What do you call swede in Telugu?

There isn't a specific, commonly used Telugu word for "swede" (the root vegetable). However, you could use a few options depending on the context:

* "గడ్డ కూర" (Gadḍa kūra): This translates to "root vegetable" and is a general term that could be used for swede.

* "స్వీడిష్ కూర" (Swīḍīsh kūra): Literally "Swedish vegetable", which would be understood by those familiar with the vegetable.

* "నల్ల కూర" (Nalla kūra): This means "black vegetable", and while not a perfect translation, it might be used as a descriptor for the dark skin of the swede.

Ultimately, the best way to refer to swede in Telugu would be to simply explain what it is: "స్వీడిష్ దేశానికి చెందిన ఒక రకమైన కూరగాయ" (Swīḍīsh dēśāniki chendina oka rakamāna kūragāyā) - "a type of vegetable from Sweden".
