What’s another toot?
Strawberries are toot sadeh. What else is a toot?
I think if you say toot by itself it’s also a strawberry. the phrase “tutim v’rimonim” is running through my head for some reason. Actually, maybe it’s just in the plural form that we say tootim by itself. I never heard anyone say “tutei sadeh”.
I think it means “berry.”
A tutor who tooted the flute
Tutored two tooters to toot
Said the two to the tutor
Is it easier to toot or
To tutor two tooters to toot
(old one)
Blueberries are ochmaniot.
It begins with an aleph.
blackberry and blueberry are the same word in Hebrew.
Strawberry is either Tut sadeh (rarely used), but more commonly called just plain Tut. No other tuts that I know of.
It is not like Tapuach, of which there are several varieties: tapuach etz ????? (or just plain tapuach, its common name)- apple; tapuach zahav – usually referred to as tapuz – orange; and tupuach adama, abbreviated ?????- which in plural becomes tapudim. Pomme is used similarly in French. From a quick reading, apparently both apple and pomme originally had broader meanings to imply any fruit, as LB was saying. I don’t think tapuach had that meaning, but rather tapuach adama is a literal translation of the french term for potato, pomme de terre, and tapuz was someone’s idea of being clever.
