What's the Korean word for banana?
I don't know, but a Korean publisher has bought translation rights to Once Upon a Banana. I know David painted all the signs blank, with the sign text an overlay for just this reason -- so that translations would be possible. But wow, Korean? If they are able to make it all rhyme I'll be amazed!

Bananas are really popular in S. Korea. Used to be a popular gift item because they weren't commonly available--now they are. The pronunciation is:
ba (bah)
na (nah)with an accent
na (na short a)
for emphasis, the ba maybe accented.
