GalicianEdit
Alternative formsEdit
EtymologyEdit
From Old Galician-Portuguese oliva, from Latin olīva. The preservation of intervocalic /l/ is irregular, so it was perhaps borrowed from Mozarabic. Modern pronunciation is adapted from Spanish, since olive and olive oil is not produced in most of Galicia.
PronunciationEdit
NounEdit
oliva f (plural olivas)
- olive (fruit)
Related termsEdit
- oliveira (“olive tree”)
