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!

1. Don't speak German but from entering it into a translator...
Edited on Sat Jul-29-06 07:28 PM by Fridays Child
...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
