    Oliven, Norwegian. For some reason it’s an uncountable noun.

      This is for the purpose of being able to eat as many olives as you like and it cannot be counted.

      How many olives did you eat?

      Hmm, I ate olive.

      Except our ‘e’ isn’t silent but pronounced as the ‘a’ in ‘air’ and the ‘o’ sound like the one in ‘or’.

        Yep. Spanish has a number of Arabic loan words, given Spain was conquered by the moors for a bit.

        In french argot, people still say zitoune (zitun), I believe they got it from the algerians. Otherwise it’s just “olive”
