  This goes hard.

    No, they aren’t. Fruit describes a part of a plant, vegetable is defined in a cultural way and by the way they are consumed. So there is an overlap (including tomatos, zucchini, pumpkin, …) but most fruits aren’t vegetables. When we say “fruit”, we think of those fruits that are sweet and eaten raw or in cake or marmalade, …

    German has two words that can be translated into fruit: Frucht is the part of the plant and Obst is a social category of fruits that are sweet and you would expect in a fruit salad. So tomato is Frucht but not Obst.
