Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): [bop]

Etymology 1

Inherited from Proto-Slavic *bobъ, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *bʰabʰ-.

Noun

боб • (bob) m inan (genitive боба́, nominative plural бобы́, genitive plural бобо́в, relational adjective бобо́вый)

1. bean

   Synonym: фасоль (fasolʹ)

Usage notes

Apart from фасо́ль being a collective noun while бобы́ is not, the words are largely interchangeable. There may be a subconscious preference to refer to beans in a culinary context as "фасоль" and in an agricultural context as "бобы́", but this is not universal.
