#if i say pita in english im probably talking abt the bread

[liquidstar]

whats weird is "pita" in english usually refers to the bread (tho ppl do know of other foods that end in -pita), but in greek "pita" is a muuuuuch more general word for breads/cakes/pies made in pans. there are so many different kinds of pitas that you can make with so many different things, for many different meals and flavors. and most of them arent like pita bread? pita bread is almost an outlier. and yet in english its like THE representation of pita. it would be like if you went to a country where the word "cake" only referred to pancakes, and every now and then people were like oh chocolate cake exists too i guess
