What is a Spanish fruit or vegetable that starts with a w or has a w in it

Question

i need this for a project and I CANNOT find one with a w

Answer 1

I don't understand why so many Spanish teachers have the extravagant idea of giving students the task of finding a word that starts with this or that. What is the point from the educational point?

Anyway, this is a question we get several times every week. The W is a Germanic letter, not a Spanish one, so the very few letters with W in Spanish (less than 0.01%) are all from foreign origin. I'll give you "kiwi", a word taken from the indigenous language of New Zealand: Maori.

You are 9 seconds better than me. :-) - KevinB, Sep 3, 2011

Answer 2

Kiwi? It's the same in English and Spanish.

Answer 3

How about awacate? (aguacate) ...... I kid, I kid.

lol, jeezle ... I was thinking along the same lines. Why not guayaba? The "gua" Is the closest to an English "w" sound that Spanish naturally has. - gintar77, Sep 3, 2011

In answer to Lazzy’s post…

I quite agree with you. A lot of teachers give us work like this that isn’t really even educational in any way.

...Dad said he also agrees.
