There are many words that mean the same thing in other languages (you would call it cognate). At least close enough for Minionese, i.e. mother, angel, coffee. I can't believe how much energy I have spent investigating the language of a, as another discusser called it, "chunk of landfill". It's a cartoon, don't take…

It is English, means banana of course. Mc'D's says Minionese words are not in any way related to English. Well "fuck" that, I say, lol.

Regarding McDonald's disclaimer re "Minionese" , what about "banana"?
