Hi,

I would just say 'bunches of bananas'. But when I talk about bananas, I usually just say 'some bananas'.

One reason we don't use special words much is that, in Canada, we never see bananas actually growing.

 

We have lots of different ways of describing snow. Do you?

 

Best wishes, Clive

'Bunches'.  Smaller ones (as in the market) are also called 'hands'.

Thanks Clive and MM.

 

Clive, we don't have snows in this part of the world. But we have lots of rains.
