I'll start with the berries! These little bright joys of our gray everyday life. I think there is not a single person who does not like to eat berries! They are so different, so beautiful and delicious! Today I made a list of berries with photos and names, and in some places, etymology. It will be interesting! Of interest here is the fact that in English language Most berry names are formed by adding a word to the root berry.

There is also a difference in the concept of the word “berry” in English and Russian. So, for example, we consider cherries to be a berry, but the British consider them to be a fruit. But from a botanical point of view, a cherry is neither a berry nor a fruit, but a plant with a “drupe” fruit! From a scientific point of view, by the way, lemon is a berry, but raspberries are not. In connection with this confusion, I will talk about berries in the generally accepted sense of the word, trying to take into account the features of both languages.
