I know! What does "kranken" mean?! [I could probably figure it out on Google, but it's more fun to just ask the question.]

I'm pretty sure it means "sick" in German. The Sick Car.

Oh, how cute can you get.

It just makes me want to go and find cute words for things from every language.

How about Esperanto?

sail boat = navigi boato (I assume navigi is a verb)

sailboat = velŝipo
