How do you pronounce beetroot in Arabic?

There isn't a single, universally accepted Arabic translation for "beetroot." Arabic dialects vary significantly, and the word used will depend on the region and the speaker's preference. However, you'll likely encounter variations based on the descriptive approach:

* بنجر (banjar): This is the most common and widely understood word across many Arabic dialects. It's a loanword from Persian. The pronunciation is roughly "ban-jer" with a short "a" sound like in "apple" and a "j" sound like in "judge."

* شمندر (shamandar): This is another common word, particularly in some Levantine dialects. The pronunciation is roughly "sha-man-dar" with a short "a" sounds and the emphasis on the second syllable. This word is also a loanword.

So, while *banjar* is probably your best bet for general understanding, be aware that *shamandar* is also used and both are acceptable.
