Pineapple is the same word in Dutch, German and Turkish.
English is German, Celtic, French, Greek…just a mut of a language 😂 however, Modern English is more related to French. “Blue”, “Sausage” are said in a French style and Apple is German in its origin but French in its style in how we say the word.
There's also Flemish.
Out of these four, I found the easiest one is both african and english, and the hardest one being the Germans 🤣🤣
