"An orange is a fruit."

Translation: En appelsin er en frugt.

[A.Connell]

So can it be assumed that 'the orange' is 'appelsinen'?

[kernkin]

Yep.

[dents0]

why do we use "ET æble" and "EN appelsin"?

[III3uster]

"orange" the fruit is "appelsin"? That's not confusing...

[Thidrekr]

In Dutch, it's "sinaasappel." You get used to it.

[oppikoppi]

Or appelsien...

[JepJep92]

lol I don't get why you got so many down votes for "appelsien"... do people not like Flanders/Limburg? (maybe don't answer that)

[oppikoppi]

Apparently we don't speak Dutch.
