oliivi (Finnish)
Olive. English. Glad I could help! 😁
Olijf (Dutch)
And Olijfje for Popeye’s girlfriend…
And Olijfgroen for the colour.
Oliven, Norwegian. For some reason it’s an uncountable noun.
Wiktionary’s page for ‘olive’ has translations of a number of meanings into many, many languages.
Zaytoun in arabic
Azeitona in portuguese, so yes, it probably came from arabic.
The tree is called oliveira, and the oil is called azeite.
Alyvuogė, which I can translate into oil berry.
ôliu in vietnamese
“Olive” (German).
Except our ‘e’ isn’t silent but pronounced as the ‘a’ in ‘air’ and the ‘o’ sound like the one in ‘or’.
Bonus points: what’s olive oil in your language?
Olive in french. Boring word I guess.
Depends on the meaning (🍑👈)
Olive ! 👍
橄榄（gǎn lǎn)
Aceituna en español
The tree is Olivo, the fruit is Aceituna.
Oliva is the fruit, olivová is the colour.
But we rarely use the latter, much like with amber.
