Is there a good way to do this without mangoes? Or a fan?
You can imagine having the mangoes very vividly, it will activate the same part of your brain that would be activated as if you had the mangoes
it will activate the same part of your greeting that would be
The same part of my what?
Who writes mangoes instead of simply mangos?
I never knew some people write it differently
mangoes where he pleases
I accept “mangoes” because of the English rule that nouns that end in a consonant followed by a vowel should be padded with another vowel (“e”) before the “-s”. Another example I can think of off the top of my head is “heroes”, not “heros”.
However, I also accept “mangos” because it feels right. Wiktionary says “mango” is Portuguese, and I don’t know Portuguese, but at least in Spanish you don’t pluralize with “-es”, just “-s”.
Mango doesn’t exist in Portuguese. It’s written manga, a feminine gendered word, Portuguese being a gendered language.
Plural mangas. Doesn’t really help, but there’s your linguistic TIL.
My bad. Yeah, it’s interesting that we don’t seem to know why English calls it “mango” when every other language calls it “manga” or something else ending with the “-a”.
A lot of words in English are mispronounced/misheard/misunderstood words of things that people from the UK didn’t recognize during their exploration eras, so they asked the locals and that’s what they told everyone it was. Eventually Aussies and Americans inherited these “mistakes”.
By the time the error was found out everyone was calling it by the wrong name already, so it kinda stuck. Hell i speak Portuguese and when i speak in English i tend to say mangoes instead of mangas, even though the word mango came from the language i speak.
Eat them because mangoes are delicious.
Or make mangonadas
When life gives you mangos, don’t make mangonade. Make life take the mangos back! Get mad! I don’t want your damn mangos, what the hell am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager!
I’ll have my engineers invent a combustible mango to burn your house down! With the mangoes!
