Here is another mildy interesting fact, in Swedish we group onions and garlic together by using the word “lök” with a color and different spacing to differentiate them:

“lök” - onion

“gul lök” - onion or yellow onion

“röd lök” - red onion

“vitlök” - garlic

We never talk about “vit lök”, it doesn’t really exist as a concept in Swedish, but we have more types of “lök”…

“gräslök” directly translates to “grass onion”, but the proper translation is “chives”

“prujolök” is the Swedish name for “leek”
