Taro--Countable or Uncountable
|
Hey there all. I �m American and never heard of taro before I came to Asia. I wonder, is it a countable or an uncountable noun? Thanks ahead of time!
Please also tell me how you know! Thanks!

Thanks. I found this link (to my surprise as I didn �t expect to find the information listed in a dictionary): http://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/taro
I guess it �s uncountable when you talk of the substance taken from the plant itself and countable when you talk about complete units of the root.
