अंगूर (angoor)

noun A simple, single-sense noun meaning 'grape(s)' -- the fruit, fresh or dried.
Sense 1 : the fruit grape
noun, masculine
Frequency: high
Cultural Note: There's an old Hindi idiom, अंगूर खट्टे हैं (angoor khatte hain, 'the grapes are sour') -- straight from Aesop's fox, and just like in English it's used when someone dismisses something they secretly couldn't get. You'll hear it teasingly among friends: someone fails to get a job or a girl's number and their friends say, arre, angoor khatte hain!
Common Mistakes: 1) Learners sometimes treat अंगूर (angoor) as always plural in meaning since grapes are usually eaten in bunches, but grammatically it takes singular or plural agreement just like any other masculine noun depending on how many you mean. 2) Do not confuse with किशमिश (kishmish), which is the dried version (raisins), not fresh grapes.
