Geman speakers, translating help, bitte (I don't even know how to spell |
|
that!)
A friend brought me this little sign for my driveway. What is the real meaning?
Privatgrundstuck (dots over the u) Parken auf eigene Gefahr!

...it seems to mean something like "Private property. Park here at your own risk." The literal translation is:
"Private basic stucco parks on own danger."
Those translators make for some funny stuff, at times. :P
