[ryubean]

satsuma is a kind of mandarin

[BearyanaA.]

Would "Tangerines are fruits" not be accepted?

[Nahnsu]

I entered it and it was incorrect, though i think that it should be correct as abstract ideas do not need to be plural

I thought 귤 is some kind of orange?

[MiKomprenasVin]

It is. A satsuma is a kind of mandarin orange. It has loose skin and is easy to peel.

Hanja: 橘

[SeanFogart4]

According to Wikipedia:

만다린 = mandarin orange (this is the purebred wild-type line, the others are all hybrid cultivars of based on this with a bit of the pomelo/shaddock, and regular oranges are too)

귤 = tachibana orange (though tachibana=橘 is also an old, general word for (flowering) citrus-fruit trees in Japanese)

온주귤 = satsuma (in the Southern US or Britain, mikan in Japanese)

편귤 = tangerine

Iyokan may be 이요칸 or perhaps 이예감?

Okay, one part doesn't accept tangerines and now this one doesn't accept mandarins... Gotta fix this Duolingo

[Ash-Fred]

Both "Tangerines are fruit." and "Mandarins are fruit." are now accepted.
