahududu" the native word and the other is "frambuaz", which comes from the French "framboise". It's the more used variety in bakery and confectionery industry, in the line of "cool foreign name" marketing. One mistake I saw is in the grouping of "Pineapple". Although it's called "ananas" in Dutch, Netherlands and Belgium is painted in the "Pineapple" group color.

[@Amulinka]

Same in Polish: "wiśnia" (pl. wiśnie) is sour cherry and "czereśnia" (pl. czereśnie) is sweet cherry. For us these are two different fruits. :)

[@Mladjasmilic]

Trešnja is sweet cherry. Višnja is sour cherry. So in all Slavic languages, it is the same. Most fruit from Europe has the same name in Slavic.

[@deepfriedcarpet]

In slovak, "čerešňa" is sweet cherry and "višňa" is sour cherry. You can also say "černica" for blackberry.

[@grzegorzbrzeczyszczykiewicz0]

Same in Russian with "вишня" (vishnya) and "черешня" (chereshnya), tho черника (chernika) is blueberry.

[@kacperwoch4368]

Same in Polish, czereśnia/trześnia vs wiśnia.

[@user-nx5ie4hu9u]

It is interesting that in Swahili, we also call lemons limau ot ndimu, though limau is also used for limes, the Swahil word limau was derived from the Portuguese limao, a is a nasalized vowel( with a tilde), since the portuguese explorers under Vasco da Gama introduced lemons to the Kenyan Coast

[@michals1967]

Lemon (the noun) in Polish is cytryna. The ending -owy is used to mean an adjective, "of lemon" in this case. You have several mistakes of this kind, not only in Polish, but also other Slavic languages.

[@watchmakerful]

Everyone: BANANA. Turks: MUZ 😀. Is it a Syriac word? I slightly remember "muza" as a word for "banana" in one of Syriac dialects.

[@richardharris8867]

In Spanish Melocoton is much more widely used than Durazno.

[@knowledgeisgood9645]

Strawberry is Jordgubbe in Swedish. It belongs to the Smultronsläkte (group) of berries. Using dictionaries to compile these maps has its pitfalls.

[@klausolekristiansen2960]

Släkt is genus in English

[@knowledgeisgood9645]

@@klausolekristiansen2960 Thanks, I wanted to use an easier word.

[@user-rx8fx8ul1k]

Nice try, but you should correct several mistakes. All the nouns in German are written with capital letter like any proper noun. “Melón” is in Spanish, not Portuguese which is “melão “. “Pæreslekta» isn’t Norwegian which is “pære» like in Danish. And many other mistakes…

[@DomingosCJM]

Ananas em português é abacaxi.

In Belarusian, raspberry = malina, not malinavy. Also, pear = hruša, not hrusha. The rest is correct.

[@williswameyo5737]

In Swahili, we call pineapple nanasi, the pronunciation may have derived from German ananas

[@gemluka6666]

In dutch, the word "Oranje" is only used for the name of the colour the fruit is called "Sinaasappel" or "Appelsien".

[@voorthuizen]

Appelsien?

[@gemluka6666]

@@voorthuizen Het is vlaams dacht ik

[@voorthuizen]

@@gemluka6666 dat zou inderdaad best kunnen. Heb nog nooit (of niet dat ik weet) iemand een sinaasappel “appelsien” horen noemen in Nederland.

[@EitelFederico]

Appelsien wordt wel eens in het Vlaams gebruikt. Standaardtaal in het hele taalgebied is sinaasappel.

[@voorthuizen]

1:53 is wrong. The dutch “Oranje” is the word for the color Orange. The fruit is called “sinaasappel”. Tbh: I think that is for a lot of the countries.

[@watchmakerful]

It's interesting that in Turkish "kavun" means "melon", but the same word borrowed into Ukrainian means "watermelon".

[@swetoniuszkorda5737]

Kawon=arbuz =watermelon. PL

[@richardharris8867]

The Dutch for Orange is Sinaasappel.. Oranje is the color.

[@lucone2937]

As a Finn I was wondering about the same thing. I knew there was an old Dutch word for China's apple aka "sinaasappel" or "appelsien". The Dutch merchants probably made it well-known fruit in Nordic and Baltic countries. That's why a Finnish word for orange as a fruit is "appelsiini" and a Finnish word "oranssi" means only the colour of orange.

[@xxxpasqualinoxxx8614]

nice video, but the orange in Italian is arancia not arancio, the arancio is the tree, furthermore there are also dialect terms completely different from standard Italian, in Campania it is called purtuall/purtuallo

[@kiliritongs]

In Catalan Banana is called plàtan

[@tasiociafancelli9912]

strawberry in catalan is: maduixa. Fragaria is the bigger family of the varieties of strawberries in catalan but seldom used

[@lucyfer1299]

In polish is "cytryna" not "cytrynowy". We can write "cytrynowy smak" = "lemon taste" there is the sense of it

[@williswameyo5737]

The word Melon is quite similar in a variety of languages

[@El_Gomas23]

"Durazno" and "banana" is in latinoamerican spanish, here we say melocotón and plátano

[@SomewhereInRoblox]

In Bulgarian we use both dinya (диня) and lubenica (любеница) for watermelon.

[@reineh3477]

How can Netherlands have a different colour for pineapple when they use the same word as the rest of Europe?

[@cristianocamacho3530]

In Portuguese the word for "melon" is "melão", not "melón" as it shows.

[@jovike7203]

Why Ciliegia, Kirsch in Italian, has different colours from other western countries as Spanish Ceresa? The origin is the same: in Latin. In Sardinian Cherru is incorrect, the correct form is Cariasa.

[@DonPedroman]

Some minor details: in Galician a strawberry is not amorodeira (that is the plant) but rather amorodo; also in Iberian Spanish nobody says durazno, we say melocotón; in both Galician and Iberian Spanish we say plátano rather than banana, also in Galician despite ananás being the academy aproved word, virtually everyone says piña (this is more an aclaration than a correction), still a great video

[@kevinkamberi]

5:54 Vishnja is NOT Cherry but is Sour Cherry in Albanian. Cherry is Qershi.

[@lungualexandru648]

Well done, but în romanian piersic, cocotier, portocal and zmeur are the plants that make the fruits, the fruits are piersică, nucă de cocos, portocală and zmeură

[@ovidiubogdansescu1163]

The Italian " mele" and the Romanian "mere" why they have different colours? Is obvious they have the same latin origin

[@voorthuizen]

5:38 I like how every country has very simular words and Turkiye is like: nope, its “Muzz”

[@ahmetragp5202]

The situation is the same for coconut. Coconut is "Hindistan Cevizi" in Turkey

[@Maksimmka23]

Lemon in Belarusian cytryna.

[@Name-og4th]

Both words limon and cytryna exist in the dictionary.

[@HybridCoaster]

Lemon is citron in Danish

[@siphotheguy1870]

In my country a banana is called a banermnerm

[@gte00065]

You have some mistakes in Sicilian. Lemon is actually "lumìa", grapes is "racina", peach is "pèrsicu" ("persica" is plural), apricot is more commonly said "pricocu" (even though "varcocu" exists as well), watermelon is "muluni d'acqua", blackberry is "amareddu".

[@Serh1y]

Yes but NO! In Ukraine sunytsy are wild strawberries that grow in the forest. Polunytsi is the correct word

There are a couple wich end in slekt/släkt in Norwegian and Swedish. This means genus. Just remove it to get the correct word.
