What is 'wild cherry tree' in Italian?

Answer 1

"Ciliegio selvaggio" or "Ciliegio degli uccelli" is an Italian equivalent of "wild cherry tree" (Prunus avium).

The Italian word "ciliegio" is a masculine noun. Its singular definite article is "il" ("the"), and its singular indefinite article "un, uno" ("a, one"). The masculine singular adjective "selvaggio" means "savage, uncultivated, wild." The word "degli" combines the preposition "di" with the masculine plural definite article "gli" to mean "of, from the." The masculine noun "uccelli" means "birds."

All together, the pronunciation is "tchee-LYEH-djoh sehl-VAHDJ-djoh" and "tchee-LYEH-djoh deh-lyee ootch-TCHEHL-lee."
