In today's podcast you will learn the names for some fruits and vegetables that are used in salad. We will also teach you how to ask someone to get these things for you or how to deal with such requests.
Another great lesson; thanks guys. And great to hear guests dropping by as well.
I learnt طماطم for tomatoes; is that more colloquial as it seems a transliteration from English -- or in use in Egypt? [my teacher when I learnt vegetables was from Egypt]
@climacus, طماطم is another word for tomato and is widely used. It's used a lot in colloquial in the Gulf and Egypt, whereas بندورة is used a lot colloquially in Levantine.
