I canโt wait to go back to Japan. Fall is my favorite time of year. I love the /momiji (red leaves) and the ginkgo but I always get laughed at a little when I say that. Apparently someone mistranscribed the correct Japanese spelling and we all say it wrong. It should be gingko (gin-kyo).

Oh,is "gingko" english word? I think the correct Japanese term is pronounced "ichล" for the tree, and "ginnan" for the seeds.

Whatโs so sad is that someoneโs mistranslation became the scientific name for the tree! Ginkgo biloba The genus name is regarded as a misspelling of the Japanese pronunciation โgin kyลโ for the kanji ้ๆ. People always giggle when I say it.

Teenagers told me Iโm calling the trees โbanksโ but itโs funny because the leaves are gold so it sounds like Iโm making a pun.
