Did you know?
- The word アレルギー is a loanword from German 'Allergie', rather than the English word 'allergy', despite the similar spelling.
- While 'peanut' is usually ピーナッツ, some older texts or specific botanical discussions might use 落花生 (rakkasei). This term literally translates to 'falling peanut' because of how the plant grows.
- Because ピーナッツ (pīnattsu) is a foreign loanword, it is written in the Katakana script, which serves as a visual cue to Japanese readers that the word is not native.
