ぶどう
ぶどう · budou · JLPT N4 · noun
grape
🍇 budou: boo! + dough — grapes squished into purple dough
Say it as boo-doh with a long final o. Etymology hook: 葡萄 came to Japan via Chinese putao, itself borrowed from a Central Asian word along the Silk Road, so budou and Mandarin putao are the same word in two accents.
