The word fruit is called “Hannu” in Kannada language. A list for Kannada names of different fruits is given below:

Pear- berikkai, sībekāyi

Dragon Fruit- Ḍryāgan haṇṇu

Mango – māvu, Maavina Hannu

Banana - bāḷehaṇṇu

Pineapple- anānas haṇṇu

Apple – sēbu

Grapes - drākṣigaḷu, dhrakshi

Orange - kittaḷe

Custard Apple - kasṭarḍ sēbu

Guava- Pyarilhannu, Sibe hannu

Cherry – kempaneya

Coconut – Thenginakayi, teṅgu

Papaya – Parangi haṇṇu

Jackfruit- Halasina hannu

Water Melon- Kallangadi Hannu

Dates – Kharjoora

One wonders what fruits like avocado, kiwi and strawberry would be called in Kannada. These are not Indian fruits and their names in Hindi are also lesser known. It is interesting to note that Sapota fruit, known as Chiku in Hindi is called Sapota itself in Kannada!!!
