pine

A pine is a type of evergreen tree that's often found in the countryside or even in your backyard.

You might know that people use words like "pine" and "Christmas" together because pine trees are a popular choice for decorating during the holiday season. But the word "pine" comes up in all sorts of everyday conversations, too - like when someone says they're planning to go skiing on the mountain where the pines grow thickly, or when you hear that a certain type of wood is known as "pine" because it's harvested from these trees.
