4:15 There is a mistake that I didn't see. In Germany and Luxembourg the word for Salad is SALAT. Sorry for the confusion!

[@haitike]

Ananas is not used in Spanish from Spain (it is used in Argentina). It should be "piña" and use a different colour to green.

[@MrVadallat]

Well, let me tell you, dont translate pina to hungarian 😂

[@haitike]

@@MrVadallat Well, piña in Spanish would be written "pinya" in Hungarian, so we should be safe. "pina" is not a word in Spanish, altough "pino" is a pine tree :P

[@brx86]

Exacty...so Piña (related to the "fruit" of a pine tree) and Pineapple should have the same colour

[@IDK-hy7sl]

​@@brx86 pineapples don't come from pine trees haha

[@brx86]

@@IDK-hy7sl Etimology sweetheart...When we saw for the first time a "Pineapple" it was similar to the fruit of a pine tree (a Pine Cone) and we called it "Piña" too. English copied from us the word and this is why you call this fruit "Pineapple" literaly Apple from a Pine Tree ...don't you realize the word Pine (tree) is in "Pineapple"?

[@adrianoberjillos757]

In Spain, Ananas is not used. We only use "piña". And the term "Plátano" is more common than "banana".

[@mr.archivity]

If you read Piña is also used.

Maçã and manzana are closely related, should have the same color shade.

[@fabiana.4640]

The colors are arbitrary, just to make it colorful. Queso an Käse sound almost the same, just an a or an o at the end

[@Treinbouwer]

​@fabiana.4640 There are more possible disputes. At 3:19 you see pomme du terre in French and in Dutch you see aardappel. They are very close if you translate them. (FR apple of [the] earth NL earthapple) Those kind of different looking words tend to be related as well, just in an other way.

[@brittakriep2938]

[@kurlov_timothy]

2:08 There's a little mistake here. In Russia, we also use the word tomato, it is also in our language, however, our version is colloquial and simplified, which came to us from France and means "pomme de oro" and means "golden apple" from French, since the first tomatoes brought to France were yellow

[@jmi5969]

2:13 - Blr/Ru/Ua languages use two names for tomato, помидор (pomidor) + томат (tomat). In Russian, the first is the everyday vernacular name, the second is "formal" (and is also the only appropriate choice for adjectives like tomato paste, tomato sauce etc. - same in Ukrainian).

[@times4937]

Because to Ukraine and Belarus the term Pomidor was borrowed from Poland, (in the Polish language directly from Italy). One of the Italian princesses- Bona Sforza d'Aragona, the future wife of one of the Polish kings, brought this vegetable to Poland shortlyafter bringing it to Europe.

[@vladkucherov1017]

[@frankdalton2492]

But "Kartoffel" for potato? I can remember when Austria joined the EU: "Erdapfel bleibt Erdapfel". In Austria, a potato is an "Erdapfel"!

[@MultiMobLine]

In Spain "Ananás" is typical of the Galician and Basque languages, in Castilian/Spanish and Catalan/Valencian it is called piña/pinya and "Ananas" is not understood, at least in Spanish In Spain they say "plátano", not banana (that is very google translate, because in many Latin American countries they say banana)

[@brittakriep2938]

In german Birne is official word for pear, but many older people say Bier/ Beer. Fleisch is german word for meat, but Mett also exists, it means fine minced pork, spiced with salt and pepper, eaten raw. The words for butcher translated (?) into english: Metzger - meater, Schlachter - slaughterer, Fleischer - flesher, Fleischhacker - fleshhacker, Fleischhauer - fleshhewer.
