Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) Help/Tips/Tricks Gevechtsring, what kind of language is this word?

Gevechtsring
what does this word mean?

well it's Dutch....why? oh and it means fighting ring or sumthin....

fighting ring? like boxing ring? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Skippy!!....yah something like that...

Dutch is my native tongue, so I can confirm that it's in fact Dutch. I think the best translation would be 'arena'.

zou je dat zeggen....arena is arena...dat heeft geen vertaling nodig....yeah you can call it arena but we have the same word for arena in Dutch....

a better definition...fighting arena....

many thanks. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Gefechtsring : Gefecht = fight, quarrel, Ring = Ring. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

In this copntext, a Ring is a kind of Arena, maybe. I need the Kontext to properly translate it.

Just to make clear : I used the German word. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

well german and dutch show many similarity's in words...and about the word "ring" it has about the same meaning in dutch and english..and german so it seems.....and the word gevecht means a fight or fighting....so fighting arena is about the proper translation...

Yeah, so I just guess both are the same in this word - ecxept one letter. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

and that's another thing learned hehehehe....i actually learned something.....(i'm not very good in german, i totally failed it )

Don't worry. With a bit training it's possibly to understand German, since there is quite an amound of words similar in both languages. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

i can make out most of the words in german when i read it...i totally fail speaking it..and writing it down....maybe i'll take a german course later this year or so...if i can afford it...

Exactly as it is in my case ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" /> (I mean with the netherlands / belgium languages. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> )

at first it looks like german

it doesn't sound like german though....it just like english and dutch...they show alot of similar words too....
