  1. The English word cow is related to other Germanic words: Icelandic kýr and Swedish ko.

    Most European languages are united by a common thread: the word for ant. From the Galician formiga to the Romanian furnică, and from Greek μυρμήγκι (myrmígki) to Finnish muurahainen. Surprising, huh? We can find the traces of a single Proto-Indo-European ancestor: *mórwis.

  13. Rice was first cultivated in the Far East as early as 10,000 years ago. From there, rice cultivation gradually spread westward. This movement is mirrored by the journey of the word for rice across languages. In English, the word rice comes from Old French ris, which was borrowed from Old Italian riso. That, in turn, derives from Byzantine Greek ὄρυζα (óruza).

  18. A waiter or waitress is traditionally defined as a “servant who waits at tables.” In English, the emphasis is placed on the act of waiting. In Spanish, however, the focus tends to shift toward the table itself: One common term is mesero, derived from mesa (“table”). Another term used is mozo, which can mean “boy,” “servant,” or “waiter,” depending on the context.

  19. Capsicum annuum or sweet pepper comes from the Greek peperi, from the Sanskrit pippalī, which originally referred to black pepper. After chili peppers were introduced to Europe, the name was extended to include them.
    Paprika comes from Serbian papar, meaning “pepper,” from the Latin piper.
    The Spanish word pimiento traces to Latin pigmentum, meaning “coloring,” reflecting the vibrant hues of the peppers.

  24. #Berries are a problematic term to translate: First, currants, despite not having the ending -berry, are berries. Second, commonly, berries refer to a specific type of fruit like blueberries & cranberries. However, scientifically, a berry is a fleshy fruit produced from a single ovary. It does not include blackberries, raspberries, or strawberries but it does grapes, bananas, or tomatoes.

  28. Wild #tomatoes (Solanum pimpinellifolium) are from South #America. Later Aztecs domesticated them in Mesoamerica. Most #languages, including #Spanish, adopted the #Aztec word from #Nahuatl, tomatl, meaning "the swelling fruit." #Italian Pietro Andrea Mattioli suggested that was a type of #eggplant. Later, Mattioli proposed a different nickname: pomi d'oro, or "golden #apples."
