Russian edit
Etymology edit
Borrowed from Polish fasola, from Latin phaseolus.

Noun edit
фасо́ль • (fasólʹ) f inan (genitive фасо́ли, nominative plural фасо́ли, genitive plural фасо́лей)
- (uncountable, collectively) beans
- Synonym: бобы (boby)
Usage notes edit
Apart from фасо́ль being a collective noun while бобы́ is not, the words are largely interchangeable. There may be a subconscious preference to refer to beans in a culinary context as "фасоль" and in an agricultural context as "бобы́", but this is not universal.
