all for banana

The Japanese have been using a little of Arabic words in their daily life (However, they don't know that)!! For example, coffee is an Arabic word. In Arabic, we say kahwa and we write قهوة .
Arabian coffee is very different from Japanese coffee. Arabic coffee smells good, but flavor is very sweet and strong! ! Please try it!!

Then, the Zero is derived from Arabic. The Arabic word for zero is cipher صفر. Sugar is derived from the Arabic word succar سكر.

Another interesting word is banana! Long, long time ago, Arab merchants traveled to Africa. It was the first time they discover banana: "This is a strange fruit, it looks like a "finger", then let's call it "finger"!". In Arabic Banan بنان means finger! Currently, the world's banana is used all over the world.
