Advanced Reading / 高級文章 — 黃瓜是「綠」色 為什麼叫「黃」瓜？

黃瓜
English introduction

Have you ever wondered why the fruit ‘pineapple’ is called a pineapple if it is not an apple of a pine tree? A similar question is brought up by an internet user about cucumber, huánghuā en Chinese. Why is it called huángguā if it is not yellow but green? In this article you will find out the reason. I suggest that you read the previous post explaining the meaning of 瓜 to have a better understanding of the formation of the term 黃瓜.

Even though this article is placed in the advanced category because of some words of less frequent usage, I still encourage you to give it a try. The grammar is manageble for intermediate learners. I hope you like it!
