This is cool! "Naked snail" - lol German is always so literal. By the way, pretty sure "verischerung" should be "versicherung" :)

Very cool quiz! Nominated and spotlighted :)

However Streichholzschächtelchen is maybe a bit too forced.

Streichholzschachtel is much more common for the same small size.

As a native Mandarin speaker and non-native English and German speaker, I understand Unfall (accident) and Versicherung (insurance) as I know Fall (case, situation) and sicher (safe; sure), but I don't understand compensation…

The overuse of loanwords from French and Latin since 1066 makes English much hard to understand and lack of logic.
