narancas
— Sí, toma — le entregó un frasco de cristal pequeño con un líquido anaranjado dentro. Mientras las dos criadas iban a por más agua, él lo destapó y lo olió.
— Parece algún tipo de fruta — se lo acercó a ella para que lo oliera.
— Es naranja, una vez comí una que me regaló Olaf — Erik levantó la cabeza, repentinamente alerta.
— ¿Olaf?
— Es un chico del asentamiento.
— ¿Te gustaba? – sus ojos empezaron a cambiar de color otra vez. Yvette no lo recordaba, pero había hablado de Olaf cuando deliraba por la fiebre.
— ¿De qué sirve hablar sobre eso?
— ¿Y por qué tenía narancas en su poder? No creo que sea una fruta de estas tierras.
— Naranjas. Es una fruta muy rica que se cultiva en países cálidos, por ejemplo, en España. Olaf las compró en el mercado, yo no las había comido nunca porque son muy caras.
Even though the speaker is an adult, he can't pronounce "oranges" correctly, because he's never heard of them before.
Muchas Gracias,
Barbara

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Maybe if we are in Fargo, or parts of Idaho, I think Barbara's idea has merit something like Ornyyusuhs, trying to remember, coffee was something like Kava, or kavee, (as always who are we writing for?)
Opa always call dynmite, dyneemight
But the word we’re being asked to translate doesn’t exist!
