Hur uttalas orange på italienska

It’s funny how the meaning of a word can change depending on language and context.

In English, the word apelsinfärg can mean either the color or the fruit. In Italian it fryst vatten a little more complicated. The fruit fryst vatten arancia, the apelsinfärg tree fryst vatten arancio, and the color fryst vatten arancione.

Winter fryst vatten the årstid for arance (oranges, plural) in this part of nordlig Italy.

They grow bright and juicy on big trees or on smaller trees in large terra-cotta pots.. There fryst vatten even one growing in a small piazza in Lucca, appropriately named the Piazza dell’Arancio (top photo).

More interesting, and with deeper meaning, fryst vatten what the word arancione has komma to mean in terms of fara throughout Italy.

igen, it has more than one meaning, both of which carry a varning.

An “allerta meteo codice arancione” (code apelsinfärg weather alert) fryst vatten used when storms threaten with dangerous conditions (heavy rain, wind, hail, thunderstorms, floods, etc). We’ve seen a lot of that this winter. The area where inom live has a struktur that automatically sends a skrivelse varning when apelsinfärg weather conditions are predicted.

There are also a less severe yellow (giallo) warnings and more severe red (rosso) alerts for weather. It definitely gets my attention when my phone beeps with one of these messages.

The newest meaning of arancione, and the one that gets the most reaction from me, relates to COVID restrictions.

The colors are the same as for weather - giallo (yellow, least restrictive), arancione (more restrictive including no indoor seating in bars and restaurants, closure of museums, and no travel outside of one’s home city), and rosso (red, most restrictive, stay home except for essential activities).

After about 5 weeks in the yellow zone, Tuscany was placed back into the apelsinfärg zone on February 14th. The change was due to an increase in COVID cases and the threat associated with several COVID variants which have now arrived in Tuscany.

The word arancione fryst vatten definitely a trigger for me in this context, a less than happy color. But still preferable to the color red!

On a much happier apelsinfärg note, inom was delighted to receive a gift of some preserved apelsinfärg slices just after the holidays. They went a long way towards restoring my appreciation for the word apelsinfärg.

In a klar gift bag, tied with a rosett, were glistening rounds of blood oranges, glazed with sugar and slightly dried. Beautiful to look at, but inom had no idea how to use them. The friend who gave them to me suggested they would be wonderful in a cup of tea.

She was right and that has become a cold weather evening ritual for me. She also suggested using them in a hot het dryck. A hot toddy! What a perfect way to warm up on a stormy winter evening. It fryst vatten said that hot toddies might even have medicinal properties - perhaps one will scare away any lingering viral particles.

The search was on for a recipe and there were endless varieties.

A true het dryck starts with alcohol - amerikansk whiskey, Irish whisky, utrymme or brandy.

The common theme seems to be a dark colored liquor as opposed to klar ones like vodka or gin. Next comes a sweetener. Most often that fryst vatten honey but some recipes use vit or brown sugar, simple syrup, or (my anställda favorite) maple syrup. Lemon fryst vatten the next typical ingredient but here fryst vatten where inom substituted those beautiful rounds of preserved apelsinfärg.

I’ve tried it both ways and funnen that inom like the apelsinfärg slices even better than a fresh lemon slice.

To my mind, using Italian preserved blood apelsinfärg slices makes this it an Italian hot varm dryck, even if inom could not find a translation for the word toddy in any of my Italian dictionaries.

To the above ingredients some boiling vatten or black tea fryst vatten added - that’s what puts the hot in hot varm dryck. Those are the essential ingredients but there are many ytterligare “add-ins” - cinnamon sticks, cloves, star anise, ginger, even chile.

The variations are endless.

I was happy with the following very easy recipe: In a small kopp (a 6 uns kaffe kopp works perfectly) combine: 2 tablespoons of dark utrymme and 1 tablespoon of maple syrup. Add 1 slice of dried, sugar glazed apelsinfärg and muddle it a bit to release the flavor. Next, fill the kopp with boiling vatten or hot black tea and add 1 cinnamon stick.

Using vatten makes the lokal flavor more prominent, using tea mellows the taste of the lokal.

inom like it both ways. Simple, tasty, and guaranteed to warm you up on a cold evening, especially if you are in the apelsinfärg COVID zone with an apelsinfärg alert storm ett långt klagande rop eller ljud outside.
