ثمرة

Arabic to English Other Food & Drink
دخلت عليها في المطبخ، وإذا هي تسلق بالقدر عدة حبات من البطاطس، وفجأة وإذا بها تخرج ثمرة بطاطس من الماء المغلي

from: http://www.aawsat.com/leader.asp?section=3&issueno=11320&art...

I know this means "yield" or "fruit" but I was wondering if it could mean "one" here? Also if you could advise the dialect, that'd be great.

Thank you!

هنا انت لا تريدين ترجمه حرفية و بالانكليزي يوجد كلمة نوة و فاكهة فقط و بالنسبة للنص هنا فهو غني بكلمة ثمرة العربية التي ليس لها مقابل في اللغة الانكليزية الفقيرة و هم يذكرون قطعة بطاطس او قطعة خبز و كما نعلم اكثر الاشياء في الانكليزية غير معدودة.

Hi Andrew, I saw you're asking about the dialect, but this is correct Arabic and is used by everybody.
