Kobojunkie: So what? Orange came from Mandarin China, did that stop British people from calling it orange. Or are you saying some thing is wrong with calling it 'Oroma' If you are tracing origin be clear, but do not start condemning our language as if someone else's is more authentic. All the fruits you name in English, how many of them are native to England that has snow or you do not know fruits are more tropical than temperate. Apart from apple which is from Kazakstan, what they have native are the berries. |

GerogeI:Orange is a general English name used for a family of citrus fruits however the name of particular fruits depends a lot on were they are sourced from. E.g. there is a particular hybrid created in Jamaica that goes by the Jamaican name. |

Kobojunkie: This fruit @Ackee is called Ishin in Yoruba land. Remember a popular highbrow area in Ibadan.. Idi-Ishin. I have eaten times without number... The trickish part of it is real. There's an adage in Yoruba language; Eni ti o ba mo Ishin je, yio mo iku oju e yan. I.e... he who must eat an ackee must know how to remove the poison it is laiden with. |
