Wait until you learn about it's called Happy Nut (開心果) in Chinese
(I know this post is about European languages but I think some people will appreciate this name)
Based as fuck.
Opening the heart (開心) is happiness in Chinese? That's funny. I only know Japanese, there it's 幸せ.
Yup, and closing the heart (關心) means you care.
Damn, the rare Portugal fitting in with Western Europe.
Actually, no. In Portuguese it's pistachio, although it's similar to the Italian way.
Don't know where they got pistache? from.
Brazilian Portuguese. We say pistache.

The Estonian one is kind of incorrect.
Right now it basically says "pistachio nut" not "pistachio". The correct one would be "pistaatsia".
Also, it's disrespecting our grammar rules, you can't split it where it is split on the image.
I honestly never heard that version given here for Serbia. We say "pistaći".

Fun fact: Catalan should be both colours for pistatxo and festuc.
Fun fact: in Polish, "fistaszek" is a peanut
Fıstık is nut in general in Turkish, this would actually start with A, Antep fıstığı (nut from Antep, a Place in turkey)
east: eat the fist
west: taking the pist
Well thats an interesting divide. From the map it looks purely geographical. Also, the albanian word looks like paint(festék) to me as a hungarian, but we already knew that albanians eat paint so thats not surprising.
That's a pretty weird F, Bulgaria...
Well, they just say s(h?)am first. I wonder if it means something like nut, or it's just some weird prefix that helps modify the meaning.
Germans calling them Pistazie lol
Fistic? Romania really? You like fistic?
I know this is more about the P/F West/East divide, and does a great job at it (and I find it great otherwise), but this is more like how to spell than how to say. Unless you speak every single language there, it will only leave you guessing about that C being 's', 'k', 'ch' or 'ts' (or some other unexpected sound).
I'm just glad both Hungary AND Finland aren't some weird cyan third thing
Bulgaria named it after Frodos best friend.
I wonder where Eastern Europe got the F version from? You'd expect them to follow the Greek version instead of the Semitic version*.
*This is the one used in Arabic, which got it from Aramic.
Ukraine should start using the P.
