How to Say "Ananas" in French

ananas

/a.na.nas/

The English word 'ananas' corresponds to ananas in French.

ananas refers to a tropical fruit characterized by a prickly skin and sweet yellow flesh.

How does it change in a sentence?

The word ananas is invariable in number, so the spelling remains the same whether you are talking about one fruit or multiple fruits.

The word consists of three syllables and is pronounced /a.na.nas/.

The word ananas originates from the Tupi language, spoken by indigenous people in Brazil, before it was adopted by Portuguese and Spanish explorers.
Because ananas is invariable, the only way to distinguish between one or many fruits in writing is by looking at the accompanying article, such as l'ananas or les ananas.
While English speakers use 'pineapple' to describe the fruit, French speakers use a single word that is identical to the botanical name used in many other languages.
