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

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

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

            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)

              Apparently we don't speak Dutch.
