We all called this fruit Zeytuun...But we found out that Zeytuun is actually the Olives...

When we used to read: Wa zeytuuni, waduuri ziniin..I always thought that was the guava...

This sort of thing happens in different regions of Somalia. For instance, Northerners (Waqooyi Galbeed) call suugo (for spaghetti) maraq, while Southies call it proper suugo (from Italian sugo).

It's confusing and unoriginal to have two fruits of the same name. That's what's wrong with it.

Baasto iyo Maraq

I know landers say Xabxab for Watermelon (xabxab is arabic) whilst we say Qare.

Zaytuun is guava.

Why should what Arabs call it matter?

Guava:

Guanabana/Soursop:

From what I have been told, the latter is the Somali zeytuun.

Well Zeytuun is Olive in the Qur'an too...you can see the confusion it caused when you read kambuli's post.
