अमरूद (amrood)

noun A common fruit name: guava. Single-sense, concrete noun -- no complications here.
Sense 1 : guava (the fruit)
noun, masculine
Frequency: high
Cultural Note: Winter in Delhi-NCR means street carts piled with amrud, often sold with a little packet of bhuna namak and masala for sprinkling on top -- ask for अमरूद मसाले के साथ (amrood masaale ke saath, 'guava with the spice mix') and you will get a knowing nod from the thelewaala.
Common Mistakes: 1) Learners sometimes assume gender from the final आ (aa) and guess feminine, but अमरूद (amrood) is masculine -- अमरूद मीठा है (amrood miithaa hai, 'the guava is sweet'), not मीठी (miithii).
