pineapples
- 1Plural of pineapple.
Tropical farms ship pineapples to markets around the world.
She sliced two pineapples for the fruit salad.
Note
A regular plural that counts whole things: fruits on a market stall, plants in a field. When the fruit is food rather than objects, English usually drops the plural (some pineapple in the salad, a slice of pineapple), so the -s signals separate, countable items. In Australian slang the count can be money, since pineapples are also fifty-dollar notes.
