Notes to answerer
Asker: Can blacberry be توت أسود ? I dont know because Mawrid says ثمر العليق with both "Rasberry" and "blackberry" So I don't even know if العليق is another word for توت!! As for Golden, can you kindly tell me why we say ابيض and not أصفر ? Thanks a lot for your time

Asker: I wrote توت العليق on google images and I found Raspberry too!!! So I think I will translate blackberry as توت أسود becuase this word عليق is not only for blackberry. ALso it will be clearer to the viewers from العليق Thanks a lot
