"A woman eats oranges."

Translation: Eine Frau isst Orangen.

[sleepy_gonzalez]

Why can't I answer with 'Die Frau isst Orangen' as well as 'Eine Frau isst Orangen'?

[tedexline]

Die=The, Eine=A.

[dpatt711]

It says the other answer is Eine Frau isst Apfelsinen. for A woman eats oranges

[christian]

What's your question? "Apfelsine" is another word for "Orange".

[dpatt711]

is there a specific time to use one or the other?

[christian]

It's more of a regional thing. "Apfelsine" is more or less only used in northern and central Germany.

[Eeny]

Why not Eine Dame instead of Eine Frau?

[wataya]

"Eine Dame" = "a lady"

[EvdogMusic]

What's wrong with "essen" in this case?
