If the topic was about which was better, banana vs apples or something like that, and I was asked which I preferred - I`d side with the banana side saying バナナですね.
And finally, if I were eating banana and someone asked me "What is that you`re eating?" I`d answer with バナナですよ.

No, wait, I`ll add another. I often answer with ~ですけど? but am having trouble coming up with a somewhat believable situation to apply it to bananas.

It depends very much on the situation.

I do have to admit I can come up with pretty much no scenario in which I would say バナナですわ unless it involved imitating someone.

(Actually, in reply to the first question, *I* would answer with something more like バナナじゃないんですかね.)


If anyone is trying to find me… Tamyuun on Instagram is probably the easiest.
