- estebank 2y agoI re watched it a few times to ensure it said plátano before posting, and it honestly doesn't sound like it to me.
- david-gpu 2y agoI'm a Spaniard and to my ears it clearly sounds like "Es una manzana y un plátano". What's strange to me is that, as far as I know, "plátano" is only commonly used in Spain, but the accent of the AI voice didn't sound like it's from Spain. It sounds more like an American who speaks Spanish as a second language, and those folks typically speak some Mexican dialect of Spanish.
- afc 2y agoI'm from Colombia and mostly say "plátano".
- david-gpu 2y agoGood to know. I thought Colombians said "banano". That's what a Colombian friend of mine says.
- InvaderFizz 2y agoI was about to comment the same thing about the accent. Even to my gringo ears, it sounds like an American speaking Spanish. Plátano is commonly used for banana in Mexico, just bought some at a Soriana this weekend.
- david-gpu 2y agoI thought "plátano" is only used for plantains in Latin America, and Cavendish is typically called "banana" instead. I'm likely wrong, though.
- dragonwriter 2y agoAt least IME, and there may be regional or other variations I’m missing, people in México tend to use “plátano” for bananas and “plátano macho” for plantains.
- nomdep 2y agoIn Spain, it's like that. In Latin America, it was always "plátano," but in the last ten years, I've seen a new "global Latin American Spanish" emerging that uses "banana" for Cavendish, some Mexican slang, etc. I suspect it's because of YouTube and Twitch.
- david-gpu 2y agoIn Spain, plátano is used for Cavendish and plantains are rarely consumed. I am a Spaniard.
- Xirgil 2y agoInteresting, I was reading some comments from Japanese users and they said the Japanese voice sounds like a (very good N1 level) foreigner speaking Japanese.
- vitus 2y ago> "plátano" is only commonly used in Spain The wiktionary page for "plátano" has a map illustrating how various Spanish-speaking countries refer to the banana. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/pl%C3%A1tano#/media/File:Porpa%C3%ADs_banana_pl%C3%A1tano.svg https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/pl%C3%A1tano#/media/File:Porp... My principal association with plátano is plaintain, personally, but I am not a Spanish speaker.
- vitorgrs 2y agoplátano is used in several Spanish-speaking countries, such as Mexico and Chile.
