Hard to translate fruits
20
A lot of time in translation, we change one word to another. “Manzana” in Spanish means “apple” in English, for example. But sometimes, there is food that simply doesn’t exist in the other language. Here are some examples of fruits found in Colombia that are difficult to translate:
Fruit | Description | Picture |
Uchuva | A round, smooth berry resembling a miniature tomato | |
Feijoa | A sweet, green, oval fruit about the size of a chicken egg. | |
Borojó | A round, brown fruit with a lot of seeds. | |
Gulupa | It’s a round, dark purple fruit. | |
Zapote | A big, round and brown fruit | |
Lulo | A small, yellow, round fruit |
