how about accepting Bundes League?

+46

Level 41

Oct 13, 2015

That would be unfortunate, since it is a strange half-baked translation. I would be very much for accepting Federal League, which is English for Bundesliga. But your proposal suggest that it is a league called Bundes, which is not true.

+28

Level 75

May 17, 2020

How about accepting any of the seven ways I misspelled it before giving up? :)

Level 54

Apr 8, 2024

I tried the same thing and when that didn't work, I never thought that perhaps "league" ought to be translated...

+13

Level 73

Apr 23, 2013

Nice quiz! :) Can you please also accept "Rhein" for "Rhine"? The first one is the German spelling of the name.

Level 31

May 5, 2014

Same problem. Put Rhein instead of Rhine.

Level 77

May 15, 2014

Rhein.. and rein and so on. And Elbe and Main and Donau/Danube. Also tried Keiser because of the German pronunciation. AAAARGH! I accept I didn't know Reichstag and Weimar (well didn't remember), but that damn river!

Level ∞

Jul 9, 2015

Rhein will work now.

Level 27

Apr 23, 2013

I know this has nothing to do with this quiz, but...

Thanks for the update of the website and introducing a level system.

Level 91

Apr 23, 2013

Been meaning to do the same thing, but there's nowhere good to do so. Only wish for a bit more transparency about the number of points required to get to the next level, but otherwise VERY happy with the way it's been implemented.

Level 62

Mar 23, 2023

Ten years later and still going strong!

Level 44

Mar 23, 2023

is it???

Level 33

Apr 23, 2013

Ah i said Bratwurst and i spelled audobahn wrong

Level 71

Nov 25, 2019

Audomobile? Audobus? Audomatic? ;) But it's ok we all make mistakes

Level 79

Mar 5, 2020

You should have typed it, not said it!

Level 63

Oct 18, 2020

Well, but Bratwurst only means fried sausage. The Germans boil them too, you know... :)

Level 57

Oct 16, 2013

I also said Bratwurst and spelled audobahn wrong

Level 58

Feb 20, 2014

Bratwurst is a type of sausage, whereas wurst is just sausage in general. Easy mistake to make, though.

Level 38

Nov 22, 2016

still think bratwurst should be accepted; given that its the most internationally known word associated with german sausage

Level 60

Sep 7, 2024

Something being known as correct does not make it so.

+21

Level 58

Mar 28, 2017

Why on earth should bratwurst be accepted? The question is asking for the German word for sausage, not the most internationally famous type of sausage. Will you all stop asking for answers that don't answer the question!

Level 71

Nov 25, 2019

Yea that would like (in a quiz in another language) asking for the english word for meat and wanting them to accept hamburger, because that is what america is known for. That is irrelevant and not the word for meat.

Level 55

Sep 18, 2014

This is the most educational comments section on this website!

Level 25

Sep 29, 2015

I always though wiener was a sausage

Level 68

Sep 29, 2015

It is, but only a type of sausage. Such as a Cheesburger is only a type of Burger...

Level 67

Jan 9, 2020

*Cheeseburger

Bratwurst for wurst?

Level 46

Apr 10, 2018

Golden Bald Eagle for Golden Eagle?

Level 77

Sep 8, 2019

Just "eagle" works fine. No need to make it more complicated.

Level 77

Sep 8, 2019

Bratwurst literally means fried sausage. So if you know Bratwurst, then getting "Wurst" is just a small step. Again, keep it simple.

Level 21

Sep 29, 2015

100% and im not German!!!

Level 73

Mar 9, 2016

Could you maybe accept some alternate spellings for Chancellor? I tried about a dozen spellings (chanceler, chauncellor, chanseler, chaunceler, chanselur) and just couldn't seem to come up with the correct one.

Level 44

Jul 7, 2020

how about kanzler?

Level 54

Aug 27, 2016

didn't read all the questions and missed out on two of the easiest ones (to me) *facepalm*

Level 48

Mar 15, 2017

I missed Bundestag!

Level 81

Mar 12, 2018

Hey i just asked myself if you could accept ''D Mark/D-Mark'' for Deutsche Mark.Most people i've heard in my own country (Germany) refer to it as that (as an abbrevation) rather than the full Name :) (though i think most people KNOW the full name)

Level 82

Apr 20, 2020

I tried just "Mark" and was very confused as to why it was not accepted. Isn't that sort of the same as not accepting "dollar" for "American dollar" or "pound" for "British pound?"

Level ∞

May 16, 2020

Mark is accepted though.

Level 82

Jun 22, 2020

k if you say so. This time I just typed in the whole thing.

Level 35

May 11, 2018

Pretty straight forward for someone who spends a lot of time in Germany! :)

Level 52

May 27, 2018

I ran out of time on about 8 of them because I couldnt recall the capital of West Germany.

Level 58

Jul 11, 2019

The question about the title of the prime minister may be misleading. You may want to consider asking for title for the head of government as there is no such thing as a prime minister at federal level.

Level 34

Aug 31, 2019

The german word for prussia (Preußen) should be correct aswell

Level 54

Mar 25, 2023

@quizmaster. I, totally agree, but it is stil not accepted (or at least preussen) :(

Level 71

Sep 6, 2019

My history isnt great so I missed weimar and prussia, (if the pwas there I would have know it) and for bundesliga I was looking for a top club. Without the top and just german soccer leauge I might have got it, but now it seems you were looking for the top club in the league

Level 71

Nov 25, 2019

Got em al this time so I guess I learned something. But I couldnt see which I had missed last time (though was pretty sure weimar was one of the three) guess it was reset.

