Mine is oliva but azeitona in the language I’ve been studying :)
Măslină (romanian)
オリーブ
Azeitona in Portuguese
The tree is Olivo; the olives themselves are Aceitunas, but the oil is Aceite De Oliva.
This is Spanish.
Maslina in Serbian
Oliven
Olive.
Literal psy-op
Olijf (Dutch)
I thought to myself that this must exist as a service, no? So I found this:
Its zeytin in turkish, what language are you studying?
橄榄 “gan lan”
Aceituna en español
Olive

It seems that there are a few common types of sounds
- O-live: English, Basque, Dutch, Czech, etc. Potentially even Albanian and Japanese which kept the “Oh-Lee…” Portion
- Zay-Toon: Arabic, Azerbaijani, Farsi, the language you are learning
Then some unique ones that still might fit into those bins:
-
Marathi is listed as “Jai-fa-la”, which is still somewhat similar to the second type
-
someone commented Gan-lan, which seems to be different
Zaytoon is also used in urdu and hindi.
