Just call 'em seaturtles and landturtles like other Germanic languages. Then you can just ask them how they identify and throw them wherever is best suited.

Those ones belong in a pond, preferably in a Tesla.

The Hungarian word for turtles (both land and sea one) translates to “frog with a bathtub”

Also in Dutch. It’s “schildpad”.

German gets too much credit for compound nouns. Dutch is really good at it as well: bromfiets, snelweg, etc.

Hungary is a silly place. The bathtub is upside down then.

Actually… not bathtub, more like trough.
Still upside down. But imagine you had to carry a trough on your back. Which way would you turn it?
