What is “olive” in your language?
Mine is aceituna but azeitona in the language I’ve been studying :)
оливка/олива, russian!
Olive.
Olijf, in Dutch
I thought to myself that this must exist as a service, no? So I found this:
Azeitona in Portuguese
The tree is Olivo; the olives themselves are Aceitunas, but the oil is Aceite De Oliva.
This is Spanish.
Yesss!!! My dad would say “oliva” or “aceituna” but my mom, “aceituna”

Have you tried asking Google Translate?
I don't think they need a specific answer, but rather they want to comment on the different variations
They are attention whoring, nothing better to do.
LOL.

It seems that there are a few common types of sounds
- O-live: English, Basque, Dutch, Czech, etc. Potentially even Albanian and Japanese which kept the "Oh-Lee..." Portion
- Zay-Toon: Arabic, Azerbaijani, Farsi, the language you are learning
Then some unique ones that still might fit into those bins:
-
Marathi is listed as "Jai-fa-la", which is still somewhat similar to the second type
-
someone commented Gan-lan, which seems to be different
Zay-toon is also common in languages from the Iberic Peninsula: both Spanish and Portuguese got it (and a few other words) from Arabic.
Zaytoon is also used in urdu and hindi.
