   Hi, Mark Lewis!   
   I read your message from 10.07.2019 01:28   
      
    ML>>> orange is also the name of a fruit in english...   
      
    AS>> Russian has separate words for the fruit and the color,   
      
    ML> that's interesting... i'm learning something!   
      
    ML> can you write what the two words are? maybe i can paste them into   
    ML> google translate to see the differences?   
      
   The orange color came to Russia from French orange fruit. It so happened that   
   only the color remained.   
      
   Apelsin fruit (orange fruit) came from Holland - in Russia they thought it was   
   an apple, and they called it by the Holland word "appel". In this way we had   
   got the word "apelsin" and "apelsinovy cvet(color)" (which, however, is more   
   yellowish than orange color, in Russia).   
      
   Bye, Mark!
