Okay, now your german skills are required
'Holzscheit mit Loch' (log with hole) Does that sound okay? The alternative would be 'Undichter Holzscheit' (leaky log ) which sounds not okay (since 'undicht' means that something can't hold a liquid, e.g. a bucket)

[Shoonay]

hmmm.
while a "leaky log" sounds ok in english, the german version imho should be the log with hole
maybe let's ask our newest group member Irek'72?

---=== EDITED ===---
iirc, at one place in the game you're gonna have to swim from place to place on a log. that log has a hole and the water leaks inside. so that' why i think "a leaky log" is ok

Ah okay, then it's not 'Holzscheit' but 'Baumstamm' (a bit bigger ) and now I get it

Btw : Translating is fun

[TCD]

Okay, now that's a bit confusing
What's the difference between 'PIEn' and 'PNIAK'

[Shoonay]

PNIAK is smaller i guess
Don't worry about it, we polish just have too many words for plants and trees and nature stuff like that, just like the Eskimo for snow

[TCD]

Yeah, I think that's right since every 3rd word in that game is a plant

Another tiny annotation : Isn't 'KAMYK' something like 'pebble' in english? Just tried to find 'rocky' as a noun and you know what happened

[Shoonay]

kamyk - kamień
kamień = rock
so, as "kamyk" is "a smaller rock", i figured i'd call it "rocky"

[TCD]

It's somehow the same in german
Stein = normal sized
Steinchen = smaller size
So that's no problem and if blackcornflake said it's okay I guess it's okay

[Chain]

PNIAK looks similar to slovak peň, which means shaft only, not whole tree, iirc.
ive just found enoyable watching these threads...err..never mind

lol, no. please. don't
spare at least those two names

[Dizzy]

Damn this game is a bigger study in plants and rocks....

[Shoonay]

lol, believe me dizzy that's not even 1/4 of the plant names out there

[Dizzy]

it's a little hard finding retarded names for all those plants and trees in the game

Well, not quite.

PIENIEK = PNIAK and you can translate it into "STUMP"
PIEN is not the same as PNIAK or PIENIEK and you have to translate it as a TRUNK or STEM.

5h00n4y, we need to correct it in english version.

[TCD]

Okay mailman I will change PIEN then. I get it right that it's the main part of the tree (you know that big thingy in the middle )
