Music: Epic by Benjamin Tissot (also known as Bensound)

[@ScherrHrenner]

Quite funny to hear such epic music in a presentation about fruit names.

[@stephanedajtlich]

Not funny but really annoying

[@ivancaballero5123]

because it is the Latin language, you know the language of the real Imperium Maximum :)

[@pennypappas8096]

In Greek, many similar words especially with Romanian and Italian. πεπόνι (peponi)= melon πορτοκάλι (portokali) 🍊 κεράσι (kerasi) 🍒 μήλο (milo) 🍏 φράουλα (fraoula) 🍓 ρόδι (rodi)= pomegranate ancient gk: προυμνον (proumnon)= plum Also, Latin pirum and Greek άπιον (apion) or απίδι (apidi) meaning pear also share the same root, although not obvious at first by looking at the two words.

[@mariusstefan7214]

You missed an “S” in the romanian word Strugure ( Greek word ) not Truguri for uva. And we use olso “ fragi “ for fragus = strawberry

[@nestingherit7012]

Strugure' ( grape) is a Dacian word that ends in ,gure' like other words Mugure ( bud) Magure ( hillock) Fagure' ( honeycomb) You guys from Dexonline " dictionary" gave away everything,

[@zarzavattzarzavatt9309]

@Meteorul they are usually different in meaning. commonly "fragi" is a word for "wild strawberry" ("european strawberry") or by extension any wild berry that resembles it. botanically "capsuni" are subset of "fragi"

[@sard-anonimus2818]

Sardinian language is missing (which is also the closest to Latin) - Melone - Pira - Arantzu - Ua - Cariasa - Mela - Nuche/Nughe de cocco - Sìndria - Banana - Nuche/Nughe - Fragula - Pruna - Mela Grenada

sindria and prune sound catalan words

[@sard-anonimus2818]

@@kame9 sindria in indeed in catalan, since Sardinia was ruled by the Kingdom of Aragona and later by Kingdom of Spain for almost 400 years. While pruna it's just in latin

It's pretty much like Spanish! I've heard it a bunch of times.

[@fabiana.4640]

Too many errors. Oranges were not known in the Roman era. Both bitter and sweet oranges were introduced in Europe (Spain an Sicily) by the Moors in the 9th and 10th century. The arabic name naranj was deformed to the name aurantium, due to the golden color. Watermelons were also brought to Europe by the Moors. They were not known to the Romans, so they had no name in classical latin. Coconut comes from old Portuguese, coco, wich was used as synonim of head. No word for coconut in classical Latin. Bananas entered Europe in the 10th century. Musa is a latinization of the arabic name Mauz made by Linnaeus in the 18th century.

[@kables_net]

In Romanian for strawberries there is also the word "fragi".

[@itheicequeen]

capsunile si fragii sunt fructe diferite totusi.

[@kables_net]

@@itheicequeen Nu sunt foarte diferite. Ambele sunt din familia fragaria. Fraga este o capsuna din vegetatia spontana, pe cand capsuna este o fraga obtinuta prin selectie naturala si cultivata., fiind mai mare si deci mai productiva.

[@johnathangoncalo4971]

The music is really awesome. It really sums up the imposing nature of Latin and the Romans. I am a native Portuguese speaker and I've learned/been learning the other 5 romance languages for quite some time. My second favorite has to be Italian, then Romanian, Spanish, then the rest. Although, they are all great 👍 On a side note, I also love Japanese. I know it's an Asian language, but part of the reason why I began learning it is because of Japan's connection with Portugal back in the middle ages 😀

[@lunadeargint540]

1. aurantium (a colour name) designates a type of bitter orange, so it's not really an orange; there were no citrus fruit during the Roman Empire, so they had no oranges and it's not useful to compare "to see which one s more similar", in this case you should have chosen only words for fruit that existed during the Roman times, the same with "cocoes"- (this word doesn't exist) and banana, musa; 2. cerasus means cherry tree, not cerry; the word for cherries come fom late latin ceresia 3."nuc" in Romanian means wallnut tree, the correct word is "nuca" 4. prunus means the tree and is masculine; so the fruit in late latin is "pruna" that' s why the adjective cereola is feminine

[@mimisor66]

In Romanian nuc is the walnut tree, the fruit is nucă

[@ovidiubogdansescu1163]

Was about the tree, in catalan nugal means walnut tree

[@tomaytotamaato]

Apparently the Romanian word for Orange is Portugal, lol

[@andreigeorgescu9643]

It really comes from the country name (it is the same in Greek)....while Orange comes from the name of the ruler of that country by the time oranges were imported in Europe (William of Orange....he also ruled the Netherlands - this is why the Netherland team wears orange tee-shirts for say international football (soccer) games)

[@VlahuDoru]

Portocala.

[@lunadeargint540]

As pomegranate don't grow in Romania, the word for it "rodie" comes from Greek

Portocala... se parece com Portugal hahaha

[@Satibelle]

In Romania, orange(the colour) = portocaliu, orange (the fruit) = portocala

[@coldburrito5818]

​@@Satibelleyes, we say portocaliu and also oranj for the orange colour.

[@norielgames4765]

Because it comes from the name of the country. Many languages call the orange fruit after the country of Portugal cause that's where they imported it from.

And indeed it is. Catalan is Occitan Romance, not Iberian Romance like Spanish and Portuguese. It's the farthest language from Spanish in the Iberian Peninsula if you discount Basque (which is a big outlier).
