Did you know?
- The Persian word آناناس is a linguistic traveler that originated from the Tupi language of South America via European colonial languages.
- While آناناس refers to the fruit, the Persian word for 'pine' is کاج. This means there is no linguistic connection in Persian between the 'pine' tree and the 'pineapple'.
- Because آناناس is a loanword, it does not follow the traditional root-and-pattern system that governs most native Persian verbs and nouns.
