Pineapple is a tropical fruit with a spiky exterior and sweet-tart flesh. The word is a two-syllable noun: PI-neap-ple, though many speakers treat it as a two-mora word with primary stress on the first syllable. It’s commonly used in casual and culinary contexts, and appears frequently in phrases like “pineapple juice” or “pineapple upside-down cake.”
