Oliva in Catalan
Olive. English. Glad I could help! 😁
“Olive” (German).
Aceituna en español
That’s an Arabic loan word if I’ve ever seen one
In french argot, people still say zitoune (zitun), I believe they got it from the algerians. Otherwise it’s just “olive”
Yep. Spanish has a number of Arabic loan words, given Spain was conquered by the moors for a bit.
Oliven, Norwegian. For some reason it’s an uncountable noun.
This is for the purpose of being able to eat as many olives as you like and it cannot be counted.
How many olives did you eat?
Hmm, I ate olive.
Olive in french. Boring word I guess.
Depends on the meaning (🍑👈)
Sure depends on the meaning ! (🍫)
Olive ! 👍
橄榄（gǎn lǎn)
Alyvuogė, which I can translate into oil berry.
Oliv in Swedish.
The color or the fruit?
OP:
Yes
Oliva is the fruit, olivová is the colour.
But we rarely use the latter, much like with amber.
Olijf (Dutch)
And Olijfje for Popeye’s girlfriend…
And Olijfgroen for the colour.
Wiktionary’s page for ‘olive’ has translations of a number of meanings into many, many languages.
