nol-kole

Nol-kole is a Bengali term for kohlrabi, a vegetable from the cabbage family. Not concerning, just food vocabulary. If your kid uses it constantly, ask them where they first heard it, not to police their speech but to understand which online community they are in. Most slang of this kind moves through TikTok and group chats, so seeing it in your child's vocabulary just means they are plugged into normal teen internet culture.

Nol-kole is a Bengali term for kohlrabi, a turnip-shaped vegetable from the cabbage family. Use in Bengali culinary and cultural contexts. Formal equivalent: "kohlrabi." Common non-native mistake: confusing with similar-sounding vegetables. Nol-kole specifically refers to kohlrabi, used in Bengali cooking in stews and curries. Read or listen to the word in context several times before trying it yourself; the right register is harder to learn than the dictionary meaning.
