Yet another oddity between the Slavic languages... Where ovochni is just a
little too close to the Russian word for Vegetable, it certainly means Fruit
in several other Slavic languages where Russian has transplanted Frukti.
There are a number of words that don't cross-translate well between these
related languages - like Avaria - which means damage in Polish, but is an
accident in Russian (Like Fruits & Vegetables, Damage and Accidents are
somewhat related but don't provide the desired meaning if compared side by
side).
