Hi! I am an English speaker learning Spanish, and I was wondering if there are two different words for lemon/lime or lime or if they use the same word. Thank you!

Re:How to say lemon/lime in Spanish?
Hello! Lemon is "Limón" and lemon is "Lima". In Argentina, Limones are the yellows ones and Limas are the green ones. I hope I could be helpfully! Chau!

Re:Re:How to say lemon/lime in Spanish?
Hello Lynda, perhaps someone just clear your doubt, but in Mexico we use to say "Limon" to the green little one, and "lima" for the bigger one (green too) the difference between both is, the little one (limon) its acid, and the other one (lima) its a mix, like sweet and acid. And we have a yellow one too, that we call "limon amarillo" and its the classic lemmon that people in US use to make the lemmonade.
Hola Lynda, quiza alguien aclaro ya tu duda, pero en Mexico le llamamos limon al que es pequeño y verde y lima a uno un poco mas grande, verde tambien. La diferencia consiste en que el limon es mas acido y la lima es una combinacion entre dulce y acido. Tambien tenemos lo que llamamos limon amarillo, que es el clasico limon que las personas en US usan para preparar su clasica limonada.
Espero haber sido de ayuda. Saludos.

I agree with what Carlos said. I always heard "limon" for the little green ones that in Canada would be called limes.

Re:How to say lemon/lime in Spanish?
Hello Hannah, I'm from Spain and here "Lemon" is translated as "Limón" (yellow ones) and "lime" is translated as "lima" (smaller and green). Those are two different fruits. You can also say "lima limón" to refer to the "lime-lemon" flavour on certain drinks, sweets, etc. I hope it was helpful.
