Aren’t those more likely to be peaches? Where I am, apricots are just larger than a golf ball.
Apricots versus peaches are a nominal distinction that doesn’t exist in all cultures or languages.
Oh, interesting, I had no idea. They’re so different. I used to have both a peach tree and an apricot tree - they don’t even taste all that similar.
No the don’t, but nectarines can also get lumped in there, and I think nectarines are better than either. The fruits all find their roots in China in prehistory, so depending on where when they made it to a region and the particulars of the linguistic groups of the time. Its like how limes and lemons weren’t always distinguished in all cultures.
Por que no los Tres
“Apple” has dozens of varieties that don’t taste all that similar either.
Yeah, like “Apples of earth” (“Pomme de Terre”). /s
Or road apples
I agree, and disagree. Nectarines are the best of the three to eat by hand. But peaches, an apricots are better cooked.
Should be translated into English as peach, then.
Well no, not necessarily. Languages don’t necessary map 1:1, and conceptions change over time. What one generation calls a peach, and what a previous generation calls a peach, they might differ.
Just like a peach, you may have to accept a little fuzz.
there is sufficient context for that kind of head gymnastics. By looking at the picture, we can clearly see it’s peaches.
I mean somewhat but I feel like you are trying to flatten things to fit how you want to under them. Language and human experience don’t necessarily meet modern experiences.
Less extreme in terms of shape but not taste, is the Spanish arándano, meaning blueberry OR cranberry.
It’s OK because Spanish makes up for it by having European and American names for all variety of critter.
well, it exists in english
I looked up “Julika es az oszibarack”. It means “Julika and the peach.”
