Olive.
The tree is Olivo; the olives themselves are Aceitunas, but the oil is Aceite De Oliva.
This is Spanish.
Yesss!!! My dad would say “oliva” or “aceituna” but my mom, “aceituna”

It seems that there are a few common types of sounds
- O-live: English, Basque, Dutch, Czech, etc. Potentially even Albanian and Japanese which kept the “Oh-Lee…” Portion
- Zay-Toon: Arabic, Azerbaijani, Farsi, the language you are learning
Then some unique ones that still might fit into those bins:
-
Marathi is listed as “Jai-fa-la”, which is still somewhat similar to the second type
-
someone commented Gan-lan, which seems to be different
Zaytoon is also used in urdu and hindi.
