Talk:Yuzu

message: My Iwanami dictionary has yuzu in hiragana, not katakana. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Fg2 (talk • contribs).
: Your dictionary is wrong.  In scientific contexts the names of plants and animals, when not spelled in kanji, are always in katakana in Japanese. Jpatokal 11:12, 18 Jul 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: That statement is presumptuous, untrue, and irrelevant. The dictionary is not wrong, because words for plants and animals are not always used in a "scientific context". I've often seen in "yuzu" spelled in hiragana. Boneyard90 (talk) 21:14, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: English words are often written in all caps, doesn't mean we should be entering them in Wikipedia that way.  The scientific name is katakana and the 'formal' name (for lack of a better word) is kanji. See also :ja:ユズ. Jpatokal (talk) 00:10, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I understand what you're saying with the all-caps comparison, though I don't think it's fully apt here. Hiragana is used for yuzu (and other plants, fruits, animals) to re-affirm that it is a part of Japan, or the constructed reality of Japanese culture; that "Japanese-ness" has been imparted on it, despite its origin. By way of example, look at the photo of the yuzu-vinegar in the article: yuzu is spelled in hiragana. I've seen the same for ninniku, shoga, and other products, on bottles and in menus. Therefore, the dictionary is not wrong, and these words are not "always" in either kanji or katakana. (By the way, good job in keeping up with this article after seven years!)

replies: text: Yes, my remark back in 2004 was a little strongly worded...  but point is, I don't feel it's necessary to include the hiragana here, and the Japanese Wikipedia seems to agree.  The original reason for my annoyance was probably that many Japan-themed Wikipedia articles seem to include random hiragana because that's all the otaku writing them can read, but that doesn't mean we need kana for every げいしゃ and とよとみひでよし out there.

replies: text: On that point, I agree. Boneyard90 (talk) 12:50, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

message: If Chinese 柚子 is pomelo, not yuzu, then what is the Chinese name for what is called yuzu in Japanese (and which apparently originally came from China, and still grows wild in some parts of China, but is generally not grown commercially there)?  And why do Japanese use the characters for pomelo to describe their yuzu?  This is all important to discuss instead of/before just removing interwikis from the article.

replies: text: Shogakukan's Chinese-Japanese dictionary says Chinese "香橙" means yuzu and "柚子" means pomelo. Shogakukan's Japanese-Chinese dictionary says yuzu is "柚" or "柚子" in Chinese. Sanseido's Daily Concise C-J says Chinese "香橙" means daidai and "柚" means pomelo. Sanseido's J-C says yuzu is "柚" or "柚子" in Chinese. Gakken's kanji dictionary says "柚" now refers to pomelo and Japanese name "yuzu" came from "柚子". Heibonsha World Encyclopedia says Chinese "柚" now refers to pomelo. --163.139.215.193 13:19, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

message: Citrus aurantium is the same thing as yuzu and bitter orange.  The two should be combined.--208.0.20.2 18:55, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, radish and daikon are both Raphanus sativus, but they have different articles. —Keenan Pepper 20:28, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: You can see from the history that "aurantium" first appeared in this edit. Please do change it if all these sources say it's wrong. —Keenan Pepper 19:38, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Done. ...It looks like the bad info came from the Specialty Produce Co. linked page... sigh. Krnntp 18:01, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Meld with Bitter Orange

message: There's a sour citrus fruit which Bengalis cook and eat especially in their curries, but I'm not sure if it's a pomelo or a yuzu - can someone confirm whether this is a yuzu or not so I can change the article as it says that it's grown only in the Far East part of Asia. --—Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.200.73.99 (talk • contribs) 
:Is it possible you're describing a Kinnow? I don't know of any sour Bengali citrus (other than regular lemons and limes), and I usually use these juices, or Kokum or Tamarind as souring agents in my curries. Badagnani 18:35, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: What is the color, shape, and diameter of this fruit you are referring to? Also, please ask some Bengali friends and relatives for the Bengali name of this fruit so that we can check on this for you. Badagnani 18:40, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

text: The ugli fruit is a 20th century hybrid and is not sour, it's sweet. Visually, the ugli fruit resembles the yuzu very closely, but the yuzu is quite sour. Thus, the shatkora may be closer to the yuzu than the ugli fruit, if it wasn't introduced from Jamaica, where the ugli fruit was developed/hybridized in 1914. Let's keep working on this.

text: Shatkora link. Cannot find the species name. Badagnani 20:13, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

text: Very good, are you in Bangladesh now? I still can't determine the species of this fruit. Badagnani 16:46, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

text: So you just bought them in the UK? Grown in Sylhet and imported all the way there? We've got to get to the bottom of the species of this, and I'm certain we will, eventually. Badagnani 17:36, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
