Basically. As a native Arab speaker this felt easy for me but i think it was easy for everyone. Btw we do have 3 vowels that we write for extended syllables, such as in Moon or Leech or Lamb.

It's like that in Hebrew too. And some words are the same just with different vowels. Which makes it confusing. This quiz was easy for me because of Hebrew.

Those vowels are not written in daily usage. They are normally only used in the Quran and in children's books.

I don't think coconut is a fruit, it's a nut
islabonita

Level 45
Oct 11, 2019
A coconut is a fibrous one-seeded drupe. A drupe is a FRUIT with a hard stony covering enclosing the seed like a peach or olive. The term "coconut" can refer to the whole coconut palm, the seed, or the fruit, which botanically is a drupe, not a nut.

Isn't there a fruit called a bilberry? Should be an alternative to blueberry.
enismirdal

Yep, I tried bilberry first and was surprised it didn't accept, because it fitted. I would suggest making bilberry an acceptable answer.

@Elan - Surprisingly, many plants are only native to specific areas of the world. While shipping and cultivation can introduce these plants or their products to new areas, they might still not be as well-known in those areas as plants that are already native there. Thus, while blueberries are quite well-known in North America, where they are native, the closely-related bilberry may quite possibly be more well-known in many areas of their native Europe.

I only knew it because it's one of the ingredients in Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce. (I'm a label-reader due to family members with food allergies and an unfamiliar ingredient always makes me do more research on it to make sure it's safe.)

It can be. I think in this case, the 'y' in blueberry or in cranberry would be a vowel.

A,E,I,O,U, and sometimes Y is the how the English vowels work.
Cordelia75

Level 56
Jun 13, 2022
Y is a vowel when it sounds like a vowel, usually a long “e” as in berry or long “i” as in thyme. A vowel is “A speech sound, such as (ē) or (ĭ), created by the relatively free passage of breath through the larynx and oral cavity, usually forming the most prominent and central sound of a syllable.” Y is a consonant when it sounds like it does in “yellow.” A consonant is “a speech sound that is articulated with complete or partial closure of the vocal tract.”

kinkajou22

Level 19
Dec 21, 2020
Agave is technically not a fruit, because a fruit is the thing that holds the seeds. Since there is no seeds in the agave's sugar, I don't think it's a fruit.

In English, "y" mostly represents a vowel and seldom a consonant. It counts as a vowel in words like "blueberry" or "monkey" but a consonant in "yacht" or "beyond" (although in the second case, it is technically a "semi-vowel" or a "vowel-like consonant").

I'm surprised how many people are questioning why agave doesn't work, when if they actually just checked with a quick Google search, they'd know it definitely isn't a fruit, but a large leafy, completely fruit-less plant.

Agave syrup comes from the sap of the plant.

Although I'm also the person who had to leave "lime" to the end despite getting tamarind, so I don't claim to be the smartest either :D
