For qfreed:
Plátanos are more little in size and expensive (related to kg) than bananas. Normally plátanos come from Spain (Canarias is the most famous).
Bananas normally come from Center América, they are bigger size and cheaper, but less tasty.
And another thing, banana tree and platano tree are different, one was short (I think banana tree) and the other one was really tall, but I don't remember clearly which one.
Aha!! A fascinatingly geeky thread this one! Spanish speakers from different parts of the world can wax quite passionate and lyrical about the many versions and forms of the fruit from musa paradisiaca, so simply known in English as "banana"!
We are all sure that we say it the right way in our country, and everyone else is dead wrong! ![]()
I know you guys love these games of word versions, so I'll propose a few, and see if anyone can think of more!
For the regular sweet banana that you normally eat raw and everyone thinks of as a favorite monkey food I have: Banana Banano Cambur Guineo Plátano With a few varieties thrown in: Guineo, manzano, titiaro, bebé
Some of the varieties that you eat cooked: Plátano Plátano macho Guineo /Banano/Cambur: topocho, hawaiiano, verde.
Of course, it would be "Dos..." of whichever kind you happen to want to eat! :-D

I am from the eastern part of Cuba (Oriente province) and we call a banana a "guineo" and a plaintain is called "platano". However, most of Cuba would call a banana a "platano". In the Dominiican Republic, they also call a banana a "guineo'.
Those with a love for trivia may enjoy reading this article from Wikipedia (¡En español, por supuesto!). The fascinating thing about all the different varieties of bananas is that genetically all banana plants are the same. So experimentally you can't really tell what kind of fruit a given plant is going to yield until it actually bears the fruit!

Banana, banano y plátano son términos generales para todas las variedades de los mismos, el uso de cada uno es regional. En el habla común no es relevante la diferencia biológica entre plátano y banana.
Don't forget there is a diference between banano/a or guineo (in some places) = banana, and plátano = plantain.
For me banano/a is the smaller yellow fruit that can be eaten ripe. The plátano is the bigger, green one that has to be cooked (fried, baked) to be edible.
Hope this helps.
