"Eure Orangen sind groß."

Translation: Your oranges are big.

[SharathKum133955]

Is this is a sexual reference ?

[hobopuppyjoe]

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[AndyCantre1]

If you consider 'Beavis and Butthead' Shakespearean understudies then perhaps yes.

[Oui_oui_beach]

i mean-

[SabinaCald]

large should be acceptable don't be silly duolingo

[mizinamo]

Report it.

[SelfichLearning]

What is the difference between deine and eure?

[mizinamo]

deine are those belonging to du (i.e. to one person whom you know well)

eure are those belonging to ihr (i.e. to several people whom you know well)

[Robbadob]

So euer(e) is y'all's? Because I reported it.

[Robbadob]

*Euer/eure, not euer(e).

[LadyDoorJuliet]

That's so helpful! Thank you for all of your helpful tips!

[hobopuppyjoe]

Duo, you pervert!

[VineetGaik]

Why, thank you! Yours are too!

[Momo4488]

How do you pronounce "eure" because I seem to be having trouble

[Torniojaws]

"oy" from the english "Toy"
"re" from the english "Rest"

[Robbadob]

Technically, the r is more guttural, but yes.

[Alex489863]

Could also be a rolled r depending on dialect

[fehrerdef]

In some dialects, yes. But not in High German pronunciation.

[SerraKeskin]

I pronounce it like oire

[rozieland]

Difference between eure and ihre??? I cant figure it out? Do the both me your?? Sometimes ihre means her or they as well right? Someone please explain this.

[ZholG]

Eure is the possessive pronoun for something belonging to ihr ("you plural" i.e. to several people whom you know well)
for example: Eure hund ist klein = Your dog is small, (You being plural 3rd person informal), or "You people's dog is small"

Ihre is the possessive pronoun for something belonging to sie (fem 2nd person or plural 3rd person formal.) in the nominative case For example:
Die Katzen trinken ihre Milch. The cats are drinking her/their milk, which one is correct will be entirely based on context.

I know it's a bit late and you probably figured it out already, besides the fact that I'm not a native speaker so i might be entirely wrong :P ... But perhaps this is helpful for someone else!

[deactivated user]

I understand 'Sie' can also be 'you' (sing. formal), and it's possessive yould be 'ihr(e)'

[.alim]

so nobody's gonna talk about the hidden sarcasm?
u can't fool ME duolingo , i know u pretty well

[Hasanatalg]

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[DanFelker]

Curious, how do you say grapefruits?

[az_p]

In German it's also Grapefruits. In some regions they're also colloquially called Pampelmuse(n), but these are technically a separate fruit ("pomelo(s)").

[EllaDePanfluit]

Was this a sexual reference or do I just have a dirty mind

[hobopuppyjoe]

I think we just have some dirty minds ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[Leigh_Leigh]

dein / eure - difference??

[IancoviciD]

The difference between eure and euer ?

[ivonaflakus]

"Euer" is followed by masculine and neuter gender,
"Eure" is followed by femine and plural

[choowhee]

You should see meine banane

[YayaBigS]

Drity mind: Activated

[blueragardkukaz]

Thats what he said

[Hillel747011]

Which one is correct-
Euere/eure?
Or are they both correct and used for different purposes?

[fehrerdef]

only "eure" is correct

[David-019]

SabinaCald, I agree with you. For me, Duo reported groß is not "large" but "big"

[toldge]

it doesn't accept y'all's, even though that is grammatically correct and, in the South, very common

[MIMIMIRUKU]

why can't i say "Their oranges are big."

[fehrerdef]

Because "their" would be "ihre". "eure" is "your" (informal plural).

[MIMIMIRUKU]

oh right i forgot. thanks a lot

[Debsie17]

I keep putting in the right answer and it keeps telling me I am wrong!!!

[JonasTranc1]

How common is "Apfelsine" as another word for "Orange"?

[DuoDestine]

It depends on where you are. Like, I think, in Switzerland or Austria, they don't use the word at all. On Wikipedia it says that Apfelsine is used in northern Germany.

(Fun fact: In Norwegian they are called Appelsin)

[fehrerdef]

On Wikipedia it says that Apfelsine is used in northern Germany.

That's true. I was born in Northern Germany and only stumbled across the word "Orange" after having moved southwards.

[DuoDestine]

Interesting. Was there any other words of the same sort?

[fehrerdef]

Well, there are in fact so many that I can't name them all.

[JonasTranc1]

Thanks!

In Dutch they're called "sinaasappels", but in Flanders "appelsien" is used more frequently.

[DuoDestine]

You're welcome!

They're all almost based around the same word. Think it's because they're all Germanic languages?

[Sharad55645]

Should not be eure as this only applies to people whoin this case are not the subject

[fehrerdef]

???
"eure" is a possessive adjective that tells that something (in this case oranges) are owned by the persons addressed. This is cpmpletely independent of what is the subject.

[Sharad55645]

Why is this Eure and not Euer?

[fehrerdef]

Because "Orangen" is plural. "euer" is only for masculine or neuter singular. For feminine singular and plural it is "eure".

[JendaKulik]

Your oranges are great?

[fehrerdef]

No. That would be "großartig", not "groß". "groß" is "big", "large" or, for persons, "tall".
