Talk:Zug

Additional meanings
Zug is lacking a few meanings. However, I can't figure out the corresponding English equivalent for all of them. The Duden definitions are below; DeepL should translate them accurately enough if you don't understand German:


 * sich fortbewegende Gruppe, Schar, Kolonne (procession, NOT military-specific)
 * Vorrichtung (z. B. Band, Hebel, Griff), mit der ein Zug (3) ausgeübt wird, um etwas auseinander- oder zusammenzuziehen, zu öffnen oder zu schließen o. Ä. (a hypernym for handle needed?)
 * Durchgang, Kanal, Rohr für die Luft im Ofen oder Kamin (?)
 * durch Erziehung erreichte Ordnung, Ausrichtung; Disziplin (order, discipline)
 * spiralig gewundene Vertiefung im Innern des Laufs einer Feuerwaffe (?)
 * lang gestreckte landschaftliche Formation (range, like a mountain range)
 * ausziehbares Fach, Schubfach (drawer, but Duden notes regional)

Would appreciate any assistance with the three I can't figure out a translation for, and some confirmation of the others as being adequate. Allenthalben (talk) 03:39, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Your third sense seems like it means flue and your fifth sense seems like it means rifled groove or spiral groove but I may well be wrong (I’m just going by what seems to me to correspond with the translations of the Duden definitions as they appear on DeepL, as I know very little German). I’m not sure about your second sense. Overlordnat1 (talk) 00:52, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

military unit
why isn't the meaning "military unit" included? Zug is the german equivalent to a platoon. --212.144.109.168 14:06, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
 * it was not included because nobody had added that meaning yet. I extended the translation list. Thanks for the hint --Zeitlupe 14:10, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
