Careful with bunching in Portuguese and Brazilian, sometimes the words are different. Instead of ananas like in Portugal in BRazil they say abacaxi, and there's like a million different ways to say cassava. You have mandioca, macaxeira (I think this is in Northeast BRazil), aipim, etc
Same in Spanish, for example in Chile and Spain they don't understand common Spanish wo0rds like "aguacate" or "sudadera". Aguacate turns into palta, and sudadera would be "poleron". In Chile they also dont understand "ahorita" or "ahora mismo", instead they say "Al tiro"

Ananas! That's how we say pineapple in Greek. Is that what it means in Portuguese? I've always been amazed at the amount of Spanish words in the Greek language; but Portuguese? Interesting.

It's "ananas" or some variation of it in almost every language except Spanish (piña) and English (pineapple).

I believe you're right, it's one of those universal words. Like the word "sex". Almost every language says it in about the same way. And in no way am I saying ananas is like sex, but in some cases, it's close.

There are probably numerous words in Arabic that we use in Greek that I probably don't realize, too lol
