Orange is also fairly universal, something similar to naranja or portokáli. In English we say the word with a hard g but with a soft g as in German it sounds closer to naranja - oran-ja.

German has a similar, semi-archaic word for it: Apfelsine, still in some use for its juice (my 80-ish year old mother in law uses it)
I think “Sinaasappel” is still the more common name for the fruit in the Netherlands.
