When I grew up, I only knew of “kaki” to mean “ friend” in Singlish (a colloquial form of English in Singapore).
When I was living in Japan, I found out that persimmons are called “kaki” there. I discovered that persimmons are also called “kaki” in Germany when I just moved to Leipzig. I felt that I got to know “kaki” in Germany, through “kaki” in Japan.
Unfortunately, I don’t like persimmons. The smell puts me off.
