I could try to but I don't need to. The fact that you could easily name some fruits that aren't berries is proof enough that you have a concept of what a berry is and what isn't. Coming up with a definition would be the next step.

So I agree that "definition" is the wrong word. I should have said "concept". Besides: what's wrong with definitions that are just a list of elements?

I mean personally I always thought it was fucking stupid that a strawberry is the same kind of thing as a blueberry but a grape isn’t. Apparently Iceland agrees.

It's all a social construct. It exists because and as long as we all agree on it. So it's flexible and not set in stone, nor scientifically falsifiable
