I don't think you meant to ask for the pronunciation of all the fruits. Perhaps you meant that you'd like to see the translations of other fruits. Certainly you don't expect anyone to list them all! That would be fruitless. By the way, lettuce is a vegetable, not a fruit. If you'd like to start a list of fruits and vegetables, I've a couple of suggestions. List only the names of fruits or vegetables that are grown in your country, in your native tongue. Sometimes there will be more than one name. List your country. If the fruit or vegetable is only found in a particular region of the world, it's possible that others have never seen it. In these cases, it would be nice to post a clear picture of the fruit or vegetable along with its native name and country. If you know the English translation, that may also be provided. Other members could then add more information about the items: a translation, an alternate name, or another translation/name that is particular to their country. The well-known banana, for example, has many different names depending on which country you're from. |

Lechuga is lettuce it's true, but if you're in a frutería and you ask for una ensalda you will be offered a lettuce too; even though the dictionary tells us ensalada means salad.

Crotalito, try this link: http://www.123teachme.com/learn_spanish/spanish_fruits - if you click on "view full vocabulary" it even gives you graphics of the different foods so that you can compare to see if it is the same as you are thinking.
A question about one veggie in particular. A Spanish-speaking friend was asking me what a "chinese onion" is called in English. We finally realized that she was referring to a scallion. In Spanish, would this merely be: "cebolla chino"?

A scallion can also be called a spring onion, a green onion, or a salad onion. I believe all these are called una cebolleta in Spanish. But scallions describe two different species, so there may be other words.
Shallots are a close cousin. These are chalotes in Spanish. EDIT: I just found this picture of una cebolla china (looks like a green onion to me). Last edited by Rusty; January 26, 2009 at 10:13 PM. |

I know, I can find other meaning of the fruits from internet, but as you have said Rusty, there are different meaning or distincts names for the fruits, for example in my town the Banana is named Platano, the watermelon is named Sandia and well, I'm very close of the know meanings all, then if you can contribute more information above then, I will be grateful with you, look, I want to know the following translate of these fruits, Melon, Guanabana, Pera, Tuna, and it between others fruits.

I saw the post where you are saying this phrase or name of a fruit (scallion), according as the dictionary from Tomisimo the word scallion meaning chalote, I don't know, If it's accurate, I want suffice that is very important knows the meaning of scallion because, you have said that the word scallion is Cebolla China, I have understanding that the word Cebolla is translate as onion, then I'm confused with the correct translation about this food, then I'd like know his correct meaning, if you can provide more information, I will be happy with your answer.

Well, I was grocery shopping with my friend who is from Peru and her husband is Chinese/Peruvian. He called while we were shopping and asked for her to bring chinese onions. That's how the whole discussion started. She didn't know what to call them in English, but when we found the scallions (what I call "green onions"), she said that was what he wanted......
