English also use regional terms for confections:In

Ireland and some Commonwealth countries, "sweets", or "sweeties", particularly in
Scotland (sweeties resembles the
Scottish Gaelic word suiteis in both pronunciation and meaning) and among children.In
Australia and
New Zealand, "lollies". In
North America, "candy" - although this term can also refer to a specific range of confectionery and does not include some items called confectionery (e.g. pastry) (See below and the separate article on
