How the fuck do you know what an apple is shit for brains

Speakers of the English language use to call a lot of fruit "-apples" because it was convenient. Pineapples were named as such because they resembled a pine cone.

You can see how French is a superior language to english because we have a specific word for every fruit.
For instance, it's called "Ananas"

>>8548068
Pomme ne veut pas nécessairement dire sucré.

>>8550554
*Une pomme de terre.

Here is the reason why we say this :
"L'expression pomme de terre apparaît en anglo-normand vers 1240. C'est un calque de l'expression latine malum terrae, pomme de la terre. Le nom spécifique de la pomme (malum) avait été remplacé en français par le nom générique des fruits, pomum."

As I said earlier, English is the language of dumb people. The easiest, poorest language ever invented so it could spread easier worldwide.

>>8550558
Pome=Apple
Also pomodoro (tomato)= gold Apple

>>8550562
It's actually quite correct. Close to peas taxonomically, close to nuts in flavor.