Level 68

Oct 1, 2019

Just guessed for eagle.

Level 68

Apr 20, 2020

YOOO I ONLY GOT LUFTHANSA FROM WATCHING GOODFELLAS

Level 54

May 18, 2020

Did you think the full name was Lufthansaheist?

Level 76

May 28, 2020

Not gonna lie, that's exactly how I always remember the name of it too

Level 72

May 16, 2020

I tried "Turk" and "Turkish". Could those be allowed, please?

Level ∞

May 16, 2020

Yes.

Level 83

May 16, 2020

Rhein doesn't work (only Rein), Turkish could be accepted and kanzler as well.

Level ∞

May 16, 2020

Rhein and Kanzler will work now.

Level 86

May 17, 2020

Kanzler doesn't work for the moment, but maybe it's not updated yet?

Level 70

May 16, 2020

Do you have any source for the "national animal"? As far as I know, the german "Federal Eagle" or "Imperial Eagle" has no defined biological counterpart.

Level ∞

May 16, 2020

Changed the question a little, thanks.

Level 75

May 17, 2020

Finally one where I get the 100% on first try! (it's my chance to ask for my Nauru country quiz to be featured!!)

Level 85

May 18, 2020

Forgot the Danube. Dummkopf!!!

Level 78

Sausage is the wurst.

(Actually, it's delicious. I will show myself out...)

Level 90

Jul 20, 2020

Sausage is indeed delicious. A good breakfast food item for me.

Level 72

May 24, 2020

There's a typo in the typeins for German equivalent of Prime Minister, "bundeskanzler" doesn't work

Level ∞

May 24, 2020

Fixed

Level 49

Jun 5, 2020

im german and i missed bavaria because i didnt know the english spelling, thought it was barvaria

Level 83

Jul 7, 2020

'Bayern' worked for me

Level 79

Jul 9, 2020

Got all correct (maybe studying German helps) :)

Level 59

Jul 10, 2020

What about River Main

Level 81

Jul 22, 2020

Not one of the main rivers apparently

Level 90

Jul 20, 2020

Uh, okay. I just left a comment when the total was at 17 or something, and then all of a sudden it just jumped up to 62. That's weird.

Level 85

Jul 20, 2020

Germany has a bicameral legislature with a Bundesrat and a Bundestag. You should give credit for the former as well as the latter.

Level 86

Jul 20, 2020

Reichstag is not a correct answer for the German equivalent to Parliament. "Palace of Westminster" wouldn't be accepted for the governing body of the UK.

Level 78

Jul 20, 2020

Yes, first of these country quizzes that I’ve got 100% on

Level 31

Jul 20, 2020

I just got Berlin, Frankfurt and Brother Grimm

Level 67

Jul 20, 2020

I really should have done a lot better on this. "Bundestag" was bouncing around my brain and I just couldn't summon it.

Level 48

Jul 21, 2020

I tried so many spellings of wienerschnitzel. As many of you know it is spelled w-u-r-s-t.

Level 78

Jul 21, 2020

April Fool's?

Level 58

Jul 24, 2020

That's veal

Level 58

Jul 22, 2020

"Preussen" should work for "Prussia", as it is/was the German and official name of the country :)

Level 58

Jul 24, 2020

Can we think of a sports question for these countries other than "top soccer league" it's biased toward people who enjoy that boring *** sport

Level 62

Jul 26, 2020

It's the most popular sport in Germany (by far) so it wouldn't make sense to ask anything else. They're not going to ask the name of the top football (soccer) league in the US quiz

Level 46

Aug 14, 2020

None of those rivers are within Germany. I think you should alter the clue.

Level 46

Jan 27, 2021

You are wrong. All these rivers are in Germany.

Level 74

Oct 4, 2020

Why is Gauß on the thumbnail when there isn't a question on him?

Level 81

Dec 4, 2020

...erm, the money question?

Level 68

Apr 17, 2021

It's an old Deutsche Mark bill. The 10 DM bill.

Level 16

Dec 20, 2020

19/20 as a german...

Level 28

Sep 26, 2021

Preußen for Prussia would be good, i didn't know the english word

Level 69

Jan 3, 2022

Most non German keyboards don't even have that character.

Level 46

Jan 2, 2023

You can write "ss" for "ß". In every quiz on Jetpunk it is like that

Level 60

Letter P Scavenger Hunt Answer (See my blog)

Level 15

Oct 17, 2021

Its not nonly Bundestag. It's Bundesrat too. To a certain extant Bundesversammlung is also part of it.

Level 68

Aug 18, 2022

Nah, I'd disagree there. Of course the Bundesrat is a legislative body and therefore a part of the German democracy, but it represents the 16 Bundesländer on a federal level and isn't part of the parliament. The Bundesversammlung is also not a part of the parliament, I mean you would never call a member of the Bundesversammlung automatically a Member of parliament as well, would you?

Level 43

Dec 8, 2021

2:47 left

Level 68

Dec 8, 2022

don´t they use Euros?

Level 46

Jan 2, 2023

Yes, but the question is about the former currency

Level 32

Mar 23, 2023

LH should be accepted for Lufthansa because it is their IATA call sign.

Level 41

Mar 26, 2023

i think all of the german translations should be accepted as well (idk if it's hard to do that, but if it's possible, it would be a great addition, since i know some things in german and not english, even though i'm dutch)

Level 14

Jul 3, 2023

Preußen for preusia please

Level 54

Feb 1, 2024

please accept bundesadler
