Talk:caperberry

I would like to know what caperberries can be useful for.

Wikipedia may have that information. If they don't, they should. I'm pretty sure that it does not, however, belong here, being encyclopedic. --Haplology (talk) 13:54, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

Caperberry

@Surjection: A caper is the bud of the caperbush, a caperberry is the fruit that develops later out of it. They are sold canned separately under different names, this is the motive why I added requests for languages from developed countries where capers are not grown, and your translating it with the same word as for caper, kapris, is not plausible. Or are the supermarket shelves in Finland emptier than in Germany? 🤨 Fay Freak (talk) 14:48, 5 February 2020 (UTC)

Can't say I've ever seen a difference being made between them here. Various sources seem to be point as kaprismarja or kapriskurkku for caperberry specifically, but I can't find any real evidence for them being actually used all that often. — surjection ⟨?⟩ 14:53, 5 February 2020 (UTC)

@Surjection: Well kaprismarja seems to be real on various cooking websites also accounting for inflected forms, and the Jehova’s Witnesses made it official part of their Bible translations, Ecclesiastes 12:5, which is correct for אֲבִיּוֺנָה, explained in detail by Keil-Delitzsch X p. 400–402, as opposed to “almond tree” of widespread obsolete translations. So it should be in every Bible. Fay Freak (talk) 15:42, 5 February 2020 (UTC)

Sure, but even then, even something like varrellinen kapris is a lot more common, if a distinction needs to be made. Either way, I changed the translations around a bit. — surjection ⟨?⟩ 16:39, 5 February 2020 (UTC)
