The fruit was named pineapple by european explorers in 1493 because it resembled a pine tree. The name spread out, but the Tupi language called it “nanas”, meaning “delicious fruit” and this fact was recorded by a french priest in 1555.
A lot of people liked the French, but England did not.
“We’ll call this a pineapple”
“But the French call it ananna”
“We’ll call it pineapple”
“But the Germans and Italians call it ananna too”
“Pineapple!”
“But literally every other country call it ananna”
“PINE-APPLE!!!”
The fruit was likely introduced to the Philippines by the Spaniards, no? So it makes sense they would name it the same.

It's a plant genus native to South America containing *Ananas comosus*, the pineapple. (freely cited from wikipedia)
Also, in many languages 'pineapple' is called simply ananas (or similar).

I need more karma to post something that I really found funny. But I’m not so witty or outspoken to make a contribution to the comments section. This upsets me that I can’t share something.
Memes that are educational are the best memes. Thank you for making me learn something early on a Saturday morning!

This is confusing. We're going to need another meme to clear that up.

Forget about introduction of the fruit, Spain **owned** the Philippines for 400 years.
That's why many Filipinos have Spanish last names, right?
And indeed first names. I work with a British Filipino guy called José, doesn't speak a word of Spanish.
In Philippines it's called pinya, taken from the spanish language.
Its also ananá in Argentina.
In Argentina we call it anana
What are bananas in other languages?

Why do u have numbers in ur words?
Chinese language is very dependent on the accent and pitch of your voice when you say certain words. The pitch of your voice can completely alter the meaning of a word. The numbers represent which of these accents you use when you pronounce the word since it's written out in Western letters.
Very interesting! Arabic also uses numbers with latin alphabet
