Did you know?
- If you were to translate the name literally as La Granja de Bayas de Nudo, a native speaker might think you are describing a farm that grows edible-looking rope knots.
- While the park name remains in English, Spanish speakers often refer to the famous boysenberry jam from the park as mermelada de boysenberry because there is no direct translation for the berry's name in Spanish.
- When talking about the park in a Spanish sentence, speakers almost always keep the English possessive 's in 'Knott's', as Spanish lacks a possessive apostrophe and would find 'de Knott' to be too formal for a brand name.
