Usage notes
Since 的 is the possessive particle in Chinese, sometimes this place name is misunderstood as 菠蘿的海 / 菠萝的海 (bōluó de hǎi, “sea of pineapples”), and Cantonese speakers may also replace 的 (dik1) with its equivelant word 嘅 (ge3). Note that 的 is pronounced as "dì" when used in phonetic transcriptions as opposed to "de" as a possessive particle.
Similar phenomenon also occurs in the case of 的黎波里 (Dīlíbōlǐ).
