[–] ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online 6 points 1 year ago (5 children) Zuckerberg literally means sugar hill/mountain in German. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 5 child comments replies: [–] Droggelbecher@lemmy.world 1 point 1 year ago (4 children) As an Austrian, this comment saying that 'Berg' translates to both hill and mountain explains a lot about what I've seen Germans refer to as Berg. To me it only means mountain. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online 2 points 1 year ago (1 child) Most of the time it does mean mountain. But I did hear it used for hill once, but that's it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Droggelbecher@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago A LOT of the ones I've seen Germans refer to as that are hills to me, so maybe it's normal for some. The way we use it, Berg has to go over the tree line, or at the very least be steep enough at the top to not have vegetation there. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Paper_Phrog@lemmy.world 1 point 1 year ago (1 child) Yeah, isn't hill hügel/hüble? Currently hiking in DE and just climbed one and it had the signs, too. Now the real question is - at what point is it considered a mountain? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Droggelbecher@lemmy.world 1 point 1 year ago Our definition: either high enough or steep enough to have no vegetation at the top. For some people, only the former definition counts. But from experience, the definition must be different in Germany. Maybe someone from there can chime in to share their definition! permalink fedilink source parent
