denneappel

Notes Aardappel ('potato') can have either an -S or an -EN plural; the -EN plural is a little old-fashioned: aardappels - aardappelen Interestingly, Dutch bloem ('white flour') also means 'flower.' The singular ui ('onion') sounds (to Dutch ears) like it's ending in W; but that W-sound is dropped in the plural uien Sinaasappel ('orange') probably originated as 'China-apple.' The general word for 'mushrooms' is paddestoelen ('toad-chairs') - champignons (said as a French word) is just the white button variety. An old-fashioned word for 'mushrooms' is zwammen - singular: (de) zwam 2 'Pineapple' is ananas in Dutch; there is an old-fashioned word pijnappel for 'pinecone,' but the common word is denneappel 2. A related (and also old-fashioned) word is pijnappelklier 2 ('pineal gland.' ) Limoenen was an old-fashioned Dutch word for 'lemons' (now: citroenen ) that was revived by a famous 70s commercial for 'Fa' soap; nowadays it's sometimes used for 'limes.'
