Orangen can also be called Apfelsine

True, but Apfelsinen is still a valid translation and very common among Northerners.

[BarbaraAU]

Is Bursche also an accepted term for 'boy'?

[mizinamo]

No, not on this course.

In my experience, it's... not exactly rude, but perhaps a slightly coarse word for a boy. More like "chap" or "fellow" or perhaps even "lout".

It's possible that in some dialects it's the normal word for a boy, but not (in my experience) in standard German.

[Jaime836972]

Couldn't this sentence be interpreted also as "the boy is eating oranges"?

Why isn't Knabe acceptable?
