Fruits in Russian || Our First Word(s)

Learning basic Russian words can be a fun way to get a feel of the language.

It’s widely regarded that our motivation for learning a new language is at it’s peak in the earlier stages because that is when you learn more.

FruitФруктfrukt

Фрукт and Плод are both words for fruit in Russian, but they have slightly different meanings.

“Фрукт” (frukt) is a general term for any kind of edible fruit, regardless of its botanical characteristics.

It can refer to fruits that are sweet or sour, juicy or dry, and it can be used to refer to fruits that grow on trees, bushes, or vines.

“Плод” (plod) is a more specific term that refers to the reproductive structures of plants.

It is typically used to refer to fruits that are produced by plants that have flowers and seeds enclosed in a fruit.

This includes fruits such as apples, oranges, and bananas, but does not include fruits like berries, nuts, and seeds, which are not considered true fruits.

In everyday language, “Фрукт” and “Плод” are often used interchangeably, but in botanical or agricultural contexts, “Плод” may be used more specifically to refer to the botanical structure, while “Фрукт” is used more broadly to refer to any edible fruit.

Don’t worry too much about the subtleties like this though – learn both words, and you’re set!

Onwards to the fruits…
